Ukraine has already got accreditation for information here a link for you with all lincence and etc. http://www.wiuu.edu.ua/about-us/accreditation-and-licensure/. Please change it on Wisconsin International University, Florida, Ghana (Wisconsin International University College has National Accreditation Board accreditation in Ghana as a university college affiliated with the University of Ghana and University of Cape Coast), Ukraine and other locations, now using the name Worldwide International University Andrew6686 (talk) 08:11, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

This school is still using the name "Wisconsin International University" despite claims to the contrary; this is clear from the link you gave. I can't really judge the Ukrainian accreditation claims, but this US credentials site calls credentials from this school "unverifiable". Hairhorn (talk) 16:28, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Requesting that someone please add a sentence that Atlantic International University is accredited by the Accreditation Service for International Colleges [1] a UK based recognized accreditation agency listed in the Council for Higher Education Accreditation's international directory [2]

  Not done The institution itself says it is not accredited by any accreditation agency recognized by the US DoE.[3] jfeise (talk) 14:48, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I saw that. However, I did not realize that this article only applies to the United Sates. If so, maybe it should read "List of Unaccrecited Institutions of Higher Education In The United States." Some of the institutions on this list have legit accreditation but not in the US hence, I was confused. To the public eye, it reads as if some of these institutions have no accreditation at all, which is inaccurately presented. Just trying to make sure readers are not being misinformed as to some of these institutions. Although the accreditation agency is not US based, they are recognized accreditors in the Council for Higher Education Accreditation's directory hence, a special line adding that the institution is accredited, but not by a US based agency would be sufficient. This gives readers accurate information.

Thanks for you time HLWhittendale (talk) 04:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

This topic, in connection with this particular US-based institution has come up before, in October 2015, here and here. jfeise (talk) 02:25, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Wow, it appears to be an on going issue. However, some good points were made by all. Hopefully this will get resolved in the near future.

Cheers HLWhittendale (talk) 03:19, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey. I agree with the people here. The article should be named: List of higher education providers unaccredited by US based organizations." Or something like this. As we know, the US is not good at regulating, and they often demand a lot of money and unnecessary procedures for what they do. So some of these schools are great schools, like AIU, and they went another way (a legit way) with their accreditation. The article is misleading. Furthermore, it ruins the reputation of good schools, when people of the digital age believe everything they read on Google/Wikipedia. Reading this article, potential employers will just read "FAKE SCHOOL" and deny good people. btw, this is my first comment, so very sorry if I'm doing something wrong with signing or anything else...

European Graduate School

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I would propose to remove this School from the list of unaccredited schools as it is accredited as a full university in Malta, and as such, its degrees would be as a matter of course, be accepted for admittance, for example, in other European Universities. There is no credible report that Malta does not conform to acceptable accreditation standards that I could find. This is not the job of Wikipedia to second guess accreditation standards of EU or other countries. Note: I have been a student, but don't have a degree, or diploma from them, so am not in conflict nor feel I should recuse myself from editing. Here is the link to Malta: http://ncfhe.gov.mt/en/register/Pages/list_universities.aspx Please note that none of the other universities accredited by Malta are on this list of Unaccredited institutions of higher education. With respect to the Maine and Texas pages, these are wholly irrelevant, as the fact that a country, state or province of a country doesn't accept an accreditation of one school or another does not mean that the University is unaccredited. So deleting that information is not deleterious or misleading. Serenest (talk) 23:55, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

I keep seeing some one add the ACIS "recognized" info on all entries about this "school" yet I can never find anything other than a link to their own website. What do you guys think? --Super--

Each school must be under the protection of government. Accreditation is a matter of politics and nothing else. States protect academic degrees because they pay for professors who are their "soldiers". The degree of one state does not have to be recognized in another country. It's all about politics. Only knowledge nobody can take away. Behind every degree must be the knowledge, skills and talents. The employer must evaluate the employee according to his diploma and the abilities he or she is proving. At all state universities there is a purchase of diplomas and examinations paid in a variety of ways without and money to, secretly. And nothing to anyone! For the private sector of business, that is all the less important. It's just a work outfit and nothing else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.149.51.242 (talk) 16:00, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

