Candidate for Accreditation applications may be submitted at any time during the twelve months following Candidate Academy attendance.

However, if an institution would like its application to be approved at a particular Commission meeting, the application must be submitted by the 2023 deadlines listed below.

  • JAN 26, 2023 (for the March 9-10, 2023 Commission meeting)
