Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to questions you may have about serving as a reviewer: 

Accepted reviewers will be sent a rubric to use to evaluate their assigned proposals. For reference, please click here to see the application rubric from the 2024 Call for Proposals.

For each category listed on the rubric, reviewers should provide justification for the rating. These comments can include suggestions on how to improve the session, changes that need to be made, etc. 

No, session organizers and speakers cannot see reviewer comments. They may request an explanation as to why their proposed education session was rejected, but they will not receive a copy of the comments left by reviewers. 

If a reviewer believes a proposed education session should be presented at NACAC Conference 2025 but needs to be reformatted, they will have the opportunity to share these thoughts after submitting their “Overall Session Rating.”

The reviewer will have an opportunity to include comments and suggestions re. the speakers.  

Definitely!  Reviewers will not be asked to evaluate their own submissions. 

We anticipate each proposal will take 5-10 minutes to read and review.  The whole process should take about 3-6 hours total across 3 weeks. 

Absolutely! Please email NACAC’s Education and Training Team if you are accepted as a reviewer and want to take on more applications.
