The Council for Higher Education Accreditation’s (CHEA) report entitled, “Toward Effective Practice: Discouraging Degree Mills in Higher Education” states, “We are likely to be dealing with a degree mill when the operation is accurately described by some or all of the following. Any one of these descriptors should be cause for concern:
- Lack legal authority to operate as higher education institutions or award degrees.
- Require little if any attendance, either on-site or online.
- Require little if any coursework or few if any assignments to obtain a credential.
- Do not provide information about location of incorporation, ownership or governance.
- Provide little or no contact information other than telephone or email address.
- Publish false or exaggerated claims of external quality review (accreditation or quality assurance).
- Issue degrees that are not accepted for licensing or entry into graduate or professional programs in the degree mill’s home country.
- List academic staff whose degrees were issued by degree mills or are unable to provide verifiable lists of academic staff and their qualifications.
- Plagiarize material from legitimate institutions for inclusion on degree mill Websites.
- Feature Websites with Internet domain registration that is obscured by a privacy service rather than being publicly accessible.

At Tech University of America we require that students participate continuously throughout the entire eight week terms. In fact, we have adopted CSIdentity’s Voice Verified solution to ensure that the students who enroll in our courses are the same students who participate in our courses and ultimately receive academic credit. Students will have to verify their identity using CSIdentity’s Voice Verified solution at randomly determined points throughout every course in which they seek to earn academic credit.
At Tech University of America our courses require a lot of work on the part of our faculty and students. Students much complete weekly discussion questions as they interact regularly with a faculty member and other students. Each course has assessments that include, but are not limited to quizzes, term papers, group projects and examinations.
