STUDENT RESOURCESWhat are students saying about us?
“... the availability of the professors through Portage was, like, you couldn't compare it to any other school I've ever been to. My professor just didn't want to give me a grade and say, 'you passed,' but took the time to make sure I knew everything I was paying for.”
“... one of the biggest perks about Portage is that you can fit it in to your schedule and get everything done at the time that works for you. If you need to study at midnight and take a test at 1am, you can do that!”
“... getting into nursing school really attracted me to take Portage courses. … I'm glad that I chose to get my prerequisites through Portage before I got accepted into college.”
of students reported that they were either very likely or somewhat likely to recommend their course to others.

The mission of Portage Learning is to support academic institutions by delivering high quality and innovative education to their students. This desire to support, rather than compete, means we exist as a non-degree awarding institution. Instead, we partner with Geneva College, accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), to provide college courses for the students and institutions we serve.
For more information on Geneva College's accreditation, please click here.
For more information on Geneva-Portage classes, please click here.
Geneva College approves all Portage Learning courses following standards set forth by MSCHE. Transcripts for the Geneva-Portage Learning courses are issued by Geneva College and delivered at no cost to more than 2,000 colleges and universities nationwide.
Additionally, independent of Geneva College, Portage Learning is fully accredited by the Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools (MSA-CSS), the highest accreditation level for which we are eligible. Please read below for more details regarding our accreditation, and how you can trust in the quality of education you receive when enrolling with us.
Call us at (888) 724-3590, option 2, for all inquiries regarding accreditation.
Portage Learning has been fully accredited by the Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools (MSA-CSS) since 2005 and has been reaffirmed in every accreditation cycle since that time. Accreditation helps institutions demonstrate they are meeting key standards, and therefore support academic and institutional excellence. For every review and site visit, professional judgment from impartial peers helps institutions to discern the effectiveness of their institutional operation.
In accordance with Middle States standards, Portage Learning has (a) demonstrated that it is effectively advancing the quality of educational experiences it offers its students, (b) meets its responsibilities to the public and the profession of education, and (c) complies with standards for accreditation that are established by the Middles States Association of Colleges and Schools.
The current Middle States Accreditation term for Portage Learning is through 2027. Our chosen self-study and accreditation protocol is Excellence by Design (ExBD), which uses strategic planning as a vehicle for establishing objectives for growth and improvement in student performance and in the school's capacity to impact that growth. In addition, the protocol provides for a continuous review of programs and services and of the results of student performance. It also enables diverse constituent groups to participate in charting the future of the institution.
Visit the Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools website for more information on our accreditation status here.
We are proud of our efforts to support and serve our students by maintaining academic excellence via the accreditation and reaffirmation process.
