(a)  There must be a systematic plan to conduct evaluative activities on an on‑going basis.  Self‑evaluation is a continuing obligation of the institution offering a criminal justice program.  The self‑evaluation must include, as a minimum, a specific response to each guideline for approval as outlined in the "Certification Manual".  Supplementary materials may be appended to the report if they clarify the response(s).

(b)  The self‑study may be conducted utilizing a recent institutional self‑study conducted within the past three years or one currently underway for the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities accreditation or re‑accreditation.  Care should be taken to appropriately supplement materials used in the Southern Association self‑study with information required specifically for certification by the Commission, as found in the self‑evaluation report forms.

(c)  A Visiting Team may be required.  It will use the self‑evaluation as the primary evaluation instrument during the site visit.

(d)  Five copies of the completed self‑evaluation report and five copies of the college catalog must be submitted to the Commission's Program Evaluation Committee for the Visiting Team and Committee use.
