It is imperative that students interested in quality postsecondary education focus on institutions that are accredited by recognized national competent authorities, such as recognized accrediting agencies. Unaccredited institutions and institutions claimed recognition by bogus accrediting agencies should be avoided. The credits and degrees awarded by unaccredited and bogus providers are unlikely to be recognized by legitimately accredited institutions, official professional licensing authorities, recognition authorities or reputable employers. For recognized U.S. institutions of higher education and postsecondary career and technical schools, go to  HYPERLINK "http://www.ed.gov/international/usnei/us/edlite-institutions-us.html" Institutions and Programs. The following resources can help you to avoid substandard and unaccredited institutions, unrecognized accrediting bodies, and academic frauds that have been or are being investigated and prosecuted. FEDERAL INFORMATION RESOURCES  HYPERLINK "http://www.ed.gov/students/prep/college/diplomamills/index.html" Diploma Mills and Accreditation is the U.S. Department of Educations overview and guide to how to recognize fraudulent institutions and accrediting bodies.  HYPERLINK "http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/scholarship/index.shtml" Scholarship Scams is the U.S. Federal Trade Commissions guide to avoiding fake offers of student financial assistance.

STATE INFORMATION RESOURCES NOTE: Because state governments actually oversee the organization and structure of U.S. higher education, the state agencies that publish information about diploma mills and accreditation mills are very important. Several states agencies now have the legal power to publish negative lists of unapproved, unaccredited, or illegal providers.  HYPERLINK "http://www.hawaii.gov/dcca/areas/ocp/udgi/" Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Guide to Unaccredited Degree-Granting Institutions provides links to information on Hawaiis actions to combat diploma mills, including lists of providers that have recently been prosecuted.  HYPERLINK "http://www.maine.gov/education/highered/Mills/Mills.htm" Maine Department of Education Degree Mills and Accreditation Mills Page provides information on Maine laws and procedures and a list of unaccredited institutions known to operate in Maine.

INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION RESOURCES Both UNESCO and the Council of Europe (COE) have suffered due to diploma mill and accreditation mill websites claiming that these international organizations recognize institutions or accrediting bodies. International organizations have no authority to do this, and mere affiliation with such an organization does not in any way confer educational status or recognition. Neither UNESCO nor the Council of Europe accredit or recognize institutions of higher education, nor do they recognize or approve accrediting agencies.
