Education Department Restricts Two Career School Accreditors, Maintains Third's Recognition

The U.S. Department of Education has continued federal recognition for three career education accrediting agencies: NACCAS, COE, and ACCSC. However, NACCAS and COE face immediate restrictions, preventing them from accrediting new institutions and pausing pending applications. ACCSC's recognition continues without immediate restrictions but requires full compliance within 12 months. These decisions significantly impact career education institutions and their eligibility for federal student aid programs.
