GENERAL INFORMATION

Change of Ownership or Control

Accreditation of an institution by the Commission ceases at the time that a change of ownership or control occurs. Change of ownership is defined in the Handbook of Accreditation as follows:

(a) For-Profit Corporation — A change of ownership is the transfer of at least 50% of the assets to another person. A change of ownership or constructive ownership of stock occurs at the time a person obtains or accumulates at least

50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or at least 50% of the total value of shares of all classes of stock. Person includes an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation. If the owner of an institution dies or retires, and the owner’s interest is sold or transferred to either a family member or another current owner of the corporation who has been active in the management of the institution for the past two years prior to the aforementioned action, it will not be treated as a change of ownership. A change from forprofit to not-for-profit constitutes a change of ownership. A change from a sole proprietorship to a corporation constitutes a change of ownership.

(b) Not-For-Profit Corporation and Organizations Other Than Corporations — A change of control occurs when 50% or more of the members of the governing board change or 50% or more of the controlling parties change. The membership of record with the Council for the board or controlling parties is the membership at the time candidacy is granted or reinstatement of accreditation is granted following a change of control. A change from not-for-profit to forprofit constitutes a change of control.

The procedures defined by the Commission for reinstating accreditation following a change of ownership or control of an institution are described below.

A. Change of Legal Ownership or Control of Total Institution

Accreditation does not transfer with a change of ownership or control of an institution. The institution must notify the Commission in a letter sent by certified mail or other signature-required delivery service at least seven days prior to a change of ownership or control. Upon legal change of ownership or control and if the institution desires to be accredited, a completed Application for Reinstatement of Accreditation Following a Change of Ownership or

Control and cashier’s check for the application fee must be received in the Council office by the Executive

Director within fourteen days. The application must include the institution’s audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant for the two most recent fiscal years. It must also include the purchaser’s audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant for the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, the purchaser must submit an audited balance sheet prepared by an independent certified public accountant for the institution as of the date of purchase to be received in the Council office within

30 days after the closing date. Financial statements shall adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

(GAAP) and shall be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS).

At the time of the receipt of the Application for Reinstatement of Accreditation Following a Change of Ownership or Control, the Commission considers the change in ownership or control final. In the event that, for any reason, the ownership or control reverts back to the previous owner(s) or non-profit board/controlling parties, a new application for candidate for accreditation must be filed.

Upon receipt of the Application for Reinstatement of Accreditation Following a Change of Ownership or Control, the Executive Director shall review the application and may request additional documentation. The Commission must grant initial approval of the reinstatement of accreditation. The Commission reserves the right to require a preliminary visit to any institution prior to granting initial approval.

An on-site visit will be conducted within 180 days after initial approval of the reinstatement of accreditation. A team (which may include a Commission representative) will visit the institution to ensure that the institution continues to comply with the standards, criteria, conditions, policies, and procedures of the Commission. The visiting team will submit a written report to the Executive Director within 30 days after completing the site visit. A copy of the visiting team report will be transmitted to the institution. The institution must submit a response to all recommendations to be received in the Council office by the Executive Director within 30 days of the date that the report is transmitted to the institution. The institution’s response report, if required, must provide documentation that deficiencies or violations of standards, criteria, and/or conditions of accreditation have been corrected.

2

Cost of the on-site visit will be borne by the institution. The Executive Director will determine the amount of the deposit for the team site visit that must be conducted.

The Commission will review the application, financial statements, team report, and the institution’s response report, if required, and will make a final decision on the reinstatement of accreditation at the next Commission meeting. Should the institution be denied reinstatement of its accreditation, the institution may appeal the decision in accordance with procedures specified by the Commission. If the final decision of the Commission is for accreditation to be reinstated, the Commission may require the new owner(s) and/or chief administrative officer to attend the next accreditation workshop held by the Council.

B. Change of Ownership or Control of a Branch or Extension

If an institution sells or otherwise disposes of a branch or extension, the accreditation of the branch or extension will be discontinued simultaneously with the sale or disposal action that results in a change of ownership or control. If an accredited institution acquires a branch or extension and wishes to continue to operate it as a branch or extension, the procedures required to establish a new branch or extension shall be followed. Should the new owner or non-profit board wish to make the branch or extension an accredited main campus, it must make application for candidate for accreditation.

C. Change of Ownership or Control of Candidate for Accreditation

If an institution that is a candidate for accreditation changes ownership or control and the new owner or nonprofit board wishes to have its candidate status reinstated, a completed Application for Reinstatement of

Candidacy Following a Change of Ownership or Control and a cashier’s check for the application fee must be received in the Council office within f ourteen days. The application must include the institution’s audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant for the two most recent fiscal years. It must also include the purchaser’s audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant for the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, the purchaser must submit an audited balance sheet for the institution as of the date of purchase to be received in the Council office within 30 days after the closing date.

Financial statements shall adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and shall be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS).

