What is the beginning date of accreditation?
All WASC accreditation terms begin on July 1 and expire on June 30. Most schools operate on a fiscal calendar that begins on July 1 and ends June 30. Because of the need for schools to be accredited for full academic years (which normally parallel fiscal years), the Commission grants terms of accreditation that coincide with the fiscal and academic calendars. WASC accreditation is retroactive to cover the entire school year for the first year a school is accredited.
