What is your current review time-line?
The CACREP (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs) Self

Following the submission, the CACREP Board reviews the Self Study during the review time. If
additional information is needed, the CACREP office notifies Dr. Bradley who will send the
additional information. The CACREP Board reviews the Self Study and will inform the college when
the Self Study is complete and ready for a Site Visit
