Updates
Based on feedback from programs and teams in 2020, NAAB has updated the “NAAB Guidelines for the Use of Digital Content in Accreditation Visits,” effective December 1, 2020. The update clarifies how the SPC Matrix is utilized in the “Course Folders” file organization method. This change only impacts programs with accreditation visits in 2021 that are using the 2014 Conditions and 2015 Procedures.
Congratulations to the first cohort of programs that hosted virtual accreditation site visits in 2020! We appreciate the hard work of the teams and programs that made this possible.

NAAB is collecting feedback from programs and teams to learn about their experience to inform future virtual site visits. For any questions regarding virtual site visits, please contact our team at accreditation@naab.org.
Happy Holidays from NAAB!
Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!
