Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 32 - Rehabilitation And Disabilities › Part 22 - Office of Vocational Rehabilitation for the Blind, Resource Guide › Section 32-22-3.14 - POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION SERVICES › Section 32-22-3.14.2 - Accreditation Standards

Current through June 25, 2024
The Agency will not authorize funds to an institution (school) that is not accredited, licensed, or approved by the appropriate accrediting or licensing authority. Schools with provisional accreditation may be used. However, the counselor is to use caution when a client selects to attend one of these schools. If a school loses its accreditation during the school year, the counselor is to notify the client immediately and the Agency funds will cease at the end of that semester. Before sponsoring a client at any institution (including private and/or out-of state institutions, short term training programs, and correspondence courses) that does not appear on the listing provided by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (located at the end of this sub-section), the counselor should contact the State Coordinator for Post-secondary Education Services for further investigation of the school's accreditation status.
The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Education has provided the Agency with the following list of schools that are approved by the Mississippi Commission on College Accreditation, and fully accredited members of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for the current school year:
