Currently or Previously Affiliated Institutions

The directory of institutions provides information on institutions accredited by ITAA, those holding certified accreditation status, and those that previously held status, but have since closed, merged or had their status withdrawn. It includes the Statement of Affiliation Status and Organizational Profile for each current associate and certified institution, any Public Disclosure Notices that have been issued, and the most recent action letters from reaffirmations of accreditation occurring after December 2021.

Information provided on the Statement of Affiliation Status reflects the most recent actions of ITAA. Any institutional changes that are currently under review are not made public until final action has been taken.

Organizational Profile

Understanding the Organizational Profile:

The Organizational Profile (OP) provides information on programs, locations, and distributed education offerings. Most of this information is self-reported by the institution. Although the peer reviewers who visit the institution during an evaluation may verify the information, ITAA cannot vouch for the accuracy of self-reported information.

The following terms may appear on the organizational profile (OP) of an institution:

CIP Codes: Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP)

Correspondence Education: Education provided through one or more courses in which the institution provides instructional materials and examinations by mail or electronic transmission to students who are separated from the instructor. Interaction between the instructor and the student is not regular and substantive, and it is primarily initiated by the student. Correspondence courses are typically self-paced. Correspondence education is not distance education.

Distance Learning (Distance Education): Education that delivers instruction to students who are separated from the instructor and that supports regular and substantive interaction between students and the instructor using one or more of the following technologies: the internet; one-way and two-way transmission through open broadcast, closed-circuit cable, broadband lines, fiber optics, satellite, or wireless communication devices; audio-conferencing; or videocassettes, DVDs, and CD-ROMs used in conjunction with any of the other technologies.

Enrollment: Enrollment reflects numbers reported by the institution to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).

Locations: Locations are categorized as In-State, Out-of-State, and Out-of-U.S. Within each category, locations are reported as branch campuses, additional locations, and course locations.

A branch campus is a permanent location with its own faculty and administrative or supervisory organization that offers courses in educational programs leading to a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential. It has academic resources and support services for students and its own budgetary and hiring authority.
An additional location is a place where instruction takes place and students can complete between 50 percent and all courses leading to a degree or a Title IV-eligible certificate or can complete a degree begun elsewhere, or a place that provides access to instruction requiring students to be present at a physical location that receives interactive TV, video, or online teaching. It typically does not have a full range of administrative and student services on site.
A course location is a place where students can complete less than 50 percent of a degree program or a place where high school students receive college instruction through dual enrollment arrangements.

Statement of Affiliation Status

Understanding the Statement of Affiliation Status:

The Statement of Affiliation Status (SAS) describes the accreditation relationship between the institution and ITAA. It identifies the nature of the institution and conditions of affiliation and provides a synopsis of association review and the status of the institution with ITAA (associate or certified, and sanctions, if any). It lists the institution’s legal status (public, private not-for-profit, or private for-profit) and the range of degree levels included in its accreditation (for example: associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s). Specific conditions on the accreditation relationship are also detailed; including permission (or lack thereof) for campus expansion or distance learning endeavors, and any required reports or visits to the institution.

The following terms may appear on the Statement of Affiliation Status (SAS) of an institution:

Associate: The organization has applied for accreditation, but has not yet completed the site visit and/or other requirements to determine eligibility and grant accreditation

Certified: The organization has undergone a rigorous site visit and has completed all criteria to meet eligibility requirements. A certified organization has met ITAA standards for accreditation.

Comprehensive Evaluation: The process used to determine whether an institution meets or continues to meet the Criteria for Accreditation.

Focused Visit: A site visit which examines specific aspects of an institution to determine initial or ongoing accreditation eligibility.

Monitoring Report: A report that is required when ITAA identifies signals that a situation at an institution should change and requests that the institution provide evidence of plans to address the situation.

Placed on Notice: An institution is placed on notice if it is found to be pursuing a course of action that could result in its being unable to meet one or more of the Criteria for Accreditation. Only ITAA’s President, acting on a recommendation by an evaluation team, can place an institution on notice. The institution is required to supply a written report on corrective measures, which is used by the president to determine to either remove the institution from notice or move it to probation.

Probation: A public status signifying that conditions at an accredited institution jeopardize its ability to meet the Criteria for Accreditation. Only the ITAA President, acting on a recommendation by an evaluation team, can place an institution on probation. The institution must provide clear evidence of its progress toward ameliorating those conditions at its next comprehensive evaluation. The maximum period of probation is two years.

Progress Report: A report from an institution that provides specific information, monitors the institution’s progress in coping with change or challenges, or gives evidence that institutional plans have come to fruition as expected.

Show-Cause Order: An order by ITAA President requiring an institution to show cause, within a limited period of time not to exceed one year, as to why its accredited status should not be removed. The Board explains the reasons for its decision in a show-cause order.

Stipulations: Limits placed on the development of new activities or programs, including limits on the size, extent, or location of certain institutional activities.
