The Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C. informs the public that the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), through its International Affairs Service (IAS), offers a service that verifies the status of international Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and their accredited/recognized programs – whether in a physical campus, or through distance education. CHED-IAS serves as the clearing house of information on the Philippine higher education system, comparability of higher education programs, and degrees and diplomas obtained from other countries.
Use of CHED’s verification service is highly recommended prior to enrolling and engaging with any degree granting institutions, both Philippine and foreign, to ensure the recognition by the CHED of qualifications to be awarded by said HEIs.
Inquiries relevant to this matter may be coursed through the CHED-IAS with the following contact details:
