This school is a rip off. DO NOT GO HERE THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY!!! Before enrolling they said I am good to go and financial aid is paying. Then 2 days after the withdrawal deadline they now are stating I have a $2000 bill. Now the deadline to drop the classes is 5/24 and it is 5/26 so 2 days later and they are saying there is nothing they can do. Oh and there is no supervisor on the premises to get any answers. LIKE I SAID RIP-OFF. FIND A SCHOOL THAT CARES ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION AS MUCH AS YOUR MONEY!
A lot of the online classes that i've taken either lacked the proper instruction for assignments, or the professors made their module listings a bit unorganized, which in turn caused me to miss a few assignments. I cannot say that the experience is entirely bad due to the fact that there is another opportunity to retake classes. Other than this, I can say that I am not fully satisfied. I don't feel like I've learned what I intend on learning for my future career.
