Reminders During the PAASCU Visit

Consider our guest accreditors like the guests we have when we have special occasions at home. Treat them warmly and kindly.

1. Come to class on time.
2. Wear smart casual clothes; ideally collared shirt and pants for the gentlemen, skirt or slacks and blouse for the ladies.
3. Participate in class actively and naturally.
4. If you see the accreditors in the lobby, be courteous and greet them.
5. Refrain loitering in the hallways.
6. Find time to read what is PAASCU Accreditation.

Put your best foot forward. Good luck to all of us! :-)
