Debarment

The following debarment actions were taken by the ACCET Commission. The Commission may debar an individual from being an owner or senior administrator of an ACCET-accredited institution if that person held a comparable position at an institution that: (1) closed without providing adequate arrangements for the students enrolled at the institution at the time of closure; (2) had its accreditation denied or withdrawn by a U.S. Department of Education or Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) recognized agency; and/or (3) had its license revoked by a state agency. Additionally, an owner or senior administrator of an ACCET-accredited institution may be debarred if found guilty of fraudulent, criminal, or unethical behavior. Debarment actions may be appealed as described in ACCET Document 11 – Policies and Practices of the Accrediting Commission.
