The Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) is a professional association dedicated to comprehensive, integrated planning in higher education institutions. It is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with an affiliation to the School of Education at the University of Michigan. Currently, SCUP has 5,000 members in 24 countries worldwide.
The mission of SCUP is to be a community dedicated to providing its members with the knowledge and resources to establish and achieve institutional planning goals within the context of best practices in institutional planning.
Academic planning is the heart of successful, integrated endeavors on campus. Academic planning should be integrated with budget/resource planning and facilities/infrastructure planning to be most effective. Integrating these three key planning areas will help institutions to develop a vibrant learning environment and excellence across the academic enterprise.
