As part of our ongoing commitment to continuous quality improvement and desire to meet stakeholder needs, the National League for Nursing Commission for Nursing Education Accreditation (NLN CNEA) Policy and Procedures Committee invites your review and feedback on the proposed NLN CNEA Accreditation Handbook: Policies and Procedures (2025). This call for comments is the first step in updating our Accreditation Policies and Procedures Handbook that guides NLN CNEA operations related to accreditation activities. Note that some changes are required to remain in compliance with U.S. Department of Education regulations.
Please review the proposed Accreditation Handb
ook https://cnea.nln.org/resources and submit comments in the box below. Comments should include reference to a specific page or section of the Handbook. To be fully considered, comments must be received by
