FORM - Association of Theological Schools / Commission on Accrediting

Notification related to School Listing

(non-substantive change of directory information)
NOTE: Association member schools that are not yet accredited may submit this form at any time, as needed (see below). To notify ATS of changes regarding your president, academic dean, or accreditation liaison only, please use the "Update Member Information" form instead.

The Commission's Policies and Procedures (VI.A.6) require accredited schools to notify Commission staff of certain types of "non-substantive" changes and to receive acknowledgement by staff of those changes before they are implemented. This form covers two types: (1) changing the school’s institutional name, including adding a "doing business as" (DBA) name, and (2) changing the mailing address of an approved location but not its physical location (the latter requires a petition relocating an addition location, found on the ATS petitions and notifications webpage). This notification form may be submitted at any time, though at least 30 days before implementing the change. Commission staff will typically acknowledge this notification within 30 days. In completing this form, please include links to additional documentation as requested or as deemed helpful.

Refer to your school's listing in the ATS membership directory before completing this form.
