Guide to Accreditation
The Guide to AAQEP Accreditation provides comprehensive information on the AAQEP process to support member programs as they seek accreditation or reaccreditation. It also serves as a resource for volunteer peer reviewers and decision makers.
It describes AAQEP's standards and aspects, evidence consideration and priorities, self-study and reporting expectations, the review process, and definitions of key terms. (If you’re looking for policies, you can find them here.)
The Guide is an operating manual that is updated periodically. The 2025 Guide (aligned with the 2025 expectations framework) and the 2023 edition (aligned with the original 2018 framework) are linked below:
