The programs and language institutions listed below were denied accreditation; denials may be appealed. Each appeal is considered by an independent appeals board, whose decision is final and may not be challenged in any other CEA forum. Following a final denial action, CEA is required to prepare a brief statement summarizing the reasons for denial of accreditation to a program or institution. The statement is forwarded to the site, which has the option to provide a responsive comment on CEA's statement within 30 days of a final denial action (of which the appeal decision is one type). The CEA statement, along with any comment from the site, is posted on the CEA website and forwarded to the U.S. Department of Education, the appropriate office at the Department of Homeland Security, and licensing bodies.
