How does the Commission determine what a schools outcomes are using the NACCAS Annual Report?
Since all schools are required to submit a NACCAS Annual Report, the Commission uses this process as a quantitative measure for all schools. More specifically, Section II of the NACCAS Annual Report is used to report course offerings, number of students enrolled, students scheduled to graduate, drop-outs, graduates placed, and licensing exam results. Based on the information submitted in the NACCAS Annual Report, the Commission can determine what a school’s completion, placement, and licensure pass/fail rates are for a particular year. Since the minimum rates for completion, placement, and licensure pass/fail statistics are part of the NACCAS Standards and Criteria, monitoring these rates through the NACCAS Annual Report is a uniform way to make sure that all schools remain in compliance with these outcomes statistics.
