Accreditation Leadership Team

The University of Florida has established an Accreditation Leadership Team to manage and validate the University's compliance with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools 2018 Principles of Accreditation as the University prepares for its 2024 Reaffirmation of Accreditation. The Leadership Team oversees the completion of our decennial report, guides the process of reaffirmation in all areas that the Principles require, and provides support for faculty and staff as they engage with the accreditation effort.
