Current and New Programs
REACCREDITATION
Programs must undergo a process of reaccreditation at specified intervals, as determined by ACGC. During reaccreditation, programs must undergo a comprehensive Self-Study and undertake a Site Visit from ACGC. The Self-Study is due on August 1st of the year prior to the reaccreditation date of record for the program. The Self-Study application is accessed through Armature. ACGC will contact programs when the instruments are open, typically 6 months prior to the due date.
Report of Current Status
Programs currently holding ACGC accreditation must file a Report of Current Status (RCS) annually. This report must be reviewed and approved by ACGC in order to maintain accreditation.
The 2025 RCS, along with Annual Accreditation fees, is due on June 30, 2025.
Please see below for a copy of the 2024 RCS questions for reference. This form is for fully accredited programs.
Note: The RCS form is slightly different and shorter for programs that have the Accredited, New Program status. Also, during the year that a program is undergoing reaccreditation, the program is not required to complete an RCS. Programs will be informed when the current year’s RCS forms are available in Armature.
