NECHE's Commision on Institutions of Higher Education has determined that Perrotis College is eligible to proceed with an application for candidacy for accreditation within two years. A determination of eligibility is not candidacy or accreditation, nor does it indicate a likelihood of eventual accreditation. Questions about eligibility and the accreditation process should be directed to the President of the Commission.

NEW: PERROTIS COLLEGE PUBLIC COMMENT PROCEDURE

PERROTIS COLLEGE underwent a comprehensive evaluation visit for candidacy, on November 10-13, 2019, by a team representing the New England Commission of Higher Education (formerly the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, NEASC).

The New England Commission of Higher Education is one of seven accrediting commissions in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis. Accreditation is voluntary and applies to the institution as a whole. The Commission, which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, accredits approximately 220 institutions in the six-state New England region as well as several American-style institutions overseas.

PERROTIS COLLEGE has been declared eligible to apply for candidacy for accreditation by the Commission since September 28, 2017 (NECHE letter dated Nov. 6, 2017)

For over a year and a half, PERROTIS COLLEGE has been engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the Commission’s Standards for Accreditation. An evaluation team will visit the institution to gather evidence that the self-study is thorough and accurate. The team will recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the institution. Following a review process, the Commission itself will take the final action.

The public is invited to submit comments regarding the institution to:
