Team Visit
The Department is responsible for arranging the daily itinerary for each team member and coordinating their transportation needs. The Department will forward the draft itinerary to the Dean for approval. The Dean’s office will coordinate the final schedule with the review team chair in advance so that the reviewers can make travel arrangements compatible with the itinerary.

Virtual Review Option
Programs may seek approval from the Dean and EVCAA to conduct a team review virtually. In these instances the review may span a full week, Monday through Friday, through a series of Zoom meetings. For virtual reviews, each reviewer will have no more than 10-hours worth of meetings in total for the week, including the Dean's welcome meeting and the exit meeting.
