Summary

Higher Education Accrediting Agency Responsibility Act of 2002 - Amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) to remove requirements that institutions of higher education (IHEs) be accredited or preaccredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association in order to receive Federal funds under various HEA programs, including student aid under HEA title IV. Removes such accreditation requirements with respect to IHEs, proprietary IHEs, special institutional aid under HEA title III, historically Black college and university capital financing, distance education demonstration programs, and student assistance program participation agreements. Repeals provisions for: (1) the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity; and (2) recognition of accrediting agencies or associations under HEA.
