    In order to adequately convey that LaSalle's shill of the week is simply trying to squeeze more money out of people they've already ripped off badly, and to convey the worthlessness of the apostille service they are offering, I'm reposting a message I originally posted on another thread, and I have retitled this thread, originally started by whomever is trying to rip off the LaSalle students, so that the information gets accurately conveyed.

    If you're seeing this post off of google, the Cliff Notes version is:

    A LaSalle / Orion degree is and was worthless. It is not now, and never was, accredited. It is not now, and never was, a legitimate school. In short, the degree is worth about as much as a pile of dog shit, and an apostille is a piece of paper that, in this context, certifies that you do, in fact, have a pile of dog shit. So if you are the owner of a LaSalle degree, I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do to turn a pile of dogshit into something worthwhile. So please ignore these dumbasses who are trying to separate you from even more of your money.


     
  2. LaSalle University Louisiana Apostille

    LaSalle Univeristy had a legal Apostille, which is an affirmation by the State of Louisiana certifying good standing of LaSalle University as a entity with legal status. The Apostille confirms that the signatures of the officials on the Degree is a true signature of the person. It also verifies the validity of the Degree. Reference: LaSalleUniversity.info

    Please note that LASALLE Education Corporation was a legal registered corporation within the State. In July 1997 because of all the bad publicity, Orion Education Corporation took over and it also was a legally registered Corporation within the State. ( Note you can order copies of the State Documents that verify this as a fact at (shilling URL removed by moderator )
     
  3. The record indicates that both LASALLE and Orion Education Corporations were operating legally and were in good standing within the State.

    On May 3, 1999 LASALLE University made application for accreditation with an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education, the US Military and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation. Their Application was accepted. (Per letter to me Source Code: JODOM98) However, because of low student enrollment, caused by the tremendous amount of negative media publicity, which was difficult to overcome, the application was later turned down and Orion Education Corporation had to ceased operations on May 31, 2002, because of financial difficulties, and not because of any illegal activity.

    The State Attorney's General office and The Secretary of State's office confirmed the school was operating legally, and were they permitted to issue valid Degrees.

    Moderators - can you delete this post?

    duplicate content posting and appears to be a non genuine post directly above this. My guess is they are trying to manipulate this for positive PR/referring doubting students/ and or SEO purposes.

    Yes, it appears to be an attempt to take advantage of the tendence for degreeinfo posts to show up on Google and other search engine results. So, for anyone who ends up on this thread looking for LaSalle University Louisiana (not Pennsylvania) info, please note that LaSalle University was shut down after selling worthless degrees, many of which have ruined the careers of their so-called "graduates.

    Apostilles play no role at all in the validation of degrees or the institutions that award them...period.

    It is good to spread this joke all over Google.

    Getting an apostille on a degree mill diploma doesn't validate by any means. In fact because of such exploits it is not a little bit more complicated to legalize a real degree to be used outside of the United States. For instance, one can go to the registrar's office of the University and ask them to issue a notarized document which proves that the person signing the document in this case Dean does exist. Also, many countries now require that such document after proper legalization be submitted to the consulate/embassy for evaluation. Usually, at that point the foreign authorities will verify the accreditation of such school.
    So just because apostille chain legalization was exploited it doesn’t mean that it is useless. Without it the process of legalizing the documents whether for business or for other purposes would be complicated to the extent that very few of us would even bother of doing anything overseas.
    Here’s some information about Apostille off the internet it also includes the link to the states who signed the Hague Convention of 1961 in regards to Apostille.

    In the spirit of this thread I have eliminated the link to "apostille" provided by Edward. Despite Edward's disclaimers it was clear to me that this was a link to a service that promoted the use of apostilles as a means of "legalizing" fake degrees.

    Gotta admire the scammers for being inventive in their attempts to rip off more people :)

    Interstingly enough you wouldn't get far legalizing a fake degree as stated below. This was to show the proper way of legalizing a document. Also, wasn't my link to the Hague Convention web site in regards to the list of countries to show when you do need an apostille and when you need foreign certification?

    In any case, the post was to show that even though there were exptoits in the system, there are still those who hold legitimate degrees and they use them outside of the United States and they too need an apostille on it.

    Regards,

    Ed

    Proving your fake degree is a fake degree is a loop hole to exploit? Gosh, I never know this.

    Sorry for posting on such an old thread, but was this before LaSalle was accredited? They appear to be regionally accredited at this point, or at least their M.Ed. program is. I was just reading this and looked them up so I was wondering how they were able to get RA. Did they always have it and were just under bad management back then?

    You sure that you're talking about the same LaSalle? There's been a hundred of them, mostly crooked.

    And is this a record for necromancing an old thread?

    But seriously, the accredited La Salle is a Catholic university in Philadelphia, PA. The unaccredited LaSalle (note, one word) in Louisiana was a thorn in their side for years, but Philly's La Salle (note, spelled as two words) has always had an outstanding reputation.

    This thread dates back to 2009. I've seen threads dating back to 2001 that have been necromanced.

    Oh, okay, the LaSalle that I was looking at was the Catholic one from PA, and it looks to be "LaSalle" as one word from what I can tell, which is maybe why I was mixing it up. I also just didn't know there were multiple. How could there have existed another, unaccredited LaSalle in Louisiana with their same name? Were they affiliated at one point in any way?

    In the same way that there was yet another one, LaSalle Extension University, a Chicago-based school that went defunct several years ago.

    And in the same way that there are many colleges, universities, and seminaries named Trinity - some are legit, and some are mills. And in the same way that there are several schools named Union. And even Oxford.

    And in the same way that there was once a degree mill in Florida called Thomas Edison University, which was a thorn in the side at the time to the legit Thomas Edison State College.

    Ditto the name Notre Dame, held by both the legit University of Notre Dame in Indiana and the legit Notre Dame College in Ohio, and at one time by Notre Dame de Lafayette University, a Coloraado degree mill that skipped off to Minnesota.

    I'm sure there are many other examples of common college names, but these are a few that come to mind without checking further.
