If there is a discrepancy between the SACSCOC and an accrediting body, FDTC will subscribe to the higher qualification requested. FDTC also considers competence, effectiveness, and capacity, including, as appropriate, undergraduate and graduate degrees, related work experiences in the field, professional licensure and certifications, honors and awards, continuous documented excellence in teaching, or other demonstrated competencies and achievements that contribute to effective teaching and student learning outcomes
