In addition, a Commission may elect to publish and disseminate information regarding the next date of review of an accredited or candidate institution.
After each meeting of the Board of Trustees, the following information is released by the Association to the public news media:
- actions taken by the Association granting candidacy for accreditation or initial accreditation
- adverse actions (i.e., denial of candidacy for accreditation, termination of candidacy for accreditation, denial of accreditation, placement on probation or termination of accreditation) taken by the Association after the right of appeal has been exhausted.
