Programs that paid a fee for a 2020 site visit that did not occur will be refunded.
The commission will not be processing accreditation applications until further notice.
The next site visits for every CODA-accredited program, except those already visited in 2020, will be shifted forward by one year. Special focused site visits and application site visits are postponed until the next earliest opportunity.
Current accreditation statuses held by the dental educational programs may be retained as long as the program continues to comply with the commission’s standards, policies and procedures.
Any program scheduled for a special focused site visit due to a potential area of noncompliance should submit a report to the commission for consideration at the commission’s summer 2020 meeting.
