Ultrasound Diagnostic AKA Standford Brown Institute big ripoff. beware!!! This school is unmoral and unethical, and needs to be shut down!!!!! Tampa Florida

I hope this finds someone who can give me some information. Was there a class action suit? When was it filed?

Who can I get in touch with?

HCSO is the "hillsborough County Sheriffs office" website.. you can use any search engine and find it, or the address is Hcso.tampa.fl.us\ but it usually doesnt work, so i'd suggest searching for it. Did you know Erwin Tech offers Medical assisting for about 3,000.00 IF NOT LESS!! and is funded by Hillsborough county schools, i was at UDS for only a short time and racked up over 2300.00 when i could have went to Erwin for the SAME course!! I was furious when i found this out. LOL, i will NEVER go back to UDS!!! let me know how the teacher search goes!!

Valerie: I'm interested in checking out this site. What is HCSO? I'm thinking of going back to talk to the new president and see if I can continue this month since I have only two months to go till I graduate, however; since I spoke up loudly what kind of sham school this was I not sure if they will let me. If I did'nt have the school loan to worry about I wouldn't bother. If you have had problems please contact the accrediting agencies with your concerns so they have will investigate this school further.

have you ever checked the HCSO site, some of the teachers have been arrested for firearms, drugs, and i know of at least one who was in prison. LOL, thats not what I call a "teacher." They also told me since I stopped going, then re-enrolled, that my 6 month grace period to start paying back the loans wouldnt count the first time I went and would start 6 months after my 2nd register date, which turned out to be a complete lie, Wachovia was sending me papers directly to the school, and they never felt obligated to give them to me. Which racked up tons of late fees on my part.

Valerie: I have also posted my rip-off report on this school. However, I was enrolled in their Ultrasound Diagnostic program but everything that you have stated occured in our class as well. Our program was accredited by CAAHEP and AbHES so I sent a letter to both agencies describing the problems with this school and that they need to pull their accreditation but the school lied (which their very good at doing) and so they have closed their investigation. I also sent a letter to the Independant Education for Colleges. Please look into who accredites your program and have everyone you know to send a letter to them stating all of your complaints. Maybe if they receive enough complaints they will look into this school more closely. Because I complained my hours needed to complete my internship increased as well till evenually they terminated me from the program two months before graduation.

I am presently involved in a lawsuit with two former students against this school. Since I stay in touch with my former classmates I have recently been told that Ms. Marcella Brown as since left the school and now have a new president which makes number 4 in less than a yearand the new teachcer they hired in February is also gone but yet they clain their turnover is no less than anywhere else. HA! This school is a total rip-off. I am thinking about bringing this school to the attention of the media to bring more exposure to what a rip-off this school really is.
