Clinical Postgraduate Accreditation Statuses
****Accreditation-Clinical Postgraduate Program (Provisional)
is an accreditation status first awarded when the plans and resources allocation, if fully implemented as planned, appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Clinical Postgraduate Standards.
****Accreditation-Clinical Postgraduate Program (Continued)
is granted 1) when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Clinical Postgraduate Standards, 2) in the case of a program holding Accreditation-Probation when the program has demonstrated that it is once again in compliance with the ARC-PA Clinical Postgraduate Standards, or 3) when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional demonstrates compliance with the ARC-PA Clinical Postgraduate Standards after completion of the provisional review process. Accreditation-continued status remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the ARC-PA Clinical Postgraduate Standards.
***Accreditation-Administrative Probation
is a temporary status granted when a program has not complied with an administrative requirement, such as failure to pay fees or submit required reports. Once placed on Administrative Probation, a program that fails to comply with administrative requirements in a timely manner, as specified by the ARC-PA, may be scheduled for a focused site visit and/or risk having its accreditation withdrawn.
(D) indicates that accreditation incorporates one or more distant campuses
(F) indicates that a program may have a focused visit prior to its next ARC-PA review
# indicates that a program was closed for a period of time since being first accredited.
Pending Final Review indicates the program has completed preliminary evaluation at a commission meeting and is awaiting a final assessment to determine accreditation status.
