Name change notes: Academy of Business College to Rhodes College (8/29/00) to Everest College (4/1/02)

Accreditation notes: The U.S. Department of Education has issued a draft program report that identified several findings regarding the handling of Title IV financial aid by Everest College Phoenix. The Department characterized certain of its findings as misrepresentation to students as well as evidence of an intentional evasion of the 90/10 regulations applicable to proprietary institutions. The College disagreed and filed a response to the Department. If the final Program Review Determination from the U.S. Department of Education contains any findings of fraud, misrepresentation or other breach of integrity, the Commission will immediately initiate a Reconsideration process under Commission Policy 2.5(f) that may result in a Reconsideration of the action in November 2011 to remove Show-Cause or may result in the imposition of other monitoring, sanctions or withdrawal of accreditation, as determined by the Board.

Program offerings at the Bachelor’s level are limited to the Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and the Bachelor's in Business Administration. Degree offering of AAS in Nursing is limited to the Phoenix campus.

Prior Commission approval required.

The institution has been approved under Commission policy to offer up to 100% of its total degree programs through distance education. The processes for expanding distance education are defined in other Commission documents.
