Late Submissions Policy

Each accredited program and agency is required to submit an annual report on their Quality Enhancement Plan. This report, along with their annual fee, must be submitted and reviewed by the Executive Director in order for them to maintain current accreditation status. Once the annual report has been reviewed and accepted by the Executive Director, AELCS will send the program a gold seal indicating their current status (year two or year three).

If this annual report is not received in the AELCS office within 15 days of the anniversary date, a letter will be sent with a final date to submit. If the report is not submitted by this final due date, the program’s accreditation status will be revoked.

If accreditation status is revoked, the program or agency must reapply to the accreditation agency and begin the accreditation process again.
