The Accrediting Commission for Schools, WASC accredits supplementary education programs throughout its territory. In addition, WASC collaborates with the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA) to accredit certain of these programs that span more than one regional accrediting territory and that have successfully completed a corporate review.

For programs that are being jointly accredited by CITA and WASC, accreditation information and documents may be found on the CITA website at: www.citaschools.org.

Programs that are within WASC’s territory only should use the Focus on Learning, Accreditation Manual for Supplementary Education Programs, 2007 edition.

WASC accreditation matters for the Supplementary Education Programs are handled by the Southern WASC office in Temecula.
