What are the appeal rights of schools refused approval to offer programs in Oregon?
The Commission has by rule decided not to serve as an appeals body for applicant denials. Refusal by the Administrator to authorize an applicant school to offer instruction or related services leading to a degree is subject to right of review as provided in ORS 348.615 by an action brought for trial without jury in the circuit court of the county in which the school is located. A school or putative school having no location in Oregon at which students are actually served must bring any such action in the circuit court of Marion County.
