Notification related to School Listing

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.

When finished, please submit this petition to the ATS Accrediting Records Coordinator by hitting the "submit" button below. You can expect an automated confirmation email within a few minutes—and formal acknowledgement by your Commission staff liaison usually within 30 days. Please do not implement this change until you receive that acknowledgement from your liaison. There is no fee for any notification (or any petition). Please do not send any paper copies or any emailed attachments; submit only this completed, online form (including any links to additional information requested).
