Talk:Vision International University

Joshua Reichard, Director of Institutional Advancement for Vision International University writing:

I made the following changes to this entry, originally created by CaliEd; some of the information is either innacurrate or confused.

1) Vision International University achieved temporary approval from the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE) on June 30, 2006. The statement regarding temporary approval can be found at VIU Authorization Page. Religious Exemption is no longer applicable.

2) Vision International University does not make any claim to being accredited by a CHEA-approved agency in the United States. We are very explicity about not being accredited in the United States.

3) Vision International University does not hold Australian accreditation. The accreditation is held by Vision International College in New South Wales, Australia, an affiliated but independently governed institution VIC Accreditation Page, out of which Vision International University was established. The Vision International Education Network consists of four distinct institutions.

4) I expanded the description of the programs to reflect the details on the website.

For those concerned about the accreditation status of Vision International University, we are pursuing accreditation with the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), an effort which we have been working toward for several years.

I hope this is helpful and clear to Wiki readers. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact me directly at jreichard@vision.edu.

Sincerely,
