Question by Stonker: My graduate school isn’t verifying my degree certificate (online program), what to do?
I did my graduate degree through an online program and then went on to do my post graduate degree from a recognized school, there weren’t any issues but recently the local franchise through which I did my graduate program closed their operations and just to ensure that all is good I tried to get my credentials verified from the University and they refused to acknowledge the degree. Though I have a post graduate degree from another University but I am still concerned because while I have a Masters degree I don’t have a Bachelors degree anymore! Please suggest what should I do? Should I register myself into another bachelors program and if I do so, what will be the standing of my post graduate degree or is there any other option which I can opt?

Hey,
Not to be rude, but you really shoul not have done you Bachelor’s degree through an online service, but what you should do is go through an Accredidation Service. The US has multiple Accredidation services that certify the value to college degrees, and usually students who attend universities overseas or lesser-known institutions need to go through this.
They evaluate whether the courses and course content you went through in credible. They also look at the college or university in which you received your degree. It’s a hassle to go through this process, but many students have done it. Just hope that they do not reject you, because then you degree may not have any merit or value.
Also be aware that private businesses and organizations normally do not look for verifications and so forth, they simply want to know you have a degree and are capable in withstanding the task at hand. Public agencies, on the other hand, require it so good luck.
