This practice engages the enormous wealth of talent in The Registry for assistance related to accreditation, regional or professional.  Establishing new accreditation status or reaffirming established accreditation status, our Registry consultants can be invaluable in bring their expertise and experience to advise and add capacity.

REGIONAL ACCREDITATION

Regional accreditation, essential for an institution of higher education, is becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain due to pressures inside and outside of the higher education sector. 

While the self-reflection required for reaccreditation contributes to the strength of the working culture of an institution, reaccreditation is an enormous project consuming countless hours and valuable human resources.  Many institutions are challenged by the enormity of this effort. 

Registry Advisory Services can provide consultants from diverse backgrounds and a wide area of expertise to help an institution with expert and informed advice to add useful counsel and expanded capacity to its accreditation related activities.

PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATION

Making academic programs more rigorous, more distinctive and more appealing in the marketplace is often aided by these programs having professional accreditations such as but not limited to; ABET, ACEN and CCNE, AACSB and ACBSP, CAEP, and ATS. 

Our Registry membership are uniquely positioned to be helpful in this area due to their years of experience working as chairs or members of outside review teams as well as their experience in securing accreditation for their own academic programs.

MODES OF OPERATION

Accreditation consulting for colleges and universities can be customized to the specific needs of the institution. 

• Individual consultants can be deployed in an advisory role to review strategy, to provide editorial advice for the design of the process and documents that have been created.
• Teams of consultants can be deployed in a similar manner as those typically assembled for visiting outside review teams. The advantage brought here is again the wealth of talent and diverse experiences/expertise of our Registry members. 
• The teams can look at an institution’s strengths and challenges from every angle to better position the institution for a successful outcome.
• These individuals and teams can be engaged by the college or university for the initial efforts of institutions seeking accreditation or engaged in the reaffirmation or periodic review processes.
