Hey, students! Southeast needs your help! We are proud to be an accredited community college here to help you meet your education and career goals. 

Our accreditation to award associate degrees comes from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), and it is an important part of who we are as a college. As part of our accreditation process, we create a Quality Enhancement Plan to foster student success. It is possible you participated in our first survey. We now need your help in narrowing down the topic. Please complete the survey below to provide us with input about what you would like to see as our next QEP topic by Friday, September 20, 2024. Thank you!

QEP Topic Follow-up Survey

Based on the definitions associated with each QEP topic, please vote for the topic that you feel can best contribute to your current college and future career success. Then, please comment on why you chose that topic. We want to fully understand what students are thinking.

  1. Select Only One by Circling Your Selection below.
    1. Digital Literacy/Fluency: Broadly, digital literacy is an individual's ability to find, evaluate, and communicate information by typing or using digital media platforms. It is a combination of both technical and cognitive abilities in using information and communication technologies to create, evaluate, and share information.
    2. Career Development: Career development examines specifically at the role that ever-changing technology plays in the job market and how that impacts on how our students learn and what they should be learning.
    3. Revamping FYE 105: FYE 105 is the first-year experience course for all incoming first-year students. Revamping the course would entail looking at curriculum, college policies, college procedures and the like.
    4. Financial Literacy: Financial literacy is the ability to understand and make informed money decisions. This includes information about spending, saving, and investing, budgeting, building credit, borrowing money, and repaying debt.
    5. Online Readiness/Online Learning: Online learning readiness refers to an individual's ability and willingness to participate and succeed in an online learning environment. It is fundamental to student successful participation, presence, and interaction in online courses.
