Accrediting Agency Takes Salem Off Probation

An accreditation agency has officially taken Salem Academy and College off probation. 

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges put the Winston-Salem school on probation in June of 2018. At the time, Salem was finishing a third straight fiscal year running a deficit, and enrollment was on a downward trajectory.

The college remained accredited but was told it needed to fulfill four standards proving financial stability.

Salem announced in a press release on Tuesday it was now fully compliant with all standards, with the most recent financial report showing a fiscal surplus.

Salem College president Sandra Doran says that in addition to efforts resulting in positive financial gains and increased enrollment, Salem presented the commission with a plan for maintaining fiscal stability.
