“In compliance with the AVMA COE, UAGM will include the current status granted by AVMA-COE in December 15, 2023, and notified the UAGM on January 11, 2023 using verbatim the text below:

AVMA granted UAGM Gurabo Campus, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program a Letter of Reasonable Assurance – This is a status awarded to developing colleges in the US and Canada. This recognition allows the College to pursue its plan for the veterinary program, and to admit students. Reasonable Assurance is not a pre-accreditation action, by the Council, and does not confer accreditation of any kind on a developing college. 

The Letter of Reasonable Assurance is the first step in the process of obtaining the AVMA COE accreditation. At this time, the program is authorized by AVMA COE to admit the first class. If a college granted Reasonable Assurance is making adequate progress in complying with the Standards, Provisional Accreditation may be granted to that college on the date that letters of acceptance (admission) are mailed to members of the initial class. Colleges with a status of Reasonable Assurance or Provisional Accreditation are  required to submit reports at six-month intervals to monitor the program’s progress in complying with the Standards according to colleges-accredited-Dec-23.pdf (avma.org). Students who graduate under the Provisional Accreditation status are eligible to sit for the North America Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) to practice in the American territory.”
