Post University

I have a year and a half left before graduating. I think, my date has changed a couple of times already. The staff at Post University is great when it comes to the academic advisors and instructors. Financial Aid is a different story. They are rude and do not help you. When your financial aid runs out, they don't tell you anything until it's too late. They then expect you to pay out of pocket but loads of money or not register you for classes. I loved this school up until this point. Classes are... Read More a little high for the education you receive. Look around before just settling for a college with online courses. You can receive a great education without broken pockets each month. Communication is key to many things in life and Post University's department of Financial Aid has not comprehended how this works. Nor do they have the compassion when you can not just pay large amounts of money right when they want it. Hope this helps someone in the future.

I transferred to Post after getting one class away from completing a Forensics degree. I just wanted to go somewhere else with my career plan. The degree plan I went over with my ASC was an Equine Business Management degree with an Animal Assisted Therapy minor. I have been in school for 2 1/2 years and am supposed to graduate in Dec 2022. Yesterday, I get an email saying I need to choose a degree. WHAT! So I set up a teleconference with my brand new ASC and her boss. According to them, my degree... Read More has NEVER existed along with my minor. So I have been working on a degree that doesn't exist and the only way I can graduate with a degree in SOMETHING Equine related, I have to take at least another year and a half of classes. The school is a SCAM. Don't go.

Even though I take online classes I have made many friends throughout my time at Post with both students and Professors. I have never had an issue with financial aid, Admissions or my ASC. I honestly feel 100% supported so I am confused about some of the other reviews. Whenever I have a question it is answered and if my ASC doesn’t have the answer she finds out and calls me back. I never have to chase anyone and the Professors actually set up time to work with you one on one of you don’t understand... Read More something. I use their 24/7 tutoring center often too. They are real people helping you with your school work any day and time that works for you! One of the best decisions I ever made was to attend Post. I can’t wait to walk across their stage at graduation and meet everyone in person.

I had the most amazing experience at Post! My ASC, FA and AC took the time to help me through the process and my entire educational journey. My Professors were outstanding and I was able to reach them. The classes are organized and the expectations are clear. I know a couple of people mentioned being charged for a class two weeks after it started but every school is like that. Think about it....If you had your child in daycare full time and decided not to send them one day during the week you would... Read More still have to pay for the whole week. Professors are rehired, material is purchased. You can’t wear clothes for a week then decide to return them. I have been to a couple of schools and hands down Post was the best which is why I graduated from there. I never had to put my kids second because the classes were so flexible too! Post treated me like a person instead of a number and I am forever thankful for the opportunity they gave me!

This school is a JOKE! I had seven days to cancel and drop out I did on the ninth day! Because my portal would not work at all I couldn’t do any assignments I contacted and emailed and could not get any replies I was not aware I had to drop out within seven days! All I wanted was some feed back on why my portal wasn’t working and why it would not let me do my assignments and could not get a reply or help from anyone! I also had problems with the financial aid department saying I wasn’t getting my... Read More financial aid because I didn’t there was paperwork that wasn’t filled out but I have emails of me asking if all of the paperwork was done if I had anymore and they told me everything was filled out! So then I’m hit with I owe $1,850 for a class I did not take, could not take and could not get help on! I have received an email stated they would be sending it to credit union and a collections agency! This school is a COMPLETE SCAM!

This is the worst experience I've ever had with any University. I was a student here in 2017-2018 and completed a good handful of classes before I had to un-enroll due to personal reasons. Fast forward to 2021 and I'm trying to re-enroll to complete the degree that I had previously started. My new advisor sent me over my degree plan and it didn't show 90% of the classes I had taken at Post a few years ago. Now, I do have a balance that I was unaware of that I'm currently paying off so I assumed it... Read More was because of the balance. I tried multiple times to get in contact with my advisor and even reached out to other advisors who could not, or did not, help me or give me any answers. Today I was able to get someone on the phone and after being bounced around 6 times I was told that all of those classes were shown as incomplete or failed. I know that I did not pass one or two classes, but the rest I had completed AND passed. The ones that were showing as failed were classes that I truly enjoyed and remember doing very well in. Basically I'm being told that since I have no proof that I passed and completed these classes that I would have to retake them. And that the course evaluations changed so some of the courses changed as well. I would not recommend this University to anyone. Take your money somewhere your dollar and education will be valued.

