Kaplan Universtiy Guarntee Chicago Illinois

Personally, I think Kaplan bites big time. My girlfriend is almost through with her 4 year degree through them, but so far, they have been a total ripoff.

She has paid to repeat courses that were too advanced for her very early in the program, instead of offering those courses later. When she had to repeat, they would charge her for another copy of the same book she already had and refused to refund the cost.

In addition, an online tutor is supposed to be available for many of the more difficult subjects. The tutors are never available, and when she questions the instructor about an issue, she rarely receives any response, except for a few a week after the assignment was due and turned in.

To add insult to injury, their website bites big time, half the time, you can't get in to their site to complete assignments and get bumped out of class constantly. On several occasions, my girlfriend was given a poor participation grade because Kaplan's website was constantly having issues. (I am a network and systems administrator and can verify our home network was functioning just fine, so were dozens of other websites I was surfing and the same time, so it was not internet problems or local problems, it was Kaplan problems. Our 3 MB DSL works just fine, thank you).

Finally, the first year in school, they sent her a threatening letter, stating "you will not be allowed to graduate this year until you repay what you owe for failing a class". Hello! She is not graduating for about 4 years from that date!

If this is the way that Kaplan treats all its students, you can definately do better than their diploma mill.

I never contacted Kaplan myself but I did contact a few other online colleges that I did not like. I currently attend Herzing College Online and love it. They have about 5 or 6 actual campuses you can go to as well. I have been in this college for almost 2 years and will be graduating in December with an Associates Degree. They offer several degree programs and the books are included. I don't believe the advisors are told to sell as many people on this as they can. Nothing that was said sounded like a sells pitch and it never has. Everyone here is very friendly and helps you right away. Anyhow, just make sure you really do your work before you get into something this important. I did research before I chose my school. One very important thing I learned was to make sure the school is a Nationally Credited School. I believe this is what makes their credits transferrable. Hope I help someone so they don't have problems in the future!
