The delegation, also, incorporates in its report of assessment a recommendation to the commission of the accrediting organization (a group of peer faculty and staff, professionals, and public members).

Activity 3

Accreditation Decision

The ad hoc commission reviews the evidence and recommendation taking a set of expectations about quality and integrity into account. Finally, at the discretion of the commission concern, a judgment is issued and the institution will be officially informed of the decision.
