Greetings! We have designed this online site to assist schools that are preparing to host ATS accreditation visits during fall 2020 or spring 2021. This module will help you prepare for your visit, particularly in light of the adoption of new Standards of Accreditation as well as the potential impact of COVID-19. We recognize that you are living in "in-between times" that make planning to host a visit more complicated than usual -- and so this online site seeks to help you feel better prepared, to anticipate and answer questions you might have, and to hopefully make your work easier.

Most of the content on this site is directed toward schools that will be hosting comprehensive evaluation visits (either for reaffirmation of accreditation or for initial accreditation), but schools that are hosting focused visits will likely find it useful as well (see a note about focused visits here). For comprehensive visits, this site is designed to be used alongside the new Self-Study Handbook (July 2020), which is described on the next page and which you can access anytime from the left menu bar.

As always, please don't hesitate to contact your Commission staff liaison with any questions.

This Canvas site has been designed as a public resource, meaning anyone can access it and you do not need to log in to use this site. To navigate through this site, you can click the "next" and "previous" buttons at the bottom of each page. You can also go to the "modules" view (top left) to see an outline of the entire site, and from there select and view whichever page(s) you would like. Clicking "home" (top left) will bring you back to this starting page.

We would encourage you to start by using "next" to go through the entire site, and then later use the "modules" view (like a table of contents) to return to the sections that apply to each step of your process.
