Abstract	Institutional accreditation is an important factor for U.S. institutions in determining if credit or degrees from another institution will be accepted. However, accreditation as we understand it does not often exist outside the United States. This 60-Second Survey, in partnership with the Association of International Credential Evaluators (AICE) examines institutional policies pertaining to accreditation status and the acceptance of credit and degrees from foreign institutions. The survey received responses from 588 institutions including several combinations of control, size, type and countries. Among the key findings were: (1) nine out of 10 institutions have a prescribed policy on regional accreditation requirements for admission and transfer-of-credit purposes; (2) more than 70% accept a foreign institution's recognition by a national ministry of education to be equivalent to regional academic accreditation in the United States; (3) less than half accept recognition by a national government board or body overseeing training or employment to be equivalent to regional academic accreditation; (4) less than 15% recognize a non-governmental organization, and less than 20% recognize a governmental board of a foreign government outside of the institution's geographic area as equivalent to regional academic accreditation and (5) the admissions office (54%) is most likely to be responsible for determining whether students' foreign education comes from an accredited school, followed closely by the registrar's office (50%).
