Notice of Probation Accreditation Status (July 1, 2024)

Dear friends of Pillar College,

Since 2010, Pillar College has enjoyed a good standing with our regional accrediting body, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). Currently, however, after the site visit in April, we were found to be deficient in two of the Standards of Excellence, namely, Standard V (Educational Effectiveness Assessment) and Standard VI (Planning, Resources, and Institutional Improvement). Because of this, Pillar College received the status of “Probation,” which means two things:

  • A monitoring report showing improvement in these areas is due December 2, 2024.
  • We are also required to submit Teach-out agreements by September 3, 2024, in the event that improvement is not made and accreditation would be withdrawn. Such agreements are made with other accredited colleges on a program basis.

Pillar College remains accredited while on probation. Please know that the trustees, administration, faculty, and staff are doing all they can to show the sustainability of Pillar College.
