Candidate for Accreditation??

[k8!]

Hey everyone! I've been accepted to a school (Salus University) that is a "candidate for accreditation" because it is a brand new program. The admissions staff told me they will be fully accredited in a few years and graduating before they were accredited would not cause any issues in my future. However, i'm still worried. I don't want to encounter any problems getting certified because of their accreditation status. If anyone knows any info or goes/went to a school that was not yet accredited, please let me know!

GVSU was and still is not accredited yet.  They starting in 2014 and I was the 3rd cohort to go there.  Candidacy for accreditation just means as long as they follow guidelines for the first 5 years they then will have full accreditation after the 5 years.  During candidacy they are still accredited, but its like a preliminary accreditation.  Just like when your a CF you have preliminary credential(at least in CA) until you finish your CF.  

Just the fact that a school is a "Candidate for Accreditation" scares off a lot of would be attendees but you shouldn't worry.
