The Systems Portfolio describes SAU’s fundamental institutional systems. The report covers the AQIP categories, describing context, processes, results and improvement in each system, and shows evidence that SAU continues to meet the Higher Learning Commission’s five criteria for accreditation. SAU’s portfolio is continually updated to reflect changes in our systems and processes. The portfolio is a valuable resource, both internally and for the University’s external audiences, including accrediting organizations, state higher education agencies, prospective employees, and other stakeholders.
Southern Arkansas University recently submitted its second Systems Portfolio in 2017. This Systems Portfolio is in the new six category format adopted by the Higher Learning Commission.
