Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I get comments to print on my report pdf?
  • Once we are done, will our self study be available for us to see forever? I see that the "Reports" listing is entitled "Current School Documents". How would find it on line at any time -even just as the final PDF?
  • If I have more than one role, how do I change my current role?
  • Can we make it so people can only view and comment on the Self-Study?
  • We don't want others to whom we might send the Self-Study PDF to to be able to, for example, download our budget.
  • Can we use the comments feature to add a short answer to baseline requirements?
  • Is there a way to approve all answers at once, or is it best to approve each response individually?
  • If a team member clicks "Submit for Review" on a question, do they lose editing ability?
  • How do I remove collaborators or team members?
  • How do I know when my VC Chair wants me to revisit a response?
  • How do we submit (once and for all) the final version of the Self-Study, Future Planning Document, and/or Progress Report?
  • How can I remove a collaborator?
  • Our reports are inaccurately listing our Principal as our Head of School. How can we change who is listed as Head of School?
  • How do I upload all of the supporting reference materials to the Self Study?
  • I can't seem to set or reset my password to get into the accreditation portal. Are there some tricks to setting the password that I'm forgetting?
  • I made a typo in entering the email address of a team member so now she can't access the Self-study. How do I correct her email address? thanks!
  • As Chair I need to add my team members to the portal. Do I need to assign the chapters for them before the invitation is generated by the portal? Or can I put in their contact information and then later on assign the chapters.
  • How do Visiting Committee members submit their draft reports on the various sections to the Head of the VC?
  • I can not figure out how to access the dashboard reports/spreadsheets. When I click on the dashboards included in the document center, the cell are blank. How do I access the completed dashboards?
  • Where do we input the answers to the questions in the Visiting Committee report? I am reading the Mission and HR sections at this time and cannot figure out how to "write in" my responses.
  • I'm trying to invite a person but it says the email is already taken.
  • As a Visiting Committee Member, it appears that none of my writing was saved.
  • Can I as a Visting Chair (or others) see what my team members are writing before they hit the button "submit for review?"
  • Can you upload google forms or surveys or any additional surveys from survey monkey?
  • When you hit save, does it send off to the visiting committee. what is the final step that sends to the accreditation visiting team?
