Provisional accreditation refers to:
A new social work program. Programs are provisionally accredited until completion of the first student cohort. At this time, a review is conducted with a view to full accreditation.
Existing programs where the program is being reviewed outside of re-accreditation schedules. Provisional accreditation does not impact graduates of a course with this status. Graduates have the same eligibility and standing as graduates of fully accredited programs.
Students enrolling in a provisionally accredited course are still eligible for membership of the AASW.
