At the Summer 2026 meeting, the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) reviewed public comment received regarding a call for any revisions to the Accreditation Operation Procedures (AOP) and Accreditation Operation Procedures for Master’s Programs (AOP-M). Afterwards, the APA Council of Representatives approved revisions to Implementing Regulation (IR) A-1. Policies for Accreditation Governance. The revision established permanent CoA seats representing master’s education and training, along with an additional public member. This IR will be implemented starting on January 1, 2027.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation at (202) 336-5979 or email. On behalf of the CoA, thank you for your review and comments.
