Western Governors University is the only university to have received simultaneous accreditation by four regional accrediting commissions. Currently, WGU's "home" accrediting commission is the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (8060 165th Avenue N.E. Suite 100, Redmond, WA 98052; 425-558-4224). This is the same organization that accredits such leading institutions as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of Utah, Brigham Young University, and other public and private colleges. WGU is also nationally accredited by the DETC, Distance Education and Training Council (1601 18th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20009; 202-234-5100).
