Compliance Certification
According to the Principles of Accreditation (2010):
“The Compliance Certification, submitted approximately fifteen months in advance of an institution’s scheduled reaffirmation, is a document completed by the institution that demonstrates its judgment of the extent of its compliance with each of the Core Requirements, Comprehensive Standards, and Federal Requirements. Signatures by the institution’s chief executive officer and accreditation liaison are required to certify compliance. By signing the document, the individuals certify that the process of institutional self- assessment has been thorough, honest, and forthright, and that the information contained in the document is truthful, accurate, and complete.”
