Accreditation process

I was recently invited to a student panel for my school's ACEN accreditation and I was wondering what to expect?

Also if we fail for whatever reason would we be automatically unaccredited or is there a remediation period? 

 

TIA!

The student panel is a minor part of the accreditation site visit. The team is looking at the student's perspective of the program. A vast majority of the site visit involves the program and the administration. If a school doesn't get accredited, they will get a report on their deficiencies. The school is given a certain timeframe to rectify those issues and have another site visit.

Thank you!

We were worried if we bring things we think could be done better forward it might put our ability to take the NCLEX at risk
