Capacity and Preparatory Review

The Capacity and Preparatory Review is designed to enable the Commission to determine whether an institution fulfills the Core Commitment to Institutional Capacity: The institution functions with clear purposes, high levels of institutional integrity, fiscal stability, and organizational structures and processes to fulfill its purposes. In keeping with the Commission's goals of focusing institutional efforts in the accreditation process on issues of importance, building a culture of evidence, reducing the burden of the accreditation review and enhancing the strategic value of the process, the Preparatory Review is intended to be a focused review which includes a site visit with clearly defined purposes and procedures.
