Keystone College has received notification from its accreditor, Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), that, effective February 27, MSCHE has “placed the institution into the status of non-compliance show cause” which is a change from the previous status of “accreditation withdrawn under appeal.” Additionally, since the College remains accredited while on show cause, this action eliminates the need for the pending appeal of the MSCHE adverse action. The appeal hearing was scheduled for March 31.
