IMPORTANT SOFTWARE NOTE TO PROGRAMS: (5.15.2013) As the ARC-PA transitions to the revised accreditation process, all application documents, templates, change forms and reports due to the ARC-PA will be developed in Microsoft Office 2010 and may not be compatible with Office 2007 and earlier. Programs are urged to plan accordingly.
All programs submitting a provisional application for consideration on an ARC-PA agenda of September 2013 and March 2014 should have received a zip file in December 2012 of application materials specific to their review cycle.
