UT San Antonio receives final approval from national accrediting agency
June 16, 2026
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) has achieved another significant milestone in the creation of a unified university, as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) affirmed the verification of the institution’s continued compliance with its accreditation standards as a merged university. This verification completes the required process for institutional-level accreditation for a merger.
The decision marks another important step in the university’s integration journey and reflects the progress made since SACSCOC officially approved the merger in June 2025. Following a site visit in October 2025, a SACSCOC review committee affirmed that UT San Antonio remained in compliance with all accreditation standards as a newly integrated institution. This week, the SACSCOC Board of Trustees’ vote confirmed the committee’s findings.
