Section 2-2-601 of the ACICS Accreditation Criteria governs changes of name. 

When requesting approval for a change of name, institutions must submit the following items:  

• A completed Change of Name Application form. (To download a copy of the form, please click here)
• Payment for the $300 application fee.
• Evidence of state recognition and/or final approval for the new name, such as an updated license or official approval letter.  Letters showing preliminary or conditional approval are generally not accepted. 
• A separate narrative explaining and justifying the change.

Please note that all of the above items must be received before ACICS will approve the change.
