CAAHEP Announces Fee Increase
During its November 21 meeting, the CAAHEP Board of Directors approved an increase in its institutional fee effective July 2016. The fee will be raised from $450 per year to $550 per year. This is the fee paid by every institution that sponsors one or more CAAHEP-accredited programs.
"CAAHEP has worked hard to keep our expenses down and avoid a fee increase to our sponsoring institution." said Thomas Skalko, PhD, LRT/CTRS, CAAHEP President. "It has been more than 15 years since the last time CAAHEP raised its institutional fee. The Board was extremely conscientious to keep the increase to the minimum necessary to continue to provide accreditation services to our accredited programs."
Kathleen Megivern, JD, CAE, Executive Director, said, "The increase in institutional fees will not take place until July 1, 2016, so that our sponsoring institutions will have adequate time to budget for the increase no matter when their fiscal year begins. Programs and institutions will receive notices throughout the coming year as reminders to prepare for the new fee structure."
Any sponsoring institution or CAAHEP accredited program with questions on the new institutional fee should contact the CAAHEP office for assistance.
