To verify if a study-abroad agency is authorized by your chosen university, start by checking the university’s official website. Most institutions list approved partners or agents in their international admissions section. Contact the university’s admissions office directly via email or phone to confirm the agency’s authorization.<\/p>\n

Cross-check the agency’s credentials with recognized education bodies, such as the U.S. Department of Education or the British Council, depending on the destination. Look for affiliations with professional organizations like ICEF or AIRC, which vet agencies for ethical practices. Avoid agencies making unrealistic promises or charging excessive fees upfront.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"question-category":[404],"class_list":["post-5657","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-overseas-education"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHow do I verify if a study-abroad agency is authorized by my chosen university? - ListyFy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how to verify if a study-abroad agency is authorized by your chosen university.
