On-Site Evaluation Team Visits for
April 2026 & October 2026 Commission Meetings - Candidacy, Accreditation, Reaffirmation

Constituents and members of the public are invited to submit third-party comments concerning an institution’s qualifications for a particular accreditation status. Third-party comments should be submitted to thirdpartycomments@tracs.org. TRACS will receive third-party comments until 14 days before the scheduled Evaluation Team Visit.

TRACS shares third-party comments with members of the Evaluation Team prior to the visit, but at no time during the review process will third-party comments be shared with the institution. During its review, the Evaluation Team considers third-party comments only as they relate to the TRACS Accreditation Standards.

Please note: Dates are subject to change.
