Dear President MacLeod,

Thank you for your interest in the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). MSCHE accepts applications for Candidate for Accreditation status from qualified degree-granting institutions offering one or more postsecondary educational programs of at least one academic year in length at the Associate’s or higher level, including those offered via distance education, without regard for geographic boundaries. Institutions that offer only postsecondary certificates, diplomas, or licenses are not eligible for accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. MSCHE does not accredit individual courses or programs but rather the institution (college or university) in its entirety.

To be eligible to apply, an institution must be able to demonstrate that it meets the following Pre-Applicant Minimum Requirements:

1. The institution must be legally authorized or licensed, from an appropriate governmental organization or agency to operate as a postsecondary educational institution and must award postsecondary degrees or hold proper legal exemption in accordance with Requirement of Affiliation No.1 and federal regulation 34 CFR §602.28(a).
2. The institution must be in good standing with no current non-compliance, adverse or the equivalent type of action with the state or other accreditors in accordance with federal regulation 34 CFR §602.28(b).
3. The institution must be operational, with students actively enrolled in its degree programs.
4. The institution must have a mission statement and related goals that define its purposes within the context of higher education.
5. The institution must have a governance and administration structure that allows it to have education as its primary purpose and operate as an academic institution with appropriate autonomy.
6. The institution must have documented financial resources, funding base, and plans for financial development, including those from any related entities (including without limitation systems, religious sponsorship, and corporate ownership) adequate to support its educational purposes and programs and to ensure financial stability.
7. The institution must review the Certifications and Disclosures Statement and certify that the information provided throughout the application process is accurate, honest, and truthful.

If, following a review by the Commission staff and peer evaluators, the institution is determined by the Commission to satisfactorily meet the Pre-Applicant Minimum Requirements, it will be allowed to submit an application for Candidate for Accreditation Status.

I invite you to carefully review the information available on our website, https://www.msche.org/accreditation/application-and-candidacy/. You will find details regarding the requirements, timeline, and dues and fees related to the MSCHE Application and Candidacy process. Please note, the length of time it takes for an institution to achieve candidate for accreditation status depends upon the institution’s readiness and ability to demonstrate compliance with MSCHE standards for accreditation, requirements of affiliation, policies and procedures, and applicable federal regulatory requirements.

If you would like to pursue an application for Candidate for Accreditation status with MSCHE, please complete the following inquirer information and return it to my attention. Once I receive this information, I will follow up directly.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Sincere regards,

Diana
