Under NCATE’s performance-based accreditation system, the unit must meet each of the six standards in order to be accredited. Units that do not meet all standards are granted accreditation with conditions or probation (see Accreditation Decisions). To assist the UAB in making these decisions, the BOE will now make recommendations as to whether the standards have been met. If accreditation is continued, the next on-site visit is scheduled five or seven years after the semester of the visit, depending on the agreement with the state in which the institution is located. This section includes the following information to assist institutions in preparing for continuing accreditation visits.
