This process no longer exists. The JRC-AT will NOT consider applications until a program has offered each course the institution identifies as a program requirement at least once prior to or during a site visit.
Candidacy allows for a program to be visited during the final semester of candidacy.
The self study is submitted at the end of the Candidacy period. Most institutions appreciate this opportunity to put together a program that takes advantage of the uniqueness of each institution. This fee, an application, plan of didactic and clinical study, academic catalog, and program personnel are required to begin the accreditation process. Beginning with self-studies that are submitted in 2001, programs must be a candidate for two academic years. This annual fee is billed directly to the program for the financial support of the JRC-AT Office.
