The Accreditation Commission requires reviews at certain times within a cycle of a twelve month period. Regional Accreditation Chairs are involved in these reviews.
The Commission acts on:
Annual Reports at its Spring Meeting,
Five Year Reviews at its Fall Meeting,
Ten Year Reviews and Requests for Accredited Member Status at each meeting, and,
Other business as required at each meeting.
Other final actions are associated with the date of request and time of visit:
A Center in Ten Year Review submits material 30 Days before a visit.
A Site Team Chair has 14 days after a visit to provide Site Visit Report—Part I
The applicant/center provides the team and Reviewer a written response within 30 days.
Within 14 days, the site team provides the Accreditation Commission Chair with all material plus Site Visit Report—Part II Final Recommendations.
The Accreditation Commission Chair assigns a Commission reviewer.
The Commission reviewer writes and provides a report to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting and ensures that all review materials are available at the meeting for reference or review as needed by the entire Commission.
