USHEAC is a subsidiary of the California University FCE-Amorsolo Foundation Incorporated.
Acceptance by the California Department of Education, the California State Board of Education, the U.S. Department of Education, and several international universities is based on the evaluation of the curricula, academic programmes, and faculty credentials of non-accredited U.S. universities. The evaluation is an integral part of the university's documentation process for applying for regional accreditation, which precedes submission to one of the seven US regional accreditation commissions.
The achievement of accreditation by USHEAC indicates to the public that the Selinus University has met the rigorous quality assurance standards set by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Crucially, graduates of institutions accredited by the United States Higher Education Accreditation Commission (USHEAC) will receive California University FCE degrees equivalent to US degrees after careful evaluation of the courses. These degrees are comparable in level and purpose to those awarded by regionally accredited universities in the United States of America.
Selinus cooperates with the California University CFE for the issuance of the equivalent degree in the USA.
Thanks to this partnership, a validation procedure of the credits obtained allows Selinus University students to obtain the equivalent US Degree.

Selinus University graduates can apply to CUFCE to obtain the Dual degree. Please, contact the Secretariat for further information.
Note:
Very rarely our students, that are managers, professionals and entrepreneurs, need to obtain licenses or transfer academic credits to/from other institutions; most of the times they already have a degree and are established professionals. However, in the United States, many licensing authorities require accredited degrees as a basis for licensing. In some cases, accredited universities may not accept non-accredited universities degrees for transfer courses and some employers may require an accredited degree as a basis for employment eligibility.
Selinus University respects the specific rules and regulations of each country and does not seek to influence the respective authorities.
In the event that a potential student wishes to enroll at Selinus University in order to access a governmental process of public or state employment using the degree obtained at Selinus University, we recommend that the requirements of such a process are explored in detail with the relevant authorities in one's country to assess whether the degree is useful for one's purposes, as the university does not intervene in such processes.
