EDINBURG - The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has finally achieved a clean accreditation slate as the accrediting entity decided to lift the probation on Tuesday.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges held its annual board meeting this week. On Tuesday morning, the last day of the meeting, UTRGV's standing was cleared.

"We are pleased with the decision, and this news is a reflection of the hard work of our dedicated staff," said UTRGV President Guy Bailey in a news release. "We have made significant progress this year, and I look forward to continuing this momentum in 2019."

The SACSCOC board declared the university addressed the lone concern that led to the latest year of probation, which had to do with a state review of financial aid awards.

Well, it's predecessor, Pan American University which later became UT Pan American, and finally UTRGV.

Glad to see they once again have a clean slate.

2. In that case, I'm happy to share the good news.

The RGV was ignored for so long as far as having quality universities so it's great to see that they resolved their accreditation issues.
