Accreditation and Approvals
The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality.
Border Institute of Technology is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission which is a member of the Central Association. Border Institute of Technology has been placed on Notice by the Higher Learning Commission. Notice is a Commission sanction indicating that an institution is pursuing a course of action that, if continued, could lead it to be out of compliance with one or more Criteria for Accreditation. An institution on Notice remains accredited. At the end of the notice period, the Board of Trustees may remove the sanction, place the institution on Probation if the identified concerns have not been addressed, or take other action.
Accreditation is your assurance that the Border Institute of Technology meets quality standards established by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
