Regional accreditation applies to an institution of higher education that was, at the time the degree was awarded, regionally accredited by bodies approved by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Office of Education, or a university recognized by Universities Canada, formerly known as Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC).
  5. Residency means physical presence, in person, face-to-face, at an educational institution granting the doctoral degree for the purposes facilitating acculturation in the procession, the full participation and integration of the individual in the education and training experiences and includes faculty student interaction. Training models that rely exclusively on physical presence for periods less than one (1) (e.g., Multiple long weekends and/or summer intensive sessions), or that use video teleconferencing or other electronic means as a substitute for any part of the minimum requirement for physical presence at the institution do not meet this definition of residency.
