Dear Maritime Friends, It is with deep regret that we announce the temporary closure of our maritime school, effective immediately, as mandated by the US Coast Guard. After a recent routine audit, the US Coast Guard has identified administrative errors that must be addressed before we can resume operations. We take full responsibility for these errors and understand the gravity of the situation. Rest assured, we are working diligently to rectify all issues to comply with the Coast Guard's regulations and standards. Our top priority is the safety and professionalism of our students, staff, and the maritime community. During this closure period, all ongoing programs and classes will be suspended. We are committed to keeping our Mariners informed about the progress of our corrective actions and the expected timeline for the school's reopening. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding and continued support. We look forward to the day when we can welcome you back to Compass Courses with improved processes and a renewed commitment to excellence. Sincerely, Julie K. Keim
