Schools owned by the Center for Excellence in Higher Education (CEHE) - California College San Diego, CollegeAmerica Phoenix, Independence University, and Stevens-Henager College - informed the U.S. Department of Education (ED), state approving agencies, and ACCSC that the institutions would close on August 1, 2021.
ACCSC is working with our triad partners and ACCSC-member schools to provide pathways and information for students to help them make informed decisions regarding their options, including transferring to another school. Please note that despite the fact that Independence University, California College San Diego, CollegeAmerica Phoenix, and Stevens-Henager College were on Probation with ACCSC, the campuses remained accredited institutions through the date of the school's closure.
