What each decision means

Accreditation

The school or program meets all ten MEAC standards. Full accreditation is granted for a cycle of 4–6 years.

Pre-accreditation

The school has met a minimal level of quality and is likely to achieve full accreditation within the period allowed. Graduates are eligible for the NARM exam under the MEAC pathway.

Accreditation with conditions

Accreditation is granted, but the school must address specific findings within a defined period and submit a progress report.

Denial / withdrawal

The school does not meet MEAC standards. Schools may reapply after addressing deficiencies. Appeals are available under Section G of the handbook.
