Guidelines for Digital Content
On February 24, 2017 the NAAB approved Guidelines for the Use of Digital Content in Accreditation Visits. The document is available on the website.

The guidelines, developed by a special task force of NAAB directors, team chairs, and program administrators are designed to provide consistency in the use of digital format for presenting student work.

The NAAB wishes to thank the members of the task force for this important contribution to continually improving the accreditation process.
