In recent months, the CAAHEP Board of Directors approved the following changes to the CAAHEP Policy & Procedures Manual. The Manual has been updated and is available on the CAAHEP website.
Change to Policy 401 Adoption and Revision of Standards C.6.
At the July 17th meeting, the following change was approved to Policy 401 C.6. The underscored text was added.
 
“Once the Standards Committee has reviewed and approved the “Open Hearing” draft, it must be sent to all of the CoA’s sponsoring organization(s) for endorsement. The endorsement letter must be signed by the chief official or designated representative of the sponsoring organization.”
Change to Policy 302 Public Use of CAAHEP Accreditation Status by Programs and Institutions
At the May 15, 2020, meeting, the CAAHEP Board approved a change in Policy 302, allowing programs to use just the CAAHEP name and website, instead of the entire CAAHEP address, should they choose. There were also a few editorial corrections in this section. Please see the attached tracked document for all of the changes.
Change to Policy 507 Representative of Students
To coincide with the changes to CAAHEP's Bylaws, the Board approved the changes to Policy 507 Representative of Students in May. Since the Commission voted to remove the Recent Graduate Commissioner position on the Board of Directors, the duties of the Resent Graduate Commissioner needed to be updated. Please see the attached changes in Policy 507.
