Paramount California University

Hello All Can you please assist me with confirming if Paramount California university is accredited?

They indicate on their website that they are accredited by:
The American Association for Higher Education and Accreditation (AAHEA)
United States Distance Learning Association
The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning

I am transferring my associate degree credit to them but can not locate them on the chea website.

Would really appreciate some guidance
