American InterContinental University (AIU) announced today that it
has initiated the process to change the University�s accreditation
from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (SACS) to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Both SACS
and the HLC are among the six regional accrediting commissions
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit colleges
and universities based on their geographic regions. According to
Dr. Alan Drimmer, Chief Executive Officer of AIU, "Our change to
accreditation by the HLC makes perfect sense from a geographic
perspective, as a majority of our students are served through HLC�s
region.� As with all of the regional accrediting commissions,
accreditation by HLC follows a process of peer review and approval
by the Commission. AIU is currently undergoing the requisite review
and approval process. The grant of accreditation is at the
discretion of HLC according to its eligibility requirements and
accreditation criteria. Until HLC accreditation is granted, AIU
remains accredited by SACS. About American InterContinental
