In 2024, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges \u2014 or WASC \u2014 issued the school a formal warning<\/a>, citing its significant budget deficit despite an influx of donations at the time. The school also needed to demonstrate that it had reached its goal of tripling its enrollment to 300 students.<\/p>\n When a college goes quiet, the community needs clear reporting. Sustain ours.Give $10<\/a><\/p>\n The regional accrediting agency removed that warning last year after the college made progress in its budget planning and improved its short-term fiscal outlook. Still, the agency told San Diego Christian that it must continue to address its low enrollment and revenue problems in order to reach long-term financial sustainability. The school remains under a notice of concern. If the commission\u2019s concerns aren\u2019t addressed by the next interaction, a sanction may be imposed, according to the written notice.<\/p>\n WASC spokesperson Evelyn Somoza said its accrediting commission is scheduled to review the college\u2019s reporting and data in the fall. An in-person accreditation visit is also scheduled for the spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n She said questions about the college\u2019s institutional operations should be directed to San Diego Christian leaders. The WASC website\u2019s information about the college makes no mention of any program changes since 2017.<\/p>\n If the school were to lose its accreditation, students would no longer have access to federal grants and student loans.\u00a0<\/p>\n About 100 students were enrolled at San Diego Christian College, according to federal government data<\/a>. Last year, the school\u2019s tuition and fees totaled nearly $30,000, and a majority of students received federal or state loans.\u00a0<\/p>\n Enrollment across nonprofit colleges has stayed about the same nationwide, while other higher education institutions, including for-profit colleges, saw a slight bump, data<\/a> from the National Student Clearinghouse shows.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\tType of Content<\/p>\n News: Based on facts, either observed and verified directly by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.<\/p>\n Journalism costs money.
