ACCET Standard VIII – EvaluationWorksheet: Understanding and Using ACCET Document 28.1 Things to Remember • Document 28.1 must be submitted to ACCET on an annual basis, at a minimum. • Report all programs on separate 28.1s. This includes reporting full-time and part-time (and day / evening) programs, as well as IDL programs separately. • The compilation of completion and placement data must be tracked by the scheduled graduation date (month/year) as a cohort, not the start or placement date. • Remember that column 5b exists to capture those students who dropped out of the program but are working in training-related employment. These students count as completions, not placements. When calculating placement rates, use the number of eligible completions (i.e. those who have graduated and have not waived placement assistance). • Be prepared to discuss and/or document mitigating circumstances.
ACCET Standard VIII – EvaluationWorksheet: Understanding and Using ACCET Document 28.1 Things to Remember • A team will verify that the students you report as completions have in fact met minimum attendance and academic requirements. If final transcripts/attendance records do NOT indicate such, these “completions” will be disallowed by the team. • The team will verify documentation of waivers. All waivers reported on the 28.1 must be documented, including student signature and date. • The team will verify placements by calling employers and/or students. The team may disallow placements, thereby adjusting the program’s placement rate for a cohort (and therefore for the entire year), based on any of the following: placements deemed by the team to be non-training-related; graduate not employed by the company for at least 30 days, lack of student attestation. • Use the “transfer in/transfer out” columns judiciously. And remember that a student who does not complete the program is a drop, not a “transfer out.”

Your school offers only one program – Medical Assistant, a 720-hour (9 month) program. • Your school is scheduled for an on-site evaluation visit in May 2012; therefore, you will prepare Document 28.1 for the calendar year 2011. • Please complete Document 28.1 for two cohorts – the groups of students scheduled to graduate in September 2011 and the group of students scheduled to graduate in October 2011.
