"D-Q University, California's only tribal college, has been granted a welcomed second chance. The embattled college had its accreditation revoked in January and closed its doors, but an accrediting committee will review D-QU again in early June.

A revoked accreditation is a veritable death sentence for any school. An unaccredited college cannot convey to students that it is successful in its missions to educate or whether it has the necessary resources to accomplish its goals. Units from an unaccredited school will not transfer to four-year colleges, and such schools can lose government funding, as D-QU did."
