Public Notice of Commission Actions
In accordance with 34 CFR Section 602.26, ACCSCT provides the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, appropriate State licensing or authorizing agencies, appropriate accrediting agencies, and the public written notice of its accrediting decisions no later than 30 days after it makes the decision.
This public notice includes ACCSCT’s decisions to award initial accreditation, to renew an institution’s accreditation, to place an institution on Probation and final decisions to deny or withdraw an institution’s accreditation.
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
