Registration to apply for accreditation in rounds 1 and 2 of 2010 will open on August 4, 2009 at 1:00pm Eastern (12:00pm Central, 11:00am Mountain, 10:00am Pacific). This is a required first step in the accreditation application process. There are two application rounds: the first round has an application due date of April 13 (pre-application due February 2); the second round has an application due date of July 15 (pre-application due May 6). Slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We have made important changes to the program requirements, shifting some requirements to the registration and pre-application stages in order to help foster successful applications. If you are considering applying for accreditation in 2010 now is the time to start preparing and acquainting yourself with the new registration requirements (see last page of registration fact sheet or the June 2009 edition of the Applicant Handbook). For example, make sure you have completed your assessment and that you have adopted all the required policies.

The Commission seeks a review manager to lead the accreditation application review process and serve as the primary evaluator of applications for accreditation.

The Commission seeks a temporary program associate to provide program and administrative support for the accreditation program.
