At A2C Advisory Services, we understand the immense operational pressure and regulatory complexity that face higher education institutions in today’s rapidly changing landscape. The stakes are non-negotiable: successful Accreditation, sustained State Authorization, and continuous Institutional Compliance.
That's why we offer specialized, comprehensive consulting services designed to manage and mitigate institutional risk across this critical A2C triad. From successfully navigating high-stakes accreditation reaffirmations and securing multi-state authorization compliance (SARA) to developing resilient internal compliance policies (Title IV, HEOA), we have the deep expertise and experience to guide your institution every step of the way.
Partner with us to transform regulatory burdens into strategic stability and unlock your institution's potential for sustained quality and compliant growth.
We guide institutions through every phase of the accreditation process, from initial readiness assessments to post-visit reporting. We leverage our experience as former institutional leaders and active peer reviewers to ensure your success.
Conduct comprehensive reviews against the standards of your regional (e.g., HLC, SACSCOC) or programmatic accreditor. We identify high-risk deficiencies and prioritize corrective actions.
Provide expert project oversight, timeline management, and writing/editing support to craft a compelling and evidence-based self-study narrative.
Organize and link institutional documentation to specific standards, creating a cohesive and easily navigable evidence inventory (e.g., HLC Assurance Argument support).
Conduct mock site visits and focused interviews with leadership, faculty, and staff to prepare your entire team for success.
Develop strategic, comprehensive responses to accreditation letters, focused reports, and monitoring requirements.
Managing multi-state operations is non-negotiable for distance education. We ensure your institution legally operates across state lines, protecting your enrollment and Title IV eligibility.
Manage the complete lifecycle of SARA participation, including initial application, annual renewals, and required data submission.
Handle applications, renewals, and monitoring for individual state approvals required due to physical presence or specific student enrollment activity outside of SARA.
Audit and manage compliance requirements for professional programs (e.g., Nursing, Education) across all relevant states to ensure graduates meet licensure prerequisites.
Proactively track changes in state laws and regulations that impact higher education operations, providing timely compliance updates.
We help institutions establish the robust internal policies and audit functions necessary to maintain eligibility for federal programs and operate ethically.
Audit readiness and support for critical federal compliance areas, including the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) and consumer information disclosure requirements.
Develop and revise operational policies (e.g., faculty qualifications, student grievance, academic freedom) to ensure alignment with both regulatory mandates and institutional mission.
Advise on and manage the proper reporting of institutional changes (e.g., new locations, new degrees, modality changes) to all relevant accrediting and regulatory bodies.
