The following resources are for programs submitting a midterm Continuous Improvement Progress Report (CIPR), to demonstrate continued compliance with the accreditation standards as well as ongoing program improvement. If you have questions about the report or submission process, please contact Lina Nandy.

Submission Guidelines
Programs Under Review
The Continuous Improvement Progress Report (CIPR) should address only the program(s) under review. However, the Program Information Form should address all operational programs and tracks, including those that are not under review at this time. Tables in the template may be edited to remove program(s) that are not subject to review at this time; however, the standard, key element, and elaboration statements must not be altered or deleted by the institution.
Page Limit
The completed CIPR should not exceed ninety-five (95) pages. The page limit does not include appendices.
Appendices
Programs should be judicious about the inclusion of appendices, and only include those that support compliance with the key elements. Programs are also strongly encouraged to excerpt documents to highlight content that is specific to the key element. Provide page number references to draw the committee’s attention to appropriate content.
Hyperlinks
Any hyperlinks embedded in the CIPR should be publicly accessible (e.g., without an institutional login or personally identifiable information) and should remain active for the duration of the review process.
Submission
All reports must be submitted on or before the due date (but no sooner than 30 days before the due date) to ensure that the information provided is current. Email the completed report and appendices, if any, as one document in PDF format, to ccnereports@ccneaccreditation.org.
Please do not send hard copies to CCNE.
