A school that is currently accredited by ACCSC may voluntarily withdraw from the Commission’s list of accredited schools at any time. With respect to school closures, ACCSC makes a concerted effort to work with any ACCSC-accredited member school, as well as with our regulatory partners at the state and federal level, to facilitate the teach-out of an institution that has notified the Commission that it will be closing.
The following is a list of schools that have voluntarily withdrawn or closed:*
