Complaint Review: AIU Online - American InterContinental University Online

I attended AIU Online from December 2004 to July 2005. I "graduated" with an Associate's Degree in Business Administration. Notice the "graduation" remark.

I decided to attend Boston University (one of the top ranked universities in the nation)to obtain a B.S. in Liber Studies.

However, after review of my AABA from AIU Online, Boston University found that AIU Online is not an Accredited University. My transcripts will not transfer. This is the biggest and most expensive mistake of my life. I worked hard to obtain that degree, then to find out that it is worth nothing, not even the paper it was printed on.

PLEASE do not be misinformed of this for profit business!! I even researched this university. They accept Stafford Loans and the FASFA. I believed they were legite.

However, the traditional universities such as Boston, University of Southern California and even Texas Tech University will not accept these credits.

I just want to inform anyone that is even remotely thinking about attending this university to realize the true and actual consequences of your intent. This is a bogus institution. I will be contacting the federal government regarding my loans.

Please be aware! In my opinion, after finding this out, they should be catergorized as a diploma mill.
