What is the status of the recognition of the Commission on Opticianry Accreditation by the Council on Higher Education (CHEA)?
• At its meeting on January 26, 2009, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) Board of Directors reviewed the recommendation of the CHEA Committee on Recognition regarding the eligibility application submitted by Commission on Opticianry Accreditation (COA). The board of directors determined that the COA is considered eligible to undertake a recognition review. COA will complete a self-evaluation providing evidence that it meets the 2006 CHEA recognition standards. The CHEA Committee on Recognition will review the self-evaluation, the observation visit report, oral presentation by the COA and any third party comment at its November 23 2009 meeting and make a recommendation to the CHEA Board of Directors. The CHEA Board of Directors will make the final determination of recognition status. Until that action, the committees recommendation is an interim determination only.
