The Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) requires programs to submit accreditation applications and annual reports exclusively online through the Higher Education Data System (HES).
Questions about submitting CAA reports through the HES should be directed to accreditation@asha.org.
- November 2009: CAA will present 3 lunch time sessions on various aspects of preparing and submitting CAA reports at the 2009 ASHA Convention in New Orleans. Staff also will be available at the ASHA Member Services Center throughout Convention for consultation.
- Fall 2009: A 90-minute webinar about submitting accreditation reports in HES will be conducted for programs due to submit their application or annual report by February 1, 2010. Watch for registration information for the webinar coming soon.
- A PowerPoint "how to" presentation [PPT, 2.6MB] including actual screen shots provides guidance to programs on the CAA Accreditation Application interface in the HES.
- To assist programs in preparing their online submissions to CAA using the HES, data collection worksheets are available (in Microsoft Word) from this web page. Please note: Information drafted about faculty, courses, external clinical sites, etc. on these worksheets will not be automatically uploaded to the HES. Programs will need to enter or confirm the CAA report data in the HES during the submission period. Questions? Contact accreditation@asha.org.
General Information and Time Lines
Effective May 2009, CAA Annual Reports must be submitted using the HES.
- Submission dates have been changed and are based on the anniversary date of the program's accreditation cycle.
- February 1: Anniversary dates November–April
- August 1: Anniversary dates May–October
- Next CAA report submission date in HES: February 1, 2010
- Includes submission for Annual Reports and Applications for (Re)Accreditation
- For programs with anniversary dates November–April
- The HES typically is open 3 months prior to the submission deadline to allow sufficient time for programs to complete their CAA reports.
As a result of moving to new submission time lines, CAA expects to communicate to progams the results of its annual report reviews approximately 5 months after submission.
- Additional user resources are available on the ASHA Web site:
The CAA welcomes programs' feedback about their experience using the HES to submit the annual report or application as well as suggestions for additional resources to assist programs in these activities. Please send an e-mail to accreditation@asha.org with your comments or suggestions.
