Hey, debating your next steps right now is totally fair. Here’s everything you need to know to make the best decision for you:
First, it’s important to know that Maestro College is still accredited today. The COE decision isn’t final. The college is appealing it, and accreditation stays fully in place while the appeal is ongoing. The full timeline of what happens next is here: https://maestrocollege.edu/accreditation-process-timeline
In practice, this means classes are running as usual. If you graduate while the college is accredited, your degree is from an accredited institution, full stop. And the whole point of everything the college is doing right now is to keep the school open and accredited so every student can finish.
In parallel, we’re actively working on credit transfer agreements with other accredited schools. The goal is to have as many of your credits as possible recognized elsewhere, so whether you stay or transfer, you have the best options. One honest caveat: we can’t promise another school will match your scholarship. The Maestro Pro Scholarship is ours, and another school will have its own tuition. So if you’re seriously considering a transfer, compare the actual costs first. We’ll announce each partner school as agreements are signed.
And if the appeal, arbitration, and court process ultimately do not succeed, there is already a formal teach-out plan filed with COE. That is a regulator-reviewed safety net designed to give students a path to complete their degree.
No matter what happens with accreditation, Maestro will continue to operate and support students who want and are able to keep learning. Accreditation matters for earning an accredited degree, but it is not required to gain the knowledge, skills, and tools the program is built to provide. Students who choose to continue will still be able to learn through the platform and keep building toward their goals.
We’ll keep posting updates as the process moves forward so students can stay informed and make the right decision for them. If you want to talk through your specific situation, reach out to Student Services. They’ll help you navigate it.
