Private Accredited

There are three categories of authorization for degree granting institutions operating in Colorado.

  • Full Authorization - An institution which is fully accredited by an appropriate accrediting association with an on-site review of its Colorado location.
  • Religious Authorization - A bona fide religious postsecondary educational institution which is exempt from property taxation under the laws of this state and whose degrees or diplomas have no state recognition.
  • Probationary Authorization- Institutions evaluated by the Department and authorized by the Commission to enroll students, offer instruction, graduate students and award degrees under the condition that the institution is continuously seeking and is making satisfactory progress toward full accreditation. Institutions given probationary authorization may not enroll students until the accreditation process has begun and been verified to the Department
