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

26. Decisions of Other Accrediting Agencies

Conditions could exist within an institution where compliance with a standard for accreditation or reasonable assurance may change to non-compliance, due to action of another agency. If any of the following conditions are confirmed, the Council will notify the institution in writing, within 30 days of confirmation, that accreditation will not be renewed based upon an unfavorable outcome wherein:

  1. An institution is subject to an interim action by a recognized institutional accrediting agency which could lead to suspension, revocation, or termination of accreditation or reasonable assurance.
  2. An institution is subject to an interim action by a recognized state agency which could lead to suspension, revocation, or termination of accreditation or reasonable assurance.
  3. An institution has been notified of a threatened loss of accreditation and due process procedure is not complete.
  4. An institution has been notified of a threatened suspension, revocation, or termination by the State of the institution's legal authority to provide postsecondary education and the due process procedure is not complete.

    The COE monitors programs throughout the accreditation cycle via annual reports, third party comment, and focused site visits. The Council will respond to any program not meeting the standards, even if the parent institution or program is involved in litigation.
