AMYou may have seen or heard that the Department of Education has terminated ACICS’s recognition as a nationally accredited agency because of scrutiny from the Department of Education (ED) for allegedly failing to provide consumer protection measures.
See affected schools. How does this impact me? GI Bill benefits may only be used at higher education institutions that are accredited by a federally recognized accreditor. Fortunately, just this week, the Congress passed and it is expected the President will sign legislation that provides an 1.

This recent legislation allows the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to continue GI Bill benefits for up to 1.
ACICS. This means you can continue to receive GI Bill benefits for up to 1. How did this happen? ED recently released a report to the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) recommending ED no longer recognize ACICS as an accreditor. NACIQI, a federal advisory committee that reviews all accrediting agencies for federal purposes, reviewed this report and made its own recommendation to end federal recognition of ACICS. ED has reviewed the report and NACIQI recommendations and has made the determination to terminate ACICS’ federal recognition. What’s the current status? If ACICS does not appeal to the Secretary of Education, or if the appeal is taken but the Secretary of Education concurs in the Senior Department Official’s negative decision, ACICS will lose federal recognition.
There is no time limit for the Secretary to make a decision if an accreditor appeals the decision of the Senior Department Official. During the entire appeal process, ACICS would remain a recognized accrediting body and there would be no impact on Veterans benefits. Where can I get more information? If you want to learn more about what happens regarding student aid from the Department of Education (Pell Grants, federal student loans, etc.) when ED withdraws federal recognition of an accreditor, please read ED’s blog post, “What College Accreditation Changes Mean for Students” on their website. What is VA doing? VA is actively monitoring this situation and has worked with Congress and with the Department of Education, Department of Defense, and the State Approving Agencies to identify solutions that would mitigate disruption in your educational pursuits in the event ACICS loses federal recognition.

Important Update for Ashford University Students. September 1. 6, 2.
PMBackground. To recap, Ashford University closed their residential campus in Clinton, Iowa, on June 3. Based on Ashford’s closure, it was determined that the Iowa State Approving Agency (IA SAA) did not have jurisdiction to continue to approve Ashford’s online programs for GI Bill benefits. In early August, Ashford filed an amended legal petition to extend approval of their online programs through the Iowa Department of Education until at least June 1, 2. The Iowa District Court provided a stay until September 1. Current Status. A judge has temporarily extended the stay past September 1. This means you may continue to receive GI Bill benefits for any classes that begin on or after September 1.
However, depending upon the judge’s decision, you may not be able to receive GI Bill benefits after a final decision is made. Given the fact that Ashford has not provided any new information showing how they meet regulatory requirements needed to operate in Iowa, there is a high- risk that Ashford could lose approval for their online programs. Although this gives you additional time to use your benefits, please still take the time now to consider where you are in your educational pursuits and how to best move forward. Unfortunately, VA does not have the legal authority to restore any GI Bill entitlement you have used to attend Ashford University should they lose approval for their online programs. Please take advantage of the resources below as you make your decisions.- Our GI Bill Comparison Tool can help you review and compare alternatives to Ashford.- Student Veterans of America is offering assistance to Ashford students.
