The online, certificate-granting college earned the approval almost two years before its legislated deadline of April 2025. The approval lasts through June 2026 and comes almost two years before state lawmakers’ deadline of April 2025. Accreditation is the first step in a multi-year process for Calbright to begin offering transferable credits, it said in a news release. The college, which is free for California residents and awards certificates instead of degrees, doesn’t currently teach courses for credit.
