Department of Education (USDE) regulations, the program must be in compliance with all
relevant accreditation standards by the timeframes listed above, or identify mitigating
circumstances hindering the attainment of this outcome. If the program does not
document compliance within the specified timeframe, the JRCERT must withdraw the
program’s accreditation unless the JRCERT, for good cause, extends the period for
achieving compliance.
Consistent with Policy 11.400, Procedure 11.405B, in order to be considered for a good
cause extension, the program must identify the mitigating circumstances and provide the
following:
• Listing of all students currently enrolled in the program, including those admitted
since the program was initially placed on Probation;
• Anticipated graduation date(s) for the above students;

• Status and results of previously implemented action plan(s) to address the areas
of non-compliance; and
• Action plan to aid students in the event that accreditation is withdrawn for failure
to document full compliance with the STANDARDS.
At the April 2021 JRCERT Board of Directors Meeting, the Board approved the addition of a
fee for consideration of a good cause extension. This $500 fee will be implemented April
22, 2022 and will be invoiced to the program when the above information is received. If
