Planning for Student Success! The Quality Enhancement Plan, Texas A&M University-Kingsville
The Planning Committee of Texas A&M University-Kingsville has prepared an online survey for input on the Quality Enhancement Plan for the university. The Quality Enhancement Plan is focused on improving student success and enhancing student learning. The Quality Enhancement Plan will guide the course of the University for the next 5 years. Your input is essential because we want to focus on issues deemed most critical by the campus community.

SACS requires the university to develop a Quality Enhancement Plan for the accreditation process. A significant level of participation by the entire university community in the planning process is critically important to SACS.

We strongly encourage everyone to take just a few minutes and fill out the online survey. Please announce the website address in your classes, and strongly encourage your students to participate in the survey. The online survey can be accessed through the Jernigan Library Home Page, or by clicking on http://web.lib.tamuk.edu/qep/index.htm or http://168.53.200.6/qep/index.htm. We will also be adding links on the University home page and the SACS home page.

The survey will enable the Planning Committee to identify the issues that are most critical to faculty, staff, students, and the public we serve. The goals of the Quality Enhancement Plan will be based on the results of the online survey. More information about the Quality Enhancement Plan can be found on the SACS website at http://www.tamuk.edu/sacs/.
We ask that everyone take a few minutes and complete the survey. Your privacy is guaranteed. The information you provide us will be kept strictly confidential, and will be used in summary for statistical purposes only.
