Campus Visits

Once you have completed the Self Study, your CSHSE Board will coordinate and schedule a campus visit. Campus visit fees will be assessed a flat rate of $2250 per campus visitor. The fee will cover all costs of travel, lodging, and meals of a campus visitor. There will be two campus visitors assigned for each campus visit for a total of $4500 for a campus visit. Campus visit fees will be charged to the Program when the Vice President of Accreditation notifies the program that the Self-study Readers have determined that the self-study review is complete and it is time to proceed with the campus visit.
For schools with more than one campus, it is required for accreditation that one third of the campuses offered within the program are visited by the CSHSE campus visitors. Additional campuses will be $200 each to cover the cost of travel.
