Coleman University learned in late June 2018 that the Western Association of Colleges and Universities Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) denied our petition for Initial Accreditation. We received the formal Commission Action Letter on July 18, 2018. Losing our bid for regional accreditation placed the financial sustainability of the University in question. The Board of Trustees and Management sought alternate forms of financial support to keep the school open. Finally, after exhausting all feasible resources, the decision was made to discontinue operations on August 5, 2018.
