Hello,

I have been a student since 2002, took a couple years off for multiple reasons. Now I have come back to finish the last few general core credits at a local community college to save money and speed up finishing my degree. Now, the University of Phoenix tells me I cannot come back without enrolling into a new program.

This also includes (besides my additional general ed) the need to take an additional 7 courses at the University of Phoenix. After appealing, and attempting to work with my academic counselor I have been ignored, turned down and brushed off.

I believe I should be grand fathered in to the old program I have entered. But working with University of Phoenix without an open checkbook does not seem to work to my advantage.

 

My goal:

To enter into my enrolled program and complete my graduation within the next few months without payinga ridiculous amount of money for a change in programs that I should be grand fathered into.

not a rip off

AUTHOR: Jeanski - (U.S.A.)

I'm sure you feel ripped off, but this is standard practice at ALL colleges and universitites, and it really doesn't have as much to do with money as you think. All schools review their curricula every other year or so and make changes as appropriate. In my own discipline, psychology, our degree has changed every time - adding and subtracting courses as we see fit, based on changing technology, research in the field, feedback from students and our accrediting bodies, and what employers need. A student who returns to school after a program has changed is NOT grandfathered in. My goodness - what if a student wanted to go back to school and finish her nursing degree after a ten year absence? Does that make sense? Of course not. So the rules are pretty much the same anywhere you go: if the curriculum changes, you have to enter under the new curriculum.

BTW - I don't work for UofP and really don't like the way they seem to treat students based on what I've read here. Why not try a local college that has online courses? More than likely it will be cheaper and you will get treated better.
