Applicants for Initial Accreditation and Five-Year Reaccreditation
Accredited institutions, governmental and non-governmental agencies, industry members, the general public and other interested parties are invited to submit written comments pertaining to any institution included on the Commission’s list of Applicants. Comments should include information that will assist the Commission in making a decision regarding the accreditation action pending for an institution. Any comments received will be forwarded to the institution, which will then have an opportunity to submit a response to those comments.
Comments are welcomed at any time. The Commission meets in January and June of each year to consider any applicants. Comments concerning the applicants for initial or reaccreditation should be submitted to the Commission by December 1st for the January meeting or May 1st for the June meeting. A list of Applicants for Initial Accreditation and a list of Applicants for Five-Year Reaccreditation can be found below.
DETC’s application procedure involves submitting an application for accreditation to start the accreditation process. The DETC does not have a candidacy status. In fact, DETC counsels institutions not to publicize the fact that they have applied for DETC accreditation because it may mislead students to enroll based on the impression that the institution will surely become accredited. DETC’s process of accreditation takes one to two years to complete.
The following institutions have submitted applications for initial accreditation to the DETC Accrediting Commission (Note: the name of an initial applicant will not be published in DETC’s publications or posted on DETC’s website until after it has completed a successful Readiness Assessment).
- California Institute of Arts and Technology, San Diego, CA
- Grace Communion Seminary, Glendora, CA
- Hawthorn University, Whitehorn, CA
- iTeach US, Denton, TX
- Nations University, West Monroe, LA
NOTE: It is impossible for the DETC to predict the outcome of any school's application for accreditation, and there is no guarantee applicant institutions on this list will successfully complete the accreditation process. The list above is printed solely to solicit comments from the public regarding initial applicant institutions.
