About this session:
Accreditation is an emerging priority for inclusive college programs nationwide. This session will explore how programs can meet accreditation standards, what the process looks like from campus to state levels, and why accreditation matters for quality, recognition, and long-term viability. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of what accreditation means for students, institutions, and the broader IPSE field.
All states are welcome to join!
