303.01: Accreditation Expenses

Institutional accreditation expenses may be paid from state funds within Enterprise State Community College's current unrestricted funds. These expenses shall be limited to payment of travel, subsistence, lodging, and honoraria incurred by members of visiting committees, other bona fide representatives, and members of the staff of the accrediting organization. This rule permits payment of only those expenses for which an institution is customarily invoiced by the accrediting organization following a visit.

Enterprise State Community College may pay from state funds the required annual dues of institutional accrediting agencies. Annual dues of correspondents, candidates for membership, and accredited members may be paid.

Enterprise State Community College also may pay from state funds the fees for accrediting individual programs offered by the institution where such an accreditation is an official prerequisite for the licensing of graduates of such programs by legally designated professional or occupational licensing boards or agencies in the State of Alabama or where such accreditation significantly enhances the employability of program participants.
