March 2012 Draft of the Compliance Certification
The SACSCOC Steering Committee is pleased to share this draft of the Compliance Certification for JMU's upcoming reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). JMU's accreditation is an important status that affects all aspects of the university. Our thanks go out to the many faculty and staff members who contributed to the report.
The Compliance Certification in its entirety will not be completed until mid-August because of data collection that must occur during the spring and summer. In the meantime, we feel it is important to offer the JMU community the opportunity to view our progress on the narrative thus far.
The pdf below follows the structure of the final report. Each section begins with a numbered SACSCOC standard, followed by our compliance statement. The next section is our response to the standard. In the final version submitted to SACSCOC the narrative will have supporting evidence, some of which is currently shown in brackets. Links to the evidence are unavailable for this review.
Please review the document and submit your comments to sacscoc@jmu.edu.
Thank you for your support during our reaffirmation. Please contact either of us if you need any additional information.
