CAAHEP's Policy Bulletin that went out yesterday seems to have caused some confusion (and angst) among a few of the recipients because it did not do a very good job of explaining what the "New Policy" meant.
For this we apologize. The Board action did not change anything about the CAAHEP Institutional Fee. As has always been the case, every institution that sponsors one or more CAAHEP-accredited programs pays an annual institutional fee (this fee remains the same whether an institution has one CAAHEP-accredited program or several - it is NOT a per program fee). For the past four years that fee has been set at $550. What the Board approved was a $50 increase (less than 10%) in order to keep up with increasing costs. So beginning with the 2020-21 fiscal year, the Institutional Fee will be $600.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
