The Higher Learning Commission announced a decision this week to rescind Mountain State University's accreditation. It won't go into effect until Aug. 27, 2012.
The university has said it will appeal the decision and it has until July 27 to file that appeal.

Colleges and universities across West Virginia are offering to help to students. The University of Charleston is offering a scholarship to any MSU student who wants to transfer.

Welch has said that credits from MSU will still be viable at UC.
