My understanding was that the UAE, or at least one of their educational ministries, used to accept degrees via distance education, provided it was from an accepted institution and there was a list of universities and colleges that were deemed acceptable. Seemed like a pretty commonsense and practical approach to me, but, they obviously thought it was better to get rid of it.


They still have the list on the MOE site:

They just don't seem to follow their own policy.


That's the one! By the by, every university I've ever studied at is on it. However, as things stand, it looks like I won't be eligible for the UAE, or most of the GCC, because of my external enrollments. Oh well, there's always South America, the Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe,....... Cool

This is the list that was followed by the Ministry of Higher Education. That ministry no longer exists as it was merged into the Ministry of Education, which originally covered only K-12. Their policies apparently have taken precedence and they never accepted anything online or distance.

Qatar previously accepted degrees/credentials that entailed partial online study. However, from the Qatari Embassy in London:

Educational Qualification Rules

3. A cover letter from the issued educational provider confirming ALL the points below:
