Veterinary Technician Degree Online Program National Exam The final appraisal of each program is based on review of the total educational program by an evaluation site team visit and accreditation decision by CVTEA, with consideration given to each stated objective and the Standards as listed. Classification of accreditation of a program in veterinary technology shall be in effect from the last day of the site visit until acted upon by CVTEA. The accreditation status of each program will be published semi-annually and made available upon request. Full Accreditation - Those programs that meet or exceed all Standards of Accreditation. Provisional Accreditation - New programs that have made significant progress towards meeting the Standards of Accreditation. The program will remain on provisional accreditation until achieving full accreditation, or for a period not to exceed five years. Once graduates have been produced and outcomes have been collected and analyzed, a provisionally accredited program may petition for full accreditation. A special site visit may be required prior to an accreditation decision if major changes have occurred in the program that may impact the program's ability to meet the Standards of Accreditation. Probational Accreditation - Those programs previously fully or provisionally accredited that do not meet all Standards of Accreditation. Any program on probational accreditation that does not make annual progress toward correcting its deficiencies, or any program that has been on probational accreditation for two successive years, will have its accreditation withdrawn. Terminal Accreditation - Terminal accreditation will apply to programs that are voluntarily discontinuing. Students enrolled at the time a program is terminally accredited will be considered graduates of an accredited program when they complete the curriculum. Accreditation Withdrawn--Previously accredited programs that have had their accreditation withdrawn will be classified as Accreditation Withdrawn. Graduates of the program at the time of withdrawn accreditation will not be considered graduates of an AVMA accredited program. Graduates of a program classified as Provisional, Probational, or Terminal Accreditation are considered to be graduates of anaccredited program in veterinary technology.
