A change to NAACLS Standard 7, adding item N, was adopted at the September 23, 2011 Board of Directors meeting. Standard 7-N requires that students must be provided with a clear, publically available, description of the program and its content and current publications, which must include at least one outcomes measure. To comply with the Standard, programs must disclose at least one outcomes measure in current publications (e.g., program brochures, student handbooks, policy manuals, catalogs, websites, etc...) available to students and/or applicants of the program.
(Effective for Self-Studies due September 1, 2012 or later)
