Accreditation Policies and Procedures of the AVMA Council on Education (COE)
Revised April 2008

25. Adverse Decisions

Reasons for Adverse Decisions
The Council is aware of the consequences of lowering accreditation status, including loss of accreditation or denial of reasonable assurance status, and considers these matters seriously. However, there are situations wherein a college that is non-compliant could harm students enrolled in the program and/or the public. Each situation which could result in adverse action by the Council will be considered individually.
 
Adverse action will be taken against a college that:
  1. Fails to meet the standards for accreditation, and serious weaknesses and deficiencies exist and are identified during the site visit.

  2. Fails to meet the standards of accreditation and the weaknesses and deficiencies are so encompassing or major that it appears a college will be unable to correct the deficiencies prior to admission of the next first-year class.
