was described as an "embarrassment" to DFES. Affiliates Warnborough represented to the US Department of Education during its termination hearings in 1996 that, at the time, its degrees were actually issued by the controversial and unaccredited Greenwich University (Norfolk Island), with which it had a contractual arrangement to do so. Warnborough was represented in the DOE hearings by John Walsh of Brannagh, Chancellor of Greenwich. Warnborough was formerly in an academic partnership with Saint Theresa's Medical University (STMU) for automatic admission to STMU of holders of Warnborough College (UK) Pre-Medical diplomas and issuance of dual degrees by STMU with Warnborough College (IE). The Oregon Office of Degree Authorization characterized STMU as being jointly operated with Warnborough. In the early 2000s Warnborough University generated controversy in Australia because neither Warnborough nor any of its consortium partners through which it was offering graduate and undergraduate degrees were accredited to do so. The Australian state of New South Wales included Warnborough on a list of five "unrecognized universities".

In February 2008, the Irish Independent reported that All Hallows officials were concerned about the college's presence on All Hallows' grounds.
