Elevating Institutions

Gateway Solutions provides strategic assistance to institutions and organizations navigating complex international issues, bringing specific expertise in areas related to operational management, international market research and analysis, and institutional rankings and global standing.
To award academic credit for work completed off campus, most institutions require that students produce an official transcript from an accredited institution. To bridge this gap, non-accredited host organizations generally must enter into a School of Record relationship. Gateway assists with establishing and managing School of Record relationships. We support both educational organizations seeking to establish an SOR relationship and accredited institutions seeking to provide SOR services.
The international education space is complex, made only more challenging by the pandemic, the panoply of country-specific regulations, and the array of health, safety, and risk concerns abroad. Gateway International Group is distinguished by its expertise in international higher education, including its understanding of best practices in international health, safety, security and risk management issues. We understand what is needed, how to audit existing systems, troubleshoot areas of potential duty of care liability, how to frame new risk management structures, and how to secure buy-in for those systems and structures across the institutional enterprise.
