Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission

GNPEC authorizes large and small, degree-granting and certificate-granting, and accredited and unaccredited institutions. GNPEC might need to authorize your institution if the following apply:

• your institution provides post high school education or instruction, and
• your institution is not part of either the University System of Georgia or the Technical College System of Georgia.

Learn about exemptions to see if GNPEC needs to authorize your institution.
