Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges

TWU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Decatur Lane. Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, 404-679-4500) to award baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees. 

Every ten years each accredited institution undergoes intensive off-site and on-site reviews to maintain its accreditation.    TWU was re-accredited in 2003 and is scheduled for re-accreditation in 2013.  Annually TWU prepares and submits an updated Institutional Profile and financial report. Midway between accreditations the university is also required to prepare an abbreviated compliance report entitled the Five Year Interim Report.  In addition, if the university makes certain substantive changes, it must notify or receive prior approval from SACS.  In some instances prior approval will be granted only after a site visit.  Information about accrediting standards and details of all of these reporting and review requirements are available on the SACS website.
