After an extensive development and review process, including open discussions at the ARC (Academic Resource Conference), a working group of institutional representatives, and written feedback from the region, the Commission approved a new process for reaffirmation of accreditation called the Thematic Pathway for Reaffirmation.
This new pathway is as rigorous as the current institutional review process, but the timeline is streamlined and the institution can focus on self-selected themes, in addition to demonstrating compliance with the Standards.
