PLEASE HELP! Diploma!?
Question:
After years of a studying with a curriculum, I got a Belford Diploma online. My father took it to my old public high school principal to check if it was legit and he let us know that it was.
So I come online to randomly search for this school that I "graduated" from because I'm getting ready to apply to college. And I see all these things about how it's fake and it's a degree mill and if you take it into a college, they'll laugh in your face.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? CAN I REALLY NOT GET INTO COLLEGE WITH THIS DIPLOMA?
Answer:
Read what Belford HS says about their high school diplomas and college entrance at the internet site under Source(s) below.
Other websites indicate Belford is accredited by online accredicting associations. But not all accrediting is the same.
When on the internet, it's tough to know what to believe and what to doubt. From my limited review of the internet, the only glowing statements about a Belford HS diploma are on their own website. As I understand it, the Belford HS diploma is granted based upon life experience. A somewhat relevant question is whether life experience is of the extent and quality necessary for you to apply to the college or university of your choice. Maybe a local community college will accept your Belford HS diploma as the basis for enrolling you. I hope you the best in your continuing education. You may have an interest in getting trained in a trade at a trade school.
If the reports are right about the school being fake, you've got 2 issues. First, there was probably some illegal fraud that was pulled on you and your father, so talk to a lawyer or the police about that. Second, you can still probably take an exam and get a GED from your local school district, which will be just as good as a regular high school diploma when applying to college.
