This annotation is drafted for visit team members to perform accreditations and programs preparing for accreditations. The intention is to be comprehensive and concrete in explaining each item of the SPC to help readers better understand the meaning of each item on the SPC. It should be noted that the conditions and procedures precedes this annotation. Therefore, if there is a contradiction between the KAAB C&P and this annotation, the C&P override the annotation.

SPC is established with qualitative assessment in mind. Accordingly, the SPC is conceptual in nature and some of the criterion may be rather abstract than concrete. The program being reviewed therefore must be able to persuade the visit team how it understands and interprets the SPC and apply them to its educational goal in order to satisfy the requirement of the SPC.

The responsibility of a visit team is not to make a quantitative evaluation based on a given check list, but to make a qualitative assessment on the interpretations of the SPC and how it reflects the interpretation on its education
