What’s Your QEP?

ACC is in the process of developing a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) to improve student learning.  Faculty and staff have until Midnight October 31 to submit their ideas for a QEP topic through this quick 5 question survey.

Faculty and staff are in a unique position to help identify steps that ACC can take to enhance the student learning experience. Participants who submit their ideas will be entered in a drawing for prizes, including massages and free Continuing Education classes. The grand prize is an Apple iPad!

The QEP is a requirement for ACC’s reaccreditation with SACS and a component of ACC’s Student Success Initiative.  For more information about the QEP, please visit www.austincc.edu/sacs/qep or contact Amanda Karel at [email protected].
