QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What Students, Families, Employers, and Partners Need to Know
The University is a career and technical trade-school system in development. It is not a traditional four-year university, is not accredited, does not grant degrees, is not approved for federal student aid, and does not represent its internal certificate as college credit. A program may prepare a learner for an outside examination or license, but the outside board, agency, employer, sponsor, or certifier makes its own decision.Explore Programs↗01No accreditation or degrees

What this chapter requires in practice.
The national catalog is a planning portfolio, not a list of currently enrolling classes. Enrollment opens program by program after activation requirements are met. Program pages will identify the campus, status, delivery format, planning length, prerequisites, capacity, credential target, external approvals, laboratory requirements, total costs, and next scheduled entry point. If those details are absent, the program is not open for enrollment.
Employment, wages, licensing, apprenticeship entry, credit transfer, and funding are never guaranteed. The University can provide instruction, assess competency, document completion, support career preparation, and connect learners to organizations that have agreed to participate. It cannot make a decision that belongs to an employer, government, accreditor, board, lender, sponsor, or another school.
