Accreditation and Credit Transfer Education Fraud

Accreditation and Credits Transfer Fraud Attorneys

While the adage that "your education cannot be taken away from you" will always hold true, it doesn't feel that way when you are unable to transfer your credits to another school and continue your education. The problem intensifies if your school assured you of its accreditations, and you have spent tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours acquiring a large number of school credits.

Accreditation often causes confusion in the world of for-profit schools. Contrary to public perception, accreditation is unregulated in the United States, and understanding the concept is difficult.

For example, for-profit schools often cite that they are accredited by the national Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS). However, many schools and public college systems disregard this rating, and will not recognize credits and degrees from many for-profit schools.

The nationwide college and accreditation fraud law firm of Van Wey & Johnson believes it is the responsibility of for-profit schools to accurately explain its accreditation to each student. The law agrees, and we have successfully used educational fraud laws to sue schools and win large cash awards for students who are unable to transfer school credits to other schools and programs.
