The Executive
Commissioner’s position is not on a term. Ordinary Commissioners are installed on
a one year term or on a case by case task basis (Ad Hoc Commissioner), both
with renewable terms.
Commissioners are installed, based on
their educational credentials in the field, experience and professional
integrity.
Accreditation
Final
Accreditation must be approved by the Executive Commissioner upon the
recommendation of any Commissioner who has accepted, reviewed and recommended
an institution for accreditation. The same applies to accreditation renewal.
The initial Accreditation
Certificate is issued by the Executive Commissioner bearing both his own as
well as the assigned Commissioner’s signatures.
The Executive
Commissioners assigns all requests for accreditation to one or more
Commissioners. Subsequent renewal Certificates are issued by the Executive
Commissioner on a one year term.
Copies of all
accreditation documents are kept in the UAC archives, accessible only to authorized
staff. These documents are treated with highest confidentiality, unless written
authorization for release is given by a court of competent jurisdiction.
