SACS has implemented a required Fifth-Year Interim Report, which can best be described as a mini-compliance report coming between the decennial re-accreditation. Since USF’s re-accreditation was in 2005, that means that the Fifth-Year Interim Report is due to SACS in the Fall of 2010. This report will include an institutional summary and an abbreviated compliance certification, which monitors the university’s compliance with certain SACS’ Core Requirements and Comprehensive Standards. Part of the report will include assessment plans/reports of all undergraduate and graduate academic programs for 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 academic years.
