Accrediting Agency Says Salem College Compliant In Three Of Four Requirements

Salem Academy and College has been deemed compliant in three of four requirements cited when an accreditation committee placed the school on probation a year ago.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Colleges confirmed the compliance after an in-depth review proved the school is in sound financial standing. Salem remains fully accredited.

According to a press release, the fourth compliance requirement for Salem to be removed from probation requires financial stability to be demonstrated over a longer period of time. There will be another review in December.

The school achieved financial stability in recent months after raising more than $14 million, exceeding the goal of a capital campaign.
