NASPAA/COPRA Accreditation Fees

Self studies for the 2008-09 cycle are due in to the NASPAA office by close of business on AUGUST 15, 2008. In the event the self study does not arrive by August 15, a late fee of $300 will be assessed. If the self study arrives after September 1 (or first business day after), the self study will not be accepted, and the school’s submission will not be considered. The late fee covers the additional costs entailed in processing and express mailing tardy self studies individually to Commission members. The program is also expected to cover site visit costs. (Schools should plan on $1,500-3,000 for site visit costs for three people for three days, including airfares or car mileage, meals, and lodging.)

If the fee is likely to impose a hardship on your program, please contact the NASPAA office. The Commission has made provision for schools to pay the accreditation fee in advance, spread over a period of years, without additional charges.
