I was approached by Nicholson University promising an online Masters Degree Program with a caption ” Pay after you graduate”.
After login the details, i received a call from them and said they could qualify me for the Degree based on my past experience and professional credential. They also said they do Embassy attestation and US legalization.
After going through their website , it was so impressive, as per the call , i paid them $ 499 for the Masters Degree in Project Management and $ 400 for the attestation works.
After going through many articles on fake universities, now I am afraid whether Nicholson University is also a fake one.
Sir you kindly go through the website and advice if this is a fake one or a Diploma MILL.
Thank you all for giving this information. Its quite helpful. There may be some fake universities that offer some kind of courses and services but we have to check proper and then only pay for it.
Dear All, I knew very well about this NICHOLSON University and some other universities who has been doing (in fact cheating) the people.

Hi,
I’m sorry to hear that!
Diploma mills are constantly creating new fake “accrediting” bodies so it is impossible to have an exhaustive list of all fake accreditation agencies.
The ONLY way to make sure you are not falling into a diploma mill scam is to verify that the school’s accreditation is REAL with the U.S. Dept. of Education or CHEA.

The same story, someone called me and offered an online course based on my professional experience provided I pay the US$500 first as initial fee but I refused to pay the additional US$500 attestation fee unless they send me the documents first. I told him that I was having difficulty in getting my credit card approved and the student counselor offered to do it himself and I started getting suspicious because he wants to get hold of vital information with regards to my credit card. I checked on the accreditations and neither of them are in those listed as fake… Read more »
For a degree to be “real” it MUST hold accreditation that is [u]recognized[/u] by the U.S. Dept. of Education or CHEA.

I also have a chat with Nicholson University today and yes they said that they can give me degree on basis of my professional experience. If any one from America kindly contact the foreign affairs or america council for education to certify that this is a real or fake degree then the problem will be solve.
Kindly help us any one from america.

Hello, Thanks for your question! As a general rule of thumb, you should use extreme caution with any school offering a “pay later” or “pay now” scheme. Real, accredited schools will generally make you pay as you go including a tuition deposit. Also, caution should be used when a school offers you a full degree based on past experience.
