Accreditation Evidence Collection by Office

Accreditation evidence collection is the work of asking each campus office for the documents, data and policy records that a report or site visit will cite. Every request is tracked to a dated, sourced file, and the finished set goes to the writing team before an internal cutoff.

The person who runs it is usually the accreditation liaison officer or accreditation coordinator, working with institutional effectiveness staff and the self-study lead. At colleges and universities, the evidence sits in many offices, each with its own contacts and its own pace. Every item is mapped to the standard or criterion it supports, as your accreditor’s handbook frames it. Typical items include catalogs and handbooks, policy documents, committee minutes, program review and assessment reports, syllabi, institutional data tables, survey results and planning documents.
