What is Accreditation? 🎓🔍

Accreditation is a mark of quality and academic excellence! It ensures that a university meets rigorous educational standards and provides students with a recognized and valuable degree. 📜✨

At UoPeople, we’re proud to be accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), a recognition that reaffirms our commitment to accessible, high-quality education.

Swipe through this carousel to learn why accreditation matters and how it benefits you! 📢

We're truly overwhelmed by your positive reactions to our WASC accreditation. Thank you all for your incredible support!

We wanted to take the opportunity to answer some of your most commonly asked questions

1. Are you going to change the admissions or academic requirements?
-UoPeople received its accreditation based on current academic processes and admissions policies we already have in place. While accreditation is all about ongoing improvement, and changes may always be explored and discussed, there is no direct impact or connection between the accreditation we just received and any change we may explore in the future.

2. Will my degree be accepted now at other universities? What about countries? Are UoPeople degrees now more transferable?
-As always, the acceptance and recognition of your degree depend on the policies of the receiving institution or employer. Students who complete their program requirements and qualify for graduation after the WASC accreditation date will graduate with a degree from a WASC-accredited University.

Students who have completed their degree programs prior to the WASC accreditation date will have earned their degrees from a DEAC-accredited University. We believe that the WASC accreditation is a significant recognition of UoPeople’s credibility and high academic quality. As a testament to UoPeople’s accreditation, you may share the WASC website, which provides full accreditation details, when presenting your credentials.

3. Will the WASC accreditation be mentioned in my graduation documents when I finish my UoPeople degree?
-Just like any other accredited university, UoPeople graduates receive graduation documents once all degree program requirements have been satisfied. These graduation documents include an official UoPeople diploma, transcripts stating that a student has successfully completed their program, and final grades for each course taken. They don’t currently include any mention of accreditation, but we may choose to change this in the future. We believe that the WASC accreditation is a significant recognition of UoPeople’s credibility and high academic quality. As a testament to UoPeople’s accreditation, you may share the WASC website, which provides full accreditation details, when presenting your credentials.

4. Does it mean you will have more scholarships now?
-There is no direct connection between additional accreditation and extra funds from donors to support students who cannot afford our minimal fees, which are paid on a pay-as-you-go basis. Our team will continue to do everything possible to enable as many qualified students as possible from around the world to access our high-quality higher education.

We hope this helps answer some of your common questions! If you have any others, feel free to ask. Thank you for being part of our journey!
