Accreditation

Post University is an accredited University that offers students the academic, social and leadership skills they will need to succeed in their chosen fields.
State Licensure and Accreditation

Post University is licensed by the State of Connecticut through the Department of Higher Education (DHE). The purpose of licensure by the State of Connecticut is to ensure that any new institutions, and its academic programs (traditional classroom and online), comply with the quality standards required to begin operations in the state. The regulations and standards used by DHE can be found at: www.ctdhe.org.

In addition to licensure, the State of Connecticut also ensures through its accreditation process that Post University continues to meet the quality standards established by the state. Post University's accreditation by the State of Connecticut carries with it authorization to award specified degrees.
Regional Accreditation

Post University is also accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). This is the regional accreditation agency for more than 200 colleges and universities in the six New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The Commission is one of six organizations recognized by the US Department of Education and by the Council on Higher Education as being reliable authorities on the quality of institutions of higher education. This recognition provides for the transferability of credits by assuring standards of quality. Post University has been accredited by NEASC since 1972.

Post University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and College, Inc., through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education.

Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and give reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.

Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact:

Technology Focused
Emphasis is placed on helping you begin to develop skills and knowledge in technical areas that can have practical value in the workplace. Besides technical instruction, the programs of study offered at ITT Tech focus on helping you develop problem solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork skills.

Convenient Class Schedules
Many programs at ITT Tech offer the same class schedule every week, which can help make it easier for you to work and meet the other demands of life.

Year-Round Classes
The programs at ITT Tech continue year-round. This helps you to complete your education and enter the work force sooner. Depending on student enrollment, new classes generally begin each quarter in most programs.

Advisory Committee
Each area of study at each ITT Technical Institute has a local advisory committee comprised of people representing area businesses. The input from these committees helps the ITT Technical Institute offer an education that is relevant to the needs of employers.


Career Services
At an ITT Technical Institute, career preparation begins long before graduation. Assistance is offered on job-seeking and job-keeping skills and techniques. In addition, you are advised of entry-level job openings and interview opportunities.

Learn & Apply
Unlike many traditional colleges, where students spend most of their time listening to lectures in most programs, ITT Tech students also spend considerable time in the lab, where they are encouraged to apply what was taught in the classroom and see for themselves how, why and what makes things work.

Equipment
We understand the importance of students in most programs being able to benefit from a hands-on learning environment by using equipment that is similar to what is used in industry.

Accreditation
Each ITT Technical Institute is either authorized or licensed by the state in which it is located and is accredited by or in the process of seeking accreditation from an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. All ITT Technical Institutes (except in some instances the most recently opened institutes) are eligible to participate in the federal student financial aid programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and as administered by the U.S. Department of Education.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid

Loans

Unlike scholarships and need-based grants, student loans are available to almost everyone. Your eligibility for student loans doesn't necessarily depend on your financial status or academic achievements. Student loans are a great way to cover college expenses, but they are by no means "free money." After you finish school, you have to repay the money you borrow with interest. If you need money for school, don't let that hold you back! Your higher education will most likely open the doors to new career opportunities where you'll earn more money than you could without a degree or diploma. Ready to look for money for school?






FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is a necessary step toward funding your education. Whether you are pursuing need-based grants, scholarships or student loans to help you afford the costs of college, the FAFSA should be your first priority. Even if you don't think you qualify for financial aid, it's worth your time and effort to complete the FAFSA each and every year. After all, there are many factors affecting eligibility for financial aid, meaning that if you aren't eligible one year, you could be the next!

To apply for student financial aid from the federal government, including the Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, Pell Grant and work-study programs, you will need to submit the
FAFSA. The FAFSA is also required by all state and many school student assistance programs. There is no charge for submitting this form. Learn more about potential funding options below or visit the Federal Student Aid web site and get started today!






Scholarships, Fellowships and Grants

See If You Qualify For a Scholarships and Grantsclick here

Undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships and student grants are forms of aid that can help you pay for your college education. There are billions of dollars in scholarships, fellowships and grants awarded each year. Best of all, this form of student aid does not have to be repaid!

People are awarded scholarships, fellowships and grants for a variety of reasons. Generally, scholarships and fellowships are reserved for students with academic, athletic or artistic talent. However, awards are also available for students who live in certain parts of the country, who are interested in particular fields of study, who are members of underrepresented groups or for those who demonstrate financial need. If you don't fit into any of those categories, you should still browse through some of the free scholarship databases online because there are more and more unusual scholarships available. You never know when you're unique skills will come in handy!





Savings

Every dollar you save is a dollar less you'll need to borrow! It is never too early - or too late - to start saving for your or your child's education. After all, time is one of your most valuable assets, so the sooner you start, the more time your money will have to grow and earn interest. However, even if college is just a year or two away, there are tax benefits to saving in a section 529 college savings plan or prepaid tuition plan. Putting a portion of your paycheck aside now will allow it to earn interest, saving you money in the long run.

It is less expensive to save for college than to borrow money. When you save, the money earns interest, while when you borrow, you're paying the interest. Either way, you're setting aside a portion of your income to pay for college. Just keep in mind that paying for college before you or your child graduates definitely costs much less than paying for college afterward!






Military Aid

If you are currently in the military or interested in pursing an Armed Forces career, there are funding and educational options exclusively for you! Many people choose armed forces careers because of the college funding options available. Here are some of the military aid options:

* Montgomery GI Bill. Military student aid, such as the Montgomery GI Bill, is one of the options for funding. The Montgomery GI Bill provides up to 36 months of education benefits to eligible veterans for college, business, technical or vocational courses, correspondence courses, apprenticeship/job training, and flight training.
* Tuition Assistance. Tuition assistance is another program for service members. Members of the armed forces can enroll in courses at accredited colleges, universities, and vocational or technical schools. Tuition assistance can pay up to 100 percent of the cost of the course.
* Reserved Officer Training Corps. One of the best military aid options is the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). In exchange for a military service commitment, the program provides you with money for college while you're in school. If you aren't sure about military life, take comfort in the fact that there is no military commitment for the first year in ROTC. You can try out the program and see if ROTC and the military are right for you. Full ROTC scholarships pay for almost all tuition, fees and books for four years of college. Scholarships also come in one-, two- and three-year lengths. ROTC students must take one military science course along with their other college courses and, upon graduation, enter the service as a commissioned officer.
* Military Academies. Although the application process is extremely competitive, service academies are a great option for someone who is ready to commit to pursuing an armed forces career. Each branch of the service operates its own service academy as a four-year school. All students receive a full scholarship with a small monthly stipend. Upon graduation, you'll have your Bachelor's degree, be free of college debt, and already have a career! Military academy graduates are immediately commissioned as second lieutenants in the Army, Air Force or Marine Corps, or as ensigns in the Navy or Coast Guard.
