Since the
increase of internet business, how does a student know if the schools
are Accredited Online Universities? One way of finding out is checking
the Better Business Bureau to see if the school is really a registered
business, and then read the profile about them, which is all public and
free information. Accredited Online Universities will usually state it
somewhere on their website, offer a phone number to speak to a real
person, or is an established university like
Princeton who began offering online courses as a
supplement to their present students.
Usually,
before any Accredited Online Universities will accept you as a student,
they require your transcripts from high school or other colleges, an
application, and a personal statement before accepting you as a
student. Just like regular colleges, many offer financial aid toward
attending their colleges. These are some factors to look for when
searching around.
Calling the
College Board and checking to see if the college you are planning to
attend is legit is another step in protecting yourself. If the
Accredited Online Universities all checks out clear, then you are on
your way to getting accepted and beginning your college life experience
from the privacy and comfort of your own home. |
