NOTE: 

In order for ACEN to properly to discharge its responsibilities to the Department of Education pursuant to 34 CFR Section 602.28, an applicant for accreditation must certify that neither the governing organization nor the nursing program is the subject of:

  1. A pending or final action brought by a State agency to suspend, revoke, withdraw, or terminate the institution's legal authority to provide postsecondary education in the State;

  2. A decision by a recognized agency to deny accreditation or pre-accreditation;

  3. A pending or final action brought by a recognized accrediting agency to suspend, revoke, withdraw, or terminate the institution's accreditation or pre-accreditation; or

  4. Probation or an equivalent status imposed by a recognized agency.

The program will be required to certify this information at the time that Official Authorization for Accreditation Form is signed. Information submitted by the program will be kept confidential and will only be utilized by the ACEN in its report to the USDE as required. The information provided by the governing organization/nursing program will not be utilized in determining the program’s accreditation with the ACEN. The achievement accreditation will be based upon the program’s ability to demonstrate compliance with the current ACEN Standards and Criteria

 

Submission of this form is considered the official authorization by the program to initiate the accreditation process.