United Kingdom[edit]

Under the Education Reform Act 1988 it is illegal to offer a degree or qualification that implies it is a degree, unless the institution offering it is authorised by a Royal Charter or by or under an Act of Parliament, or is acting on behalf of an institution so authorised, or the award has been specifically designated by order of the Secretary of State.[20] The government maintains lists of "recognised bodies" that have the right to grant UK degrees,[21] and of "listed bodies" that offer courses validated by a recognised body and leading to degrees of that body.[22] UK institutions offering courses leading to degrees are subject to quality assurance by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA).[23] The QAA is a member of INQAAHE and ENQA.[3][6] Higher Education Degree Datacheck is the official service for validating British degrees and authenticating universities.

Professional degrees may be accredited by professional, statutory and regulatory bodies to ensure they meet the educational standards for professional licensure; a list of accrediting bodies recognised by the government is maintained by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.[24][25]

For non-degree qualifications, including courses at the higher education level, there are four public accrediting bodies for the four countries of the United Kingdom. These are: Ofqual in England Qualifications Wales The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment in Northern Ireland The Scottish Qualifications Authority

All qualifications accredited by these bodies will have a level and a credit value on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (England and Northern Ireland), the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales, or the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework. Bodies with accredited qualifications, such as City & Guilds, may themselves accredit education providers to deliver courses leading to these qualifications.

There are, additionally, four bodies offering institutional accreditation for private colleges that are recognized by the UK government for visa purposes:[26]

Accreditation Service for International Colleges (ASIC) for independent colleges in UK and colleges and universities worldwide. ASIC is an affiliate of ENQA.[27] The British Accreditation Council (BAC) for independent higher education and further education institutions across the UK. BAC is also a member of INQAAHE and ENQA.[3][6]

Accreditation UK, part of the British Council (a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office[28]), for English language schools only[29] The Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS) for English language schools[30]

Additionally, the Open and Distance Learning Quality Council (ODLQC) was established by the government in 1969 as the Council for the Accreditation of Correspondence Colleges and took its current name in 1995. It is now an independent body that accredits home study, distance learning and online learning providers.[31] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Warnborough College (United Kingdom) is ASIC accredited ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ku1268 (talk) 14:41, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Currently, there are institutions that no longer exist in this list. There are institutions in this list that lost accreditation. Both are not consistent - either you have a list of institutions of higher education that were never accredited or you have a list of currently unaccredited institutions of higher education - but both at the same time doesn't fit. Similarly, a large part of the list is based on sources that are more than four years old. Some have only sources from more than ten years ago.

About Accreditation as a Governmental Designation (Is it always?)

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Sentence 2 in the first paragraph of this article says: "In many countries, accreditation is defined as a governmental designation."

However there appear to be reputable private organisations, unaffiliated with national governments, which grant academic accreditation to institutions of higher education.

An example is the World Certification Institute.

The council members of the WCI can be viewed here, and the list of institutions accredited by the WCI can be seen here.

Is there a list of reputable private accreditation organisations on Wikipedia?

And does this article (and others) take into account accreditation from these bodies?

Pebble Hills University USA

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

PHU is not accredited by any accrediting agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education. Which means, In the United States, many licensing authorities require accredited degrees as the basis for eligibility for licensing. In some cases, accredited colleges may not accept for transfer courses and degrees completed at unaccredited colleges, and some employers may require an accredited degree as a basis for eligibility for employment.

Pebble Hills University or any of its degree programs are not accredited by any accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE). A degree program that is unaccredited or a degree from an unaccredited institution is not recognized for some employment positions and/or immigration purposes. WES is unable to review any of our credentials at this time. WES requires US universities to be nationally or regionally accredited for them to evaluate the credentials.

