APPLICATION TEMPLATE
- Face Page and Outline: An application template will be provided to programs that submit a letter of intent and are deemed eligible to apply.
- Narrative: Applications must be submitted electronically as PDF files. The narrative section is limited to a maximum of 20 pages, and must be formatted as follows: written in Word, single spaced, with double spacing between paragraphs, 12-pt Arial font, minimum of one-inch margins, and pagination. Although it is not a requirement, it is helpful to reviewers if programs use the structural outline of PCSAS accreditation criteria to organize the narrative description of their programs.
- Appendices:(See accreditation criteria.) Data for at least the last ten years must be provided to document the applicant program's performance in relation to all of the various PCSAS criteria.
- Application fees*:
- Eligibility/Initiation Fee: $1,000**
- Application Fee: $10,000***
- Annual Dues: $2,000
*Until PCSAS has gained recognition as an accrediting body by an appropriate agency, such as the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, the Application Fee and Dues structure will be discounted by 50% for all eligible programs.
**The Eligibility Fee will be counted toward the Application Fee for programs deemed eligible to apply.
***Accreditation normally is for a ten-year period; this fee applies only at the time of initial application or application for renewal.
