Self-Study Instructions
Instructions and Templates
Use the links below to download the appropriate set of Accreditation Self-Study Instructions in Microsoft Word format. This format allows you to type directly into the document, using them as a template. It is strongly encouraged you download them in this format if possible. If you do not use Word, you can download the instructions in Adobe PDF format.
Programs should use the self-study instructions for the year during which they will be site visited. This means that accredited programs assigned self-study due dates prior to September 1 should use the current year’s self-study instructions (2013). Accredited programs assigned a self-study due date of September 1 (or later, in the event of a delay), should use the upcoming year’s self-study instructions (2014).
Notes about “eligible” and “accredited, on contingency” applications for internship and postdoctoral residency programs:
Application forms for “eligible” status for internship and postdoctoral residency programs will be posted to this page on or about May 1, 2013.
Internship and postdoctoral residency programs submitting applications for “Accredited, on contingency” status after September 1, 2013 should use the 2014 CoA Self-study Instructions provided below.
Internship and postdoctoral residency programs submitting applications for “Accredited, on contingency” status prior to September 1, 2013 should contact the office at (202) 336-5979.
