Foreign credential evaluation. Garp Well-Known Member It would go a long way to establishing some credibility for me if an institution gained the dot EDU based on their accreditation by ASIC (as with the German ACQUIN). There are a couple of schools with .edu but they appear to have been grandfather. Garp Well-Known Member That doesn't mean really anything to me in this regard. It's not a global TLD. Right, the domain .edu was implemented in 1985 as a generic top-level domain. At that time, the domain could have become a global TLD, like .com or .org, but that never happened. Since 2001, new registrants for second-level domain names under .edu have been required to be US–affiliated institutions of higher education. This means .edu is the functional equivalent of education-related second-level domains under the respective county code TLD in other countries. Examples are .ac.uk in the UK or .edu.au in Australia. Incidentally, .edu is no longer considered a generic domain, but a sponsored domain. Share This Page
