Public Information

1.7 The sponsoring institution and program comply with requirements to
achieve and maintain JRCERT accreditation.

Explanation:
Programs must comply with all JRCERT policies and procedures to maintain accreditation. JRCERT
policies are located at www.jrcert.org. In addition, substantive changes must be reviewed and approved
by the JRCERT prior to implementation, with the exception of a change of ownership.

JRCERT accreditation requires that the sponsoring institution has the primary responsibility for the
educational program and grants the terminal award. Sponsoring institutions may include educational
programs established in colleges, universities, vocational/technical schools, hospitals, or military facilities.
The JRCERT does not recognize a healthcare system as the program sponsor. A healthcare system consists
of multiple institutions operating under a common governing body or parent corporation. A specific facility
within the healthcare system must be identified as the sponsor. The JRCERT requires each program to have
a separate accreditation award and does not recognize branch campuses. The JRCERT recognizes a
consortium as an appropriate sponsor of an educational program.

The JRCERT requires programs to maintain a current and accurate database. The program must maintain
documentation of all program official qualifications, including updated curricula vitae and current ARRT
certification and registration, or equivalent documentation. This documentation is not required to be
entered into the Accreditation Management System (AMS). Newly appointed institutional administrators,
program officials, and clinical preceptors must be updated through the AMS within thirty (30) days of
appointment.
