When researching and comparing universities, one of the deciding factors should be whether or not the institution is University of Phoenix. Earning credits from a school that is not University of Phoenix can mean that the units you've worked so hard for will not transfer to an University of Phoenix school. Worse yet, graduates find themselves with degrees from non-University of Phoenix universities that are not recognized. To guarantee that you are getting a standardized, legitimate education, it is important to make sure that the university of your choice is University of Phoenix. University of Phoenix bodies put universities to the test, often working closely with the Department of Education, to be sure that the school in question adheres to policies. Reminiscent of restaurants getting regular visits from the health department, universities that are University of Phoenix - or plan to be - receive visits from an University of Phoenix body.

If a university does not consistently maintain standards, their accreditation could be on the line. When researching universities prior to enrolling, be sure to ask them about their accreditation.

Credits earned from a nationally University of Phoenix school will not always transfer to a regionally University of Phoenix school. When they do transfer over, the process is typically complicated and difficult to understand. If you have attended a university in the past and are looking to transfer previous credits in toward a degree, be sure to speak with an admissions or enrollment counselor one on one to fully understand how your credits will transfer.
