Walters State Quality Enhancement Plan Vision:
Walters State Community College’s Quality Enhancement Plan aims to improve the academic advising process to promote student success through the following ways: creating professional development trainings and utilizing technology that transforms the advising community, helping students become connected and engaged with campus resources, and instilling students with a sense of individual responsibility that will foster academic success.
A Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a significant part of SACSCOC reaffirmation for accreditation. It is a college-wide project that aims to improve student learning and/or the environment that supports student learning.
Everyone is involved in this process! If you have any questions, please email the QEP Development Team at qepFREEWS.

This topic includes:

In order to have the greatest impact, the QEP must:

- Align with Walters State's mission and vision, campus compact, and strategic plan.
