After about two months of not receiving my degree in the mail, I called financial aid and they stated to me that I owed $892.00. I then emailed my academic advisor (who is wonderful) and told her what was going on. I stated that it is absolutely ridiculous that I should owe this money when they sent me a check earlier in the year. She stated to me that Kaplan is supposed to send out any monies owed to me no matter what future charges may accrue. She told me she would get a hold of financial aid and get back to me.
As of today May, 25, I have emailed my academic advisor and still no word. They are holding my degree back until I pay this off. I don't have the money right now because I have other financial obligations that is tying up my money. I also don't think that I should have to pay this money.
I want to go to another school but I can't until I get my official degree and transfer credits.
The communication from this school is very frustrating and the degree is a joke. I "graduated" with a B.A. in CJ with my focus on Forensics. That's great however, in order for me to move onto my Masters degree I need about two more years of classes that require me to work in a lab! Online degrees are a joke and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone!

Money owed after recieving check

Hi,
You're not the only one going through this. I received two check the end of March 2010. One in the amount of $2300 and the other in the amount of $904.79. At the time I didn't have a balance owed. But two weeks later I get a phone call saying I owe $904.79. Hmmm, how convenient. So I questioned it and was told that this was a balance owed from 2008! I was told I could cash the checks and spend them how I pleased but first to check if I have a balance, if I don't, then I need not send the money back. If I do, I pay the balance out of the checks and keep what is left over since it is illegal for KU NOT to send this money to us. So when you receive a check in the future check to see if you have a balance. I had to get a lawyer over this. I went from owing $904.79 to $5140.01 to now owing $7873.01! They refunded back to my student loans $13816.36! But yet I owe them $7873.01? I don't think so. I think they have a bunch of idiots working in the financial aid department and when asked for a paper trail, they cannot provide one. I seriously think we need to let this go across the media across the nation and shut them down completely.
