Part of this process includes the provision of a third-party comment period, which allows anyone, including students, alumni, faculty, staff, community and practice partners, and members of the public, to share relevant information about the programs directly with CEPH. If you have any information about the programs you would like to share with CEPH to inform their review, please send your comments to submissions@ceph.org by September 24, 2024.
