The KAAB Accreditation Committee reviews and examines the program’s response and recommendations made during the examination of the program’s candidacy status for accreditation. If the accreditation committee finds the response unsatisfactory and anticipates a negative result in accreditation, the committee returns the application with reasons.

4. Follow-up of Application for Accreditation

Professional degree programs must submit an accreditation fee within one month and the Architecture Program Report (APR) within five (5) months upon acceptance of application. If the program fails to pay the fee within the prescribed period, the approval for accreditation is revoked and the program must re-apply. Upon approval of the application for accreditation and receipt of payment, the KAAB Accreditation Task Force Committee organizes visiting team, which will proceed with the review of the APR and prepare for a site visit.
