Content
Please reply in detail to each concern of the Commission, providing supporting documentation where applicable. In most cases, it is appropriate to copy each issue cited and provide the response directly beneath it.
Deadline
Hard copies of requisite materials must reach the ACCPAS National Office no later than November 15 for consideration at the January Commission meeting.
PLEASE NOTE: Failure to submit Commission-requested information by the deadline noted in your institution’s Commission Action Report will cause the Commission to review the institution for lack of reply. For institutions wishing to submit Commission-requested material early, prior to a stated deadline, failure to meet a deadline noted above will not ensure an early review.
