OCTOBER 4, Tuesday, was a busy day for EUCON International University or EIU, and its administrators, faculty, staff, and students. At 9 a.m., EIU’s accreditation evaluation for Reaffirmation II, a 10-year accreditation status for the university, started.
On Nov. 28, 2009, by virtue of U.S. Public Law 110-229, the CNMI was placed under U.S. immigration control, prompting it to seek the approval of the Student Visa Exchange Program when accepting nonimmigrant students.
On Dec. 11, 2009, EUCON was approved by the SEVP to issue Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Students.
EUCON was granted Reaffirmation I by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools or TRACS Accreditation Commission on Oct. 29, 2013, for a period of 10 years.
On Oct. 21, 2014, EUCON was approved by TRACS to change from an undergraduate-only, Category II institution, to a Category III institution offering a master of arts degree in theology.
On March 16, 2015, EUCON International College was approved by TRACS to change its name to EUCON International University.
On April 15, 2019, TRACS accepted the Interim Fifth-Year Report submitted by EUCON following a successful self-study and site visit.
