Why "Of the People"?

[durain]

Which European countries do not recognize RA degrees issued by UoPeople?

I have not seen a single evidence. Except one case, not sure where it was (British Isles? Belgium?) where it was obviously a skill issue of applicant who IIRC was denied due to NA accreditation at the time when RA was approved shortly before and didn't follow-up.
And reports from people who relied on emails at the time when approval was fresh, instead of submitting  request for validation. Which doesn't make sense to anyone who understands how institutions work.

Also IMHO it is not correct that degree is not recognized in Germany. In Anabin uni was H-, ie. "not recognized". Following accreditation, it was removed from db, which means that it is no more "not recognized".

Anabin is tough. They even don't recognize some EU degrees. I wouldn't be surprised if I see H- again. But I have yet to read a single report about degree rejected or approved by Anabin.

Sometimes it seems to me as if we were on a board about Ivy League schools, but then wake up on Degreeforum (where people search for all kinds of non-RA degrees, holes in systems, credits from the strangest sources ever, yet here we are finding every imaginable fault there is on a regionally accredited university - and I have been for quite some time checking for info about numerous schools quite esteemed here and have found most of what is discussed and even more there too...)

While Anabin is a useful resource, it’s not always up to date. For example, Florida Polytechnic University (among others) was missing the last time I checked.

Key Questions that need to be factcheck:

1. Which European countries explicitly do not recognize degrees from the University of the People after it gained U.S. Regional Accreditation in 2024 last year?

2. What specific examples or evidence exist regarding UoPeople’s lack of transparency? (E.g., undisclosed fees, unclear transfer policies, accreditation claims, etc.)

Would appreciate insights—especially from those with direct experience or official sources. To avoid misinformation, personal anecdotes are welcome but should be clearly distinguished from fact.
