Why is the QEP important to the College?<\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"gb-accordion-text\">\n<p>The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is an integral component of the reaffirmation of accreditation process and is derived from an institution\u2019s ongoing comprehensive planning and evaluation processes. It reflects and affirms a commitment to enhance overall institutional quality and effectiveness by focusing on an issue the institution considers important to improving student learning outcomes and\/or student success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-accordion gb-block-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"gb-accordion-title\"><strong><strong>2. How does the QEP impact my role at the College?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"gb-accordion-text\">\n<p>Each Riverbat (employees and students) at ACC will contribute to the QEP in various ways. Some of you will be asked to serve on various committees (i.e., Topic Selection, Development, Implementation) related to the QEP. Others of you will be asked to provide input or documentation to show compliance. We are also interested in receiving suggestions for QEP topics from anyone in the ACC community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-accordion gb-block-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"gb-accordion-title\"><strong><strong>3. How is the QEP different from the AMP proposals?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"gb-accordion-text\">\n<p>As a requirement of ACC&#8217;s 2023 SACSCOC Reaffirmation, the QEP is a project carried out over five years that must focus on improving student learning outcomes and\/or student success and must be derived from ACC\u2019s ongoing comprehensive planning and evaluation processes. The AMP proposals are part of ACC\u2019s ongoing comprehensive planning and evaluation processes and will be one of many documents that will help to inform ACC\u2019s next QEP topic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-accordion gb-block-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"gb-accordion-title\"><strong><strong>4. What has ACC done for past QEPs?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary><div class=\"gb-accordion-text\">\n<p>In 2012, ACC launched its Math PLUS QEP. To select topic that year, the college gathered input from the college and local community and\u00a0thoughtfully evaluated suggestions within the context of current college initiatives and\u00a0student success data, project scalability, available college resources, and the potential\u00a0impact on student learning.
