Corllins University review: RIP OFF 43

There is no such thing as life experience degree. All of these "universities" are scams. If you aren't willing to go to classes to get your degree, you don't deserve one. The *real* accreditation process would never accept these companies as real institutions of higher learning. There are NO shortcuts to credentials. Period.

There is a link to check any school to see if it is legitimate before even considering it:

I spoke to Daniel Taylor today he sound convincing. If you look at universal university.com
The comment that was made by someone states that this degree will help you not to be hired.

Can Daniel or the Corllins university (universal degrees) team clarify this type of comment, statement

University have huge burden regarding teacher management, student management and all

Best of all...a Larraine Simpson, Student Counselor, Corllins University sent me a email that states following:
I have already saved a lot of your time by working on your resume and making it more presentable. If you do not respond today, it will lead to the termination of your evaluation approval. You would then be required to re-apply for the evaluation of the program of your choice and hence re-work on your resume.

Why would they pressure someone to get payments done in less than seven days?Holy ###! do they want you to get it done in a day?Some students take up to 7 years!
Stay away people this is a money making scam!

Has someone obtained a job with a Corllins degree?

Degree Requirements

A Master’s Degree normally requires 60 credits. To qualify for a Master’s Degree from Corllins University, you should have any one of the following:

2 years prior work/life experience related the area of study in which you want to earn your Master’s Degree.

5 years’ prior work/life experience related the area of study in which you want to earn your Master’s Degree plus an Associate Degree.

- This is what they say on their website. 3 worrying things right here

1. It says you should have one of the following, 2yrs work experience compared to 5 yrs work expereince plus associates.. i'm sorry but 2 yrs compared to 5 yrs + an associates? doesn't quite add up..

2. The English grammar takes a beating - work/life experience related the area of study SHOULD BE work/experience related TO the area of study

3. I'm sorry but there's no such thing as LIFE experience. You're born, you grow up, become a teenager, get a job after university or school, get married, kids, grandkids, live a bit more and die - thats life experience.. you can't compare or even co-relate life experience to work experience. What a buncha idiots!

Guys, I’ve done the same, they told me it will takes around 12 days maximum and it will be fully legalized and attested from such and such and nothing happened, and after a long chats with them, everybody were saying a different scenario and a different story due to the irrelevant relation between them, finally I canceled my application and I’ve sent them email stating that I’m not interested at all in this commercial and scam university, I need my money within 5 days unless I will escalate this issue with my bank, five days later and they funded the amount.

Which is more giggle after I canceled and got the payment, I received the certificate from this dumb guys……………………………………. But without the attestation were talked about! Which means they are lying and they are nothing at all. Meanwhile, they sent me many emails, you should repay in order to send you a new documents as the one you are holding now is not valid any more, see how much they are dummy and think people are likewise.!

Cassian
To is just nothing but a [censor] coz these people were able to draw cash from my VISA account without me filling any documents. What worries me most is how they got my email password when it is actually supposed to be secret. This suggest they are also computer hackers. My major challenge is how to recover my 524 US dollars which has been ripped from my VISA account without my consent. Anyone outside theren to advise me.

To me I feel it is just nothing but a [censor] coz these people were able to draw cash from my VISA account without me filling any documents. What worries me most is how they got my email password when it is actually supposed to be secret. This suggest they are also computer hackers. My major challenge is how to recover my 524 US dollars which has been ripped off from my VISA account without my consent. Anyone outside theren to advise me.

I totally disagree with your assessment Cassian. What i have read about Corllins is that it is an accredited university that offers great online learning opportunities. I suggest you should research more about any institution before leveling allegations at it.

When they contacted me and I told them that I think this is a scam- he goes on to tell me that the University has been functioning for about 2 decades. And it is highly impossible that the United States would let a scam run for so long and not have the FBI/CIA look into it.

