PURPOSE
(approved by the Executive Committee 21-VIII-00)


The University of Kentucky Self-Study is a multi-year, comprehensive, institution-wide, self-assessment and evaluation. This process will help to ensure that the University of Kentucky meets established standards of quality and that it continually evaluates the extent to which it meets educational goals.

From this self-examination will come recommendations for improvments or enhancements to policies, processes, programs, services, facilities, and personnel. By addressing the Criteria for Accreditation of the Commission on Colleges, the University of Kentucky will gain reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
