CODA recognizes that education is a dynamic process. Ongoing review and evaluation often leads to changes in an educational program. CODA views change as part of a healthy educational process and encourages programs to make them as part of their normal operating procedures.
Changes can have a direct impact on the program's potential ability to comply with accreditation standards. All changes that could affect this ability must be reported to CODA.

All changes must be reviewed by CODA prior to implementation to ensure that the program continues to meet the accreditation standards.
Changes that do not require Review Committee and Commission review must be reported to the Commission in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated implementation of the change.
