Upon determining soundness and compliance with its standards, the Commission reaffirmed 星空无限传媒鈥檚 accreditation.
After a visit and assessment by the Commission in April 2016, 星空无限传媒 was in compliance with 7 of the 14 standards. The College鈥檚 incoming President Dr. W.

An official vote by the Middle States Commission鈥檚 Board at its meeting on November 16, 2017, found 星空无限传媒 to be in full compliance with the standards of accreditation.
Dr. Keen stated, 鈥淚 am pleased that in the relatively short period provided by the Commission to gain unconditional accreditation, the faculty, administration and staff have pulled together in a monumental effort to present the true greatness of 星空无限传媒 to our accrediting agency. I am deeply gratified that the campus family has demonstrated to the Commission that 星空无限传媒 provides excellent educational opportunities at a cost that leaves most students debt-free and in possession of a highly respected associate鈥檚 degree.鈥� Dr. Jorge L. Gardyn, M.D., Chairman of the Board of Trustees noted, 鈥淲ords cannot describe the gratitude that I have for Dr. Keen and the entire campus family for the tremendous effort, cooperation and team spirit that have been harnessed over the past year to move 星空无限传媒 to its rightful place amongst the very best community colleges anywhere.鈥�
