The University of Texas Rio Grade Valley has announced to its faculty, staff and student body that Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges today has removed the university from probationary status based on UTRGV's successfully addressing the lone concern cited on a probationary letter of February 5, 2018.

UTRGV President Guy Bailey wrote that the SACSCOC had written after its 2017 annual meeting that the university had successfully addressed all concerns cited in the probationary letter of January 11 2017.

"I want to take this opportunity to thank the many staff members who have worked tirelessly on behalf of the UTRGV. We prepared diligently for the October 2018 Special Committee visit and deeply appreciate the hard work and support from all of you throughout the year....

"The UTRGV community is focused on the reaffirmation report, which will be submitted on September 1, 2019, as part of the normal accreditation review process all SACSCOC institutions undergo every 10 years...

"As part of our reaffirmation process, we are actively engaged in the development of our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The QEP provides provides an opportunity for the campus to develop or strengthen initiatives that support the achievement of student learning outcomes and student success.
