The Standards of Accreditation
The Standards of Accreditation describes the accreditation process and sets forth the base of essentials (i.e., standards of best practice) against which a school studies and evaluates itself. Each school determines its own educational objectives, keeping in mind, however, that such objectives must be appropriate for a postsecondary-educational institution and serve to support the success of students.
In addition, ACCSC endorses the concept of academic freedom that supports faculty members’ privilege to function as scholars in the interpretation and application of theories and ideas within the context of an institution’s mission, policies, and procedures. Ultimately, ACCSC evaluates a school based on the school’s ability to accomplish its announced objectives, in accordance with the Commission’s standards.
Over the period of July 1, 2010 through July 1, 2011, the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (“ACCSC”) made several revisions to the Standards of Accreditation. In order to ensure that accredited institutions have complete and up-to-date knowledge of the Commission’s current requirements, a revised version of the ACCSC Standards of Accreditation dated July 1, 2011 is now available.
