What is the timeline for the QEP?

In early summer of 2022, we will submit our QEP to SACSCOC. During the fall 2022 On Site visit by the SACSCOC evaluators, the QEP will be reviewed by the entire committee led by the QEP Lead Evaluator. In late fall 2022, the SACSCOC Board will take final action on our reaffirmation of accreditation, including the acceptability of our QEP. The Steering Committee has developed a more detailed timeline of activities related to planning and implementing our QEP.

Who will implement the QEP?

The short answer is anyone involved in the academic/service mission.

A more nuanced answer is that the Steering Committee will develop a detailed plan for implementation, including (as needed) forming other committees or sub-committees to address specific tasks. The QEP will require that those involved in the academic/service programs be closely involved in development, implementation and assessment of the QEP.

 

601

What are the five topics and how are the selected?

A survey will be sent to a broad base of constituents including students, faculty, staff, community members, administrators, board members, workforce representatives, etc. The top three themes will be selected based on the survey data. A call for topic proposals will then be sent out. The submitted proposals will be vetted based on a QEP rubric and five will be selected for further presentation. Based on review of the five presentations, a final QEP topic will be selected.

601

Who will choose the topic?

There has been an appointed QEP Steering Committee. The Steering Committee has developed a detailed plan for choosing a topic that includes input from as wide an array of institutional stakeholders as possible. The campus will select one of the five topics proposed by the Steering Committee.

601

What happens if the QEP does not meet the stated goals?

To be acceptable, we do not have to guarantee success at the time of submission. However, we do have to make the case that the QEP has a reasonable chance of succeeding in meeting the goals. We must demonstrate to the evaluators that NTCC has and is willing to commit sufficient resources (financial, human, and physical) to ensure a reasonable chance of meeting the goals. Pilot projects before full implementation is one way we can determine the potential success of the QEP.

601

What are the principal components of a QEP?

There are five principal components of a QEP according to the SACSCOC Standards of Accreditation, Core Requirement 7.2:

  1. Has a topic identified through it’s ongoing, comprehensive planning and evaluation processes
  2. Has broad-based support of institutional constituencies
  3. Focuses on improving specific student learning outcomes and/or student success
  4. Commits resources to initiate, implement and complete the QEP
  5. Includes a plan to assess achievement

Additionally, we must develop goals/outcomes (at least some related to student learning/student success), measures of those outcomes, a literature review, and a budget.
