Accreditation Process


The following provides a brief explanation of the steps involved in achieving accreditation.

  1. Applying for Candidacy Status: By March 1, Interpreter Educator Programs need to apply and submit the following: 1) a letter of intent, 2) a completed Application for Candidacy, 3) a one-time non-refundable Application Fee (see Fee Schedule) ,and 4) vitae for all full-time, part-time and adjunct faculty. CCIE will review the submitted materials to determine if the program is sufficiently prepared to begin the Self Study Review Process. Programs will be informed by June 1 if they have achieved Candidacy Status.

  2. Self Study Review: Programs achieving Candidacy Status will begin their Self Study Review Process. In June of the following year, programs will submit the final Self Study Review which contains the necessary documentation in accordance with the National Interpreter Education Standards (see also the National Interpreter Education Standards Rubric).

  3. Peer Review of the Self Study Review Report: A team of peer reviewers will review the Self Study Review Report. If the materials submitted are deemed satisfactory, a site visit will be scheduled for the fall or winter.

  4. Site visit: An onsite team will visit and assess the program and subsequently submit their findings and recommendations to the CCIE. The CCIE will make the final decision regarding accreditation status.
