CEC released this information regarding AIU today. American InterContinental University (AIU): The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) has placed AIU on Warning status. In December 2002, AIU's accreditation was reaffirmed for the normal 10-year period, through 2012. In the course of the accreditation process, SACS requested that AIU provide additional information on several compliance matters, with the expectation that those matters be addressed satisfactorily within a two-year timeframe. In placing AIU on Warning status, SACS has advised AIU that while it has addressed satisfactorily a majority of those matters, AIU must satisfy the remaining compliance matters by December 2004, the end of the two-year period. CEC said it expects AIU to fully resolve the remaining matters within the prescribed timeframe and maintain its current status as an accredited institution.
