Is IASCU an accreditation body?
No. IASCU is a membership association. Membership does not accredit an institution or programme.
Does Swiss registration confer authority to accredit institutions?
No. Legal registration identifies the association; it does not confer education regulatory powers.
Who can apply?
Eligible schools, colleges, universities, education networks and supporting organisations may be considered under the applicable criteria.
Is payment enough to become a member?
No. Admission requires a recorded decision after the relevant evidence has been reviewed.
Will institutional information be published?
Only approved directory information is published, and only after identity, status and publication authority have been verified.
Can membership be suspended or ended?
Yes, where the applicable rules permit and a fair process has been followed.
Does membership guarantee partnerships or admissions outcomes?
No. Institutions remain responsible for their own admissions, recognition and partnership decisions.
Can the IASCU logo be used on diplomas?
No. The member mark must not be used to imply validation of a qualification or award.
