*Accreditation is a complex subject.  This institution is “institutionally” accredited by a national accreditation agency.  Other types of accreditation include regional institutional, and programmatic accreditation. The type of accreditation can impact important student benefits, such as academic credit transfer and graduate job eligibility.  Prospective students should direct any accreditation questions to the College President before enrolling. 

Note:  For the most current information regarding Approvals/Accreditation/Authorizations, please ask the College President.

Students have the right to review all documents describing accreditation, approval, or licensing.  A request for such review should be made to the President.  The President will make accreditation, approval, and or licensing documents available for review at an agreed upon time and location.
