The list contains only those institutions being considered for accreditation or continuation of accreditation based on a full institutional self-study and an NASAD on-site visit.
As a part of the comprehensive review, NASAD procedures include the opportunity for third-party comment. Third-party comment may be used to address only matters published in the NASAD standards and those aspects of Rules of Practice and Procedure associated with accreditation as published in the current Handbook of the Association.

Anyone wishing to file third-party comment eligible for consideration by the Commission must read and abide by these rules. All third-party comment must be filed using a current “NASAD Official Third-Party Comment Form.”
The institution will be given an opportunity to review and respond to any third-party comment eligible for Commission review under the rules and procedures cited above.
