The Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) is proposing changes to our Policies and Procedures.
The TRACS Accreditation Commission has approved these reviewed areas for distribution and public comment. We do realize that time is valuable and do not wish to inconvenience anyone in any way. However, because these changes will directly impact our institutions, any input which we receive will be greatly appreciated. We have posted below both the tracked and accepted copies of the proposed changes.
All comments should be sent electronically to the TRACS office (comments@tracs.org) by May 10, 2013.
Comments received after that date will be considered if they can be incorporated into the final review process at the time received.
