accreditation section

From the text it sound that the accreditation process has stopped and that it wont get wasc accreditation.

But when I check it they are still candidate 2A02:14F:1F3:9644:0:0:C138:E503 (talk) 08:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which means they have not gotten it yet. Slatersteven (talk) 11:01, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between they have not got it and still candidate and a situation they have not got and not candidate any more.

The article should clarify if they are in the first situation or the second. 2001:4DF4:5500:E00:95F8:6F96:41BE:FCB8 (talk) 08:11, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why? what does that tell us, they either are or are not accredited, that is what matters. Slatersteven (talk) 10:44, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Candidacy indicates that they are actively working toward accreditation with a legitimate accreditor with some degree of success. It's not the same as being accredited, of course, but it's qualitatively different from simply being unaccredited with no intention or ability to become accredited. ElKevbo (talk) 15:03, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No it means they have not yet been rejected. Slatersteven (talk) 15:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

from the text is sound they have been rejected and nothing is going to be changed about this. 85.65.226.30 (talk) 09:43, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

no, it is also matter if they are still in a process to get accreditation or not. 85.65.226.30 (talk) 09:42, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No it does not, all that matters if if they have it or not. Slatersteven (talk) 11:38, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter to you. Ok, but clearly you can see doesn matter for other people. so why force your opinion? ArmorredKnight (talk) 14:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But we are an encyclopedia, so what does this tell us the reader needs to know (remember we are wp:not a means of promotion). So what would this tell the reader they need to know (what does the reader need to know, if they are accredited or not, not if they have applied). Also its called wp:consensus, its a policy. I am no more forcing my opinion on anyone than you are by wanting this. I have sted my objection, and it is a form no, it will remain this until I say my mind has been changed. It is now time for others to chip in. Slatersteven (talk) 14:37, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fees section

Updated fees section as of 8/4/25. Links that cite that they dont accept financial aid dont seem to support that or speak to it at all. 8.20.65.4 (talk) 18:49, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The university does not participate in federal financial aid programs is substantiated by the citation supporting that statement. - Aoidh (talk) 04:52, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
