Title 34 - Education
The agency must demonstrate that the procedures it uses throughout the accrediting process satisfy due process. The agency meets this requirement if the agency does the following: (a) The agency uses procedures that afford an institution or program a reasonable period of time to comply with the agency's requests for information and documents. (b) The agency notifies the institution or program in writing of any adverse accrediting action or an action to place the institution or program on probation or show cause. The notice describes the basis for the action. (c) The agency permits the institution or program the opportunity to appeal an adverse action and the right to be represented by counsel during that appeal. If the agency allows institutions or programs the right to appeal other types of actions, the agency has the discretion to limit the appeal to a written appeal. (d) The agency notifies the institution or program in writing of the result of its appeal and the basis for that result. (Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1099b)
