REENSBORO — The organization that accredits High Point University has placed the university on warning, citing concerns about student support services, among other issues.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges posted a notice of the warning on its website.

In the United States, accreditation is required for a college’s students to receive federal student financial aid and for the college to get federal funds. Many graduate schools and employers will consider only those with degrees from accredited colleges.

okay, can somebody tell me what is going on here? I thought HPU was flush with cash and had everything going for it. How do you go from the top of the mountain to worrying about losing your accreditation?

They spend their money on beautification of the campus rather than academics I suppose.

My momma always told her sons never go by looks alone. Better look real close and find out what's underneath all that makeup first.

The organization’s Board of Trustees determined the university had failed to demonstrate compliance in three areas:

Providing appropriate student support services.

Identifying and measuring expected student learning outcomes, and providing evidence of seeking improvement based on that analysis.

Publication of accreditation status.
