From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The terms online and offline (also on-line and off-line) have specific meanings with respect to computer technology and telecommunication. In general, "online" indicates a state of connectivity, while "offline" indicates a disconnected state. In common usage, "online" often refers to the Internet or the World Wide Web. The concepts have however been extended from their computing and telecommunication meanings into the area of human interaction and conversation, such that even offline can be used in contrast to the common usage of online (e.g., "I bought those Marcus Fenix figurines offline"). Another usage runs contrary to the expected meaning: 'offline' as "from an online source", e.g. "I bought my textbook from Amazon" = "I got it offline". Standard definitionsIn computer technology and telecommunication, online and offline are defined by Federal Standard 1037C. They are states or conditions of a "device or equipment" or of a "functional unit". To be considered online, one of the following must apply to a device:
In contrast, a device that is offline meets none of these criteria (e.g., its main power source is disconnected or turned off, or it is off-power). From Wikipedia under the

Q. First, I am fully aware that an online school should be fully accreditated for the online degree to be respected. However, will having a 3 Year Business Adminstration Diploma first, then transferring credits from that Diploma to an Online Degree make the degree more respectable. Will it be more respected if I were to have a Diploma from an actual college, to go with the one done online. In the end, after the transferred credits there would be a 3 year diploma from the college, and an 3 year online degree. The online degree would most likely be a Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Management, or a Bachelor of Human Resources Going the online route, it would only take about a year to do.

Just go to a Uni/College like everyone else instead of being all weird and trying to cut corners. Part of what they look for in graduates is social skills, independence, and the university experience all in. You may or may not, do academically equivalent work, but there is nobody monitoring your progress in the same way. I doubt much will make it more respectable, you are clutching at straws.