Yes i agree, because if this university is a total scam, then the legal authorities must have blocked their website even. And, instead talking ill of any organization, either dont go to them if you dont like them, or if you find them scam, send complaints to the authorities under whose supervision these are still existing and propagating. Merely crying and blaming is not enough, nor good. Thus, to cut long things short I think these universities give an opportunity to working professionals to secure self esteem, and compete those traditional universities, the workers of which sometimes make the studies and passing ratio so impossible that decades are spent in acquiring a degree and your hair is white and children are young and the market needs are changed, when you finally get the degee. Hhah. Agreed?

Sincere, Mr. Shahenshah

There are such things as life experience degrees as you are given credits for your life experience. Please check out Western Governors University and others, before you make any sort of accusations. The complainers here seems to be uneducated but to direct their complaints against any sort of institution that offers credit for life experience. Which has been said and accredited through CHEA and DEA. You must properly do your research before making any sort of accusations and before making any sort of propaganda as you of all people are applying for a degree from these institutions. Educate yourself before making the complaint. This is how I see it, I graduated from George Mason with a Graduate in Marketing, but to see that people have time to complain on colleges that they're applying to is ridiculous. Be educated and if you are want to go to your brick and mortar college then get your lazy [censor] up and go to college or better yet to your community college down the street. Lazy people always whine and complains...

I have to agree this university is a scam more than likely. I had a fella call me today and give me the complete pep talk about how they are an accredited university. I wanted to do online courses. They again sounded ok at this point as they have 24 different classes to get 144 hours of credit. A bit less time and $$$ was being discussed with the gentlemen on the phone also today. When I asked him if they did the following items...are you accredited thru the US Dept. of Education, Do you help with financial assistance, where are you loacated exactly and can I come to see your school...well I started getting the following...No, , , , , , NO, , , , NO & last answer NO! Folks please stay away from this program or you'll be waisting a whole lot of your hard earned cash. No Fortune 500 company will accept this as a ledgit degree when you go to apply for a job. Just thinking out loud here! Glynn

Its totally scam...confession i took my masters degree ... now i am applying for visa and have to select the state where the university is located to just fine theres none is virtual and went to there online chat...he came very nicel "hell how are you today" i said i got the degree and today applying for immigration visa so thought to claim points however i cannot find university in list also it asks what state...and guess what he disconnected the chat and since than i am not able to get hold of these guys...also guys dont use it in CV one search of HR and you be ending up getting out of interview with handcuffs for fraud and cheating...i have learn one of the guy got reply to his query and ip address for from pakistan...also university certificate is coming from saudi, etc so you can guess how it is...BEWARE..FAKE ..SCAM..

i got call from corllins university and they smoothly force me to pay for my degree attestation but still suspect them...can any one tell me is it right university and right attestation?

still these universal degrees staff, think we are educated idiotics, nonsense.definitely something had to be done immediately fr this scam.definitely it is an scam.
DR.G

Tanks God there is this site, I was about to get hooked, but it was so fishy that I had to check it out here.Thank you guys for sharing this with other people who can easily fall into this.

Corllins University; They old me its in USA but operate outside of USA. They say their bank a/c in Cyprus. I asked for the officially registered address location in the USA, the nice talking student counsellor seemingly got agitated and frustrated. What do you make out? BE CAREFUL CHECK WITH GOVT AUTHORITIES.

Yes, thanks God that there are such forums and we could get some information in advance. Thank you guys, after all, as someone mentioned it here, there could be better ways to "squander" our stashed away money.

I don't believe it! This website is advertising Almeda University. a corporation registered on the Caribbean island of Nevis.[7] Almeda claims accreditation by the Council for Distance Education Accreditation, Interfaith Education Ministries (IEM) and the Association for Online Academic Excellence (AOAEX);[8] none of these are recognized by the United States Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.[9] On its website, Almeda states that its claimed sources of accreditation are not recognized by the US Department of Education, with the result that students cannot receive US federal loans or assistance under the GI Bill and Almeda degrees may not be recognized by academia or employers.[8]

