Interim Report

The CVTEA may require submission of an interim report from any accredited program. Determination of the need for an interim report is made by the CVTEA after review of the program's Report of Evaluation or annual/biennial report. The CVTEA will specify areas of special concern and a due date for the interim report. In preparing the interim report, program personnel should focus on the particular area(s) designated by the CVTEA, and describe, in detail, the progress made in addressing the area of concern. The CVTEA will review the report at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Based on the progress noted in the interim report, the CVTEA may request an appearance of a program representative at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The cost for such an appearance will be borne by the respective program/parent institution. Subsequent to receipt of the report, a site visit by an evaluation team may be required.
