CCNE to conduct on-site accreditation evaluation of BSN program

Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing is pleased to announce that the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) will conduct an on-site accreditation evaluation of the Baccalaureate Degree Program in Nursing on September 16–18, 2026. As part of the accreditation review process, CCNE provides an opportunity for program constituents and other interested parties to submit written third-party comments regarding the program’s qualifications for accreditation.

Individuals wishing to provide comments are invited to submit them directly to CCNE. All comments must:

• Be submitted in writing and in English
• Be received by CCNE no later than August 26, 2026
• Be sent directly to: thirdpartycomments@ccneaccreditation.org

Comments should address the program’s compliance with CCNE accreditation standards and qualifications for accreditation.

Please note that third-party comments are shared with the CCNE evaluation team prior to the site visit. These comments are considered as part of the accreditation review process; however, they are not shared with the nursing program, the CCNE Accreditation Review Committee, or the CCNE Board of Commissioners. Additional information about CCNE and its accreditation processes can be found at www.ccneaccreditation.org.

We value the perspectives of our constituents and stakeholders and appreciate your participation in this important process.

Sincerely,

Chris-Tenna M. Perkins, PhD, RN, ANP, CNE
