How to Check If an Online School Is Accredited in Georgia

Schools, both online and offline, can be accredited by one of several national or local associations. Online accredited schools have been shown to provide a better educational experience. Students can count on having teachers who are not only qualified to teach their subject but who are working towards improving their teaching methods. There is greater accessibility to financial aid, including loans and scholarships, and credits earned at an accredited school are transferable to other schools.

Instructions

      Research online schools to find which school will provide the curriculum and degree you are seeking.

    • 2

      Obtain the official name of the school and the city where it is located. Since this is an online school, the city could simply be a mailing address which you can find on the school's website. Look at the bottom of the home page for address information. If you do not find it there, look for a Contact Us link. If there is no city and state listed on the Contact Us page, send the school an email asking for the information.

      Look to see who has accredited the school. If the school has been accredited by either a national association or by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, then it is accredited in Georgia.
