Accreditation Status

The government of the U.S. Virgin Islands has approved and authorized Therapon
University to issue degrees including, but not limited to, theology, business, and
education. Therapon University’s accreditation is with the American Accrediting Association of
Theological Institutions (A.A.A.T.I.) and Theological Accreditation International
(T.A.I.). These are religious accreditations, rather than secular and voluntary, rather than
mandatory.

Accreditation that is held by Therapon University is a religious, non-governmental accreditation that will be recognized by the Body of Christ and many other Biblical / religious based organizations at their own free will.

The agencies monitor educational and religious standards for Bible colleges,
and their accreditation is accepted by many religious organizations. However, this
accreditation would not be accepted by some secular organizations, as A.A.A.T.I. and
T.A.I are not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the seven official
regional accrediting agencies. They are also not recognized by SAQA in the Republic of
South Africa. This non-recognition may have some implications that include, but are not
limited to:

Therapon University students are not eligible to participate in the U.S. Federal
Student Loan/Financial Aid program.
Therapon University is not authorized to accept the U.S. GI Bill for tuition.
Therapon University is unable to guarantee acceptance of its degrees in other
postsecondary institutions, except those also accredited by A.A.A.T.I. or T.A.I.
Corporations are not required to recognize degrees from Therapon University.
Therapon University is unable to guarantee acceptance of its degrees for employment
or licensure.

Outside of the United States of America, Therapon University holds No accreditations. Therapon University, being a Christian Institution, has chosen to have religious accreditation in the USA, rather than governmental accreditations. Because of this fact, secular universities will not recognize qualifications from Therapon University in other countries.

To reach a decision concerning our school, you should determine your ultimate goal in seeking a degree. Our mission is to train born-again believers to serve the Lord in some phase of ministry. If you are seeking additional education to increase your ministry potential, our school will be an excellent choice.

The student acknowledges that he / she is aware of the fact that Therapon University holds no Accreditation outside of the USA and that any qualification that they obtain from Therapon University will not be recognized by other secular universities in other countries. The student furthermore acknowledges that he / she enrolls as an online distance student in the USVI and agrees to the terms and conditions of Therapon University in USA.

Refund Policy of TU, USA

Please note that Therapon University is registered in the USA as a non-profit, tax-exempted ministry organization, and Therapon University cannot issue refunds under any circumstances.

Therefore, we have a strict NO REFUND POLICY on all Fees. That means that all fees paid to us remain NON-REFUNDABLE to the student, should the student decide not to continue with his or her studies. This includes any and all deposits made for: Registration Fees, Tuition Fees, Administration Fees, as well as Graduation Fees. We do not refund any fees under any circumstances. This also includes fees that are paid upfront or in advance to us.

Should a student discontinue their studies after paying any fees, they have a 24-month period in which to bring their fees up to date and continue with their studies where they left off. Should they not continue or communicate to us within the 24 months about their intentions to continue their studies, they will be removed and no longer registered as a legitimate student with TU in the USA.

We therefore urge prospective students to please count the cost before they enroll.
