Recognition of an online degree can depend on the awarding institution, programme, accreditation, study format and the purpose for which the qualification is being used.
Check the awarding institution
Start with the institution, programme details and accreditation information rather than assuming all online qualifications are treated alike.
Consider the purpose
Employment, further study and official applications may each have different documentation or recognition requirements.
Verify current requirements
Students should confirm current requirements with the relevant institution or authority before enrolling or relying on a qualification.
