Keystone is appealing the recent Adverse Action by its accreditor, Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). During the appeal process Keystone will remain accredited, however, a condition of the appeal is that we cannot market to, recruit, or enroll new students.
While you are welcome to submit an application, please note that Keystone will not take further action on your application until a final decision on the appeal is announced. At this time, a final decision may not be known until March/April 2025. Please check back for updates and we will notify you of any updates when we are able.
Parents
Parents and family play a vital role in their student’s education. By keeping the lines of communication open, parents can encourage their sons and daughters to get involved in all aspects of college life from the classroom to student activities, community service, and athletics.
Our goal is to create a continuing partnership between Keystone College and the parents and family of our students from their first semester at Keystone through graduation. With our help, students can learn how to set goals, develop a sense of purpose and integrity, and make good decisions in tough situations.
