Diploma Mill Police - Accreditation Verification  >  Fake Diploma News

Warren National University Online School ClosesSixty-seven former students of Warren National University have filed a lawsuit in the Laramie County District Court in Wyoming claiming they were misled by the online university, reports the Associated Press.

Many are now calling the online non accredited college a diploma or degree mill.

Warren National, which was headquartered in Cheyenne, shuttered its virtual doors this spring after failing to achieve regional accreditation and having its license revoked by the state of Wyoming. As a result, former online students have been left holding worthless pieces of paper, questionable diplomas rather than the online degrees for which they paid thousands of dollars. The lawsuit states online students paid average annual tuition of $6,000 to $12,000, while Warren National University's owners took in $25 million to $30 million in tuition revenue each year.

Unrecognized and Fake Agencies for Online College Accreditation
Diploma Mill Police - Accreditation Verification  >  Degree Mills, What They Are and How To Avoid Them
 
Here is the official Get Educated list of 30-plus distance learning accrediting agencies that claim to oversee a variety of online college and university degree programs.  Most "accredit" diploma mills or degree mills.

Consumers Beware - NONE of these accrediting agencies are recognized as college accreditors in the U.S. by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation or the U.S. Department of Education. As such, colleges claiming “accreditation” by these agencies are not accepted as valid providers of online education or degrees and should be approached with great caution if online college credibility is important to you.

Remember -- Most diploma mills and degree mills are accredited -- but by fake or phony agencies that the degree mills themselves own and operate!
