<p>A sample standard from a national or regional accrediting agency will be used to examine the language and intention of the standard followed by a discussion of how institutions should respond to the standard to demonstrate how institutional practices meet the criteria. The course will use the standards from a variety of national and regional accrediting commissions, and you will be encouraged to examine your own commission&#8217;s standards using the same process the examples provide. You will want to have the copy of your commission&#8217;s accreditation criteria and your last self-study nearby as we consider the administrative standards.</p>
