Quality Enhancement Plan

What is the QEP?

The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a critical part of the accreditation process for institutions under the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). It represents Florida Southern College's commitment to continuous improvement and enhancing its educational programs.

The QEP is a comprehensive document that:

Focuses on Improvement

The QEP addresses specific student learning outcomes or areas of student success.

Demonstrates Capability

The plan highlights the institution's ability to initiate, implement, and complete targeted initiatives.

Engages the Community

Broad-based involvement from faculty, staff, students, and community partners ensures collaborative development and implementation.

Measures Success

An integrated assessment plan evaluates progress and achievement of QEP goals.

How Can the FSC Community Get Involved?

The QEP success relies on broad-based participation from the entire FSC community. Your involvement will be vital to creating a plan that reflects our shared commitment to continuous improvement and student success. Look to contribute by:

  • Sharing Your Ideas
    Faculty, staff, students, and community partners are encouraged to engage in conversations, offer insights, and help shape the QEP’s goals and initiatives.
  • Joining a Committee
    Dedicated QEP committees actively plan, implement, and assess. Your expertise and perspective can help drive the plan forward.
  • Participating in Events
    Campus-wide events will provide opportunities to learn more about the QEP and offer input on how FSC can enhance student learning and success.

The more voices contributing, the stronger and more impactful the plan will be.

Key Dates to Keep in Mind

As we progress with the QEP, your awareness and participation are essential to its success. Please mark these important dates on your calendar:
