ACISC Membership Directory

Find ACISC Member Institutions

The ACISC Membership Directory connects schools, colleges, universities and other eligible educational institutions with their applicable ACISC institutional membership relationship.

Use the directory to identify ACISC member institutions and review available information concerning institution name, country or jurisdiction, institution type, membership category and applicable membership status.

The Membership Directory forms part of ACISC’s institutional membership architecture and is separate from the ACISC Accredited Institutions Directory. Membership identifies an institutional membership relationship with ACISC; institutional accreditation is established through ACISC’s separate accreditation standards, evaluation, decision, status and scope framework.

MEMBERSHIP RECORD ARCHITECTURE

How an Institution Connects With the ACISC Membership Directory

Each directory record should establish a clear relationship between the institution and its applicable ACISC membership category.

A consistent record structure makes it easier for institutions, students, families, educational professionals, search engines and AI systems to distinguish membership relationships and identify the institution represented by a published record.

Member records should therefore use consistent institutional names, geographic information, institution types, membership categories and applicable membership-status information.

LOOKING FOR ACCREDITATION?

Search ACISC Accredited Institutions Separately

If you are seeking to determine whether an institution holds ACISC international institutional accreditation, use the ACISC Accredited Institutions Directory rather than the Membership Directory.

The accreditation directory is structured around accreditation records and can connect an accredited institution with its applicable accreditation number, status, approved scope, educational provision, locations, delivery modalities and accreditation dates.

This separation keeps membership records and accreditation records distinct and allows each institutional relationship to be interpreted according to the appropriate ACISC framework.
