Any institution that has exceeded our standards of excellence during our rigorous evaluation process will be issued a crest of academic approval that they can use on their website, diplomas, and marketing materials. It is considered a badge of honor, showing the public that the institution has devoted itself to academic excellence for their students and they intend to carry out such standards transparently and honestly. If an institution is using our crest on their website or marketing materials and you wish to verify their membership, please contact support@aceaccreditation.org and a member of our support staff will verify the institutions' membership with our Association.
