Accreditation is awarded to a fully operational graduate education program that is in compliance with the Standards. The CAA awards initial accreditation for a maximum of 5 years, subject to annual review. The CAA awards reaccreditation for a maximum of 8 years, subject to annual review. A statement of concerns may accompany the letter awarding accreditation to assist the program in conducting self-evaluation prior to the first annual report. Renewal of accreditation is dependent upon payment of annual accreditation fees.
