Kelly Calvert, MSN, RN, RNC Department Chair RN-BSN Sumner College 8338 NE Alderwood Rd #100 Portland, OR 97220

Dear Ms. Calvert:

The Substantive Change Review Committee (SCRC) of the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) acted to accept the substantive change notification submitted to CCNE on January 3, 2023 by the nursing unit at Sumner College. The substantive change notification is in regards to the addition of a hybrid BSN option. As a reminder, all programs are expected to comply with the standards and procedures that are in effect throughout the period of accreditation. This includes advising CCNE in the event of a substantive change affecting the nursing program. Substantive change notifications must be received by CCNE no earlier than 90 days prior to implementation or occurrence of the change, but no later than 90 days after implementation or occurrence of the change. These reporting requirements are described further in the Procedures for Accreditation of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Programs (2023). Please contact Madeline Wales, CCNE Accreditation Coordinator, for guidance or clarification, if needed. She can be reached by telephone at 202-887-6791 x272 or by email at mwales@ccneaccreditation.org.

Sincerely,

Philip R. Martinez, Jr., EdD, MSN, APRN-BC, CCRN-CMC Chair, Board of Commissioners
