Saint Leo University Online

Even online the instructors are helpful and there for you when needed. They offer times for class to meet in live chats as well as offering assistance through questions on discussion boards. Tutoring is also available through a live chat line. The only issue is with financial assistance and getting the VOCREB posted in order to get supplies for school. This is the third week of class and still hasn't posted so don't depend on that for essentials need from your financial aid refund, as they take it... Read More first then reimburse you after VOCREHAB posts.

Ok, Let me first say I started and stopped Saint Leo three times for personal reasons and there wasn't any issues with re-starting the MBA program. Oh, yeah I received my undergrad with Saint Leo as well. There was some issues with instructors--that were addressed, my last course the students were rude and the instructor addressed as well. I had some issues with the accounting--(math) courses that were required online and the instructor was again helpful. Overall I was very excited about completion--and... Read More graduation--which I was able to do twice. I am currently waiting on the online Phd program. Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!

I was able to finish my BA in psychology at Saint Leo in a year and a half by the ability to double up on classes and complete coursework anywhere. While this is a huge benefit to the school, getting my classes paid for has been a nightmare. I tried both types of federal loans, subsidized and unsubsidized, and they sent the check I needed to sign and return to another student located in a completely different state. I tried private student loans and am still trying to get that fixed, even though... Read More my account was cleared with a zero balance for graduation, 3 months ago! While the curriculum itself is okay, the financial aid department has completely spoiled my outlook of this school and their organization.

No support! Financial aid is a serious joke. Triple charges for a sub-par education. You will basically teach yourself! Do not try to get support from the center Director, (unless you are one of the few "preferred" students) no return calls and one liner returned emails stating "I will get back with you" which never happens. AVOID the Gainesville Florida campus at all cost-they do not have their programs, support staff, and instructors together!!! Basically, not worth the thousands of dollars you... Read More will pay for this school. You will not be supported as a student. Student clubs and organizations---other than the psych club are non functioning. Want to be taken for a ride, treated as if your worth is strictly for their financial gain,(at least they don't hide this fact, well after a year or so of attendance) bogus financial charges, unnecessary multiple same content classes, and an entire financial aid program without a SINGLE competent person on staff, then this is the school for you. Oh yeah, and you will still have to pay back the $40^ tuition cost for qualification for eh, say, maybe management at a fast food joint. Oh, and one more thing, the ONE thing you will absolutely learn for sure is their ideal of "core values" because it will be drilled into your head (CULT like) with EVERY ASSIGNMENT. Sad that most of them do not adhere to their own overstated value system which was probably written to attract unsuspecting and clueless potentials. But it looks pretty good in writing anyway. And, you know what they say about "looks". Never thought I would say this but it really is great to be a Florida Gator after experiencing all of the above!

I have been attending Saint Leo for over two years now. I have about 10 months to go and I will have my BA in Human Resource Management. Let me say first, that I have always been taken care of by the administration, staff, etc. I have always been able to rely on them for answers to my questions. If there was an issue, I would shoot an email and get a response/solution the next day, if not sooner. No problems with financial aid, or anything else logistically. As far as the education quality, I found... Read More myself challenged from time to time, and the course work was perfect. Although some were easier than others, the courses always demanded at least 20-25 hours a week for me to complete. When you consider the reading, assignments, papers, exams, discussions/replies, I feel that you get a convenient experience without sacrificing quality. I have EARNED my degree, and encourage all to do the same. The instructors were always helpful, and some graded harder than others. That's ok, however. I a proud to have been a part of this university, and look forward to being a part of its alumni. So if you are a parent, working full time and cannot afford to quit your job, Saint Leo will take care of you. They are NOT a diploma mill!

Attended this University at a satellite military campus at Fort McPherson and Fort Gillem, Georgia. A cadaver could pass these classes. Although some instructors (albeit very few) were excellent, others did not challenge the students at all, although I am sure that many of these students feel they were really challenged and felt that they had earned their degrees. This proves that anyone can get a degree. I was so disgusted by it all, I did not attend graduation -- I was the class valedictorian!... Read More In a capstone class given by a (cough, wheeze) doctoral candidate, we all received A's on a final, which we never even took. Many or most of the students were government employees of one sort or another -- just gives credence to the term "mechanical claw" degree. Even the school's director at the time told me that the courses were dumbed down. Make better use of your money and go to another school

I am enrolled in St. Leo's Accounting program. I have found the staff supportive beyond the wildest dreams. The course work is challenging, but I am able to choose when and where I can study. The program is semester hours and not quarter hours, so compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges. Anytime you are in an institution that has 17,000 plus students there is bound to me a hiccup or two. At least it's not 50,000 or 60,000 like U of F or Florida State. I have had a hiccup getting a few... Read More things initiated and resolved, but I am in charge of my destiny and make sure that I follow-up just like anything else in life. If you need hand holding or the physical brick and mortars than perhaps no on-line school is for you. They have a good reputation and they are one of the 5 largest Catholic Universities in the World. My experience has been pleasant thus far. I know I will be challenged and I am up for it. Go for it! St. Leo is awesome

