The Commission on Accreditation periodically reviews its fee structure. Such a review commenced in 2019, at which time the CoA voted to increase annual accreditation and initial application fees. The new annual accreditation fees went into effect on June 1, 2020, and the new initial application fees will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2020. The revised fee structure is on the OPCA website and included below for your reference:
