What are the consequences of doing poorly on accreditation?
A school is very unlikely to lose accreditation following a visit. It may be put on probation, and this decision has been given to two Canadian schools in the past six years (one was able to successfully appeal this decision). A school on probation must send written notification to all its students, and applicants to its program, that it is on probation. A probationary status will undoubtedly influence the reputation of the school, and could affect factors depending on this, such as endowment contributions and national rankings.
