Term Black Listed might not be the right term, but it seems to convey the message. So, lets use black listed universities.
1. Universities that have caught for illegal activities
2. Schools that accept low profile students
3. Universities not Accredited and admitting foreign students College Accreditation Another question I hear is, What is accreditation and what does it mean to me? Accreditation means that the college has been looked at closely by people from other colleges.
A team from an Accrediting Association comes to the school and looks closely at the library, laboratories, administration, teaching, and the records of the school They ask, what are your major goals as a college or university? and then look closely to see if the school is accomplishing those goals. Some accrediting associations then entire college, and some specialized organizations look only at specific programs. For example some look at engineering programs, and some at business, education, and other programs. But the question for you is, what does all this mean to me as a student? The answer is that it means that there is serious quality control over the schools and their programs. This is so important that the U. S. government requires that only students going to accredited colleges can get government help with their finances. Unfortunately this does not help international students, but it tells you about how important accreditation is seen by the government. But even more important to you if you go to an accredited college in the U. S., take some courses, and then decide that you would rather go to another college, most of the credits which you earned by successfully taking those expensive college courses, can be transferred to the new school right with you. BUT if you go to an UNACCREDITED school, you can usually forget about transferring courses or credits. They are useless to you if you decide to move on to an accredited school.
