Accreditor Program Approvals
Understand Your Accreditor’s Change Requirements
Each accreditor is different, so it is important to refer to your accreditor’s requirements. If you are making changes that affect less than 25% of your program, a notification may not be required. If you are making changes that affect more than 25% of your program, you may need to go through your accreditor’s substantive change process.
There are ways to structure your apprenticeship-based degree program to reduce the likelihood of it requiring a substantive change, some of which are outlined here.
