    Helo Everyone!
    I am about to enroll at Princely International University but would like to know if it is an accredited institution or not.
    Thank you!

    They are accreditied but not by any organization that is recognized in the US. This statement alone would make me suspicious-
    Distance learning universities do not usually share the same accreditation criteria that traditional universities do.

    You could always look here - www.chea.org

    It is not. Run. Run as fast as you can.

    On a side note (and absolutely not directed against the original poster!): How do people find these "schools" anyway? Do they click Google ads? I mean, for any given subject, there is an institution that is affordable, respectable, and honest? Why even look at something like this place?

    The New York City 'campus' has a phone number in New Zealand. That's a bit unusual, right there. (And when I phoned that number, Telecom New Zealand reported that the number is not in service.)

    Not surprisingly, the New York "campus" address is a mail receiving and forwarding service called Virtual Office.

    The website registration is hidden through a privacy protection service. Not the sort of thing any legitimate institution would do.

    Take it from the comments here Sandi. It seems the school you’re targeting is suspicious so better search for other more reputable ones. If you have enough budget, don’t settle for the cheap ones because you’re only wasting your time and money.
