AUPHA is assembling Undergraduate Certification Review teams for the 2026-2027 cycle. Please consider volunteering as a member of a review team for the upcoming spring round. This is a valuable opportunity to contribute to the certification process while gaining insight into other programs’ operations and structure.
Teams typically consist of six members: one chair, one scribe, two reviewers, and two assistant reviewers. All members of the review team participate in the process by examining their assigned program’s self-study, attending virtual team meetings, including a culminating virtual panel meeting held in late February/early March 2027, and contributing to the draft review report. Additionally, an independent reviewer will audit the team’s draft report to ensure that their feedback remains within the bounds of AUPHA’s certification criteria. Independent reviewers are required to have served on at least two review teams.
If you have not participated in a review team before, you are eligible to volunteer for an Assistant Reviewer or Scribe position. Please refer to the Review Team Information page on AUPHA's website to view the descriptions of each review team role.
The success of the Certification process depends on the AUPHA member volunteers who give their time to serve on panel review teams. If you would like to volunteer on a team, please fill out this form no later than September 30, 2026. Questions regarding roles and process can be directed to Anna Dieme at adieme@aupha.org.
