State’s Responsibility for Program Approval. The Parties understand and agree that:
State’s Responsibility for Program Approval. 3.1. The State has sole responsibility for program approval. In granting program approval, the State will utilize information generated from CAEPs review of an EPP, including but not limited to an Accreditation Council decision on CAEP Accreditation and the assignment of any Areas for Improvement (AFIs) and Stipulations, as described in Accreditation Council policy. Although the State may elect to have state-specific standards and/or requirements incorporated into the CAEP review, consistent with the program review options outlined below, information gathered on these standards and requirements is to be used only for purposes of determining state approval. An XXXx attainment of or failure to attain any non-CAEP standards will have no bearing on CAEP accreditation.
