This school is a joke. After being assured I had plenty of financial aid tocomplete my degree I was told that I wouldn't be allowed to finish my degree until I came up with $500. I had 2 classes left to graduate! When I called financial aid tobset an appointment I was informed they only talk to people on the phone and won't make appointments! I went to the administration with my questions and was told to talk to financial aid because they didn't understand it either! I finally just informed everyone... Read More

This school is a joke and from the looks of it every department is a joke. I enrolled in school at the end of July for the Sept 8 classes here it is October still my financial aid nowhere near completed. This school is soon unorganized, they all lack communication skills. It is sad when students have to call and find out they financial aid not even completed and everyone person you talk to give you totally different stories. So I finally think I'm getting some help from a head person, but its been... Read More

I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone, especially not the pharmacy technician program. I was sent to Brooklyn center, Bloomington, and roseville for class. Once you complete all your classes you have to do an externship in an inpatient and outpatient pharmacy. They want you to do 120 hours for both, with inflexible hours. I had to find my own site for outpatient and I still haven't been placed anywhere for my inpatient, because the site that they did find required me to be there at 7:30. At... Read More

I started this school because they said they had my best interest and could get me graduated within 2 years. As a mom just out of high school i thought it was to good to be true. Well turns out i was right. Administration was a joke the instructors are the biggest joke. There is no time for student help even if you go in to get it. So i called to let them know that since they dropped me because i had a baby and missed 1 week of school i would need my transcript. The lady didn't even try to keep me... Read More

This school is a complete joke ! Their main problem is the administration ! They are all complete idiots , they're supposed to be helping me but instead have tried to sign me up for courses I don't need for my degree , classes I've already taken at other colleges and had transferred over and also tried to sign me up for courses I already took at NAU ! They're all about money , and if I hadn't caught it I would've taken a ton more classes than needed and paid them for it ! They also changed my course... Read More

This school is a joke!!! All they want is your money. The school compared to real schools is so easy! TOO easy. If you think its hard, you have problems. Here it is the last week of school and still have not received any refund although it was posted to my account at school on 8/11/2015. It was due on July 7th 2015.They owe me over 2000.00. 1.

This campus is a big joke. Some of the staff here is awful. This is supposed to be an educational institute but you have most of the employees that are not educated. You have a campus director that just received his degree. You have an admissions director with just a high school diploma. Some of the people that work in admissions look thrown away and there is no professionalism at this school. The lady at the front desk and the medical lady were the only people that I can say were worth even talking... Read More

The worst thing about this school is the financial aid department. After being lied to about how much of my pell grant was going to cover they proceeded to tell me that I couldn't return books or drop classes after finding out the information. I then after refusing to accept the pell grant magically it was accepted for me. I did not accept it nor was I going to. After talking to several people they all went back and covered their own butts and now I'm responsible for nearly 1000 dollars. When I was... Read More

I was a student at NAU for about three years. I went to college part time and work full time. I did feel that the college was expensive but all schools are. I felt that admissions was great, E. was very helpful. Financial assistant A. was a blast to work with and she always try to keep me in line almost the whole three years. She always emailed, or called me to get it done on time. A. left about a year before I graduate it kind of went down hill. I had to come out of pocket because my paper work... Read More

This school encourages harassment of their students by instructors even when a complaint is filed nothing is done. The professors gang up against the accuser this school causes mental anguish and should be avoided at all costs.

This school is a joke. The teachers are a joke. The staff could care less about the students. Stay away from this school. The Denver campus sucks and the staff is very rude. Do yourself a favor and find a real school to go to. This school is money hungry always raising the tuition.

The online program made attending class possible. I work full time and have two young children, so this was pretty much the only option available for me. The online class sizes were small and that was really nice because it was easier to focus on what was being posted.

I have had to endure many mistakes by NAU and its staff. Including and most recently not providing me with the necessary texts or Lab Access Codes to complete a class. This has happened before to the extent I was forced to lay out an entire semester due to their error. Right now AHIMA and Quantim labs I cannot get into due to these deficits by NAU. I have no less than 30 emails back and forth by myself, AHIMA, my instructor, the program director and the NAU Bookstore to no avail.

I've been attending NAU on and off for years. Military and family life is known for interrupting educational plans. I honestly don't know what I was thinking at first when I initially enrolled. It seems a bit silly to be hung-up on the name of a University but I regret not looking into a state university for their solid reputations. I think if NAU would change their commercial marketing to something a little more comparable to the age-old prestigious reputation of a state college, I would feel a... Read More

I wish I could write an amazing review and up a few months ago I could have at least issued 3 or 4 stars for each catagory based on my experience. I now understand why NAU has the reputation for being a joke of a school. If you are a potential student, please look elsewhere as you will not receive a good education at NAU. What you will find is a school without any scruples that will do whatever it takes to pass students and collect their payments. If you want to be pushed through the system without... Read More

It is very interesting reading all the reviews on this school. NAU has instructors that are probation officers and Lt officers in my local law agencies. I have been taught by Lawyers and many other professional personnel. NAU is an expensive school that is why they are a private school. I've never been treated badly at NAU everyone I talked to and came in contact with have been so helpful to me completing my degree specially when I was deployed.

I attended NAU in 2007. I was an on line student. I found the enrollment adviser and the process easy, and her assistance helpful. However, my professor in one of my classes was rude, and demeaning. I was unable to grasp the concepts of the class, and despite seeking help through tutoring, my grades were continuing to slip. She found it "fun" to post my failing grades on the classroom "blackboard." I went to my academic adviser and she said she would talk with her. Within days of this disaster, my... Read More

I called the person who helped me and lo and behold she is not there supposedly she moved to a different campus and so did my advisor. I have been told that I need to contact another school I went to years ago for my transcripts,so I did that. NAU received them a week before Thanksgiving and told me everything looked... Read More

I feel that this school is very helpful in the enrollment process, i used to attend a local state school here and they were no help at all. NAU does care about you, and i have seen plenty of students blame the school or financial aid when they fail their classes. Obviously if you fail and don't try, that affects your Financial Aid, if you fail your classes over and over its using up your FA. You can't just expect to enroll at a school and think its going to be like high school; grow up people and... Read More
