Standards 2025

Thank you to everyone who submitted comment on the discussion draft of AAQEP’s 2025 expectations framework. The committee will review all feedback this summer and anticipates releasing a final draft of the standards this fall before bringing them to the Board of Directors for approval in December.


AAQEP's standards and their associated evidence requirements and priorities are on a 7-year review cycle. The current standards were adopted in January 2018, which means they must be renewed in or before January 2025. In accordance with the AAQEP bylaws, the standards-review process is overseen by the Quality Expectations Committee, whose members are drawn from the Board of Directors and the Accreditation Commission.
