Navigating through this Site
On the main menu you will find three links labelled 2, 3, and 4 which will allow you to move into the Core Requirements, Comprehensive Standards, and Federal Mandates, respectively. On the main menu you will also find links to two indexes; each of these indexes contains links to all the supporting documents cited in the accreditation document, one listing them alphabetically, the other sequentially by section. Each page in this site has a link near the top right corner labeled "top." That link will return you to the main menu; from there you can drill down to a particular requirement, standard, or mandate or access the indexes. On the top right of each page of the accreditation documents you will also find links that will allow you to move sequentially through the document without needing to continually return to the main menu.

SACS reviewers will find the necessary password in the cover letter they received as part of their packet of materials.) In either case, to return to the accreditation document use the back button on your browser.
