Disclosing Accreditation Status

Disclosing Accreditation Status

When a governing organization and/or nursing education unit makes a disclosure regarding the ACEN accreditation status of a nursing program, it must:

• (1) accurately cite each program (e.g., clinical doctorate, DNP specialist certificate, master’s, post-master’s certificate, baccalaureate, associate, diploma, and/or practical), including the locations where each program is located and
• (2) accurately identify each nursing program’s accreditation status with ACEN.

See Guidelines for Use of the ACEN Accreditation Seal for more information.

See Policy #9 Disclosure of Information about an Accredited Program and Policy #18 Accreditation Status of the Governing Organization for more details about ACEN requirements.