Pebble Hills University was accredited in 2016 and the website was www.pebblehills.edu which later was changed to Pebblehills.university after its IAO accreditation expiration. 103.148.72.40 (talk) 05:23, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Tuition fees cover the cost of your study and include charges for registration, tuition, supervision, examinations and graduation.
Payment of fees will also entitle you to membership of the library and the Students’ Union.
Any offer of a place at the University is made on the understanding that you have sufficient funds to pay for your tuition fees and your living expenses for the entire duration of your period of study.
The follow table lists the fees per subject. To give you a guideline for total costs per course, allow 30 – 40 subjects for a Bachelor degree, 20 subjects for a Master degree, and 30 subjects for a Doctor degree.
For example, if you are enrolled in a Bachelor of Business degree, then it typically consists of 40 subjects spread out over 4 years. 40 x $880 = $35,200 total cost.
Accreditation of any kind is 100% Voluntary.It is also a very costly and time consuming process. This cost must be passed on to the student and either covered out of pocket or through student loans. It is up to the student to determine if a certain type of accreditation is appropriate for their situation. If your goals require a particular type, then you would want to enroll in a university that is accredited by the type that your goal requires.
Choosing a university is a major life decision. It should be taken very seriously. Carefully weigh your options and budget against your education and career goals.
This is taken from their website.
Harris is a Private, Niche University that is not for everyone and every situation.
Good luck in all your future goals. 2603:6011:2000:D300:7D50:87BA:D8CD:A0EE (talk) 10:53, 18 June 2023 (UTC)


  Not done Please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. And your last link points to a different, accredited public institution. jfeise (talk) 20:15, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Sure thing. I hope the information below is enough for the suggested change to be made, adding "Harris University" to the list of unaccredited institutions of higher education.
1. “Not accredited by any board and it cannot be found on any university database or ranking”.
-“Harris University” is simply not accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. The United States being the country in which it allegedly functions in.
https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/search-results . The US' official website shows “Harris University” is not accredited in the US.
-Also, “Harris University” does not show up when using any university database, whether based on the US, or globally.
For instance https://www.4icu.org/us/a-z/ lists over 1,750 US universities, and it is not on the list.
2. “It does not have a .edu domain”.
-Please note that that alleged university’s domain is not “.edu”, but rather it’s “.us”. It tries to trick people into believing it’s a .edu domain by having a clever name that ends in -edu.us.
https://www.harris-university-edu.us/
-Also, Wikipedia’s own terms state that having a .edu domain is a way to tell if a postsecondary US institution is legit. On that note, “Eligibility. Since October 29, 2001, only postsecondary institutions and organizations that are institutionally accredited by an agency on the U.S. Department of Education's list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies are eligible to apply for an edu domain To be eligible, an institution must be located in the U.S., legally organized in the U.S., or recognized by a U.S. state, territorial, or federal agency.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.edu
3. “It claims to have existed since the 1962 yet only has a website since 2013”
-This is indeed the case. According to who.is, the website was only registered on June 20, 2013. And as stated, its website verbatim claims that the university has existed since 1962. Which is dubious.
https://who.is/whois/harris-university-edu.us
https://www.harris-university-edu.us/about-us/
4. “It claims to have been accredited by an organization that actually does not exist ("IAAS").”
-As stated on the previous link, this fake university states that it is accredited by an institution called IAAS, the “International Association of Accredited on line Schools and Institutions”. And a quick Google search shows that such institution never existed. It was made up by Harris.

5. “Its published location leads to warehouses in the middle of nowhere according to Google Maps”
-This is indeed the case, as stated. Please take a look at the provided Google Maps link, that shows street view of the address stated on the fake university’s website, and you will see it is a warehouse and not a university.
The address stated on its website is: “Harris University main office is in 1903 60th Place E. #M5311, Bradenton, Florida.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20131129123422/http://harris-university-edu.us/about_us.html

