According to a notice issued by the Peddibhotla Law firm (Link ot article) there is a burgeoning issue that has recently arisen out of the California Service Centers which has broad implications for foreign nationals that were previously “counted” in the “US Master’s Cap Exemption.” Specifically, the US Master’s Cap Exemption only applies U.S. Institutions of Higher Education as defined by 20 U.S.C. 1001(a). In relevant part, among other criteria, the school:

- Must be a public or other nonprofit institution; and
- Must be accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association recognized accrediting agency or association.
Keep in mind that even though your school is nationally or regionally accredited it should still be a not for profit/nonprofit institution.
