So this is word of mouth, but i can also attest to experience in knowing the other students at Urshan, but in short the answer is no.
One of the necessities to being an accredited school is only allowing a certain percentages of your students to have a degree from an unaccredited college (Thus bigger graduate schools can allow students with unaccredited degrees since it is still under the percentage maximum of "unaccredited degrees." this is why you hear many stories of students going to bible college "X" and still being able to go to graduate school.)
But since UGST is so small it can either allow 1 or 0 students from a UPC bible college. There was a rumor I heard that they allow one bible college graduate per year, but I have yet to see anything official, nor have met such a student.
I would also add that practically speaking there would be great growing pains for the UPC bible college student at UGST. I have had several friends go to UPC bible colleges and the workload demanded there and the paper requirements seem to be relatively light in contrast to my experience at a secular institution. Although, I have heard the teachers at UGST who also teach at Gateway do have higher expectations out of student assignments for the undergrads relative to the rest of the Gateway teachers (not to mention Gateway is actually making an effort at moving towards accreditation unlike it's other well known Midwestern counterpart) .