Connecticut: According to the Connecticut Department of Higher Education, Almeda was ordered to cease operating in Connecticut in October 2001. After an investigation in 2002 indicated that Almeda was continuing to advertise its programs in Connecticut, the Department of Higher Education sent Almeda a second cease and desist letter and referred the issue to the Connecticut Attorney General for possible legal action.[10]
Florida: In 2003 the Florida Department of Education made an agreement with Almeda to cease operating in the state. Although Floridians can still get a degree from the online university, Almeda warns Floridians that its degrees may not be valid for public employment in Florida.[11]
Texas: Almeda is on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Boardlist of "Institutions Whose Degrees are Illegal to Use in Texas."[2]
Other states: Almeda's website also warns Almeda degrees may not be valid for public employment in Illinois, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota, Washington and Idaho.[7]

they are genuine if state dept attest degree

UNIVERSAL DEGREE A SCAM AND A RIP OFF.Corillins university not accredited.I recieved a certified that reads Corillins unibersity this scam place cant spell to save thier lives.I was ripped off and my visa credit card was overcharged.

BEWARE.. ITS ALL FAKE...

I was attendindg corllins university that school is by far the biggest scam in the world I went to my employer so I can move up on my job for better opportunity and they told that we cant accept that scam degree they say there global accrecreited but that a lie this people will try to take your money all the of the costumer representive have the same autrailian accent so dont waste you money and time that school is fake like tooth fairy and santa claus.

Please dont beleive this university. they told me it accredited all over world. for me i spent lot of money for canadian visa. i submitted corllins university MBA certificate. it is rejected by canadian high commission. PLEASE DONT WASTE OR LOSE UR MONEY BYgiving to
fake corlllns university. I am totally disappointed and wasted money.
i asked them why it is rejected they said one attestation is missing that we will do and give u then it will be accepteed. again ipaid for the attestation. today28apr2011 i recd the documents without any attestation. I am trying to talk to JEFF ARCHER who was handling my case . But there are not answering me. i am waiting from the morning to know why they not done any attestion. THEY ARE VERY VERY CHEATING PEOPLE. PLEASE TAKE THIS ADIVCE DONT PAY. US GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY ACTION AND CLOSE THE UNIVERSITY. PLEASE IF ANYBODY KNOW WHERE TO COMPLAINT. I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT. LIKE ME NOBODY SHOULD SUFFER.

I JUST FINISHED MY BACHELORS AND PAID $200.00 FOR MY DOCUMENTS, WHICH HAS BEEN PROMISED TO ME WITHIN 10 DAYS. ITS GOING ON TO TWO MONTHS AND I HAVE NOTHING PLUS THEY REFUSE MY CALLS AND EMAILS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FBI AND I INTEND TO EXPOSE THEM. I INTEND TO GET MY MONEY BACK. WE ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND GET RID OF THESE SUCKERS.

It seems to me that you guys can't spell! Can't write! Can't handle your money! What kind of people whould actually give you anything for life experience. Aha you could say that these few USD have paid (or have been scasmmed of) for at least some life experience. Ask them for a degree in fraud, you have the experience to get a Masters in that! Haha this was so funny reading your bad tempered bad English looking for allies. Sorry I shouldn't laugh you are only trying to get a better life. Be patient do some learning, and good luck in the future with your studies and visas. Hmm you know some people actually work all there lives, study all their lives. Try it its actually very rewarding. AGC

It is time that everyone should lodge a comprehensive report to the FBI. How is it that you go after money launderers and drug dealers but they cannot recognize that they need to shut these people down PERMANENTLY and find them in order to imprison them. They belong in prison.

I am expecting my Degree tomorrow after waiting the promised 10 to 15 days. (So Far So Good)
It was an Unsecured Visa Transaction, but I cancel my Visa card straight after the transaction was made over the phone. (For Caution) or get a payment limit on your Credit Card.
I paid extra for it to be attested.(lets See)
I will find out if it will be accepted for my work visa.
PS. My Life’s work experience is much more practical and knowledgeable than some others with a lot of theory from there Universities. (But I respect there theory’s and long hours of study’s etc)
Quote: They say theoretically it can’t be done!
Quote: I say practically I have done it mate! And it can be done!

Wish me luck

please join me in my mission to expose the reall face of Corllins university
