About Reaffirmation

Reaffirmation of regional accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) requires completion of a Compliance Certification Report (CCR), the development of a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), off- and on-site peer reviews, as well as a Commission review.

The Reaffirmation Process

Rollins College's institutional accreditation was reaffirmed in 2025 with no recommendations for improvement. The College's scheduled decennial reaffirmation of institutional accreditation review took place in 2024-2025 and included the following.

  • Preparation of a CCR, demonstrating the College's judgment of the extent to which it complies with each of the SASCOC Core Requirements and Standards, outlined in the 2024 Principles of Accreditation.
  • Review of the CCR by an off-site SACSCOC committee of peers.
  • Development of a QEP aligned to the College's strategic plans and intended to enhance student learning.
  • Review of the CCR and QEP proposal by an on-site SACSCOC committee of peers. This committee provided a written report intended to help Rollins improve its programs and refine its QEP, and aids the Commission in making its decision to reaffirm accreditation.

The College completed its SACSCOC reaffirmation of accreditation on-site visit in spring 2025 with no recommendations. The SACSCOC Board of Trustees reaffirmed the College’s institutional accreditation with no recommendations through 2035 in December 2025.

Fifth-Year Interim Report

The Fifth-Year Interim Report (FYIR) is an abbreviated version of the SACSCOC Compliance Certification Report (CCR) and a report of assessed outcomes for the College's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The College’s next FYIR will be submitted to SACSCOC for review in spring 2031.
