== Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) Accreditation ==

The Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) is no longer recognized by the US Department of Education as an accreditor. It does not matter whether it is appealing because its accreditation is currently revoked. Do you work for ACICS? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bcf1291|Bcf1291]] ([[User talk:Bcf1291#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bcf1291|contribs]]) 21:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: Huh? No, I don't work for them. But according to articles, they are still recognized, because the 30 days for appeal are not over. This is called due process. As of this time, ACICS is, if you or I like it or not, still a recognized accreditation agency. [[User:Jfeise|jfeise]] ([[User talk:Jfeise#top|talk]]) 21:51, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

However, ACICS does not accredit doctoral degrees. Look at US Department of Education's description of ACICS. Do not revert back again or I will request the pages to be locked. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bcf1291|Bcf1291]] ([[User talk:Bcf1291#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bcf1291|contribs]]) 22:16, 4 October 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: Granted, ACICS doesn't accredit doctorates, but that is orthogonal to them still being a recognized accreditor. As of this time, ACICS is still a recognized accreditor. Please do not change that in the articles until it is official. At this point, they have [[Due process]] rights. They are still recognized. Oh, and Wikipedia relies on consensus. Discuss things in the talk pages before changing the articles. [[User:Jfeise|jfeise]] ([[User talk:Jfeise#top|talk]]) 22:22, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

I need help to understand the 18-month probation period for ACICS-recognized schools. Does it mean that these schools are still technically accredited while they are seeking a new accreditor? The Northwestern Polytechnic University page suggests no, but take a look at the Stratford University page and history. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bcf1291|Bcf1291]] ([[User talk:Bcf1291#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bcf1291|contribs]]) 05:54, 7 April 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: It is my understanding that they are not accredited anymore. The DoE just allows them to continue in the federal student aid program for 18 more months.
: The DoE accreditation pages for ACICS-accredited institutions, e.g., for Northwestern (https://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/InstAccrDetails.aspx?756e697469643d3130353633312663616d70757349643d30267264743d342f372f3230313720323a32313a333420414d) have a question mark next to the agency name that opens a popup which says:
:"the Department is authorized to permit institutions participating in the federal student aid programs that are accredited by an agency that is no longer recognized up to 18 months of continued participation to obtain alternative accreditation from a different, recognized agency." [[User:Jfeise|jfeise]] ([[User talk:Jfeise#top|talk]]) 06:32, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for confirming what I thought. The Stratford University page is being vandalized. Employees from the school (based on the IP address) are reverting the "unaccredited" designation, and I do not know how to lock the page. [[User:Bcf1291|Bcf1291]] ([[User talk:Bcf1291#top|talk]]) 17:12, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
: Only admins can lock pages. [[User:Jfeise|jfeise]] ([[User talk:Jfeise#top|talk]]) 17:14, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

I am reading the instructions on protecting the page, but I do not see the option in the header? [[User:Bcf1291|Bcf1291]] ([[User talk:Bcf1291#top|talk]]) 17:17, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Somebody brought up the issue in a WikiProject for universities:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Universities

How to describe institutions previously accredited by ACICS
A few months ago, the U.S. Department of Education stripped recognition of the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), a national accreditor that focused on for-profit institutions in the U.S. The accreditor has sued the federal government to retain this recognition but as of right now the government's decision stands. The 245 institutions that were previously accredited by ACICS have all received approval from the Department of Education to continue receiving federal financial aid for up to 18 months while they seek a new accreditor.


If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2022/Candidates|the candidates]] and submit your choices on the '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/{{Arbitration Committee candidate/data|2022|poll}}|voting page]]'''.

The question on the table: How do we describe the accreditation status of these institutions? One editor has begun changing the articles of the affected institutions to describe them as "unaccredited." I'm not sure that is entirely accurate as that is how we describe institutions that are not accredited at all, usually because they are diploma mills or scams that have never been accredited or in a few rare instances because they have ideological objections to the process of accreditation. Since in most cases "unaccredited" is shorthand for "scam" my primary worry is that simply saying "unaccredited" paints many of these institutions with a broad brush that is the wrong color.


</div>
Should we say that these institutions were previously accredited by ACICS and are now seeking a new accreditor without actually saying that they're "unaccredited?" Are they "provisionally accredited" right now (personally, I lean away from this option because it sounds too technical and I think it's actually language used by some accreditors for institutions that are in the process of applying)? Are there other options or considerations? I haven't yet found any good language in other reliable sources but I imagine there is some out there for someone else who has some more time to look!

There are 245 institutions that are affected by this so I really think we should figure out a consistent approach for all of the articles affected by this issue.
