ACCET Standard VIII EvaluationWorksheet
Understanding and Using ACCET Document 28.1

• Things to Remember
•  
• Document 28.1 must be submitted to ACCET on an
  annual basis, at a minimum.
• Report all programs on separate 28.1s. This
  includes reporting full-time and part-time (and
  day / evening) programs, as well as IDL programs
  separately.
• The compilation of completion and placement data
  must be tracked by the scheduled graduation date
  (month/year) as a cohort, not the start or
  placement date.
•  
• Remember that column 5b exists to capture those
  students who dropped out of the program but are
  working in training-related employment. These
  students count as completions, not placements.
  When calculating placement rates, use the number
  of eligible completions (i.e. those who have
  graduated and have not waived placement
  assistance).
• Be prepared to discuss and/or document mitigating
  circumstances.
•

Understanding and Using ACCET Document 28.1

• Things to Remember
•  
• A team will verify that the students you report
  as completions have in fact met minimum
  attendance and academic requirements. If final
  transcripts/attendance records do NOT indicate
  such, these completions will be disallowed by
  the team.
•  
• The team will verify documentation of waivers.
  All waivers reported on the 28.1 must be
  documented, including student signature and date.
•  
• The team will verify placements by calling
  employers and/or students. The team may disallow
  placements, thereby adjusting the programs
  placement rate for a cohort (and therefore for
  the entire year), based on any of the following
  placements deemed by the team to be
  non-training-related graduate not employed by
  the company for at least 30 days, lack of student
  attestation.
•  
• Use the transfer in/transfer out columns
  judiciously. And remember that a student who
  does not complete the program is a drop, not a
  transfer out.
