Delta Tech discontinues efforts to seek accreditation, students will lose federal aid

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) – Delta Tech Community College is facing a grim future after losing its accreditation.

Delta Tech was accredited by the Accrediting Council on Independent Colleges and Schools. But in 2016, the United States Secretary of Education pulled ACICS’s accrediting status. ACICS was found to be in violation of 21 recognition criteria.

“The action taken against ACICS was not based on any wrong doing of Delta Tech,” Delta Tech Chief Executive Officer Jeff Edwards said in a statement.

After the federal recognition was withdrawn from ACICS, Delta Tech had 18 months to get accredited by a new agency that met the U.S. Department of Educations standards.
