"Protecting the public and serving our member boards by promoting excellence in chiropractic regulation."


Georgia Board of Chiropractic Examiners

For immediate release – November 18, 2002

On October 23, 2002, the Georgia Board of Chiropractic Examiners voted to post an amendment to Board Rule 100-12-.01, which if passed by the Board, will remove Life University College of Chiropractic (LUCC) from the list of chiropractic schools and colleges accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) that are approved by the Board.  The decision is based on the University's failure to maintain accreditation from the CCE. 

The Board is scheduled to discuss this proposed rule change at a public hearing on January 9, 2003, at 10:00 a.m. at the Professional Licensing Board's Division, 237 Coliseum Drive, Macon, Georgia.  The Board will vote on this issue at a meeting immediately following the public hearing. 

Should the Board vote to remove LUCC from the Board approved list of chiropractic colleges referenced in Board Rule 100-12-.01, the Board will not consider applications for chiropractic licensure in Georgia from LUCC graduates subsequent to that date, or until such time as the Board may reinstate LUCC to the list of chiropractic schools and colleges accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) that are approved by the Board.
