Annual Reports
To maintain their accreditation status with AAQEP, providers complete and submit an Annual Report beginning with the year following their program's first site visit (see Annual Report Policy). In addition, some states require all AAQEP members in their state to file Annual Reports, regardless of accreditation status; please consult the relevant cooperation agreement for details.
AAQEP encourages all members to complete the report, both to begin building the record for their program relative to AAQEP’s standards and to inform aggregate reporting by AAQEP on common indicators across the membership.

2026 Annual Report2026 Annual Reports and Annual Updates (with program productivity data) are being collected from October 1, 2026, through January 15, 2027, in AAQEP's Accreditation Management Platform hosted by Weave. Annual Reports are submitted as PDF uploads in the platform based on a templated Microsoft Word document. Note that the template contains minimal instructions, so be sure to reference the guidance document as you complete it.

Annual Report FAQ
A: The 2026 report asks for the same content as in 2025, but the question about staffing and capacity has been moved from the public-facing Part I (Section 3) to Part II (Section 8) so providers can choose whether to have the information published.
A: Although you're encouraged to file one earlier, your first required Annual Report is due for the year following your AAQEP site visit—whether for initial or 7-year accreditation. That due date is listed on your action report and in this list of accredited programs.
A: Yes. Although some of the information might be duplicated if your reports are completed around the same time, Annual Reports serve a public-reporting function, while Quality Assurance Reports are not designed to be posted publicly.
A: A separate review will mean a separate self-study report for those programs, and each QAR or IAR needs its own Annual Report. You only need to report on your already-accredited programs for the time being (and completing a separate report for the not-yet-accredited ones is optional).
