NASPAA’s Commission on Peer Review and Accreditation would like to extend a warm welcome to all accreditation site visitors, and potential site visitors!

This portion of the website is devoted to informing you of the process and substance of being an accreditation site visitor. As a site visitor, you are the most vital part of the accreditation process: the eyes and ears of the Commission.

The site team is nominated by the Commission and approved by the program to be visited at which time a conflict of interest check is conducted. The nomination process takes place during November and December of each year. Visitors are matched to schools along a number of characteristics, and not every site visitor in the pool is called every year. The site visits are usually scheduled in February and March. There are no honoraria, but your transportation, hotel, and meals will be covered.

If you would like to become a site visitor, the first step is to obtain training. This portion of the website contains important information about where and how to obtain site visitor training. You will also need to fill out the registration form provided at the training sessions which will provide NASPAA with the characteristics necessary to match you with an appropriate program.  Upon completion of the training NASPAA will e-mail you to confirm that you are in our database and to request your up-to-date CV/ Resume which is sent to programs during the conflict of interest check and approval process.

The Commission wants every site visitor to be well-prepared for his or her visit, and to achieve that goal, this portion of the website also contains the site visitor manual, expense forms, and training materials from past sessions.

Thank you for your interest in serving as an accreditation site visitor!
