What is SACSCOC accreditation?

Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) ensures that the newly integrated institution continues to meet the rigorous standards for providing a high-quality education and remains eligible for federal funding (including financial aid for students) operating transparently and with integrity. Both UTSA and UT Health San Antonio were separately accredited by SACSCOC and complied with all standards of the Commission. The integration of the two institutions prompts what is categorized as a Substantive Change, which warrants a review of the accrediting standards and applicable requirements for the newly integrated university.
