ACCSCT Accredited Schools on Probation
In cases where ACCSCT has reason to believe that a school is not in compliance with accreditation standards and other requirements, ACCSCT may, at its discretion, place a school on probation. A school subject to a Probation Order will be required to demonstrate corrective action and compliance with accrediting standards. A school which is unable to achieve compliance within the specified timeframe is subject to a loss of accreditation unless the Commission determines there is good cause to extent the period of time allowed to achieve compliance.
In accordance with 34 CFR 602.26 (b)(1), ACCSCT provides written notice, via its web page, to the public regarding a decision to place a school on probation.
Arlington, Virginia (May 13, 2008) – The Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT) announced today that the appeal of an October 12, 2007 Commission action regarding schools owned and operated by High-Tech Institute, Inc. has concluded.
In accordance with the Commission’s decision, High-Tech (refer to May 13, 2008 Public Notice for individual schools and locations included in the Commission’s decision) will no longer be eligible to enroll new students in accredited degree programs without new approvals from ACCSCT. However, students who are currently enrolled in High-Tech Institute degree programs will be able to complete course work at their current schools and receive a degree from an ACCSCT-accredited institution. The schools remain on probation.
ACCSCT believes that by having valid and reliable standards, we can ensure the academic quality of programs offered by our accredited member schools. When a school applies for and receives accreditation, the school accepts the obligation to demonstrate its continuous compliance with ACCSCT’s high standards through the accreditation process which requires an explicit demonstration of quality educational delivery
