New Endorsement Policy Adopted

The Board adopted the following endorsement policy at the January 2004 meeting:

As of July 1, 2005, the accreditation status and dates thereof will be made public once the institution has been notified. The information to be made public will consist of the name and address of the institution, the program(s) included in the accreditation process, the current accreditation status and the dates thereof. The steps to be reported in the accreditation process are 1) application in process, 2) application voluntarily withdrawn, and 3) accreditation decisions. The decisions shall be reported as accredited (through a specific date), accreditation voluntarily withdrawn, or accreditation denied. The accreditation status will be made public through CACREP's website, newsletter, or other publications, and upon direct request. The denials and withdrawals will remain posted to the web for a period of six months.