6. “None of the mentioned people have any sort of online presence (including its founder and dean)”.
-This is easy to check as well. Its website states that its Founder is Mr. “Dr. Edgar William Henry Hine, a British MD born in London, UK.”. And then a quick Google Search shows no information whatsoever of that person ever existing. And not to mention that his name does not show up in the UK’s medical doctors list.
https://www.harris-university-edu.us/about-us/
https://www.google.com/search?q=Dr.+Edgar+William+Henry+Hine&oq=Dr.+Edgar+William+Henry+Hine&aqs=chrome..69i57.103j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
https://www.gmc-uk.org/doctors?page=1&givenNameText=edgar%20william&lastNameText=henry%20hine
-Also, this fake institution states that it has a President called “Les Toomey”, who also has no online presence whatsoever.
https://www.harris-university-edu.us/home/staff-faculty/
https://www.google.com/search?q=Les+Toomey+harris&hl=en&sxsrf=APwXEdfgOtRkN6WQJmIMzYpofdjzN2hAaA%3A1686273955965&ei=o3-CZILMOry65OUPkpmg4A0&ved=0ahUKEwjCqY6BhLX_AhU8HbkGHZIMCNwQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=Les+Toomey+harris&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIECCMQJzoHCCMQsAMQJzoICAAQgAQQsAM6CwgAEIoFEIYDELADSgQIQRgBUKIBWPEGYPEHaAFwAHgAgAE4iAHhApIBATeYAQCgAQHAAQHIAQM&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
-Overall, “Harris University’s” alleged Founder and President are fake persons
7. ”And it offers degrees for just $820”
-This is indeed the case as well. Please take a look at the linked website below, as it expressly states that it offers undergraduate degrees for just $820, and master’s and doctorates for $1,020. Such fees are certainly not believable from any US institution, and let alone for undergraduate and doctorate degrees that take many years to be completed.
https://www.harris-university-edu.us/tuition-fees/
8. And about the last link, my mistake. I linked it wrongly. I just wanted to show that when using a website that lists 3,896 colleges in the world, nothing shows up about “Harris University”
https://www.collegesanddegrees.com/college-profiles
In sum, "Harris University" is not accredited, and therefore should be added to the list. Though furthermore, the information provided above states that it clearly is a fake institution and that does not impart any sort of class. It is a scam. Thank you in advance. Avenscl (talk) 01:42, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home
In order to be any reliable, Wikipedia should follow the criteria of the U.S. Department of Education.

I'd support removing uncited entries. But for the cited ones, I'd be hesitant to remove them in bulk, since the citations might indicate notability even without the presence of a page, particularly for institutions outside the Anglophile world.
Overall, this seems like a valid topic for a list article, but I would encourage reorganization to list institutions by country, as alphabetically isn't particularly useful. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:23, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Might be slightly difficult given how many of them operate in multiple countries. NM 17:10, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
For those, I'd use the country in which they're headquartered. Even if imperfect, a country-based listing would at least provide some sort of semantic grouping, whereas an alphabetic grouping doesn't communicate anything of significance. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:41, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Could you please add Wilmington University Metropolitan ? https://wilmingtonmu.edu.eu/

By it's own admission it is not accredited. This wikipedia page is for unaccredited which it confirms it is. See https://wilmingtonmu.edu.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Verification-of-Exemption-Letter-94874b1-Rev.-Nov.-2021-2.png

This "university" misrepresents itself. It uses the US California gov dept for the above exemption, but its operating from Malaysia. The exemption is (per the letter in the link above) for study SOLELY for the association (edu assist is the association setup for this purpose). Meaning that it is not for qualifications for external use but it's being presented that way.

Bottom line is it's not accredited and for that reason alone should be in this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.141.64.87 (talk) 03:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

== SELINUS UNIVERSITY has been granted Institutional Accreditation by USHEAC ==

This university needs to be removed from unaccredited list. Reference : Accrediting body membership page (search: SELINUS UNIVERSITY) https://www.usheac.org/non-profit-higher-education-organization-membership — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.21.255.142 (talk) 04:33, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

This list is pretty useless in its current form. It would be better to have this article be organized as several lists, separated by country (since accreditation is generally national). 2601:184:407F:C720:B896:4EC:F38D:55FA (talk) 12:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

University of North is listed as non accredited but in fact it is accredited and here is the proof https://ppe.schev.edu/list-private-postsecondary-schools 116.206.66.131 (talk) 08:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

That institution was indeed accredited by NECHE last year so I've removed it from this list. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 13:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
