Disclaimer

All educational programs offered by Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ACLAS, "we," "us," or "our") are designed, delivered, and assessed by ACLAS, with validation and quality assurance provided by our international accrediting partners, such as the European Agency for Higher Education Advancement (EAHEA) and the International Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (QAHE). Degrees, diplomas, and certificates are conferred exclusively by ACLAS, a private online higher education institution headquartered in United States.

ACLAS operates as a private, independent online higher education entity under U.S. law, governed by the laws of United States. We do not represent our programs as nationally accredited in the traditional sense, as defined by agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (e.g., regional accreditors like SACSCOC). Nor do we claim to confer academic degrees identical to those awarded by conventional public or private universities in the United States.

Our programs and resulting awards—such as degrees, diplomas, and certificates—are designed for personal enrichment and professional skill development in areas such as leadership, digital innovation, and critical thinking. They are not equivalent to traditional academic credentials offered by conventionally accredited institutions.

ACLAS shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or consequences arising from the non-recognition of its credentials by any institution, employer, or authority.

These accreditations enhance ACLAS’s global credibility but are not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or equivalent bodies in other countries.

ACLAS is a CPD-accredited provider for courses in business management and economics, recognized by employers and professional bodies, particularly in the UK and Europe.

Awarded through AQS Certifications, valid until February 7, 2028, recognizing our adherence to global quality standards in education and learning services.

No Automatic Academic Recognition: ACLAS does not guarantee that its certifications will be accepted by other higher education institutions for credit transfer or further studies. Acceptance is at the discretion of the receiving institution.

No Universal Employer Acceptance: ACLAS does not guarantee that its certifications will be recognized by employers—public or private—for hiring, promotion, or other professional purposes. Recognition varies by employer, industry, and jurisdiction.

Jurisdictional Verification: Students are responsible for confirming the recognition and applicability of ACLAS credentials in their intended country or region, particularly for professional licensing.

ACLAS shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or consequences resulting from the non-recognition of its credentials in any jurisdiction or context.

ACLAS employs academic terminology (e.g., "Master’s," "Doctorate") to denote program levels within our innovative, online education framework. These terms reflect a non-traditional approach and are not intended to imply equivalence to degrees from traditionally accredited universities.

ACLAS explicitly states that its programs and certifications are not equivalent to degrees from traditionally accredited universities in the United States or elsewhere. They are designed for personal and professional development purposes and may not be universally recognized by educational institutions, employers, or licensing authorities.

Acceptance, recognition, evaluation, or equivalency of any ACLAS award is determined solely by the receiving third party (for example: employers, universities, professional or licensing regulators, credential evaluation agencies, and immigration or governmental authorities) in the country or context where the credential is presented.

ACLAS does not make any guarantee that an award will be accepted for any particular purpose, including but not limited to further study, employment, promotion, professional licensure, immigration, visa, or regulatory use.

ACLAS complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to safeguard information submitted during verification.
