What is a QEP?

Accreditation

As part of the University’s decennial reaffirmation of accreditation process by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), UT Arlington must develop a 2027 Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The QEP will be integral to our reaffirmation of accreditation and will be derived from our ongoing comprehensive planning and evaluation processes.

UTA’s 2027 Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) will reflect and affirm our commitment to enhance overall institutional quality and effectiveness. It will advance our Mission, Vision, and Values. With broad input and support from the UTA community, we will carefully design a focused course of action that will enhance specific student learning outcomes and/or student success.
