Important Suspension of All Accreditation Fees Lifted– 2022-2023 Fiscal Year
The 2022-23 California State Budget lifted the suspension of accreditation fees that has been in place for the past few years. Accreditation fees will be assessed for the 2022-23 fiscal year. These fees will include annual accreditation fees and fees for initial institutional approvals, initial program approvals, and extraordinary accreditation activities including revisits. Commission staff is currently working to reimplement these processes and will release a Program Sponsor Alert to provide specific guidance.
Title 5 Regulations have been approved for two Commission fee structures that apply to program sponsors in order to fund the accreditation process.
Annual Accreditation Fees
Annual accreditation fees apply to all institutions approved to offer educator preparation programs. Fees vary based on number of program completers recommended and number of programs offered.
