Granting or Denying Accreditation

The AAHRPP Board of Directors retains the ultimate authority to review all Step 1 and 2 applications, Draft Site Visit Reports, responses to Draft Site Visit Reports, and evaluations, and to determine the accreditation status of an Organization, subject to the Organization’s right to appeal otherwise provided for in these Procedures. 

 

The Board of Directors delegates to the Council on Accreditation the role, responsibilities, and authorities to facilitate the efficient operation of the accreditation program. The Council on Accreditation, comprised of experienced site visitors, reviews all application materials (applications, Draft Site Visit Reports, responses to Draft Site Visit Reports, and evaluations) and makes a determination regarding accreditation status. The Council on Accreditation generally meets four times per year.
