Why Accreditation Matters

Don't graduate with an ineffective diploma.

It's easy to assume that the credits you earn at one college will transfer to the next, but that's not always the case. It's your responsibility to ask about accreditation and transferability when you enroll.

Transferring is easy if the colleges work together.

Greenville Technical College is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges just as Clemson, University of South Carolina, College of Charleston and most other well-known four-year colleges in our state. Greenville Technical College works closely with other educational institutions to develop transfer programs and articulation agreements to make transferring seamless.

Do your homework.

There are several accrediting bodies, and they're not all the same. Ask about regional accreditation, and make sure you don't finish with an ineffective diploma or credits that won't transfer.
