Institutional Accreditation

University of Holy Cross is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate, baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degree levels. University of Holy Cross also may offer credentials such as certificates and diplomas at approved degree levels. Questions about the accreditation of University of Holy Cross may be directed in writing to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097, by calling (404) 679-4500, or by using information available on SACSCOC’s website (www.sacscoc.org).

On June 25, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) Board of Trustees placed the University of Holy Cross on probation for good cause for a twelve (12) month period as it works to align with Core Requirement 13.1 (Financial resources) and Standard 13.3 (Financial responsibility) of the Principles of Accreditation. This action is tied to a prior reporting period that ended June 30, 2025. It does not represent the university’s current financial position, which is balanced and stable thanks to sustained enrollment growth and the addition of new, versatile degree programs. UHC remains fully accredited and continues to operate normally. We are faithfully working through the process outlined by SACSCOC. (Letter from SACSCOC)
