Institutional Database
The Commission on Accrediting maintains an institutionally based database on
member schools. The institutional database is custom-built
using Paradox database software on a PC/Windows platform.
This database functions for both in-house administrative use
as well as data collection, analysis, and reporting.
Annual data are collected each fall from member institutions
via Annual Report Forms. Annual Report Forms information is collected electronically via a custom developed website. The data is then electronically submitted to ATS. These data are collected for accreditation and membership
purposes and serve as the basis for information published
in the Association's reports and publications.

admissions, enrollment, completions, financial data, library
