Dear students, I want to share an important update with you directly. On July 14, 2026, the Council on Occupational Education (COE), Maestro College's institutional accreditor, notified us that it has taken action to drop the College from accredited status, with an effective date of October 13, 2026, unless the decision is modified through the available reconsideration and appeal processes. Our immediate focus is on preparing a request for reconsideration and a formal appeal. We are working closely with our legal counsel, academic leadership, and administrative teams to present additional information and pursue every available opportunity for the decision to be reconsidered. The first filing deadline is August 2, 2026, and the review process may take several months. During this process, classes, academic support, and student services will continue. You should continue attending your courses and making progress toward your educational goals. I understand this news may create uncertainty, and I want you to know that our commitment to you has not changed. Every decision we make throughout this process will be guided by what is in the best interest of our students. Maestro College was founded to provide an accessible, flexible, and career-focused educational opportunity for students whose lives do not always fit the traditional higher education model. That mission remains at the center of everything we do. While I cannot predict the outcome of the reconsideration or appeal process, I can promise that we will pursue it diligently, communicate with honesty and transparency, and keep students informed as significant developments occur. At this time, you do not need to take any action. Please continue your studies as planned. If circumstances change in a way that affects your education, financial aid, or available options, we will communicate with you promptly and provide clear guidance. Thank you for the trust you have placed in Maestro College. We remain committed to supporting you throughout this process.
