Procedure
Colleges of veterinary medicine are evaluated by the Council on the basis of compliance with the standards as each relates to the mission of the college.
The Council bases its decision on compliance with the findings related to the particular standard, and not on impressions of the overall college program. Information on which standards are evaluated includes the College self-study report and the findings of a site visit team.
It is recognized that assessment of compliance with a standard may change between the submission of the self-study, the site visit, and when the full Council makes its final determination. There must be a specific time frame in which the facts and data are considered and an accreditation decision is made. Failure to function within these parameters prohibits effective accreditation decisions. Procedures exist to provide a timely reevaluation by the Council at the request of a College that believes identified deficiencies have been corrected.