After attending Post University for a paralegal certificate, and Legal Studies Associates. I have repeatedly attempted to reach out Post University to complete undergraduate with Post University. I have received emails, text, and even a phone call from Post University to get enrolled for the undergraduate with Post University. Once we get to the financial aid section it goes to a stand still. One time and one time only I called into Post University and spoke to an individual who honestly told me... Read More my financial aid is so disarrayed, that I would have to speak to my original financial aid advisor. I reached out to Multiple people to try to register for the undergraduate degree considering I was successful with completion of the other degrees. Once I spoke to a person at the University in my surrounding home town, I was told some if any of these credits will be accepted at the University. Now I can not get a person from Post University to assist me, and may possibly have to start all over again with credits to complete my undergraduate. I am saddened, and depressed over this whole situation. I ultimately enjoyed my experience with Post Unfortunately. To find myself in this position with Post University after the successful time I have had with Post University. Leaves me feeling depressed, discouraged, mentally drained, and unsettle.

My experience at Post has been extraordinary. I took online classes and the amount of support I received was like no other. I have referred several people to Post because you have a team of people dedicated to support you all the way up to graduation. As an Alumni I receive emails about events and most recently I received a Post frame for FREE just because I was an Alumni. I also really like the Professors and how engaged they were. If you are looking to graduate from a school feeling confident in... Read More your profession and a school that can provide all the support, you need to be successful then Post is for you! I loved the platform. Post uses blackboard and their classes are well organized. They also provide orientation which guides you through the process, so you know what to expect when classes start. The Admissions counselors are great because they will walk you through the process if you need assistance. Financial aid is helpful because they go through the fafsa will you and they really make sure you understand everything. The Academic Success Counselors help you register for classes and provide support for just about everything. Post also offers 24/7 live tutoring which is helpful if you want to do your homework at 1am like me!

Overall, my experience at Post University over the last four years has been great. Despite being a commuter, I still feel like I am part of the Post community. There were plenty of clubs to join and events on campus, such as movies being shown in the Eagles Nest over the weekend for free. My professors were knowledgable and passionate about the field of education. I do not have an opinion about the cafeteria food as I have only eaten there a few times. My concerns pertain to the departments as communication... Read More between them is lackluster, particularly with Financial Aid as they never answer phone calls or emails. The best way to speak to them is in person, although I understand that many online students may not be able to do so and it can be troublesome. I am also extremely disappointed in Post's Admissions department as they neglected to tell me that Post's degrees do not lead to teaching certification through state schools (the typical route for those looking to teach in public schools). I found out the hard way during my junior year, after three years of hard work. If I had known this when first looking at schools as a high school senior, I would not have chosen this university. Fortunately, I have found a university that will not send me into debt or force me to take classes that I already took because Post's are not "up to CT's standards" and waste my time. If you are thinking about applying to Post University, I strongly advise that you learn to advocate for yourself and do not be afraid to "nag" someone for pertinent information. Also, ask questions and thoroughly research their programs to make sure that you will be receiving whatever credentials you need in your future career.

I have been attending Post University since June of 2017, I never had any issues with financial aid or my academic success counselor. I had one issue with financial aid disbursement due to not being registered for two classes in order to qualify for financial aid but once I fixed that I received my disbursement the following week. I complete my readings and view the videos required for the discussion post then I submit mine either on Tuesday or Wednesday morning, I reply to my classmates by Sunday.... Read More Any writing assignments I begin working on Monday night.

