During my research on Online Universities I came across few renowned universities which were offering accredited degrees & Woodfield University was one of them. I was more interested in knowing the way these universities work, and to my surprise there is a thorough verification process conducted before providing any sort of acknowledgement or degree to an individual on the bases of educational credentials submitted by them while applying for the program. & only online universities provide flexibility for working adults which makes it easier for them to earn their degrees either on the basis of life or work experience or by appearing for an online equivalency test.According to their website they are accredited by UAAOE which is an international accreditation agency. Go through their website.
To verify, whether an online educational setup is fake or not, we should have to investigate the accreditation status of it first. Regarding Woodfield High School, when we look at its website, it looks very attractive with a proof of its accreditation from Universal Accreditation Agency for Online Education (UAAOE). <><> Checking out the accreditation, etc. of Wood field Online High School, turns up the only information on the UAAOE is in the school's own information, only. A reverse telephone search on their number turned up "no information". With no address or telephone number, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) could provide no information. As to whether the school or that accrediting agency is legitimate, consider the Related Link below and draw your own conclusions.
Well in the United States education department itself does not approve or disapprove universities. However, there are regional, national and international accreditation agencies that provide accreditation to educational institutes based on their quality standards. Woodfield University is accreditated with UAAOE which is an international agency. Online universities go for international recognition because they have a global alumni and student body and they all need their degrees to be recognized locally as well as internationally.

Woodfield High School is a diploma mill. The accrediting agency it claims by which to be accredited is one that is not recognized by the United States Department of Education. If you "earn" a high school diploma from this school it is unlikely that it will be recognized for admission to a college.It claims accreditation, but the agency is questionable. See the Related Question below.See the Related Question below for more information about its accreditation.I was surprised to see that some high school is offering GED diploma, and just as I thought they are not offering GED diploma. Woodfield high school offers what they call GED alternative, but it is actually a high school diploma. In my opinion, a high school diploma is much better than a GED.For more information regarding the accreditation, see the Related Question below.
Woodfield is not only a diploma mill, but it is part of the huge conglomeration of diploma mills including Belford University. They are the worst type of diploma mill -- operating from Pakistan and UAE. They are the worst of the worst!The following from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) -Based on BBB files, this business has a BBB Rating of F on a scale from A+ to F. Reasons for this F rating include:* 173 complaints filed against business* Failure to respond to 172 complaints filed against businessFrom the company....Woodfield University is an online educational institute that offers degree programs for prior learning and life experience. There is nothing fake here; the university provides students exactly what the website claims. Prior learning is a relatively new concept so there is very little clarity over the topic among the general public which might confuse some people. Prior learning is a phrase used to describe a person's prior knowledge, talents and skills acquired through self learning, working, or any other source. The concept is to acknowledge the contributions of the people who do not have a college degree but have experience and knowledge acquired through years of hard working.Woodfield advertises that you can receive a diploma/degree within 15 days. The Better Business Bureau (see the Related Link below) says this type of educational institution is a diploma mill, and that legitimate schools or employers won't recognize these "life experiences" credentials for continuing education nor employment.
