Morphology
unaccredited = accredited (transparent) = un + accredit + ed
A straightforward negation prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'accredited', yielding 'not accredited'.
Etymology
Unaccredited breaks into un- meaning 'not' and accredit, which comes from credit meaning 'trust' or 'belief'. So an unaccredited institution is 'not officially trusted' or 'not given official approval', which is why its degrees or certificates may not be accepted.
