Currently, the school appears to hold TRACS accreditation with probation: https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/institution-profile/148283
This link shows on pages 124-125 (129/181) that when the school was Virginia Theological Seminary and College in 1929 and 1930 it held a form of Southern States regional accreditation as a Virginia Junior College: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED542090.pdf
Sadly, it is difficult to see the struggles of a legacy private HBCU Christian University that has continuously operated as a Virginia State-approved school since 1886!
The school apparently suffers from mismanagement. The approval of distance learning programs, such as the DHA and DMin, has given the school much-needed revenue. I sincerely hope the school rebounds from this unfortunate state of affairs. Are there any regionally accredited schools that accept coursework from VUL in transfer toward another doctoral or graduate degree program?
Liberty University accepts VUL credits and American College of Education accepts them. I haven't found many other schools that will take them but if a school typically accepts NA credits they will accept them on a course-by-course transfer basis.
