Ashworth University is not “a fraud” nor is it a “scam” and ‘Ripoff Reports’ should not be allowing posts from people like this blatantly lying about other institutions just because the individual student failed to do their work. You knew before you took classes at AU that the institution was nationally accredited (Distance Education Accrediting Commission) and that your credits “may not transfer” to other institutions, but still the fault is not AU’s it is the fault of the student. So when you called AU and they told you “it is not their fault that [your] credits will not be accepted”, they didn’t lie. They didn’t ‘rip you off’ or “scam” you.

AU is a respectable accredited college that doesn’t need to be taken “off the market” and there are numerous regionally accredited intuitions that accept AU (and other NA institutional) credits in transfer. Are there any in ‘your state’? I don’t know, but that is your job and duty to find out before taking a course from any other institution as to whether those credits will transfer. People who continue to falsely paint the NA institutions in a negative light, while praising RA institutions, only show they haven’t done any research.  Here are just a handful of RA institutions that accept AU (and other NA institutional) credits. Thomas Edison State University, American Public University(APUS), Western Governors University, Norwich University, Southern College, … It only takes a little online research to find this out.

Unfortunately, Lu is correct in that there is probably nothing you can do. Transfer credits are always up to the RECEIVING institution, unless there is an articulation agreement already in place (as is common between community colleges and the four-year schools in their state).

Your post is a warning to all those considering an online school. CHECK THE ACCREDITATION and make sure BEFORE you attend that if you plan to transfer, the follow pon school will accept the credits.

If you used federal financial aid you may want to consider calling your lender to see if they have any suggestions.

they are nationally accredited and their are regionally accredited schools that take their credits look at my other post complain to detc or department of education also to ashworth  so more schools will take their credits
