The Consultation Process
Download and complete the pre-assessment form . Once you have emailed the completed assessment to the ACHA national office, ACHA will "match-up" two consultants who will review the materials submitted to ACHA about your program and campus.
Next, ACHA will coordinate a mutually convenient time for a site visit. The site visit details will be included on a contractual agreement to be signed and returned with a deposit check. The consultants will spend their scheduled 1½ day site visit with a specific agenda, talking with your staff, students, and administration, touring your facilities, and reviewing policies and procedures.
Approximately five weeks following the site visit, you will receive a draft consultation report for your review. The final report and an invoice for the remaining fees and expenses, as well as a post-visit evaluation form, will follow soon after.
