Application for Accreditation

In order to become an ACS Accredited Education Institute, an institution must complete an application. The institution will describe how it meets the specific requirements for the Standards and Criteria of the ACS Program for the Accreditation of Education Institutes. Additionally, within the application, the institution will provide documentation and/or evidence to support its written description of compliance.

The accreditation program has two levels of accreditation and as a result there are two separate applications. Please review the requirements for each level in order to appropriately choose the correct application to review. Note: the folowing applications are samples and for review purposes only.

In order to receive an application, an institution will need to submit in writing a letter of commitment stating its intent to apply and request an application.
