Evidence that's organized long before the site team arrives.
Most accreditation crunches aren't a data problem. They're a filing problem. We build every system around your institution's specific structure and standards; no two look alike. In more than 25 years supporting accreditation, we've never been part of an unsuccessful site visit.
Four areas we own end to end
An individualized system, not a template
No two institutions run the same programs, standards, or governance structure, so no two MCG systems look alike. We design each build around how your departments actually work: a homegrown alternative that costs a fraction of canned, commercial assessment platforms.
Learning outcomes & assessment tracking
A shared system for departments to log outcomes, rubrics, and results each term, replacing scattered spreadsheets with one source of truth your assessment office can actually query.
Evidence libraries
A structured, tagged repository of syllabi, rubrics, meeting minutes, and outcomes data mapped directly to accreditor standards, so pulling evidence for a report is a search, not a scavenger hunt.
Regional & programmatic accreditor support
Experience with SACSCOC, HLC, MSCHE, and WSCUC reviews, plus programmatic bodies: we know what reviewers look for and how the standards map to your existing data.
Site-visit & monitoring report prep
From mock interviews to the compliance certification itself, plus the follow-up monitoring reports most institutions underestimate.
- Self-Study: outcomes & evidence compiled
- Site Visit: review team on campus
- Decision: accreditor action issued
- Monitoring: follow-up reporting
What institutions typically see
- A system designed around their institution, not a shared template
- Evidence requests fulfilled in hours, not weeks
- Outcomes reported on a consistent term-by-term cadence
- A self-study draft built from live data, not year-end scrambling
- Monitoring reports filed without reopening the whole project
Presenting our approach nationally
"Rich Ideas and a Shoestring Budget: Developing a Homegrown Assessment System for Key College, State and Institutional Outcomes"
MCG was invited to present because our homegrown assessment system gives institutions a low-cost, individualized alternative to expensive, one-size-fits-all commercial platforms, proving effective outcomes tracking doesn't require a large software budget.
How an engagement begins
1. Standards mapping
We map your accreditor's standards to what you already collect, and flag the real gaps.
2. System build-out
We configure the assessment and evidence system with your departments, on your timeline to the next review.
3. Cycle support
Ongoing data collection support through self-study, site visit, and every monitoring report after.

The earlier we start, the less scrambling there is the month before the team arrives.
