  2. We are working with the courts to resolve our issues.
  3. We are also pursuing alternative nationally recognized accreditation options.
  4. This fall, the College will develop Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with colleges and universities in the region, so that if a worst case scenario comes to fruition, students will have options for transfer. In this scenario, the degree will be awarded from the new institution.
