Academic Nature of Certification

MCA University, as a private US institution, guarantees that certified programs meet the highest international academic quality standards. This certification represents a seal of quality and technical solvency that constitutes solid backing in global professional and academic environments. It is not equivalent to a government degree, and validation is a personal process in each country. Transcripts are issued with an apostille from The Hague.

The rigorous management of our visual identity is essential, as it safeguards the academic prestige and technical strength that MCA Open University projects as a “new digital university” with a global reach. By using our brand, your institution assumes shared responsibility for maintaining the highest ethical and quality standards, aligning itself with our principles of excellence and traceability. Misuse of the name or logo in non-certified programs is strictly prohibited, and such infringement will entitle MCA Open University to revoke certification and initiate appropriate legal action.

Questions about Brand Use and Confidentiality

For which programs can the MCA logo be used?

The use of the name, visual identity, registered trademark, coats of arms, or institutional logos of MCA Open University may only be applied to promotional materials and documentation for programs that have been certified and comply with the terms of the signed agreement. It is prohibited to use the name of MCA Open University in non-certified programs.

What are the ethical responsibilities of the affiliated center?

The certification process is based on the principles of good faith and shared responsibility. The institution must provide accurate, up-to-date, and verifiable information, implement the approved programs without altering the validated content, and ensure that it acts in accordance with established ethical and professional principles.

What happens if the brand usage regulations are violated?

Any misuse of the name or logo will entitle MCA Open University to revoke the certification. If irregularities, document falsification, or serious inconsistencies are detected in the information provided, the institution is subject to the cancellation of the certification for both the center and the students involved.
