ACLAS: Is this even legal?

[openair]

Hey, guys. I have been curious about the legality and accreditation of ACLAS for some months now. Below are my observations:
 I found certificate of Good Standing from Georgia Secretary of State hereby attached.

They are authorized to "transact business" in Georgia. This partains only to legal existence as an entity, not the legal offering of any degree programs in that state. Notice how the "Certificate of Existence" (as it is called) is dated to: 08/05/2024, while the non-compliance note was still issued on October 22, 2024, so this kind of authorization didn't help them. They need degree-granting authorization. 
 
Notice what the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission requires as part of the "GPEC Minimum Standards Criteria". Here is just a sample: 

"Each individually offered program must be approved by GNPEC."
"Institutional accreditation must be first attained in order to offer graduate degree programs. "

ACLAS isn't listed among "religious exempt" institutions either. IEE is irrelevant in this case. They won't provide them with state authorization to issue degrees. Having certified continuing education (CPD) courses won't resolve anything. Qualification Check only verifies whether the awarded qualification/degree comes from the original issuing institution. That doesn't deal with the issue, so referring to these organizations is potentially misleading.
