The Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills granted Adler University a renewal of consent to use the term "University" in British Columbia, Canada. The approval, granted under section 4(1) of the Degree Authorization Act, follows a rigorous review process by the Degree Quality Assessment Board.
