Specialized Accreditation Resources

Certain programs at Old Dominion Univerity (ODU) require specialized accreditation to maintain compliance with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) standards. This includes completing a self-study report.

To adequately support your program's accreditation review, please complete the self-study preparation assistance form and submit it 18 months before the self-study due date.

Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment (IE&A) should receive a draft copy of the self-study report 6-8 weeks prior to the final submission date for review and feedback.聽Signature requests must be submitted to the President no less than 2 weeks before the self-study due date.
