Annual Reporting Information and Resources

Joint Accreditation uses the information collected in JA-PARS to support reviews that are part of the process for reaccreditation and progress report reviews. In addition, Joint Accreditation uses data from JA-PARS to produce reports as a service to jointly accredited providers and other stakeholders.

What do I have to report by Monday, March 31, 2025 at 11:59pm Central Time?
To fulfill your annual reporting requirement, there are five steps to complete by March 31, 2025:
  1. Accept the terms for the Joint Accreditation annual agreement, located on the dashboard in JA-PARS under “Provider Agreement(s)”. Each year, all jointly accredited providers are asked to accept the annual agreement regarding data submission and compliance with Joint Accreditation policies and procedures.
  2. Enter all activities that started in 2024, and close all activities that also ended in 2024.
  3.  If you provide enduring material activities, update the total cumulative learner counts as of December 31, 2024. Enduring materials should remain open until the end date, which may be up to three years from the start date.
  4. Complete and submit your Program Summary, located on the dashboard in JA-PARS.
  5. Review and update your contact information. You can do this by clicking “Back to Accreditation Management” in the top right section of the JA-PARS dashboard.

Probation is given to jointly acredited providers that have serious problems meeting the Joint Accreditation requirements. Providers on Probation are required to submit progress reports. Jointly accredited providers may have their status changed to Probation if their progress reports do not demonstrate correction of noncompliance issues. Most providers on Probation implement improvements quickly, return to a status of Joint Accreditation, and sustain compliance. Providers cannot remain on Probation for longer than two years.
