We are pleased to bring you the last 2008 edition of CoA Communications! This online newsletter is intended to inform you of actions taken during the Fall Commission on Accreditation (CoA) meeting and to provide other important information.
Introduction

The CoA approved the Annual Reaffirmation of Accredited Programs by receipt and review of annual reports, in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Accreditation Operating Procedures. Unless your program has been otherwise informed, this notice serves as a reaffirmation of accreditation status.
