Announcement on August 21, 2003 The Council on Chiropractic Education and Life University College of Chiropractic today announced that the litigation concerning LUCC廣 accreditation status has been concluded, and that LUCC廣 lawsuit and the CCE廣 appeal have both been dismissed. CCE and LUCC look forward to a cooperative, collaborative, and mutually beneficial process in the years to come. LUCC has held programmatic accredited status with CCE since 1985, including court-ordered accreditation from June 2002 through the conclusion of the special accreditation process. Announcement of June 24, 2003 Life University and the Council on Chiropractic Education are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement to resolve the issues surrounding the accreditation status of the University廣 Doctor of Chiropractic Program. The agreement continues Life廣 accredited status and provides for a special accreditation process that is scheduled to be completed by the end of January 2005. Announcement of 25% Rule Instruction The Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) Board of Directors has addressed certain educational program issues in connection with students who left Life College of Chiropractic (LUCC) and transferred into other doctor of chiropractic degree programs (DCPs) accredited by CCE. In those specific cases where a student was enrolled at LUCC before June 10, 2002, and transferred from LUCC after June 10, 2002, all DCPs, including Life, having enrolled or enrolling such students may allow those students to complete studies toward the doctor of chiropractic degree and may award the degree without regard to the final 25% total credits requirement as stated in the CCE Standards (Section 2, II, C., 1.). As with any student graduating from a CCE-accredited DCP, the DCP must demonstrate and document that each student successfully has completed not less than 4,200 instructional hours, and all courses accepted for transfer must correspond to equivalent instructional in accordance with the curriculum offered by the DCP conferring the degree. Such equivalence must be demonstrated and documented by the DCP. The DCP choosing to exercise this limited exception must also document that each and every affected student has completed all regular requirements for graduation from the DCP granting the degree.
