The QEPDC is responsible for developing a Quality Enhancement Plan for FGCU that will meet the following criteria:

1. demonstrates institutional capability for the initiation, implementation, and completion of the QEP;
   
   
2. includes broad-based involvement of institutional constituencies in the development and proposed implementation of the QEP; and
   
   
3. identifies goals and a plan to assess their achievement.

The QEPDC may organize its work in any way necessary to achieve these goals. It should periodically inform the campus community of its progress, solicit its input, and devise a timeline that will ensure compliance with the submission date set by the Commission on Colleges of SACS.
