Five Year Revalidation Preparation

NCCRS credit recommendations are revalidated every five years, unless significant changes prompt an earlier review. Preparation for the five-year review is similar to that for the initial evaluation session and involves the same documentation, except that the evaluation team may wish to look back over the intervening five years. Record keeping is essential to document how each course has been administered during this time.

Please keep a representative sample of student completed and graded work for three students from a variety of sections of each course per year, representing a range of grades from acceptable to unacceptable performance. These samples of student work should be kept for five years and set aside for the team's review at our five-year revalidation visit. After that next visit, you may purge your files and begin the process over again.

NCCRS requires that class rosters and student records, showing the actual grade each student received for successful completion of a course, be retained indefinitely, and at least during the time that the organization is a member of NCCRS.
