The Univeristy of Phoenix Lies about being readily available and best option for Working Adults - Uof P is a SCAM Internet Chandler Arizona

I enrolled looking to better myself. Attended a couple of classes, and got some credits.

First of all the recruiter told me I could pay monthly. I said cool. let me know when to start paying. He said ok, and Ithen went for a student loan to help defray costs.

two days before class starts he calls me and says I need to pay 700 dollars. I told him he was not going to get that from me. long story short, he admitted he screwed up, and we would just work it out from there. I said cool, and started to attend.

I attended 1 1/2 semester before I was notified my tuition was going up out of the clear blue.

I responded by telling them I would not continue attending as I couldn't pay that much in tuition.

They evidently still collected the full loan amount for that semester and are now trying to charge me $700 as well.

I'm sorry, but when the feds finally close this school, and they will someday soon the way this economy is going, i will be happy.

The recruiter never spoke to me after the day I told him I wouldn't be attending. Didn't return a call, nothing. The bottom line is he was negligent in is job, and yes it is the schools responsibility to work with the students. theres no other way to white was it.

I don't care who cares to try and spin this the bottom line is this school is a rip off,a dn the organization I work at wouldn't even wipe their noses with a degree from this place.

If you thought UoP was a scam in the first place why did you sign up? I have been a student for the past year, and yes it is a lot of work, but there is no way I could have gone to a traditional University. I have to participate 4 days a week, plus answer my DQ's easy enough. If you actually print the syllabus, it is very easy to keep track of your assignment as there is usually a calendar that list all due dates. Now I was able to apply 78 credits to my undergrad program, transfering credits depends on where you took your classes. If you attended a tech program for Medical assisting, and did not take General education classes like English and Math, you can't expect to transfer in any of those credits. You do graduate in half the time, think about going to a traditional Univeristy, could you attend full time? No, you would probably only be able to take 4 classes a year, UoP 10. I am happy with my education, and at times it may seem rushed but I am getting a lot out of it. It is all about what you put it.
It sounds like you may have not been prepared for doing so much work, this is a common misconception that online is easier, it is not. This is college and if it was really easy everyone would have a degree, not just 25% of Americans. Stop whining and get back in school.

I am a graduate of the Masters Degree in Healthcare Admin program at UOP. I took 3 of my classes online. I took the rest ground. Not all the classes have final exam's however I large amount of them do. Finance, Statistics, Project Management, and Employment Law were extremely difficult classes. These classes all tie in together and if you take them in the right order you will see that. I must say the the learning teams are a great experience. I learned so much from them. In most jobs, you are part of a "team". People who don't like the team's don't see the relevance it has in the workplace.

I had to post 4 times a week at least 2 paragraphs a day to questions. We also were required to stay active in class discussions and our answers had to be in depth and relevent.

I wrote papers and did team projects every week. You have to hold your team members accountable in school as in work. If people take their educations seriously this new way of learning can work. I work fulltime and am a single mother of a 7 year old boy. There is no way I could have done this at a traditional school.

The extra money I paid was worth it....

Did you not sign all of the paperwork? You stated that the "recruiter" enrolled you even though you didn't agree. How is that possible, did you not send them a trancript request so they could try to get your 65 credits? How much of an unwilling participant were you? Just wondering.
