Default how to know if your school is accredited

Ok i know this maybe a simple question, but I wanted to know how do you check out a school to make sure that it is 100% accredited? That classes you take there will be excepted other places.

Thanks

I would call a larger university and ask them if they would accept credits from the school. I am thinking about attending. I would also find out the school accredidation and just google it to see what comes up.

School website should tell you what schools the credits will transfer to. Does it have any transfer partnerships? Like the above person said- you could call the school you have in mind and make sure they'll transfer.

Also, does the school allow FAFSA?

Here's links that might help on accreditation ~

Yes they do allow FASFA, if they do does this mean that they are accredited? I will call and ask the other college . See i was looking at a few of the online schools to get a degree in and just wanted to make sure.
