Accreditation for Coastal The announcement of the forthcoming visit of an accreditation evaluation team to Coastal Carolina sent scores of rumors circulating throughout the campus about Coastal's accreditation. Articles in the Sun News and the Chanticleer appeared to eliminate any speculations about accreditation but many students were still concerned that their degrees from Coastal Carolina would not be valid. Dr, Singleton called a meeting on january Z9 in the Williams-Brice building to clarify the reasons for the evaluation team's visit and to assure all students that Coastal Carolina, as a part of the University of South Carolina, is fully accredited. He explained that Coastal Carolina was seeking full accreditation apart from USC to establish Coastal as a fully accredited college under its own merits without relying on the main campus. The evaluation team was generally pleased with Coastal. They were particularly impressed by the highly qualified, professional, and experienced backgrounds of the faculty. The recommendations of the team were about the Library, Student Affairs, and the lack of full-time medical personnel. In reply to these suggestions the Southern Association was assured that arrangements were being made to build a new Library sufficient to meet the necessary requirements. More counselors have been provided for the students and the Nursing instructors are available for emergencies, A meeting was set for October to discuss the arrangements.
