College will submit an application for an approval to operate to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education within six

Accreditation
As a newly formed institution of higher education, San Elijo is pursuing accreditation with the Western Association
of Schools and Colleges (WASC), a United States Department of Education recognized accrediting body (www.wascsenior.org).
All new colleges and universities begin without accreditation from federally recognized
accrediting agencies.
The process for accreditation for San
Elijo College is anticipated to take 4-6 years. "Eligibility" with WASC is expected to be established in 2012. Once
fully operational, WASC estimates that it will take 2-3 years to reach "candidacy" then another 2-3 years for "accreditation."
