Navigation
 

Piedmont Technical College has provided three ways to navigate its Compliance Certification reports.

 

Method 1: Table of Contents
A linked Table of Contents page appears when you click on the Compliance Certification link on the SACS Portal Page. You may use this page to navigate to the report of your choice. To return to the Table of Contents at any time, simply click on the Table of Contents link in the left menu of any report page.

 

Method 2: Folder Menu
A folder menu is also provided to help you navigate the Compliance Certification reports by section. This menu will always be visible in the left menu on any report page. By clicking on the "+" beside a folder, you can open that folder to access links to individual reports.

 

Method 3: Previous & Next Links
For your convenience, we have also added "previous" and "next" links at the top of each report to help you move through the Compliance Certification in sequential order.

 

Note on ActiveX Control: If a warning message appears that is similar to the one below, please click on the bar with the warning message and select Allow Blocked Content. This will allow the Web Site to function properly.

Accessing Files

 

For ease of use, Piedmont Technical College has attempted to limit the file types used in the Compliance Certification report; however, you may need to download the following free plug-in files to access certain documentation.

 

 

Supporting documentation for each report is provided twice. You will find superscripted, hyperlinked numerals within narrative texts that will take you to supporting documents as you read. You will find these same documents listed at the end of the narrative with the same numeral that was used in the preceding text.

 

Finally, an A to Z Document Index has been created to help you find most of the documents that have been referenced. You will find the link to the Document Index within the folder menu on any report page.

 

If you encounter problems opening the supporting documents in a new window, please disable your popup blockers.

Terms and Definitions

During the past few years our state system has undergone a name change, and while the change was officially approved on a specific date, there are many references to both titles in the various documents presented for evidence.  The same is true for certain positions and divisions at the college.  Changes had occurred, but there are still references to the old titles. 
 
  • Please accept the following titles as one and the same wherever referenced within the report:
  • State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education (SBTCE) & South Carolina Technical College System (SCTCS)
  • General Education Division & College Transfer Division
  • Student Development Division & Student Services Division
  • Department Head & Department Chair
