If a school has candidate status, does the passing rate on the Naplex factor into full accreditation. How long after the 1st graduating class will the school receive Full accreditation ?

I believe it can play a role. A couple of schools have been placed on probation due to low NAPLEX pass rates.

Somewhat. It plays a minor role upon initial accreditation.

For our school - our last ACPE inspection was completed in March (before anyone completes the program). The decision about our status will be conferred in a June meeting. Our senior class graduates late May, with the process of approval to sit the NAPLEX taking nearly a month. In short, no one will have sat the boards before the June meeting.

NAPLEX passing rates should not play into the decision. Now, if we have horrible pass rates - ACPE will DEFINITELY come to inspect and find out why.
