Our Accreditation Fee structure is designed for scalability for organizations of varying sizes and program pursuits. As such, the structure contains several different types of fees.

Accreditation fees are based on program(s), location(s), and revenue-level. Accredited organizations incur an Annual Fee. Every other year when an organization pursues accreditation (their On-Cycle year), they additionally incur Assessment, Location, and (if applicable) Multi-Program Discounted and Program-Specific Fees, as appropriate. On Off-Cycle years, organizations pay only the Annual Fee. Please see the definitions for more information regarding what's included in our fee structure.

Initial/Reaccreditation Year (On-Cycle Year)
(Annual Fee) + ((Number of Programs-1)(Multi-Program Discounted Fee))* + (Program Assessment Fee) + ((Number of Programs-1)(Additional Program Assessment Fees)) + ((Number of Locations-1)(Additional Location Fees)) + (Any Program Specific Fees)* = Total On-Cycle Year Fees
*if applicable fees
Off-Cycle Year
(Annual Fee) = Total Off-Cycle Year Fees
