All SACSCOC accredited institutions that complete mergers or consolidations must document compliance with these specific SACSCOC Principles in a detailed self-study that is shared with the SACSCOC Substantive Change Committee charged with conducting the required post-consolidation site visit. USF’s Documentation for the Substantive Change Committee was submitted to the SACSCOC Committee members on December 11, 2020. The Committee will review this Documentation and ask questions about it during the virtual site visit on January 26-28, 2021. All members of the USF community should be familiar with what is in the Documentation for the Substantive Change Committee, in case the Committee asks them questions about it.
