Programs received an invoice for Annual Accreditation Fees and Annual Satellite Fees in the amount of $1,400 during the week of May 4. This invoice came from Ruth Crump (
[email protected]).
If you have not received an invoice, first, check your spam folder to see if the invoice ended up there; if not, notify Ruth:
[email protected], so that she can email it to you immediately.
The due date for the invoice is July 1. This applies to ALL programs that either hold accreditation, the Letter of Review, or are working toward the LoR.
To avoid additional processing fees, payment is due on or before July 31.
NOTE: An Additional Processing Fee invoice of $500 will be sent the first week in August for past due Annual Accreditation Fees and Annual Satellite Fees.
If your program requires that a Purchase Order appear on the invoice, email this request immediately to
[email protected].

Response to Findings Letter & Progress Reports Due June 1
|
..........................................................................
Staff Contact: Karen Franks,
[email protected] or
214-703-8445, x111
..........................................................................
Do you have a progress report due June 1? Have you recently hosted a site visit and
have a response to the site visit findings due June 1? Be sure to submit it as a
single PDF document to Karen (
[email protected]) on or before June 1 to prevent a recommendation for probation or a withhold of accreditation.
The CoAEMSP staff is charged with reviewing the accreditation records of 70 programs. That means the documentation you have submitted for ONE program is multiplied by 70 for the staff! The staff person receiving the 70 programs' submissions must collate it for dissemination to the Board. This is a huge task, and we need to be sure we are as efficient and accurate as possible.
To ensure ALL of the documentation is received and reviewed, programs MUST:
- submit a single PDF document
- submit documentation on time
- NOT submit embedded documents
- NOT submit external links
Failure to submit the document as a
single PDF document or eliminate all links and embedded files will delay the review of the program's accreditation record.
The CoAEMSP Board has found it necessary to take a hard stance on reports submitted after the deadline, in multiple files, or in the wrong format. When reports or responses are not submitted according to the above requirements, they will be considered as "not received" and the Board will NOT review the material.
