Northeast Lakeview ultimately gained accreditation by the SACSCOC during the 2017 Annual Meeting of which the action was announced on December 5, 2017. Prior to gaining full accreditation, NLC students were able to receive federal financial aid (this excludes veterans funding) and nearly all Texas universities accept transfer credits from NLC provided they are in the Core.

Northeast Lakeview functions as an outreach site of San Antonio College so students can attend classes at Northeast Lakeview but enroll at SAC.
