University of North Carolina at Pembroke Reviews

"I will for sure be transferring to another school next semester! My experience since starting this school has been horrible! To start, with the application process, I was told either unofficial transcripts or official transcripts would work. Then they came back and told me I needed to send official! Why not just say that during application?! I paid for 2 sets of transcripts (4 colleges). THEN they lost one of my transcripts (the most expensive one!) which was sent electronically! How do you lose an electronic transcript. It took them 3 weeks to find it! When they finally found it, and after having a meeting with some type of director, she told me I would not have to do Gen Ed classes because I have an AA, Transfer degree. So as I start registering for my classes, I notice I am getting a kickback telling me I need to complete gen ed math and gen ed english. I reach out to this director person and she told me I was getting that error because of a "system update". Well I finally had a meeting with my advisor, who they gave me no information on, I had to reach out to them and get my advisor's information. She told me I was getting the Gen Ed kickback because they put my degree in as an Associated in Applied Arts! I'm like "no that is so off!!" I clearly have an Associates in Arts, Transfer. She called them and they fixed it, but they completely lied to me about some "system error"! The icing on the cake is my refund. They shorted me my refund a few thousand dollars! When I finally figured out what was going on, I learned they refunded me for the wrong semester! They refunded me for 23-24 summer session 2. I should have been refunded for summer session 1 which is 22-23. And not add, most of the people who answer the phone are RUDE!! I have never attended a school receiving service as rude as I have received here! I will forsure be taking my education elsewhere! There is a swift reason why there is a 92% acceptance rate but only 42% graduate. And the graduation rate includes maters, BA and certificate programs. They also disabled their google reviews for a good reason. I would NOT recommend this school to ANYBODY!!"

"You will be just a number, and apparently not an important one. Good luck, you will need it. It took six months of constant effort to be contacted by the school. The contact was less than sufficient. It was clearly evident that there systems are severely lacking from admissions to follow up."
