Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA)
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) is a private, nonprofit national organization that coordinates accreditation activity in the United States. CHEA represents more than 3,000 colleges and universities and 60 national, regional and specialized accreditors. CHEA accreditors are normally reviewed on a 10-year cycle with two interim reports.
CHEA has six recognition standards by which it reviews accrediting organizations for recognition. The standards place primary emphasis on academic quality assurance and improvement for an institution or program.

In May 2018, the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) submitted the required interim report in accordance with the 2010 CHEA Recognition Policy and Procedures to CHEA. At its June 4, 2018 meeting, the CHEA Committee on Recognition reviewed the report and requested follow-up information regarding Standard 12B5 to inform the public of the bases and reasons for CCE’s final accreditation decisions by December 1, 2018. On November 28, 2018, CCE submitted its follow-up report for review by the CHEA Committee on Recognition and additional information on February 6, 2019 as requested.
