FDTC reaffirmed for accreditation through 2036
Florence-Darlington Technical College (FDTC) is proud to announce that it has officially been reaffirmed for accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) through 2036.
Reaffirmation by SACSCOC is a significant milestone that recognizes an institution's commitment to academic quality, institutional effectiveness, and continuous improvement. The reaffirmation process is a comprehensive review that evaluates every aspect of a college's operations to ensure it meets the Commission's rigorous standards for higher education.
"This reaffirmation is a tremendous accomplishment for our college and a reflection of the dedication and hard work of our faculty, staff, and administrators," Interim FDTC President Dr. Debbie Cheek said. "Over the past several years, our employees have worked collaboratively to demonstrate our commitment to excellence and to ensuring that our students receive the highest quality education and support services. This achievement belongs to the entire FDTC family."
The successful reaffirmation ensures that FDTC remains accredited through SACSCOC, providing continued assurance to students, employers, and the community that the college meets nationally recognized standards of quality. Accreditation also allows eligible students to continue accessing federal financial aid and supports the transferability and recognition of academic credentials.
While reaffirmation marks the successful completion of a multi-year effort, the college views it as another step in FDTC's ongoing commitment to continuous improvement.
"As we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on our mission of transforming lives through education," Dr. Cheek said. "We will continue building on this success by seeking new opportunities to serve our students, strengthen our programs, and support the workforce needs of our region."
The reaffirmation reflects FDTC's continued commitment to academic excellence, student success, and serving the Pee Dee region through accessible, high-quality education and workforce training.
