Good evening, for this session I learned about the little details. I never knew that could be a requirement to provide lunch for an accrediting agency. I could see how this would be a nice gesture to make the visitor welcome, but I just figured that it could be seen as a bribe all across the board. However, I do like the idea of offering to pick up a meal/order for the visitor, that does show genuine concern, hospitality, and is hard to interpret as a bribe.

Always plan on being ready and not surprised.
A facility should always be ready for an on-site visit. They will be reviewing institutional polecies and prosedures.
A great overview of the expectations for the site to always be ready for a visit. Also, some great insight about being the one to visit the site.
Las instituciones deben de estar siempre preparadas reciban una visita programada o no. Tener los archivos necesarios disponibles y accesible y en todo momento tratar al estudiante y visitas con cortesia y amabilidad.
Institutions should always be prepared regardless if there is a scheduled visit or not. Preparation should include maintaining compliant documentation, ensuring faculty and staff are fully prepared, and reviewing institutional policies and procedures to verify they align with accreditation standards, and state and federal regulations.
