Formal Notice of Concern from WASC

"The purpose of the Special Visit was to follow up on steps being taken by AAU in response to the Formal Notice of Concern issued in the July 7, 2014 Commission Action Letter following the institution’s spring 2014 Accreditation Visit. A Formal Notice of Concern is issued when Commission finds that an institution “in danger of being found out of compliance with one or more Standards if current trends continue.”

"The Commission acknowledges the great progress made in each of the areas of commendation and recommendation but agrees with the team’s concern that many of these had taken place so recently and near to the time of the visit that it was not possible to determine the level of sustainability and impact required to remove the Formal Notice of Concern."
