reaccreditation
Official status renewal
Reaccreditation is the process of renewing official certification or approval, typically for educational institutions or professional programs.
Schools and hospitals undergo periodic reaccreditation to confirm they still meet established standards: The university is preparing for reaccreditation next year.
The process usually involves self-assessment, documentation, and external review.
