The first step in the accreditation process, Candidacy Status provides your academic unit/sport management program an opportunity to prepare itself for the development of a Self Study and a site visit. All programs must provide the following materials in their application:
1. Application for Candidacy Status
2. Outcomes Assessment Plan Template
Once you have a draft of your Candidacy Status application, use this document to review it: Candidacy Status Review Checklist. You are strongly encouraged to send a draft of your application to Heather Alderman for review before any deadline.
The Board of Commissioners makes decisions about Candidacy Status applications bimonthly and, as time allows, during their biannual face-to-face meetings. The next deadline for submitting a Candidacy Status application is: August 15, 2018.
