Agreement and Attestation
Please indicate your understanding and attestation to each of the following items by typing your initials in the blank provided.
I understand that I will have four years to complete the self-study once my application is accepted.*
I understand that our school will be responsible for all accreditation expenses including those expenses related to all visits.*
The school must submit the Annual Accreditation Status and Progress Report (ASPR) including all supporting documentation each school year following the visitation years for continued accreditation.*
Note: On the years that a school completes a self-study and hosts a site team, the ASPR is NOT required. The ASPR provides a periodic self-assessment and review of the current accreditation standards. Schools should review any accreditation updates or changes that may have been made to existing standards.
Accreditation requires compliance with the standards listed in the most current version of the ILCS/FLOCS Accreditation Program Guidelines.*
