Academic Enhancement at the University of South Alabama leads special initiatives, like the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), to improve student learning and student success. We collaboratively plan, implement, and evaluate the QEP, and we provide ongoing support for institutional planning and evaluation and for SACSCOC accreditation. We are excited to launch our LevelUP: Uniquely Prepared for What Comes Next QEP this year.
