ACCP Center & Coordinator
Procedure, Resources, and Guidelines

What is an ACCP Center

An ACCP Center is an education institution partnered with the Explorer program to offer university courses. It may be a high school, university, or educational institution.  Our ACCP Center partners set their institutions apart from all their competitors by offering their students the opportunity to earn part of their US/Canadian undergraduate degree in their home country at a reduced cost.

​

​ACCP Coordinator:

Each ACCP Center must assign a staff member at their institution as the ACCP Coordinator. The foundational role of the ACCP coordinator, which plays a crucial role in supporting the success of both the partner institution and its students within the program, is critical for the success of students engaged in the program and the establishment of a college-going culture.

 

Role of an ACCP Coordinator:

  • Facilitating the ACCP at the respective institution using materials provided by IPERC. 

  • Ensuring compliance with all policies and guidelines set for the ACCP Centers.

  • Assisting instructors, including reminding them to submit syllabi annually to IPERC and input semester grades.

  • Guiding students through the registration process, managing changes in registrations, and reminding students of deadlines and other tasks upon request.

  • Addressing student inquiries regarding eligibility, tuition payments, and credit transfers.

  • Communicating institutional changes, such as updating and reviewing the course ledger for semester alterations in offerings and personnel, and handling other requests as needed.

  2.  Final examinations for each course are based on the learning objectives provided by Explorer-ACCP.
     

  3. Final exams will be recorded to ensure that academic integrity standards are maintained.
     

  4. The Explorer-ACCP Program will conduct random checks of student examination forms to ensure academic integrity. Additionally, examination forms will be kept for 2 years to maintain records of student performance.

  6.  The Explorer-ACCP Program will conduct site visits or lecture recording reviews at each Explorer-ACCP Partner Center at least once per semester. Explorer-ACCP staff will provide a detailed report of each site visit, explaining what was observed during the visit and providing feedback to the Explorer-ACCP Partner Center regarding suggestions for improvement. The Explorer-ACCP Program will maintain records of past site visits and future plans for site visits.
