On Sept 6, 2023, IAU was notified that it was added to the WHED Portal providing authoritative information on some 19,800 accredited Higher Education Institutions, Systems and Credentials in over 180 countries that meet WHED criteria. It is globally recognized as an official source of information. Each HEI listed in the WHED is identified with an unique identifier known as a Global WHED ID, which uniquely identifies each higher education institution listed in the WHED. The WHED ID is the first step to seeking Sri Lanka University Grants Commission (UGC) recognition.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) is the apex body of the University System in Sri Lanka which was established on 22nd December 1978. “The functions of the UGC are; planning and coordination of university education, allocation of funds to Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs), maintenance of academic standards, regulation of the administration of HEIs and regulation of admission of students to HEIs.” Being recognized by the UGC of Sri Lanka allows IAU to expand its reach to Sri Lanka to deliver its quality American online education to developing countries.
IAU is thrilled to announce its partnership with Global Education Platform (GEP). This partnership is a testament to our dedication to make learning more accessible and offer its programs around the world and we are delighted that GEP has agreed to be a part of the IAU journey. GEP Director, Denham Perera, and IAU President invite Sri Lanka students to join a live class with campus students in Los Angeles and online students from India, Malaysia, Mongolia, and Singapore. Students interested in studying through IAUonline through one of its approved StudyCenters can email [email protected].
