Dear Campus Community:
As stated in my December 5, 2017 campus message, the SACSCOC Board confirmed that UTRGV successfully addressed all concerns cited in its probationary letter of January 11, 2017.
At its December 2017 annual meeting, the SACSCOC Board continued UTRGV on probation for Federal Requirement 4.7, a standard not originally cited in the January 11, 2017 letter.
Last week we received our official notification from SACSCOC, which requests that UTRGV provide externally verified evidence that all findings have been fully addressed. This work is well underway. The SACSCOC Board will review UTRGV’s resolution of any findings at the December 2018 annual meeting.
As a reminder, UTRGV remains accredited. As such, graduate and undergraduate degrees earned are awarded by an accredited university.
Just as we successfully addressed all of the concerns before, we are confident that this last issue will also be addressed successfully. Please visit our accreditation FAQs page for additional information.
Sincerely,
Guy Bailey
UTRGV President
