Don't misrepresent where you went to school.

We have multiple university systems: Texas A&M, Texas Tech, University of Texas, University of Houston, and Texas State. There might be one more system, but it's not big.

University of Houston, Texas A&M, and University of Texas have separate schools with the same name just with a different city (or location) at the end. They're separate schools accredited independently with different adminissions requirements and levels of prestige. For example, University of Houston - Downtown has a reputation of not being as good as University of Houston. Even though it's not in a different city, it's a separate school. 

On the other hand, UTSA has a downtown campus that's a part of the main campus. Texas State University has a Round Rock campus that's a part of the main school in San Marcos.

Yes, if you enrolled at the regular school but attend at a satellite campus, then you list the school that you went to (it will say the school name on the diploma, btw).

Question: what if your school changes it’s name after you graduate? Like, you graduated from Hollins College, but it is now Hollins University? Or Clinch Valley College has been renamed UVA Wise? Is it okay to put the current name of the school?

I have two degrees and from two different generations. Wink   I never use the Regents College name as it never appears on anything I ever had and was the name in between.


Excelsior College, Albany, New York (for the current one)

The University of the State of New York (USNY) now called Excelsior College, Albany, New York (for the 1st one)

Do employers check education credentials in the private sector? I used to work with someone who lied for twenty-years that he had a BA from the University of Cape Town.

I know someone who listed a diploma mill on his resume and no one ever checked. I knew right away when he listed it on Facebook because I recognized the name. Just because one can get away with it, it shouldn't be done. It could bite you big time if someone checks.

As far as leaving things off, I doubt I'll list my AA degree now that I have a BA. I don't think anyone will care about something I earned 20+ years ago.

Many do, some don't.  I personally wouldn't take the chance.

Two people on that list were convicted for lying.

I don't know why that one guy was so ashamed of his Boston University degree that he decided to lie.

So 3 people stand out as getting away with it for a while.  You haven't heard about all the people who didn't get away with it, because there are way too many to list.
