Take Care of Yourself Against Online College Degree Scams

Written by admin on November 21st, 2010

How could you differentiate illegal and legitimate online colleges and universities?? There are two ways these fake institutions would market.

They could blatantly announce that they are selling bogus? college diplomas, while there are others which would pretend to have solid academic background and fool the people.? How do you protect yourself from such scams?

Hector Milla Editor of the “Online Degrees In USA” website — http://www.OnlineDegreesUSA.org — pointed out;

?

“?Ask questions.? It has been a common notion to never question a college or a university.? But when dealing with online colleges, it is important to ask questions about management, offered courses, etc. to get an idea about its credibility?”

? Check the accreditation of the online college in question.? Even if they are saying that they are accredited do not settle until you have completely verified their accreditation.? Sometimes they would claim accreditation but not from a recognized agency like U. S.? Department of Education and Council of Higher? Education Accreditation.

? They do not require anything else other than credit card information.? Online colleges require high school transcript, academic record from previous academic institution and test scores.? It is likely you are dealing with fake institutions if the only thing important for them is money.

? Earning your degree would just take you about 30 days after enrolment. A real college degree, even if it is online, is something that you would have to earn and not something that would be handed to you regardless of your status.

? The online college in question has multiple complaints filed against them.? You could check your local state government if they have lists of unaccredited colleges.

“?Online college degrees are made by college institutions to cater or answer to the needs of employed, single and disabled students.? However, even if they are online courses, it does not mean that they can be quickly finished without even sweating a bit.? Currently the U.S. government has not national or federal requirement that online colleges be recognized and accredited by a specific agency.? Being cautious is important?” added H. Milla.
