Council For Accreditation Of Counseling & Related Educational

Accreditation decision-making/governance: the council is governed by a 13- 15 member board of directors. Board members are appointed to serve for one term of five (5) years and are responsible for rendering accreditation decisions on applicant programs. They receive no compensation for their service, except for receiving reimbursements to attend the required two in-person meetings per year. Board meeting expenses are paid for by the organization.

Accreditation reviews/site visits: the site visit team is composed of three (3) or more professional counselors, counselor educators, and/or student affairs practioners, who are trained volunteers sent to the institution by cacrep to validate that the information presented to cacrep in the applicant's self-study document is accurate, and to gain an understanding of the aspects of the program that cannot be evaluated fully through a desk review of this document. The typical visits occur over a three (3) day period. Site team members are reimbursed for the cost of all travel related to the visit.
