    "What type of accreditation is this?"

    In one word: bogus.

    The legitimate schools you see listed are victims of the "involuntary accreditation" process described on the policy page; in other words, the real schools did not request accreditation (nor would they), and are listed so as to give an impression of legitimacy for the three or four diploma mills scattered amongst the list.

    Most of the universities listed don't even offer online programs, my university is listed and we don't offer any kind of online program, it is clear to me that the intention of this accreditation organization is to deceive people by including good name universities together with the less than wonderful Trinity College and University. These guys of trinity are the masters of fraud.
