Legal status of academic degrees
Academic degrees granted by IU Vienna within the period of accreditation (4 January 2001 through 31 July 2003) are legal in Austria and other EU countries. Any degrees granted after the revocation of accreditation came into force (i.e. after 31 July 2003), lack accredited status, and their use may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions. The university states that its degrees are licensed in Alabama, but as an unaccredited institution use of these degrees in some contexts within the United States and elsewhere may also be restricted or illegal. For example, the Office of Degree Authorization of Oregon lists International University Vienna as an unaccredited foreign degree supplier and advises "employers, potential students, potential clients and others doing business with users of these degrees" to "take appropriate steps to determine the true nature of the credentials ... in order to ensure that degrees are genuine and are being used legally".
Withdrawal of university accreditation
Between January 2001 and July 2003, IU Vienna was accredited as a private university by the accreditation council of the Austrian government. The initial accreditation had been granted only for a period of three years due to concerns on some critical issues (recruitment of scientific staff, research, library). In 2003, the accreditation was withdrawn by the council by 31 July 2003.
