2023.2024 Standards Revisions
The Standards Committee conducts a review of the Standards for potential updates approximately every 4 - 5 years. A Standards revision is a significant investment of time and resources on the part of CSEA, member schools, licensed vendors, and other constituents, and therefore revisions are only made when determined necessary due to a significant and ongoing change in industry trends and/or continuous requests from the membership.
We are currently conducting a formal revision of all three sets of Standards with the goal of implementation with the class of 2026 (students graduating between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026). The process is outlined below. Check back often for updates, and feel free to contact us with questions or concerns.
