For new programs, the annual fee becomes effective with the first full academic year for which the program has accreditation status. See the current Fee Schedule (ACOTE Policy V.A. Fees). Invoices for the 2025 annual fees will be emailed to program directors no later than July 15, 2025, and payment is due no later than October 15, 2025. Payments received after this date will incur a late fee.
