FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In addition, there will be follow-up review for schools that were due for renewal at the October 2014 meeting, but were deferred.

Accredited institutions, state agencies, the general public and other interested parties are invited to submit written comments pertaining to any school or program included on the Commission’s list. Comments should include information that will assist the Commission in making a decision regarding the accreditation action pending for a school or program. Any comments received will be forwarded to the school, which will then have an opportunity to submit a response to those comments.
Please submit written comments no later than April 1, 2015 to the Commission Chair: chair@comta.org (No anonymous comments please).
