Faculty Credentialing

The Faculty Credentialing Process ensures that all faculty members meet institutional, state, and accreditation requirements, particularly those outlined by SACSCOC (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges). Proper credentialing verifies that faculty qualifications align with the courses they teach, ensuring academic excellence, compliance, and integrity.

This section provides comprehensive educational materials, including:

  • Step-by-step guides on completing credentialing documentation.
  • Instructional videos to navigate processes efficiently.
  • Downloadable forms required for faculty accreditation.

By streamlining credentialing procedures, TAMU-CC supports quality assurance in education while simplifying administrative processes for faculty and staff.

We are continuously developing additional educational materials to further support university activities and compliance efforts. If you have any questions or specific requests for additional resources, please do not hesitate to contact me:
