When will we know if schools like Nova Southeastern, Palm Beach Atlantic, etc. have regained their accreditation or lost their accreditation do to the probation status they have at the moment?

ACPE has regular site visits - at predetermined times - to assess a school's shortcomings. Typically, the timeline includes an adequate amount of time to address the issues.

Most schools are placed on probation for one academic year. My understanding is that only Howard was on probation for two years - all other schools had one year (and I think one had only 6 months) of probation.

No school has lost accreditation (at least not in the modern era of ACPE).

I would contact the school in question directly. The manner by which the school handles your question is VERY indicative of the manner by which they are dealing with the issue. (just my .02)

There was a school in Hawaii that was shut down...

That school never had any type of accreditation from ACPE so it is a different situation altogether.

yeah completely different situation and time, look for the massive HICP thread from 2004 on this forum for the entire story. they had nothing to do with ACPE and decided to open on their own and later apply for candidate status (no longer allowed...all schools must gain pre-accred before even allowing students into the door for classes).

Would going to a school that has been on probation taint my resume?

mm probably not, there's a handful of reasons why a school might go on probation, some of them don't necessarily have anything to do with academic/rotation quality.

i see, so lets say one of these schools does somehow lose its accreditation...will the school completely shutdown or will they continue to run unaccredited?

well, since it's never happened before, we wouldn't know for sure. I'm going to guess the deficiency has to be addressed, certain students will graduate on time, others will have to remediate if it's an academic issue.

new schools that opened post-HICP were required to have "exit strategies" on file with ACPE in case of failure such that students weren't entirely left out in the cold. I still don't know what exactly those plans entail.

I see what you're saying....thanks for clarifying that for me. I was kind of worried since I live near Palm Beach Atlantic and Nova and they are at the top of my list and was worried they would get shut down.
