Accreditation Decisions

ACEND® regularly posts decisions on accreditation actions, including:

  • Full or Continued Accreditation with a Reduced Accreditation Term — program is partially or non-complaint with at least one standard and has been given a time period for coming into compliance
  • Probationary Accreditation — program fails to comply with the Accreditation Standards or published policies and has been given a time period for coming into compliance
