Join NACEP for their Pre-Conference Accreditation Institute Session focusing on the national standards designed to enhance the quality of concurrent enrollment programs. Learn about their role in the CE/DE community, accreditation application preparation and logistics, and the CEP and CPF national standards of quality.

This institute is open to anyone who is a stakeholder in a College Enrollment Partnership/College Provided Faculty Program., such as an administrator, program director/staff, secondary partner (superintendent, principal, high school teacher, school counselor), or faculty liaison. This session is designed for institutions looking to gain insight on the process and the standards and for those programs seeking reaccreditation to satisfy the accreditation institute requirement.

We would recommend an institution seeking to apply for initial accreditation in the upcoming cycles to attend the two-day accreditation institute (location and dates TBA in the coming months).
