The Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC) is a private educational agency based in the United Kingdom that accredits UK-based and international schools, universities, and other education providers.

ASIC has been appointed by the United Kingdom Government's Home Office UK Border Agency to accredit private UK colleges for visa purposes. In this capacity, ASIC distinguishes colleges that actually provide educational services from bogus institutions that allow international students to obtain fraudulent visas.
