Student, Prospective Student, Employee, and Public Notification

This notice serves as Maestro College’s official disclosure of an accreditation action taken by the Council on Occupational Education (COE), the College’s institutional accreditor, as required under 34 C.F.R. § 602.26(b) and COE policy.

On July 13, 2026, the COE Executive Committee voted to change Maestro College’s status from Show Cause Order to Dropped from Accredited Status, with an effective date of October 13, 2026. Maestro College received written notification of this action on July 14, 2026.

COE determined that Maestro College did not meet the eligibility requirement that accredited institutions “utilize a campus-based instructional delivery system with at least 25% of the institution’s total Full-Time Equivalency (FTE) derived from enrollments in traditional (bricks and mortar) instruction” (COE Handbook of Accreditation, 2026 Edition, p. 7). COE concluded that the proportion of the College’s enrollment attributable to distance education exceeded the allowable threshold established by this standard.

Current Accreditation Status

Maestro College remains accredited at this time. The accreditation action described above has not yet become effective. The College intends to file a formal appeal by August 2, 2026 and will remain accredited while the appeal is pending in accordance with COE procedures. We will continue to provide updates regarding any material developments affecting the College or its students.

Current Operations

• Classes continue as scheduled for currently enrolled students.
• Academic support and student services remain fully available.
• New student enrollment remains suspended at this time.

Additional updates will be communicated as they become available.
