HAMMOND – The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) will conduct an initial accreditation
review of the doctor of nursing practice program offered by Southeastern Louisiana
University.
The review -- to be conducted Sept. 10-11 -- is intended to assess the educational
program's compliance with CCNE standards.
Federal regulations require that accrediting agencies allow for public comment
on the qualifications of institutions or programs under consideration for continuing
accreditation, according to CCNE.
Individuals with pertinent and valid information about the program are invited
to submit their comments in writing to CCNE at least 30 days before the review. Only
signed comments will be accepted by the agency.
CCNE shares third-party comments with members of the evaluation team prior to
the visit, but at no time during the review process are these comments shared with
the program. During its review of the program, the evaluation team considers third-party
comments, if any relate to the accreditation standards and the program's qualifications
for accreditation status.
Information should be sent 30 days before the visit begins to the Commission
on Collegiate Nurisng Education, Attention: Ms. Christina Walcott, Accrediting Assistant,
at One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036-1120.
