Part I of the application consists of the general academic and financial information about the facility and outlines the readiness of the location to begin enrolling students. The application fee of $2500 and two copies of the application (one hard copy and CD ROM), with accompanying exhibits, must be received in the Council office prior to the initiation of classes. If the application is satisfactory, the Executive Director will grant initial inclusion of the branch campus within the grant of accreditation of the main campus.

A verification visit will be conducted by a member of the Council staff within six months of the initial inclusion. This evaluation will determine the ability of the location to continue to operate as an approved site and to proceed in the application process. In the event that the branch is initiated that offers a non-business, technical program not offered at the main campus, at another branch campus, or at a commonly owned, ACICS-accredited institution, the verification visit will include an appropriate subject specialist (or specialists).

If you have any questions concerning the branch application process, please contact Susan Greer, Senior Manager, Campus Development at sgreer@acics.org.
