Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) Eligibility Statement:
At its meeting on January 26, 2009, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) Board of Directors reviewed the recommendation of the CHEA Committee on Recognition regarding the eligibility application submitted by the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE).

The CHEA Committee on Recognition will review the self-evaluation and the observation report at its March 15, 2011 meeting and make a recommendation to the CHEA Board of Directors.
