FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS

Making an Informed Educational Decision

Accreditation can provide useful information about an institution’s participation in an independent quality-assurance process. It should, however, be considered together with other factors that are important to a student’s educational goals.

Students and parents should consider the institution’s legal authorization, educational programs, qualifications awarded, academic requirements, student support, safeguarding arrangements, costs, and any recognition requirements relevant to future study or professional plans.

Verify Accreditation Before Relying on an Accreditation Claim

Before enrolling, students and parents should verify the institution’s current ACISC accreditation status, scope, and applicable period through official ACISC records.

Important Information for Students and Parents

ACISC accreditation does not constitute government authorization, licensing, registration, regulatory approval, or government recognition.

ACISC accreditation does not automatically guarantee university admission, academic credit transfer, professional licensing, employment, immigration eligibility, qualification recognition, scholarships, or acceptance by another organization.

Importance of Accreditation

One of the first steps any prospective student should take before enrolling in a college or university, is to verify whether or not the school is accredited by a recognized accrediting agency. ACISC™ is a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education.
