University of Northern Virginia loses state authorization

Now they ride Traveller back into the mist.

 

They charged $365 to $560 per credit hour for an uaccredited program. That alone was worthy of a shutdown. Good riddance. They won't be missed.

 

Why did they lose their state approval?

 

They were ordered by the state to become accredited in 5 years, they failed to do it, and the state cut them.

 

I didn't realize that it had been that long ago that they lost their ACICS accreditation.

 

This is good news!

 

Time flies when you're having fun Teddy.

 

Here is a more colorful explanation of the school's situation:

The University of Northern Virginia is ordered to close in Annandale after 15 years

Holy cow! My college missed out on all of this! How could they? :shock:

They should lose their operational authorization because most people in Northern Virginia do not know they exist. If you ask anybody in Northern Virginia about University of Northern Virginia; they might think you are asking about University of Virginia at Northern Virginia or Northern Virginia Community College (aka NOVA).

 

This standard would apply to (almost?) all DETC-accredited schools--which would fail.

The (DETC-accredited) University of Fairfax, right here in Northern Virginia, fits that point precisely. As does Steve's point about VIU.

 

Or maybe not. The University of Northern Virginia has reopened at a new location -- in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

 

I wonder how their geography department is.

 

But two days after CalDog's posting, the Sioux Falls newspaper reported (on March 6) that they had closed their South Dakota campus:
Troubled Virginia university's website removes references to South Dakota campus (3/6/14 2:23 pm)

 

I get that this place is a scam, but when I first read the name I thought Gee, that's a pretty good name.
