				program meets the minimum standards established by ABGC to provide a
				well-rounded and adequate educational and clinical program for students. ABGC
				full accreditation is typically conferred for a period of six (6) years and
				reaccreditation is typically conferred for a period of up to eight (8) years,

				accreditation.

				clinical training for students and has generalized problems that appear to
				interfere with optimal education of the candidates. This program must make
				public its probationary status.
(3)
				Provisional accreditation applies to a new program that has completed and
				submitted an application for becoming an accredited program. Such a program
				must meet the minimum criteria for providing the master's degree in genetic
				counseling, as established by ABGC. Provisionally accredited programs must
				apply for full accreditation within three (3) years of matriculating their
