ACCSCT Accreditation Alerts
The Commission has the authority and responsibility to establish and promulgate criteria for the evaluation and accreditation of private career schools and colleges. These criteria take the form of the Standards of Accreditation which are under continuing review. Revisions to the Standards of Accreditation are made by the Commission as appropriate and required.
The ACCSCT Accreditation Alert provides guidance to accredited schools regarding the adoption of additions and revisions to the Standards of Accreditation and reflects the Commission’s final adoption of additions and revisions to the Standards of Accreditation.
When new standards are adopted, the Commission sets the date the standards will become effective, providing a reasonable time for school compliance, announces adopted standards and takes the action necessary for their implementation. The effective date and procedures for implementation, if required, are included in the announcement. Information on new standards is published and mailed to persons, institutions and organizations affected by or with an interest in the standards.
