Data-Informed Accreditation: SCC’s Transformation Story

Accreditation can make or break an institution—but what if your approach to it could drive lasting institutional transformation? Join us for a panel discussion featuring Southeast Community College (SCC) leaders as they share their remarkable journey from accreditation challenges to becoming a model of excellence.

For the first time in its history, SCC successfully completed a comprehensive accreditation review and fully met all criteria without issue. What changed? A new leadership approach, a commitment to transparency, and a data-first strategy using tools like Nuventive and ZogoTech to support their assurance review.

In this discussion, our panelists will explore:

• How SCC moved from a reactive to an evidence-forward approach to accreditation.
• The role of data and continuous improvement in driving institutional change.
• Key takeaways from their April 2023 site visit—and what made this evaluation different.

Whether your institution is preparing for an accreditation review, looking to improve compliance, or striving for data-driven decision-making, this panel discussion will provide actionable insights you can apply immediately.
