    (a) The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, under

    (1) Establish procedures by which an unaccredited educational 
institution can apply for DoD designation as a qualifying educational 
institution.
    (2) Publish in the Federal Register DoD requirements and procedures 
for an unaccredited educational institution to apply for designation as 
a qualifying education institution.
    (3) Annually, provide to the Secretaries of the Military Departments 
a list of those unaccredited educational institutions that have been 
approved by the Department of Defense as a qualifying educational 
institution. This list shall include the year or years for which 
unaccredited educational institutions are designed as qualifying 
educational institutions.
    (b) The Secretaries of the Military Departments shall establish 
procedures to ensure that after September 30, 1995, those Reserve 
component officers selected for appointment to a grade above First 
Lieutenant in the Army Reserve, Air Force Reserve, or Marine Corps 
Reserve, or Lieutenant (Junior Grade) in the Naval Reserve, or for 
officers to be federally recognized in a grade above First Lieutenant as 
a member of the Army National Guard or Air National Guard, who are 
required to hold a baccalaureate degree, were awarded a baccalaureate 
degree from a qualifying educational institution before appointment to 
the next higher grade. For a degree from an unaccredited educational 
institution that has been recognized as qualifying educational 
institution by the Department of Defense to satisfy the educational 
requirements of 10 U.S.C. 12205, the degree must not have been awarded 
more than 8 years before the date the officer is to be appointed, or 
federally recognized, in the grade of Captain in the Army Reserve, Army 
National Guard, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, or Marine Corps