Upon receipt of the Application for Reinstatement of Accreditation Following a Change of Ownership or Control, the Executive Director shall review the application and may request additional documentation. The Commission must grant initial approval of the reinstatement of candidacy for accreditation. The Commission reserves the right to require a preliminary visit to the institution prior to granting initial approval of the reinstatement of candidacy for accreditation.

An on-site visit will be conducted within 180 days after initial approval of the reinstatement of candidacy for accreditation. A team (which may include a Commission representative) will visit the institution to ensure that the institution continues to meet the eligibility requirements for candidacy. The visiting team will submit a written report to the Executive Director within 30 days after completing the site visit. A copy of the visiting team report will be mailed to the institution. The institution must submit a response to all recommendations to the Executive

Director within 30 days of the date that the report is mailed to the institution. The institution’s response report, if required, must provide documentation that deficiencies or violations of the eligibility requirements for candidacy have been corrected.

Cost of the on-site visit will be borne by the institution. The Executive Director will determine the amount of the deposit for the team site visit that must be conducted.

T he Commission will review the application, financial statements, team report, and the institution’s response report, if required, and will make a final decision on the reinstatement of candidacy for accreditation at the next

Commission meeting. Should the institution be denied the reinstatement of its candidacy, the institution may appeal the decision in accordance with procedures specified by the Commission. If the final decision of the

3

Commission is for candidacy to be reinstated, the institution under the new ownership or control must complete a self-study and host a visiting team within three years of having been initially granted candidacy.

D. Partial Change of Ownership or Control

If a partial change of ownership or control (i.e., less than 50%) occurs for a candidate or accredited institution, the

Commission must be informed within the time periods prescribed below:

(i) If less than 50% of the assets of a for-profit corporation are transferred to another person, notification of the transfer must be received in the Commission office at least 30 calendar days before the date that the transfer occurs.

(ii) If fewer than 50% of the members of the governing board or 50% of the controlling parties of a not-for-profit organization or organization other than a corporation change, notification of the change must be received in the

Commission office within 14 calendar days after the date that the change occurs.

Institutional Ethics and Integrity

The Commission must be assured that any institution which seeks candidate status, accreditation, reaffirmation of accreditation, or reinstatement of accreditation following a change of ownership or control conducts its affairs with acceptable standards of honesty and integrity. When the Commission has any cause to believe that a candidate or accredited institution has acted in an unethical or untruthful manner, it will evaluate the matter and take appropriate action as described in the policies governing statuses (Section IV.E.1. Possible Commission Decisions).

If an institution misrepresents itself in documents filed with the Commission for purposes of candidate status, accreditation, reaffirmation, or reinstatement of accreditation following a change of ownership or control, the Commission will immediately sever its relationship with the institution and may publish the decision.

Institutions must meet all lawful obligations, including those obligations arising from participation in federal student financial aid programs. Failure of an institution to conform to legal obligations imposed by governments and their agencies shall be cause for the Commission to remove the institution’s candidate or accredited status. The Commission may publish an action taken for such cause.

The Commission may bar an individual from being an owner, an administrator, or a governing-board member of a COEaccredited institution if the individual has been debarred by a government agency or another accrediting agency or was an owner, an administrator, or a governing-board member of a COE-affiliated institution that was denied accreditation, was dropped from accreditation, or closed without providing a teach-out or refunds to currently enrolled students. The decision of the Commission to bar one or more individuals affiliated with an institution will be made at the time when action is taken against the institution and will be communicated to the individual concurrently with the notice of action taken against the institution. The debarment shall contain such conditions and length of time as the Commission may determine. A person who is barred will have the right to appeal the decision of the Commission. The Commission is responsible for establishing procedures used in appealing debarment to ensure fairness to all affected parties.

Use of Consultants

A consultant may be used to assist in the self-study, but clear indications must exist that the faculty and staff were primarily responsible for preparing, revising, and editing any documents required in the accreditation process. Within seven days after employing a consultant for the purpose of assisting in the accreditation process, an institution must submit a copy of the consultant’s resume to the Council. A consultant may provide assistance to the institution by conducting an on-site workshop for one or more of the following purposes:

1. Acquainting the administration and staff with the self-study process.

2. Providing an explanation of the content of the accreditation standards and criteria.

3. Lending assistance in organizing the self-study effort to maximize staff participation.

4. Identifying the types of exhibits or other documentation needed to support or complement the self-study report.

4

Official Communications

Only written communication from the Commission will be considered official.

All official communications from the Commission to candidate or accredited institutions shall be transmitted to the main campus chief administrative officer or, if applicable, to the institution’s accreditation liaison officer. All official communications from candidate or accredited institutions must be from the main campus chief administrative officer or, if applicable, from the institution’s accreditation liaison officer and in written form.

Institution’s Accreditation Liaison Officer

The accreditation liaison officer must be a permanent staff member at the main campus of the institution. This is the person with whom the Commission staff will discuss accreditation matters concerning the institution when the chief administrative officer is not available.
