Fees and assessments for evaluation by ACCRE for purpose of preaccreditation or accreditation (initial or continuing) are set at a level intended to assist in the support and continued improvement of accreditation services and to defray actual travel and other costs involved in the evaluation of professional programs. In addition, an annual sustaining fee is charged. ACCRE may adjust the fees and set effective dates for such adjustments at any regular or special meeting of ACCRE. Information regarding the current fee and assessment policy is available upon request.
