ACICS Loss of Accreditation: What it Means for Schools and International Students

Recommended Posts

On Dec. 12, 2016, the U.S. Department of Education announced that it no longer recognizes the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) as an accrediting agency. 

This decision affects more than 130 Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified schools and programs that are accredited by ACICS in the United States. 

F-1 students must take immediate action if they are attending any of the below-listed schools, as they will not be eligible for OPT extension in the future.

Here is the list of few ACICS accredited schools that are affected due to this announcement:

1.                  American College of Commerce and Technology (ACCT)

2.                 American National University

3.                 Stratford University

4.                   Virginia International University (VIU)

5.                   Colorado heights University

6.                    IGlobal University

7.                    Northwestern Polytechnic University (NPU)

8.                    Schiller International University

9.                     Bristol niversity

10.                California Miramar University

11.                CalUMS

12.                Coleman University

13.                Herguan University

14.                Lincoln University

15.                Pacific States University

16.                Silicon Valley University (SVU)

17.                Southern States University

Along with 120+ more Universities/Schools/Colleges...
