Rochville University has claimed to be accredited by various organizations, but none are recognized higher education accreditors. These have included the International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU), the Universal Council for Online Education Accreditation (UCOEA), the Board of Online Universities Accreditation (BOUA), and the World Online Education Accrediting Commission (WOEAC). The [[Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board]] reported that Rochville University and the accreditation boards appeared to be operated by the same individuals.<ref name=Malisow/> According to its website, the BOUA has accredited only one other institution, [[Ashwood University]],{{cn|date=August 2017}} which is believed to be Rochville University's sister operation.{{cn|date=August 2017}}
Because Rochville University is not accredited by any [[List of recognized higher education accreditation organizations|recognized accreditation bodies]] in the United States, its degrees and credits are unlikely to be acceptable to employers or academic institutions.<ref name=thecb/> Jurisdictions that have restricted or made illegal the use of credentials from unaccredited schools include [[Oregon]],<ref name="oda">{{cite web|url=http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/unaccredited.aspx |accessdate=December 27, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005050415/http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/unaccredited.aspx |archive-date=October 5, 2012 |title= Unaccredited Colleges |publisher= [[Oregon Office of Degree Authorization]] |date=2012-10-05 }}</ref><ref name="gazette">[http://www.billingsgazette.com/newdex.php?display=rednews/2005/01/30/build/wyoming/40-online-learning.inc State mulls online learning] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080115072626/http://www.billingsgazette.com/newdex.php?display=rednews%2F2005%2F01%2F30%2Fbuild%2Fwyoming%2F40-online-learning.inc |date=January 15, 2008 }} by the [[Associated Press]], ''[[Billings Gazette]]'', January 30, 2005</ref> [[Michigan]],<ref>[http://www.michigan.gov/documents/Non-accreditedSchools_78090_7.pdf Colleges and Universities not accredited by CHEA] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110628214640/http://www.michigan.gov/documents/Non-accreditedSchools_78090_7.pdf |date=June 28, 2011 }}, Michigan Education and Children's Services</ref> [[Maine]],<ref>[http://www.maine.gov/education/highered/Non-Accredited/non-accredited.htm Accredited and Non-Accredited Colleges and Universities], "Maine's List of Non-Accredited Post-Secondary Schools"</ref> [[North Dakota]],<ref name="gazette"/> [[New Jersey]],<ref name="gazette"/> [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]],<ref name="oda"/>{{dead link|date=July 2015}}<ref>[http://www.hecb.wa.gov/autheval/daa/ConsumerInformation.asp Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080106012006/http://www.hecb.wa.gov/autheval/daa/ConsumerInformation.asp |date=January 6, 2008 }}, ''Washington Consumer Information''</ref> [[Nevada]],<ref name="oda"/>{{dead link|date=July 2015}}<ref name="nevlaw">[http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-394.html#NRS394Sec700 Use of False or Misleading Degrees]</ref>[[Illinois]],<ref name="oda"/> {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161224234517/http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-394.html#NRS394Sec700 |date=2016-12-24 }} Nevada statute NRS 394.700</ref> [[Indiana]],<ref name="oda"/>{{dead link|date=July 2015}} and [[Texas]].<ref name=thecb>[http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/AAR/PrivateInstitutions/NoTX.cfm Institutions Whose Degrees are Illegal to Use in Texas] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080510233955/http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/AAR/PrivateInstitutions/NoTX.cfm |date=2008-05-10 }}, ''Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board''</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20121208222357/http://www.herald-coaster.com/articles/2007/09/28/news/top_story/topstory.txt Two less doctors in the house - Hebert, Wilson back away from Ph.D.'s issued by ‘diploma mills'], by Stephen Palkot, ''Fort Bend Herald'', September 28, 2007</ref> Many other states are also considering restrictions on the use of degrees from unaccredited institutions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/faq.html |accessdate=May 31, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120830151732/http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/faq.html |archive-date=August 30, 2012 |title=Is Oregon the only state that disallows use of unaccredited degrees?|publisher= Oregon Office of Degree Authorization |date=2012-08-30}} </ref>
