Definition from
Guide to Online Education:
Also called "degree mill." An organization lacking recognition by legitimate accrediting agencies which "awards" academic degrees and diplomas for a flat fee, usually requiring little or no academic study.
Example sentences:
Although many diploma mills claim to be “accredited,” their accreditation is from a bogus, but official-sounding agency that they created. (Federal Trade Commission)
The terms "unaccredited" and "diploma mill" are sometimes improperly treated as synonomous. In fact, there are a wide range of institutions representing themselves as colleges or universities that grant degrees but do not meet New Jersey standards. (NJ Commission on Higher Education)
These "schools" promise a fast and easy road to a degreed job but you can destroy your professional reputation for life by using a degree from a diploma mill, and that "fast and easy road" can lead straight to prison. (Degree Finders)

Definition from
Nokut (Nasjonalt organ for kvalitet i ut:
Bløffuniversitet / diplommølle<br /><br />"Det er to hovedgrupper av falske utdanningsdokumenter:<br /><br /> * Vitnemål som gir seg ut for å være utstedt ved et universitet, ved at de ligner de autentiske vitnemålene.<br /> * Vitnemål fra institusjoner som bare utsteder dokumentene uten å tilby utdanning. Disse institusjonene omtales ofte som bløffuniversitet eller diplommøller og dokumentene er for så vidt ekte nok, men har ingenting med universitetsutdanning og akademiske grader å gjøre."
Example sentences:
Bløffuniversitet: diploma mill / degree mill (An organization that awards diplomas with very little or no academic study, and without recognition by official accrediting bodies) (Universitets- og høgskolerådet (UHR))
