Accreditation Status Categories
We have discussed in many past blogs accreditation and the quality associated with it. So it was helpful for me when I found a list of different statuses a school could be associated with. So I posted here as well in case those of you in higher education had similar thoughts, below is a list for your review.
Accreditation Status Categories (these may vary slightly across Accrediting Bodies)
1. Grant Candidacy or Initial Accreditation
2. Deny Candidacy or Initial Accreditation
3. Defer Action
4. Continue Accreditation between the Capacity and Preparatory Review and the Educational Effectiveness Review
5. Reaffirm Accreditation
6. Issue a Formal Notice of Concern
7. Issue a Warning
8. Impose Probation
9. Issue an Order to Show Cause
10. Terminate Accreditation
National accreditation organizations perform the accreditation process throughout the United States and review institutions in their entirety. According to CHEA, 34.8 percent of the institutions in the United States that are nationally accredited are degree-granting. 65.1 percent are non-degree-granting. 20.4 percent of the institutions with national accreditation are non-profit, while 79.4 percent are for-profit. Some of these institutions are faith-based or single-purpose institutions, like distance learning colleges and universities. Nationally accredited institutions can be public or private.
