LEXINGTON, Va., June 19, 2017 鈥� The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools 鈥� Commission on Colleges has reaffirmed VMI鈥檚 accreditation for the next 10 years.

SACSCOC is the regional accrediting body for colleges in the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

鈥淲e were formally informed ... that we met all requirements for reaffirmation with the highest standard being met.  In sum, a 鈥榗lose out鈥� report with no comments and no requirements,鈥� said Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III 鈥�62, VMI鈥檚 superintendent. 鈥淔rankly, an institution could not do better. This accomplishment speaks volumes about the talent, efficacy, and dedication of VMI鈥檚 faculty, staff, and cadets.鈥�

As part of the comprehensive reaffirmation process, VMI submitted a compliance certification, a focused report, a, and a response report in March 2016. The documentation was returned with a 鈥渧ery favorable鈥� verdict with a few non-compliance findings.

VMI submitted a focused report along with its Quality Enhancement Plan in September 2016 which was the focus of a committee that visited post a few weeks later. The Institute received a positive review from the committee with a few recommendations.

After another following report was approved, the SACSCOC Board of Trustees reaffirmed VMI鈥檚 accreditation. VMI鈥檚 next major report to SACS will be a fifth-year report due in 2021.

The Institute was first accredited in 1926 by the regional body. As of January, 794 colleges are accredited by the SACS.
