Dear SON Community:

The School of Nursing at the University of Mobile will be reviewed for re-accreditation October 28-29, 2024 by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). This will be an evaluation of its undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and post-master’s certificate programs.

In accordance with CCNE’s procedures, the Commission provides the opportunity for program constituents and other interested parties to submit, in writing, third-party comments concerning a program’s qualifications for accreditation.

Third-party comments for baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs must relate to the CCNE Standards for Accreditation of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Programs (2018) for education programs.

Written third-party comments regarding programs must be received by CCNE by no later than 21 days prior to the first day of the scheduled on-site evaluation. Only signed comments are accepted by CCNE. CCNE shares third-party comments with members of the evaluation team prior to the visit, but at no time during the review process are these comments shared with the program. During its review of the program, the evaluation team considers third-party comments that relate to the accreditation standards. All third-party comments submitted to CCNE must be written in English, consistent with CCNE's policy on Conduct of Business in English.

Comments must be received by September 27, 2024, 21 business days prior to the first day of the on-site evaluation.

If you would like to submit a third-party comment for a program currently under review, please submit to thirdpartycomments@ccneaccreditation.org.

Or, if you prefer, mail comments to:

Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education
Attn: Third-Party Comments
655 K Street, NW, Suite 750
Washington, DC 20001

If you have any questions about this process, please contact CCNE staff at (202) 887-6791 ext. 268.

Sincerely,
Jessica Garner, DNP, CRNP, FNP-C, CNE
