St Clements University is registered in the Turks and Caicos Islands (British West Indies). It has a global network of 20 schools, each with different recognition by professional associations and local authorities.
Accreditation status
St Clements University is not accredited by any accreditation body recognised by the US Department of Education or many developed countries. In the United States there are over 60 professional accreditation agencies recognised by the Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). According to the Department of Education in the United States, unaccredited degrees and credits might not be acceptable to employers or other institutions and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.
Australian connection
In 1999, under parliamentary privilege [1], Senator Kim Carr referred to a number of institutions including St Clements University which, in his opinion, were operating from Australia as "degree mills". He said that when a member of his staff contacted the company identified as administering St Clements it was discovered that it was also a whiskey distributing company and alleged educational services company.[2] Senator Carr subsequently referred to St Clements as reminiscent of "the famous pirates of old . . . using legal devices and incompetence by government ministers and making a bridgehead into this country’s educational institutions"[2] and as being operated out of a "grog shop".
