Could I politely suggest writing out the full acronym the first time, and then using WGU subsequently? It'd be a good deal more considerate of non-U.S. readers.

Just adding this on OP's behalf:

WGU = Western Governors University

Yes it leaves me guessing.

West Georgia University?

Washington, George Understanding-Builder?

Western Governors University

But they rarely use the full name, even on their own site.

You're absolutely right, apologies for that. It can be easy for me to forget that people don't have every acronym that I know implanted into their head.

Sibling comment already stated this, but I'll just say I was referring to Western Governors University. I have added an edit to the post to clarify.
