The re-accreditation process begins at the application step when
an accredited provider has successfully completed the annual
renewals.
Because providers demonstrate growth, commitment to the quality
standards, and continuous improvement through the annual
renewals, providers are not required to enroll in self-study as
long as their accreditation application is complete before their
accreditation expires.
The re-accreditation process begins at
self-study enrollment if annual renewals
were not completed, accreditation has expired, or if a provider
chooses to enroll in self study.
How to Apply for
Re-accreditation
Re-accreditation information is mailed with the 2nd year annual
renewal seal. To maintain accreditation status, the
provider must apply before the accreditation expires.
Providers seeking re-accreditation are
encouraged to complete the process in a timely manner so there
is no gap in accreditation and a constant, easy to anticipate,
re-accreditation date is maintained. Re-accreditation will
begin on the previous accreditation expiration date if the
decision is made within 45 days prior to or after the original
expiration date. Please
note the following time lines when planning to submit the
accreditation application.
