Compliance
Academic revocation registry
ACLAS maintains a public registry of academic awards it has revoked. A revoked credential is no longer valid, even where the original certificate or transcript is still in the holder's possession.

Grounds
Why an award can be revoked
ACLAS publishes the categories of conduct that lead to revocation. Each is a finding against an individual holder, not a general condition of study.
- Falsification of academic credentials or enrollment data.
- Academic dishonesty, including plagiarism or cheating.
- Failure to meet program academic standards.
- Conduct policy violations, such as disruptive behavior or unauthorized system access.

For employers
How to check a credential you have been shown
A certificate in hand is not evidence on its own. The register and the verification lookup record the college's current position.
Check for revocation
Confirm the award does not appear on the revocation register published by the college.
Escalate if it matters
For a decision you will be held to, use an independent verification report rather than a self-service check.
Questions
Revocation questions
What revocation means for a credential, a holder and an employer.
What does revocation mean for a credential?
A revoked award is no longer valid. ACLAS states that revocation stands even where the original certificate or transcript remains in the holder's possession.
How do I know whether a specific award has been revoked?
Check the certificate through the free verification lookup, which reflects the college's current record rather than the document in hand. The registry on aclas.college lists revoked awards.
What happens to the certificate ID of a revoked award?
The certificate ID remains tied to the original award, so a verification check against it returns the college's current position rather than confirming a document that has been withdrawn.
Can a revoked award be reinstated?
ACLAS does not publish a reinstatement process. The registry and the school's academic code are the authority on this, and several policy pages referenced from the college's legal documents are not currently reachable.
Does revocation affect other graduates?
No. Revocation applies to an individual award following a finding against that holder. It does not affect the standing of other ACLAS credentials.
Checking a credential?
The free lookup answers the question in seconds. The register tells you whether an award has since been withdrawn.
