Must programs that are working towards reaccreditation submit the Annual Report on the fourth anniversary of their accreditation?
Unless a program chooses a Candidacy due date earlier than is indicated in the timeline for currently accredited programs, it is still required to submit an Annual Report on its program’s fourth anniversary of accreditation. The Candidacy Materials for reaccreditation are accepted in lieu of the Annual Report for a program’s fourth anniversary of accreditation if they are submitted before or during a program’s fourth anniversary Annual Report submission window. Because fees are amortized over a program’s 5-year term of accreditation, the Annual Report fee is NOT waived and must be submitted within the Annual Report submission window in addition to the Candidacy fee due upon submission of the Candidacy Materials. Programs that wish to submit the Candidacy Materials for reaccreditation in lieu of the fourth anniversary Annual Report should contact Accreditation Program Support if they wish to exercise this option.
