WASC/APA Guidelines
(Updated on 1/31/18)
All external promotional communication – online and traditional – must include the following disclaimer: Alliant is a private, WASC accredited university. We are an equal opportunity employer and educator.

Full Version w/GE Disclosure Added
Not all programs are available online or to residents in all states. Programs vary by location and modality; see the Academic Catalog for detail. Alliant is a private university accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). We are an equal opportunity employer and educator. For more information about our graduation rates, the median debt of students who completed the program, and other important information visit alliant.edu/consumer.

If CSPP APA Clinical PhD or PsyD program also add:

The California School of Professional Psychology’s Clinical Psychology PhD and PsyD programs offered on the Fresno, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco campuses are individually accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA).
*Questions related to a program’s accredited status should be directed to the Commission on Accreditation: 

Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation 
American Psychological Association 
750 1st Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002 
Phone: (202) 336-5979 / E-mail: apaaccred@apa.org 
Web: www.apa.org/ed/accreditation

DO NOT use the following wording for Alliant:
  • “All our programs are accredited” or “All our programs are WASC accredited”
  • “The university and its programs are 'accredited' or 'WASC accredited'”
It is the university that’s accredited by WASC, not the individual programs. Some programs are accredited by their industry-specific accrediting body, but not all, so we cannot generalize for Alliant.

For small online ads with word-count restrictions, you can shorten it to: “Accredited university”

The following disclaimer versions, which are currently in use, are also acceptable:
  • Alliant is a private university accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) and an equal opportunity employer and educator.
  • Alliant International University is a private university and an equal opportunity employer and educator accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).
