CACREP

Happy spring graduation!

The Department of Education (ED) has finalized its Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) rule, which will exclude Mental Health Counseling programs from professional degree status beginning July 1, 2026.

Despite the decision, we’ll continue to advocate for professional degree status for Counselors through congressional engagement, student support, and professional organization collaboration.

We encourage you to join us and call your legislators. Learn more about the ED’s decision and its consequences at https://bit.ly/DOE-RISE

CACREP will be at ACA! This interactive session provides an opportunity for CACREP to share updates on current accreditation standards, policies, and the accreditation management system. It also allows counselor educators to engage with CACREP Board members and staff to ask questions and share information about what is occurring in their program, institution, and/or state that is influencing professional counselor preparation and counseling practice. We hope to see you there!
