Penn Foster accreditation

[barcotta]

I was just told by an academic advisor at Davenport, University MI that they will not accept credits from Penn Foster because PF is no longer accredited. They said that PF recently lost their accreditation. Has anyone else had this issue? Do you have suggestions?
thanks

Their college classes are not REGIONALLY accredited (I don't know if they ever were--but they've been NATIONALLY accredited by the DETC for at least the last several years--and likely longer.) If they really said that they "recently lost" their accreditation, then I would ask the advisor from where they received that information and why it is not reflected on Penn Foster's web site OR the DETC web site. See below for a search I performed one minute ago at the DETC site:
