This paper is designed to provide guidance to team chairs in conducting accreditation visits to member institutions of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. It is based on the experiences of a team chair who had conducted 33 accreditation visits, 14 of them as the team chair. It discusses the initial preparation for an accreditation visit, including advice on organizing a portable file system, making courtesy calls to the institution's president, preparing a team travel schedule, and using the telephone and fax to communicate with team members. It then reviews preliminary organizational efforts, such as making team assignments in the self-study report and developing a detailed appointment schedule so that team members can begin working effectively from the start of the visit. It concludes by providing recommendations on conducting team meetings and the visit itself. An appendix contains sample documents, schedules, and reports. (MDM)
