Section 67:62:02:05 - Provisional accreditation and comprehensive survey

The department may grant provisional accreditation to a center seeking accreditation for the first time or to a center previously accredited to regain accreditation. A provisional accreditation certificate may only be issued upon submission of a completed application and a preliminary comprehensive survey by the department to determine compliance with this article and the requirements of SDCL title 27A.

A provisional accreditation expires after six months and may not be extended, except with the approval of the department to accommodate department scheduling delays, not to exceed an additional three months. A follow-up, comprehensive survey must be conducted prior to the expiration of the provisional accreditation, to determine if the requirements of SDCL title 27A and this article have been met. At that time, the department shall:

(1) Grant a one year accreditation certificate for a new center;

(2) Grant accreditation up to the end date of the original certification for a currently accredited center; or

(3) Deny accreditation.
