The costs for evaluation and site visits for US and Canadian colleges of veterinary medicine are shared by those colleges and the AVMA, except for requests for reasonable assurance status from proposed new colleges, colleges with provisional accreditation status, and when a site visit is made at the request of a college for consulting on program development not directly related to an accreditation decision. In these circumstances the college pays all costs. Beginning in 2006, each US and Canadian college pays the AVMA $10,000 (US) every seven years, the period coinciding with the normal site visit and accreditation cycle for that college. The College remits the funds to the AVMA 60 days prior to the regularly scheduled site visit. Failure to pay the fees in a timely manner may result in withholding accreditation. Site visit team members are reimbursed for their expenses but no honorariums are paid.
The accreditation procedure available to colleges of veterinary medicine outside the United States and Canada requires that the expenses of and a fee for the site visit be paid by the college.
Travel expenses should be submitted to the AVMA Education and Research Division staff immediately after travel is completed. If expenses are not submitted within 45 days from the end of travel, the AVMA will not reimburse the member for that travel. |
