This guide is designed to inform FSCJ students, faculty and staff about the importance of a new Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) currently under development, and to collect your ideas about potential QEP topics for improving student learning and outcomes.
A Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) focuses on improving student learning outcomes (SLOs) and/or student success over a five-year period of time. Through a process that will engage a variety of stakeholder voices, FSCJ will select a topic that will allow the institution to reflect on and affirm our commitment to student success for its diverse student body. The QEP will be designed to enhance overall institutional quality and effectiveness by focusing on an issue that the institution considers important to improving student learning outcomes and/or student success.

The QEP is an integral part of the SACSCOC reaffirmation of accreditation of educational programs for the College.
The QEP is derived from the College's ongoing, comprehensive planning and evaluation processes. Our QEP will be informed by the following components as prescribed in the SACSCOC Resource Manual for the Principles of Accreditation (Standard 7.2):
QEP Process Factors
Factor 1: A QEP topic is identified and selected through the College's ongoing, comprehensive planning and evaluation processes
Factor 2: Ensure broad-based support of institutional constituencies
Factor 3: Focus on improving specific student learning outcomes and/or student success
Factor 4: Commit resources to initiate, implement, and complete the QEP
Factor 5: Include a plan to assess achievement
A new Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) can potentially help FSCJ improve student outcomes by concentrating one program toward supporting a goal within FSCJ's VIP 2.0 Plan. Please review the VIP 2.0 Plan below and consider sharing an idea that you believe will make the biggest positive impact on student outcomes and supports an existing goal.
