The University of Louisville is a state supported research university located in Kentucky's largest metropolitan area. It was a municipally supported public institution for many decades prior to joining the university system in 1970. The University of Louisville is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges (SACS). The university was initially accredited by SACS in 1915 and was reviewed and reaffirmed last in 2007.

The work of evaluating and documenting the university's compliance with the SACS Principles of Accreditation requires a significant on-going, commitment on the part of faculty, staff, and students at the university. The accreditation process is critical to the University and we are committed to ensuring that the materials submitted represent our best effort.

The preparation of the 5th year Interim Report will be a significant update to the 2007 accreditation report. The interim report is a new reporting requirement implemented by SACS. The university’s 2007 report needed the widespread participation in the accreditation process, and teams were formed from all college constituencies – students, faculty, staff and administrators when the Compliance Certification and Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) were written from 2005-2007. Now, a team with more limited membership (but maintaining representation from the constituencies) has been convened to help prepare the 5th year Interim Report. This report must be submitted to SACS by March 15, 2013.

This web site is designed to facilitate the dissemination to all constituencies of information concerning UofL’s accreditation reporting process. The university community is invited to participate in the collegial interaction that is an integral part of the accreditation process.
