In September 2024, PSC drafted updates to its accreditation standards. The main revisions allow institutions, in certain circumstances, to comply with PSC’s earnings standards based either on proprietary evidence produced by the institution itself or based on evidence produced by PSC’s direct analysis of the institution. These changes have been reviewed by the PSC Commission and the agency is currently accepting comments on the proposed revisions. While PSC accepts comments on all aspects of its standards, policies, and procedures on an ongoing basis, the agency requests interested parties submit relevant comments on its accreditation standards by November 15th, 2024, prior to the Commission finalizing these changes. All comments can be submitted via the form below.
PSC accepts public comments related to its accreditation standards, policies, and procedures on an ongoing basis. As an aspiring accreditor, PSC does not yet have member institutions or institutions under review for comment.
Comments must be submitted using the official comment form embedded below, and will be reviewed by PSC staff. In most circumstances, no response will be made to the commenter. If appropriate, staff may contact the commenter for clarification or additional information. Anyone may file a comment.
The Commission encourages commenters to truthfully identify themselves since it is often difficult to understand the context for the comment without this information. If the commenter does not provide true and verifiable contact information, the Commission staff may decide to disregard the comment.
For more information on how PSC processes and responds to public comments, refer to PSC’s policy on public comments.
