Yes, in the past, FMU has the issue because they keep accepting people while were waiting to be qualify for accredition. They were hoping that they would get accredition before all students they accepted at the time graduated, but they failed. You could read a lot about this at this government blog site.
It is good to recheck with the university to are transferring to, but the solution is irrelevant to the complaint. The university is supposed to inform students about their accredited courses. If they either lie to students that all courses are accredited with all universities or lie by omission (not inform students), they are at fault regardless. Students should not NEED to check their accredition against other universities. So the complaint to me still stands.

Just to keep this short, I have been reading a lot of reports about Everest/CCI/FMU being a "fake" school. Let me assure you that that is not the case. I just graduated from Everest with a Bachelors in Homeland Security. I applied to jobs after my first two years and recieved over a dozen call backs. Two jobs were offered to me from the Department of State, one of which I am still employed with. I also used my Everest transcripts to get two internships with the International Narcotics Bureau (INL).
So as you can see, Everest is a "real" college which is looked upon as such by employers. The people who are angry with them are usually the ones who did not do the correct research beforehand with regard to credits transferring. One should contact the school they intend to transfer the credits to BEFORE they attend Everest to make sure the transfer will work. It is not the school's fault that you tried to transfer online degree courses to a higher level college and failed.
