· Suggested times are flexible and can be changed to accommodate the institution's needs.
· Titles refer to generically used terms, and reflect an area of responsibility.
· The visitation team requests a meeting room where they can have their private meetings during the visit and also meet with the faculty.
· The final agenda needs to be available to the team at least 3 weeks prior to the visit.
