I am writing on behalf of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education to inform you that
on March 14, 2019, the Commission acted as follows:
To acknowledge receipt of the show cause report. To note the visit by the
Commission’s representatives.
To direct an on-site show cause visit following submission of the report. The
purpose of the on-site show cause visit is to verify the information provided in the
show cause report and the institution’s ongoing and sustainable compliance with
the Commission’s standards, requirements, policies and procedures, and federal
compliance requirements.
This serves as the Commission’s official notification of this action. This action appears on the
institution’s Statement of Accreditation Status (SAS). If any of the information contained within
the action appears to be factually incorrect, please send an email within 30 calendar days of the
action to actions@msche.org.
This action is a non-compliance action and includes a request for a show cause report, teach-out
plan, and a show cause visit. An explanation of this type of action is provided in the
Commission's Accreditation Actions Policy and Procedures.
This notification will be made publicly available on the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education website in accordance with Commission policy Communication in the Accreditation
Process. In accordance with policy and federal regulation, the Commission provides notification
of non-compliance actions to the United States Secretary of Education, the appropriate state or
other licensing or authorizing agency, and the appropriate accrediting agencies at the same time
it notifies the institution, but no later than 30 days after it takes the action. The Commission
provides notification of accreditation actions to the public through its website within 24 hours of
informing the institution. Please ensure that the institution’s published references to its
accreditation status align with Commission policy.
The institution is invited to appear before the Commission when the Commission meets to
consider the institution’s show cause report. The Show Cause Appearance Before the
Commission Prior to Withdrawal of Accreditation describes the procedures. Please note that the
institution is required to inform the Commission of its intent to appear before the Commission at
