Because it'll be too obvious that you didn't learn how to spell diploma

huh thats bizarre, spell check thinks 'deploma' is right... wtf? Good thing i am not an English major. Stupid swipe.

They need to be accredited by different organizations, at least 1 regional or national I believe for it to be valid. Everyone knows that no one will have 100% A's for all their classes. They're suppose to review programs I believe as well.

NACS

Pretty much part of the BBB as well to say that they themselves are legit. You might be able to contact them if all else fails.

I'd check to see what accreditations your university has and try to contact them actually. Basically you aren't getting what you were promised or what the university promised they'd deliver so those people should be able to look into that. Without accreditation, most employers probably won't look too highly on people with degrees from said institution, and with that then what would be the purpose of going to said university? It means something isn't right and you'd best be spending your money elsewhere.

What He Said^^
Best Take your money elsewhere, If your not getting anywhere.

isn't that how you get accreditation at a school? by showing, in student graduation Exit exams, higher learned scores?

If you're getting 100% A's though, something is wrong. Statistically, that is impossible to get. If you do, the material is too easy and doesn't push enough, people are cheating, or the numbers are fabricated.

In theory nothing. A while back there was a player in the NFL (I think Charles Mann) that went to college for either 3 or 4 years, but had the reading ability of a 3rd grader. He never had any problems passing college level classes though. He says he had other people doing his work for him, but he was credited with the grades. I am sure he is not the only example.

Assuming it is an ABET accredited program. Read bottom of page 20 on.