I have read many of these reviews and thought I should chime in. I was born (1963) & raised in Waterbury and graduated from Post over 25 years ago with a B.S. in Accounting. Over the years in CT I have worked for and with many Post graduates and gave many friends and family members who graduated from there. I now live in Florida and wanted my Masters in Accounting. Due to various reasons I went back to Post but this time online obviously. The program was fantastic and the professors were great. I've... Read More worked in Corporate Accounting since the mid-80's so believe me if the professors were not good I'd know but they were very good. I recommended Post to 2 people who used to work for me and now they both attend. When going for my graduate degree I had to deal with Financial Aid and had no problems at all. My financial advisor was fantastic and always in communication. Post U is a good school that has been around for 100 years.

I just graduated from Post with my BS in August. My experience with the professors was incredible, knowledgeable. I felt coming straight from a community college with my AA that the school was the real deal. The classes were engaging, expectations for the workload, and criteria were on point. Overall when I left, I knew I was prepared to jumpstart and utilize my new founded education as I could comprehend and keep up with colleagues and spaces from the Universities throughout the state of California.... Read More However my entire experience with my financial advisor left a bad taste in my mouth. In my last two classes I noticed a balance left for fees after my student loan. First, I had to email him a few times over several weeks to get a response. When I finally got a response after forwarding my email over and over, I asked why there was a balance? My financial advisor simply stated, “you should have enough for your remaining courses. Huh? If he is my financial advisor why does he not know that I am in my last two classes? Days later just days from “graduating” he says I owe the school! I don’t have enough to cover, and I will not be allowed my transcripts until I pay in full. I expected a financial advisor to tell me that I am paying for my last classes as that may have been taken care of before graduation. Now my feelings have changed for Post because I cannot apply to graduate schools until this balance is paid. I am a dedicated student with goals, and because I was not appropriately explained my finances (even after asking), my plans have been detoured. The for-profit schools do not care about you they just want the money. I am writing this review, so this does not happen to anyone else. Do not get comfortable with all the fancy titles; the action does not align with the mission. I wished I would have listed and gone to a California State University that I had already been accepted. Best of luck

I'm currently a student at post. I am so unhappy. I have great grades and positive experiences with teachers. My problem is with the financial aid department and academic advising. I've been at post for three years and in that time have had 4 different advisors for academics and more than I can count for financial aid. I now somehow owe the school money because an advisor told me that I was fine and it wouldn't affect my financial aid to take time off for maternity. Well that messed everything up.... Read More I'm in debt to the school. I have been paying it back but the problem is each time I get a call about it I get angry. I have to re tell the same story and have no one to take responsibility for the action of telling me that I was okay to take the time off. The reason being is the high turn over rate in staff is insane. At this point the Post makes it personal statement that they claim is a joke something is wrong and I'm not sure what. I just know that I am looking forward to graduation and moving on from the mess that this school has created for me and my family.

I am reading quite a lot of bad reviews for my school. I want to start off by saying I did receive a refund for my first term. Now why everyone else is saying that the financial aid department lacks communication, confuses me. Every time I had a question I was able to get in contact with my Financial Aid advisor over the phone. In order for you to get a refund you need to be a full time student and active in your courses. Now as far as communication goes, I get fast responses from my instructors... Read More via email and get regular check ups from my Academic Advisor Kimberly. I am not sure why their are so many negative reviews, as long as you do your work on time and stay involved in the courses, you should be good!!

Financial Aid here is terrible! I've been running around back and forth. Something seems fraudulent at this school. When I applied for financial aid they told me I will get my refund check the following week. When I called financial aid a few days after that to make sure I was going to get it they were really rude and told me i needed to send my high school transcripts. They never told me anything about that in the beginning until I called. They then told me that I wont get my refund check until... Read More 5 weeks and they said it with an attitude. If I knew this I wouldve gotten a laptop before I spent my money. Now I currently have to send my high school transcripts and scrape up enough money to get a laptop. They were very misleading.
