Accreditation and Recognition

IN BRIEF

Tick EUCLID (Euclid University | Pole Universitaire Euclide) is an intergovernmental, treaty-based university, accredited in its charter and further accredited by the Participating States / Headquarters States through specific actions and certifications.

Tick (Letter from the United Nations, Office of Human Resources Management, reference 0218/RCA/MP/ONU-12, dated 10 December 2012): "the UN Secretariat recognize[s] Euclide - Pole Universitaire Euclide and the other four UN institutions ... as being accredited."

Tick EUCLID's constitutive treaty, as registered and published in the United Nations Treaty Series (certificates 49006/49007): "EUCLID is chartered to confer diplomas, degrees and completion certificates accredited by the ministries of Education of the Participating Parties. (Article 1)"

Tick EUCLID, (or as applicable the EUCLID Secretary General), is a member of institutional associations requiring government recognition/accreditation, notably AAU and IAUP.

Tick EUCLID is certified in the "UNESCO Portal to Recognized Higher Education Institutions" documents posted by the National UNESCO Commission of its Headquarters State.

EUCLID (Pôle Universitaire Euclide | Euclid University) is certified as a recognized/accredited institution of higher learning by according to the rules governing intergovernmental universities: (1) by its headquarter's state ministry of higher education, (2) by other Participating States according to their own rules. Accordingly, EUCLID has been registered and recognized as a "recognized / accredited" intergovernmental university with the international authorities of reference.

As stated by the United Nations (Office of Human Resources Management):

"both IAU/UNESCO and the UN Secretariat recognize Euclide- Pole Universitaire Euclide and the other four UN institutions ... as being accredited" (0218/RCA/MP/ONU-12, dated 10 December 2012).

Prospective students should take note that governmental and intergovernmental bodies are the only official and reliable authorities in the matter of university status and accreditation/recognition. 

Private and sub-national entities claiming authority to approve or disapprove institutions of higher learning are often deceptive, or fraudulent.

Typically, public national (or regional) universities are accredited by a single 'accrediting body' which is either the ministry of education (MOE) or a specialized agency approved by the ministry of education. This governmental approval is deemed sufficient for international accreditation and recognition. In addition, there are private accrediting bodies with various levels of validity and recognition (the United States does not have a ministry of education and relies on private accreditors).

Typically, public intergovernmental universities are now accredited by the accrediting body of their headquarters state (Ministry of Education / Higher Education or other delegated public agency), in addition to other accreditation and recognition statements incorporated in their charter. The following table summarizes the accreditation processes and documentation for the major intergovernmental universities including EUCLID:

Accordingly, EUCLID derives its academic accreditation from proper government authorization under international law and from their ministries of education, not private or sub-national agencies. Inasmuch as most countries are legally bound to recognize UN-registered treaties based on the principle of reciprocity, the assurance of international validity under all national legal frameworks for recognition is extremely high.

Finally, EUCLID's academic accreditation is also recognized and reaffirmed by the following intergovernmental organizations: ICCI, CAFRAD, ECOWAS (see below).
