Important Considerations for Prospective Students 

At Oceania Polytechnic and Technological University, the majority of our students are experienced professionals, managers, and entrepreneurs who often hold established careers and academic qualifications. Consequently, it is uncommon for them to require academic credit transfers or licensing based on their degrees. However, we recognize that in certain countries, licensing authorities may require degrees from accredited institutions as a prerequisite for professional licensing. Additionally, some accredited universities may not accept credits from non-accredited institutions for transfer purposes, and certain employers may mandate an accredited degree for eligibility in their hiring processes. 

Oceania Polytechnic and Technological University fully respects the distinct regulations and requirements established by each country's authorities and does not seek to influence their decisions or processes. If a prospective student intends to enroll at Oceania Polytechnic and Technological University with the goal of pursuing public or state employment, or to engage in government-regulated processes using their degree, we strongly encourage them to consult the relevant authorities in their country beforehand. Understanding the specific requirements will help determine whether a degree from Oceania Polytechnic and Technological University aligns with their objectives. The university does not participate in or influence such governmental processes, and prospective students are advised to conduct thorough research to ensure their educational choice meets their professional needs.

Dr. Carl Emmanuel S. Schmitt
