Course Catalog Software for SACSCOC Accredited Institutions

November 13, 2024

For institutions accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), having an accessible, compliant, and user-friendly course catalog is more than just a good practice; it's a requirement. SACSCOC-accredited institutions must adhere to high standards around transparency and accessibility in student-facing resources. For this reason, many SACSCOC institutions have chosen Clean Catalog software for publishing their course catalogs. Our software provides an intuitive, accessible platform that meets and exceeds SACSCOC requirements, making it the preferred choice for over 35 (and growing!) peer institutions.

Prioritizing Accessibility

Accessibility is a core value for SACSCOC and a requirement for all of its accredited schools. A course catalog that’s hard to navigate, isn’t mobile-friendly, or fails to meet accessibility standards can pose a challenge during accreditation reviews. Clean Catalog eliminates this concern with responsive, WCAG-compliant design features that work seamlessly on any device and any browser. Every catalog is designed with accessibility at the forefront, ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, can navigate and engage with the catalog. This is especially critical in a catalog publication, where students and faculty need to quickly locate information on degree requirements, course descriptions, and policy details. With Clean Catalog’s fast load speeds, responsive site designs, and easy navigation, institutions can be confident that they’re not only meeting SACSCOC standards but also delivering an inclusive, student-centered experience.

Streamlining Accreditation and Renewal

For SACSCOC-accredited institutions, accreditation renewals come around every ten years, though the requirements and expectations are ongoing. Clean Catalog supports the accreditation process by producing a catalog that meets all necessary documentation standards, helping schools to present information that’s clear, current, and compliant. Unlike traditional catalogs that require labor-intensive updates, Clean Catalog allows institutions to quickly and easily modify their content through a user-friendly backend. A built-in site audit tool helps your staff to quickly locate any missing information, broken links, or accessibility errors, making the preparation process run smoothly when applying for accreditation renewal. When updates are made, the changes are immediately reflected globally throughout the digital catalog and its PDF version. This means that the catalog is always up-to-date, ensuring that accreditation teams see only the most accurate information. When it’s time for an institution to apply for reaccreditation, Clean Catalog simplifies the documentation and content review processes, allowing institutions to focus more on core improvements and less on their catalog.

Colleges and universities trust Clean Catalog to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience for students, administrators, and accreditation bodies alike. Clean Catalog’s reputation for reliability and ease of use makes it a natural fit for institutions looking to streamline their digital catalogs.
