What an Accredited Institution Represents
An ACISC-accredited institution has completed the applicable accreditation pathway and received a formal accreditation decision from ACISC.
The accreditation process evaluates the institution against applicable ACISC accreditation standards through institutional evidence, self-study, external evaluation, professional review and formal decision-making.
Accreditation establishes an institutional relationship within the applicable approved scope and continuing accreditation framework.

Institutional Accreditation and Program Coverage
ACISC international accreditation is institutional in character and applies within the approved accreditation scope established through the applicable accreditation process and decision.
Educational programs formally declared and included within an accredited institution’s approved accreditation scope are covered within that institution’s ACISC international accreditation.
The institutional accreditation record should therefore be used to understand the scope associated with the institution’s accreditation.
Accredited institutions maintain current information about their educational programs through their official websites, catalogs and authorized institutional publications.
