UNA's most recent Compliance Certification Report was presented to SACSCOC in 2011. The Off-Site Committee requested additional information on several of the SACSCOC standards.  UNA provided this supplemental information through a Focused Report that was reviewed by a SACSCOC On-Site Review Committee in February 2012.  UNA responded to new standards that were approved during the SACSCOC December 2011 Annual Meeting and incorporated into the 2012 edition of the Principles by submitting an additional report, Assessment of Compliance with new Principles of Accreditation 2012, which was also reviewed by the On-Site Committee.

The SACSCOC On-Site Review Committee deemed the University to be in compliance with all of the standards and did not issue any recommendations.  In December 2012, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges reaffirmed UNA's accreditation.
