International Affairs Office U.S Depertment of Education FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 30, Departmentof International Students“It has come to our attention that international students are having a problem with registering in non-accredited institutions in the U.S that later do not offer recognized programs”, said the chairman. We are therefore encouraging the students to make a conclusive research before registering in any institution. Students should ensure that they consult before starting the programs and we advise them to contact the Department of International student on information that relates to the colleges or institutions they wish to attend.

We believe the students bear the utmost responsibility since they make the individual choices depending on their preference. A committee member reckoned that, “the international students form a huge part and we are conscious of their different problems and they should therefore feel encouraged and safe while applying for courses in the United States”. “The main reason for this press release is to address the problem of online courses that are increasing radically” added another committee member.

It is challenging for the department to control the number of colleges that are advertising for international courses online since we do not have control or access to the information that is released to people all over the world. In this regard we are therefore, looking for ways to control the number of these adverts over the internet and engage other government department to help in curbing the problem. The Department of International Students has received these complaints from citizens currently in the United States and in other parts of the world.

We want to reiterate that although it is possible to control the problem within the country the same cannot be replicated in other parts of the world. This is because some of the messages the students receive are scams and they may originate from the home country. We are advising all students that although the terms and conditions for some and not all of these institutions may seem credible it is advisable if they could contact us so that we can get the information and relay to them whether it’s credible or not.

We are looking to engage other student bodies and organizations in other countries to get their view on the methods that they use to eradicate the problem and see what we as a department can use to help the students. “However, as aforementioned, the student bears the highest responsibility since they make the independent choices on the best courses that are in line with their abilities and interests”, concluded the chairman.For international students interested in studying in the United States, visit http://www.
