Provisional Status colleges: When a college has
met the ATMS standards for accreditation, it is given the title of
Provisional Status for a 3 year period. The title of Provisional Status
does not mean that the college's standard of education is any less
than a college with Full Accreditation. Graduates from a Provisional
Status college do not have lesser training or a lower qualification
than graduates from a college with Full Accreditation and are eligible
for ATMS Full Membership.
