| St. Regis is Nationally
Chartered (1984) and FULLY ACCREDITED by the Higher
Education Commission of the Education Ministry of Liberia,
which grants recognition to post-secondary education
institutions in Liberia including University of Liberia
and Cuttington University College.
The Republic of Liberia is one of the earliest United
Nations Educational Organization UNESCO
Higher Education Partners, and a historical American
colony. St. Regis University is accredited as
a degree-awarding post-secondary institution of higher
education in the form of a university by the National
Commission on Higher Education, the only Higher
Education accrediting authority of the Ministry
of Education in the Government of Liberia. |
 |
 |
|
| |
| Federal
accreditation by a National Government represents the highest
form of globally accepted, legal and valid accreditation of
a college or university, and the validity of awarded academic
degrees. |
| |
| 'Degree
evaluators in the United States and abroad have concluded
that if a foreign college or university is recognized and
accredited by a nation's Ministry of Education, it is viewed
to be equal of a regionally or nationally accredited USA degree,
and of a nationally recognized degree in other countries.' |
| |
| St. Regis
University is dedicated to meet and often exceeds all current
academic, professional and legal standards of higher education
credentialing in the Distance Education arena. |

University programs are flexible, but thorough, taking into
consideration the outcome of the assessment of many years
of experience, research, coursework, papers, and/or testing-out
as a means of measuring competency thus allowing the student
many options beyond formal education. |
| |
| St. Regis
University places heavy emphasis on what students actually
know and what they can produce by reviewing assignments, examinations,
and measuring all forms of learning. |
| |
| St. Regis
places less emphasis on “systems” and more emphasis
on “'outcomes”. |
| |
| St. Regis
University has submitted documentation of degree programs,
descriptions of course/course equivalency completion, curriculum,
catalog, assessment manual, policies and all required criteria
meeting the very high standards required to gain recognition
by the Education Ministry of Liberia. |
| |
| In addition
to this accreditation, the university is in the application
process for listing in The International Handbook of Universities
(a UNESCO publication).
This listing in the Handbook is widely accepted as equivalent
to "accreditation" by registrars worldwide. It
is however, not the only standard of “recognition”
used. |

| St. Regis
University is listed online with UNESCO, United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization, established on 16th
of November 1945. It has its headquarters in Paris, France
and 73 field offices and units in different parts of the world.

| It is
important to understand that the US government does not accredit
non-US schools and that other governments do not accredit
US schools. Each country's minister of education or department
of education provides for the recognition or accreditation
of its own country's schools only. |

| |
| In general,
in the US, any evaluation agency that is a member of one of
more of the following organizations are generally accepted
by employers and other colleges and universities: AACRAO (The
American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions
Officers), NAFSA (The Association of International Educators),
AICE (The Association of International Credential Evaluators,
Inc), NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation
Services). |
| |
| St. Regis
University is a foreign distance learning university. One
of the recommendations of the National Council on the Evaluation
of Foreign Education Credentials is that the Foreign Government
must accredit the university or institution. This institution
is fully accredited by the Government of Liberia. |
| |
| In other
countries you would use the recognized evaluation agencies
that evaluate for your home country. For many countries the
same evaluation agencies that evaluate for the US would evaluate
for Canada, Europe etc. Ask the agency that you use if they
evaluate for Canadian, Asian, European etc., equivalencies. |
| |
| The equivalency
of St. Regis University degrees to US RA and Canadian degrees
has been established by several recognized agencies. It is
important that you check with your employer and with the colleges
or universities that you plan to attend to learn of their
requirements. |
| |
| There
are several agencies that will contact a potential employer
on your behalf and inquire as to acceptance of any degree.
