How are decisions made about an institution’s accreditation status?
Accreditation is not for a specific period of time but is a continuing relationship that is subject to periodic review. Institutions provide information to the Commission annually and at other intervals depending on the circumstances. Comprehensive evaluations, including site visits by a team of peer evaluators, take place at least every ten years. The Commission holds two meetings per year to review institutional reports and reports of peer evaluation teams. The Standards guide all decisions. For more information, see Process of Accreditation.
