Bristol University was a private university established in the city of Anaheim, California, United States, in 1991 as Kensington College. It became a university in 2011, and was renamed Bristol University.
Bristol was founded in Santa Ana as Kensington College in 1991.[1] In 2009, the school initiated an MBA program.[2] In 2011, the school moved to Anaheim and was renamed Bristol University. The first graduating class of Bristol was in 2014.[3]
In April 2015, the US Department of Education placed Bristol on a program called Heightened Cash Monitoring, which delays cash payments to universities because they were out of compliance with distance learning regulations.[4] In September 2015, the Department of Education informed Bristol they were no longer eligible to participate in federal financial aid programs, because the school disclosed a material change in ownership twenty five days late.[5]
The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools denied the institution accreditation on December 22, 2015.[6] As this prevented the school from accepting new students, Bristol filed a suit in federal court and was granted relief, reinstating their accreditation in 2016.[7][8] Bristol's position that the accrediting agency engaged in negligence by failing to follow the proper procedures in removing their accreditation.[9] However, the judgment was later overruled [10] Bristol filed for bankruptcy in 2017, closing its doors the same year.[11]
Tuitionedit
The school reported the average cost to earn a bachelor's degree from 2014 to 2017 was approximately $47,400, and took an average of 31 months to complete.[12]
Athleticsedit
The school at one time supported sixteen sports teams, competing in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association as the Bears.[13] Despite the school's small size, both the men's and women's basketball teams played several games against much larger NCAA Division I teams, including 5 games in the 2015 season alone.[14] Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, track[15] and volleyball. Women's sports include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball.[16]
