This self-study Plan and Handbook was developed for the Coastal Carolina University community to help with the process of examining our athletics program, noting where we've been, addressing where we are, and exploring where we want to go. Self-evaluation is a continuous process aimed at continuous improvement. It is self-regulating and should be nurtured constantly. This second cycle of the Division I athletics certification program provides an opportunity to refocus our efforts for assessment and improvement. The final document, the Self-Study Report, will be a reflection of the pride we take as members of the Coastal Carolina University community.
