A written report of the evaluation is given to the institution. This allows the institution to correct any misrepresentations or errors of fact. Finally, the evaluation report is presented to the appropriate ABET Commission with a recommended accreditation action. Based on the findings of the report, the Commission votes on the action and the institution is notified of the decision. The information the school receives identifies strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and recommendations for improvements.
Accreditation is granted for a maximum of six years.
To renew accreditation, the institution must request another evaluation. ABET accreditation is also a consideration for admission to many graduate programs.