My husband and I have both attended St. Leo. Not once have they gotten anything right when it comes to financial aid. Every term we have to get on the phone with them and try to figure out what is going on. Twice they have switched my adviser without warning so I had no idea who to contact for assistance. They promoted a staff member that completely dropped the ball on getting my paperwork submitted in time. I have had teachers that were not really there to help. It felt more like I had a baby sitter... Read More than a teacher.

The school requires you to get your refund on a Higher One card. This card charges you outrageous fees just to use your money. The only way around that is to transfer you money to a checking or savings account, but in doing that you have to wait longer to get your money. Everything about this school has been a complete ripoff. I very much want to finish my degree and will be doing so elsewhere.

As alumni week approaches I was doing a search on Saint Leo University and came across this site. I am floored at some of the negative comments. I attended Saint Leo University Online for five years and earned my B.A. and M.B.A. in that time. I can only say great things about the online degree programs offered here. This is not to say that all things were smooth sailing, there were some wrinkles that needed to be ironed out. However, every person that I encountered at Saint Leo was willing to help... Read More and was kind while doing so. Assuming that you will have zero issues with any business is unreasonable and far-fetched.

Saint Leo University Online enabled me to earn my degree and a living for my kids. This program was amazing from start to finish. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to earn a college degree from a reputable institution.

Saint Leo University offers a wonderful online program. The flexibility of the online B.A. enables me to complete college without sacrificing my job or time with my family. Every department I have worked with has knowledgeable and friendly employees; they truly seem to portray the Core Values of Saint Leo.

The online website and classroom portal are user friendly, easy to navigate and convenient. The sites are always available for me to logon when it suits my schedule. However, that is not to say... Read More this is an easy program. I work hard in each class but the payoff is wonderful – one step closer to graduation!

I also enjoy the diverse group of people in each class. There are people from all over the world attending the online program. The different perspectives on business topics broaden the entire classes view on each subject. The professors are well-versed in their disciplines and share many real world experiences with the class. I enjoy knowing how the subject I am learning is applied in the workforce.

All in all my experience with Saint Leo University online has been extremely positive. I would recommend this school to anyone who is willing to listen.

I took a Statistics class online at Saint Leo University, which was through the OCICU. It was the worst online class I ever took. It was extremely difficult and the book didn't explain things in enough detail. I emailed the instructor for help, but she rarely got back to me in time. I ended up having to get help from someone locally, who delt with numbers and statistics on a daily basis, and they couldn't even understand the book.

Luckily, I did pass the class, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.... Read More It took up way too much of my time and was extremely stressful.

I withdrew with a zero balance they charged me $116 threw on another 50 dollars in late fees then sent my file to the credit bureau without alerting me.

This practice is unfair and when I contacted them they lied and told me about phone numbers I didnt have when we spoke.(i.e. they told me they talked to me on the phone I was calling them on in July the phone wasnt turned on until October lol)when I alerted to this they said talk to the collection agency, they have no desire to help former students....

No one really appreciates the degrees one earns here in my experience. They like to hear USF or UF.

Furthermore when I started the Master's program it was a mess. Could never get hold of the instructor and the counselors were about useless.

Finally after not being able to contact the instructor about recieving a password to log on to an online site St. Leo helped me drop the class but almost didn't want to refund my money. As much money as one pays to go here they should help the students find jobs... Read More in their field.

I graduated with 3.8. Not one offer in the field of accounting. I feel this is a diploma mill college like Phoenix or these other scam schools.

In active duty military spouse so one can only imagine my life is always on the go! I have attended colleges in Chicago and once I relocated I began attending Saint Leo University.

At first I was a bit worried about taking online classes but I figure I would give it a shot. The classes are do demand a lot of time, which in my case is good so I don't get lazy!

The counselors are great, the teachers are very involved and yes STLU is pricey but it is worth it. School is what you make of it and this is... Read More by far a great experience!

Saint leo was a nice University, I dont know what happend they star getting worst and worst no one no anything charge you late fee for drop classes and I was on time.

I drop one class in fall 1 and I finish , summer 2 they send me my loan refunds for summer everythin was ok at summer 2 them they send me a bill for $2000 something. NO explanation at all.

I call financial aid and they pass me 4 different people to resolve my problem no one now anything ,one say something the other one other suff... very... Read More dissapointed the ruin my time and money......
