Wake Forest University: Reaffirmation of accreditation in 2026

A message from the Office of the Provost

Throughout 2024-25, all schools and divisions of the University will be preparing the compliance report for our decennial SACSCOC (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges) reaffirmation of accreditation in 2026.

Members of the University’s SACSCOC Compliance Team have begun drafting the narratives that comprise the report and may reach out to individuals in the Wake Forest community for help addressing specific standards with information, data or documentation of Wake Forest’s processes and policies. Please help our SACSCOC report writers locate information if they reach out to you.

Please also continue to collect assessment data – three cycles of data or more are ideal – and keep minutes from committee meetings. Both are rich sources of information and documentation to show our policies in action.

Reaffirmation of accreditation is an important and meaningful process in which Wake Forest reviews our practices from top to bottom to ensure we are carrying out our mission and continuously improving in our ambitious goals.

See Wake Forest’s SACSCOC website for more information on the reaffirmation processes and timeline.
