New! Specialized business accreditation from ACBSP

 
 
Dear Septian,

I am very pleased to share the news that WGU's College of Business has recently been accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), a leading specialized accreditation association for business education.

This is great news for WGU and for you, as ACBSP accreditation recognizes our commitment to high-quality education and adds prestige to your degree.

This accreditation will not affect the requirements or curriculum of the degree program you're interested in, it just gives you a little more to brag about when you finish!

I hope this information brings you one step closer to earning your degree at WGU. You can visit our website to learn more about the ACBSP accreditation, and please let me know if I can answer any questions about this new accreditation or WGU.

How to juggle college and a job

 
 

Dear Septian,

Online learning at WGU Texas is extraordinarily flexible, even compared to other online schools. Most of our students work full time and attend school when it's convenient for them—before work, after the kids are in bed, on the weekends. You can study where you want, when you want, without sacrificing quality.

That's why online education at WGU Texas makes sense for busy, working adults like you. It won't be easy, but it will be flexible.

Here are some other benefits of online learning at WGU Texas:

Ability to Accelerate
Your progress is determined by whether you can prove you know your stuff. If you can prove it sooner because of prior experience and education, perfect! You'll draw upon this experience to complete assessments faster, ultimately saving you time and money.

Personalized Degree Plan
Your Degree Plan maps out the learning resources and assessments you'll need to utilize and complete in your program based upon the knowledge and skills you already have and those you need to develop.

WGU Texas was created to expand access to higher education through online, competency-based degree programs. As a result, our mission has remained one of helping hardworking adults, like you, meet their educational goals and improve their career opportunities.

Thousands of working adults are succeeding online at WGU Texas right now. There's no reason you can't be one of them.

Your Enrollment Counselor can help you get started.

Best regards,

WGU Enrollment

Improvements to our Privacy Policy and Privacy Controls

Google
Updating Our Privacy Policy
This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. We've also taken steps to improve our Privacy Checkup and other controls we provide to safeguard your data and protect your privacy.
Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data.
We're making these updates as new data protection regulations come into effect in the European Union, and we're taking the opportunity to make improvements for Google users around the world.
Making our Privacy Policy easier to understand
Simpler structure & clearer language
We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for. We've also explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language.
New descriptive videos & illustrations
Often a visual description is easier to understand than text alone, so we've added short videos and illustrations throughout the policy.
Embedded privacy controls
We've made it easier to jump to key settings directly from the policy, helping you make choices about your privacy.
The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018.
Improving your privacy controls
Within the past year, we updated My Activity so that you can better access and manage the data in your Google Account. We also launched a redesigned Dashboard, which allows you to easily see an overview of products you're using and your data associated with them.
This month, we've updated our Privacy Checkup with new illustrations and examples to help you make more informed choices about your key privacy controls. And since we understand that your preferences may change over time, the new Privacy Checkup enables you to sign up for regular reminders to check your privacy settings.
To learn more about these and other controls to manage your privacy, visit your Google Account.

[Important Reminder] Review your data retention settings before they take effect on May 25, 2018

Dear Google Analytics Customer,
We recently sent an email introducing new data retention controls that allow you to manage how long your user and event data are stored by Google Analytics. We would like to remind you that the new data retention settings will soon take effect - on May 25, 2018.
If you haven't already done so, please review and confirm these settings (Property ➝ Tracking Info ➝ Data Retention) as Google Analytics will begin to delete data according to these settings starting May 25.
Impact of this setting as of May 25 is the following:
  • Any user and event data that is older than your retention setting will be marked for permanent deletion, and will no longer be accessible in Google Analytics.
  • Deletion will affect the use of segmentation, some custom reports and secondary dimensions when applied in date ranges older than your retention setting.
  • Reports based on aggregated data will not be affected.
Find out more
You can also learn more about these data retention settings or how Google Analytics is committed to safeguarding your data.
Thanks,
The Google Analytics Team
