Thanks for this Forum. It is God sent. I was searching through the web, trying to find an accredited online university. But did not know what to look for. I also visited MUST University.

As a personal policy, I don't purchase anything until I have made online review search and hear what others have to say. Your answers helped me a lot. I also saw another website which mentioned the same concerns you raised: no physical address and traceable phone numbers, not being accredited by the US Education Dept. just to name a few.

I see why student testimonials are not accepted by other review websites, because MUST University can send their agents to pose as students. The testimony of one of the student earlier in this Forum, still does not satisfy the doubts on accreditation. If you are a real student and not a MUST University agent, you will wake one day, and find that you have spent your money and time on nothing. All these people cannot be lying. Look at the overwhelming majority of witnesses who do not know one another and at the inconsistencies with the responses from MUST University.

As you would not buy a car without driving it, why should you make an online purchase without first checking if what you are going into is real of fake?

Thank You a lot. You saved me money, time, effort and even endless pain.

The absence of physical campus should not mean the absence of physical address. If they were credible and real, they will have physical presence as well. We are not disputing the classes. Maybe they are there maybe not. But before I get to classes, I want reassurance that they are there and are real. And so far, they don't meet the challenge.

I am so glad that I found this Forum, because sure I was falling for their bait.

MUST is a fake school that has certain accreditation for GED programs in a few states. When it comes to higher education it is not an accredited college. They do not have a physical address or instructors to advise you. They are not recognized by Federal or State that is why they put you on a student deferred payment plan, and you must sign an electronically release form giving them permission to access your personal account via a debit/credit card. I did not want to be a student at this fake school, and they made an unauthorized transaction from my personal account. Below is part of conversation I had with them. This was supposed be a contract special that they advertised to get a degree for as low as $99.97 per month.

You: I need to talk to Anthony Harris. I am doing a follow-up on the wait time for my refund of $382.50 which you had taken without my consent from my personal account. Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Anthony Harris'.

You are now chatting with 'Anthony Harris'
Anthony Harris: Hello. How may I assist you?
You: I am doing a follow-up on the wait time for my refund of $382.50 which you had taken without my consent from my personal account.
Anthony Harris: May I have your student ID please?
You: one moment
You: *******
You: I talked to my lawyer and the bank representative who are assisting me. They both said that in my case I should not have to wait so long. I am getting hit with all kinds of overdraft fees. I need to pay. I am at a standstill with my life because of this tragedy.
Anthony Harris:...the refund has been posted from our side
Anthony Harris: You should be getting it within 24 hours time at the most
You: I will keep checking.
Anthony Harris: Ok.
Anthony Harris: ....the refund has been posted from our side
Anthony Harris: You should be getting it within 24 hours time at the most
You: I will keep checking.
Anthony Harris: Ok.
You: I hope you have a better day or week. I have not.


Needless to say, I did not get my refund; Anthony is pretending we did not have this conversation. Sometimes you cannot get through by phone or by online chat. DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM OF THIS FAKE COLLEGE.

can you believe it guys - MUST is attending an education exhibition in Dubai - http://www.mustuniversity.com/getex/index3.aspx

I can't believe the authorities let them exhibit

Any organization can attend almost any conference nowadays, as long as they pay the fees. The last two conferences where I was a presenter charged vendors up to $2,000 to exhibit. There were people there who were selling educational products that were quite dubious but hey there were disclaimers on the conference brochure and on the registration page after one signed up. Just because Must "U" can attend an exhibition in Dubai, doesn't mean that its legitimate, just means that they have the money to pay the registration fees!
