[edit] Accreditation
On June 23, 2006 Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) reviewed San Diego Christian College and had a "series of concerns regarding the functioning of the college."[1] Given the concerns WASC decided "to terminate the accreditation of SDCC March 15, 2007 unless the college shows cause why this action should not take effect."[1]
In March 2007 WACS put SDCC on probation until June 30, 2008.[citation needed]
