Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)

What is a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)?

The Quality Enhancement Plan or QEP is a multi-year project to improve an important aspect of student learning through broad-based involvement and is a requirement of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

What is St. Philip's College QEP?

SPC has developed a QEP to improve student success by cultivating a Culture of Caring and Belonging: Developing FAMILIA.

Objectives
A. Enhance our current systems of student support and increase awareness for all students.

B. Build connections and communication through student programming and activities.

C. Improve professional development opportunities to provide faculty and staff training to better support student success.

What aspects of learning do we want to emphasize?

By the end of the QEP cycle, SPC will--

1. Increase Persistence Rates — Improve fall-to-fall persistence for first-time in
college students.

2. Boost Sense of Belonging — Increase the percentage of students reporting “agree” or “strongly
agree” to belonging survey questions.

3. Expand Engagement with Support Services — Increase student participation in academic and student
support services.

4. Strengthen Academic Confidence — Improve student self-assessment scores
on study skills, time management, and goal-setting.
