== == The United States does not have a federal law that would unambiguously prohibit diploma mills, and the term "university" is not legally protected. As a result, the United States is a diploma mill haven from a global viewpoint. The United States Department of Education lacks direct plenary authority to regulate schools and, consequently, the quality of an institution's degree. Under the terms of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, the U.S. Secretary of Education is required by law to publish a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies that the Secretary determines to be reliable authorities on the quality of education or training provided by the institutions of higher education that they accredit. Diploma mills are mainly found in the U.S. jurisdictions which have not adopted tough laws to prohibit them. Also, some degree mills have taken advantage of the U.S. Constitution's protection of religion by representing themselves as Bible colleges, since in many jurisdictions religious institutions can legally offer degrees in religious subjects without government regulation. Nevertheless, some religious colleges and seminaries have been fined for issuing degrees without meeting educational requirements Database for accreditation - http://www.chea.org/ Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploma_mill My daughter went to a private Christian non-accredited high school and graduated. Now that she is applying for government positions, the merit board has disqualified her application because she has a diploma from a non accredited high school.
Most universities will accept a non-accredtied degree, as they will also accept home-schooled students (which is pretty much the same as an un-accredited diploma). However, you need to show that you are worthy with passable SAT or ACT scores. In addition, most community colleges will accept anyone, regardless of if they even have a high school diploma. in addition, you can use the diploma to apply for federal financial aid for college.
When it comes to state and government jobs, it gets a little shady. However, you can join the military with a non-accredited diploma, by taking the Armed Forces Qualification Test.
YES

They are accepted by most state schools, however, good luck getting the school to cooperate. Their student services department is rude, they grade tests through the mail so if you have a problem, you have to wait two - three weeks to find out. They never use the internet for tests so everything is paper and pencil. This school is not worth the money!

While in the Army I completed my high school and was given a Washington State High School diploma. How can I get a copy of it?
Accredited academic credentials get accepted everywhere, since they are recognized by a proper accreditation agency. Woodfield offers accredited high school diploma, so I don't think you will have any problem applying for a job or admission in community college or a state university. But remember that your diploma is not the guarantee that you will definitely get admission.
Finish school.
I graduated from cosmopolitan prep school in 1996 and my diploma is not accredited by the state what colleges will take this diploma?
Online high school is a valid alternative for many students, whatever the reason. As long as you choose a school that is fully accredited in your state, credits earned will lead to a recognized high school diploma.
No.
It is an online school so yes the diploma will be valid in the state of Florida as well as any other State.
State governments have primary policymaking responsibility for setting the requirements for receiving a high school diploma.
