Evaluation Visit Information

In preparation for an on-site evaluation visit, an institution must collect additional information not included in the self-study or update information submitted to the team members. This information, such as faculty and staff files and meeting minutes, must be available in the team's work room. ACICS provides institutions with a list of these materials that varies depending on the type of evaluation visit.

In addition, after a visit has been conducted, ACICS asks each institution to prepare an evaluation of the visiting team. This information is important in measuring the effectiveness of the evaluation teams. This information is held in confidence and has no bearing on any decision by the Council. Finally, ACICS provides institutions with assistance in preparing a response to the Council. The response must be professional and organized and provide details of changes made to correct areas of noncompliance from the team report.
