Greenwich University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about a US, then Australian correspondence school called Greenwich University; for the London university, see University of Greenwich.
Greenwich University is a now-inactive correspondence school and it was never accredited.[1] According to the Australian Department of Education, "Between 30 June 1998 and 2 December 2002, Greenwich University (Norfolk Island) degrees were lawfully awarded under legislation approved by the Norfolk Island Government, using its powers of self-government. While the Commonwealth Minister for Territories assented to legislation, this does not mean that Greenwich University awards were ever recognised by the Federal Government of Australia."[1]
It operated on Norfolk Island from 1998-2002.[1] In January 1999, the University requested accreditation under the Australian Qualifications Framework. In response, the Australian government set up a Review Committee to investigate the suitability of Greenwich University for accreditation. The committee returned recommendations that Greenwich University
"not be listed on the registers of the Australian Qualifications Framework because the standard of its courses, quality assurance mechanisms and its academic leadership fail to meet the standards expected of Australian universities."[2]
