Each decision made by the Board regarding a school's accrediting is communicated officially to the school in writing within 30 days of the effective date of the decision.

Board decisions regarding accreditation are made public through the membership directory on the ATS website and each school's individual page, and following each meeting of the Board, a summary of key accrediting actions it has taken is disclosed. The Board also shares key accreditation decisions with appropriate agencies, such as the US Department of Education for US schools, and also with relevant accrediting agencies.

Some decisions of the Board are reviewable (warnings and probation), one is appealable (withdrawal of accreditation), while others are neither.

Schools are responsible to communicate clearly and accurately on their institutional website their accredited status. If a school has been placed on public sanction or received an adverse action, the school must make that information known publicly on their website within seven days of notification. ALOs should review carefully their school's statement of accreditation to ensure that it aligns with what is required in Policies and Procedures, VII.A.6.
