Accreditation Cohorts

All Commission-approved program sponsors have been assigned a color cohort for the purposes of accreditation activities.  A list of institutions and their assigned color cohort cohort may be found below.

The cohort map provides a schedule of required activities for each color cohort.  A link to the cohort maps and schedule by year can be found at: Accreditation Schedule of Activities.opens in a new window

There are specialized email accounts for institutions to submit documentation and questions related to the Commission’s accreditation system. The color cohort email allows programs to communicate with a specified cohort consultant. All contact information can be found on the Program Staff Contacts page.

*Please note, at its December 7-8, 2024 meeting, the Commission voted to adjust the timeline of accreditation activities by one year to allow program sponsors and Commission staff to focus on implementing the new Literacy Standard and TPEs. The accreditation schedule has been adjusted to reflect the timing of accreditation activities for all color cohorts. Please see PSA 23-08 for additional information.
