Credit Transfer Process & Accreditation
UPI Study courses have been reviewed and recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS). Gracelyn University is nationally accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC). Together, these recognitions ensure a transparent and credible transfer process for all eligible courses.
The American Council on Education (ACE) has recommended UPI Study courses for college credits to its cooperating universities. ACE is a trusted organization that collaborates with over 2,800 U.S. colleges and the Department of Education of the United States, which allows our students to earn transferable college credits.
NCCRS, a government-recognized body working with 1,500 U.S. universities, has recommended UPI Study's 68 courses for college credits, allowing our students to earn college credits in these universities.
Gracelyn University, a nationally accredited institution, will recognize UPI's transcript of NCCRS & ACE recommended courses. Each Gracelyn pathway leads to U.S. teacher certification eligibility in its subject area. State-specific licensing requirements vary, and Gracelyn’s advisors help students understand their best route to licensure.
DEAC is a private, non-profit organization founded in 1926 that operates as an institutional accreditor of distance education institutions including Gracelyn University.
