2009 Conditions for Accreditation National Architectural Accrediting Board, Inc. PART TWO (II): SECTION 3 – EVALUATION OF PREPARATORY/PRE-PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION Because of the expectation that all graduates meet the SPC (see Section 1 above), the program must demonstrate that it is thorough in the evaluation of the preparatory or preprofessional education of individuals admitted to the NAAB-accredited degree program. In the event a program relies on the preparatory/pre-professional educational experience to ensure that students have met certain SPC, the program must demonstrate it has established standards for ensuring these SPC are met and for determining whether any gaps exist. Likewise, the program must demonstrate it has determined how any gaps will be addressed during each student’s progress through the accredited degree program. This assessment should be documented in a student’s admission and advising files. The APR must include the following: A description of the process by which the preparatory or pre-professional education of students admitted to the accredited program is evaluated. This description should include the process for verifying general education credits, professional credits and, where appropriate, the basis for granting “advanced standing.” These are to be documented in a student’s admissions and advising record (See also I.2.1). If applicable, SPC that are expected to have been met in preparatory or preprofessional education are to be documented in the top line of the SPC matrix (see Part II, Section 1.) [NOTE: A review of course titles and descriptions in and of itself is not considered sufficient for this activity.] 29
