SACSCOC Reaffirmation

The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) continues to participate as a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and provides this website to communicate the University’s progress on the latest review of the University's compliance with The Principles of Accreditation "Accreditation by SACSCOC signifies that the institution (1) has a mission appropriate to higher education, (2) has resources, programs, and services sufficient to accomplish and sustain that mission, and (3) maintains clearly specified educational objectives that are consistent with its mission and appropriate to the degrees it offers, and that indicate whether it is successful in achieving its stated objectives." [Principles of Accreditation, 2024 edition, p. 3]

This website also includes accreditation resources that may be helpful for the University community including links to the 2024 Fifth-Year Interim Report and to the previous projects, the 2018 Reaffirmation Project, and the 2014 Fifth-Year Interim Report. Supporting documentation is referenced within the written text and at the end of each compliance certification. Documents containing sensitive information remain encrypted and require approved access; other documents are publicly available.
