Quality Enhancement Plan
"Guiding Gators Using Enhanced Advising and Communication Practices"
NTCC is accredited through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commision on Colleges (SACSCOC). A vital part of the reaffirmation process requires the college to develop and implement a five-year Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) to demonstrate the college's commitment to student success and learning.
NTCC's QEP focuses on enhanced advising and communication to support student success, retention, and completion.
The QEP, titled "Guiding Gators Using Enhanced Advising and Communication Practices," employs three interventions to create a cohesive first-year experience focused on advising and communication.
On September 9, 2024, NTCC submitted it Quality Enhancement Plan Proposal titled "Guiding Gators Using Enhanced Advising and Communication Practices."
