QUALITY ENHANCEMENT PLAN
The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a part of the reaffirmation process directed
by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the regional accrediting
body for higher education. The SACS 2011 QEP, Literacy: Promoting Excellence in
Learning, is a unique opportunity for Texas Southern University to accomplish the
mission of the institution and support student learning by focusing on the core
competencies of information and communication literacy. The implementation of the
QEP includes broad-based involvement of institutional constituencies and represents a
commitment by the university to improve the first-year academic experience in
meaningful and measurable ways. The intended consequences of the QEP are improved
knowledge and skills in information and communication literacy, improved academic
achievement in freshman year, and improved retention and progress toward graduation.
