University of Phoenix [UOPX] financial services

I have been enrolled since January have racked up a over $3000 bill due to them not processing my finanical aid in a timely fashion. When I call nobody knows anything and can do nothing to be of assistance. This school is a total fraud they treat students like a number one of the worst decisions that I have ever made. I would love to be able to work towards getting fake schools like this closed so that no other person goes thru this hassle. As soon as I am able to I will be withdrawing and entering a locally accredited school. With real people who care and know what they are doing

University of Phoenix [UOPX] Financial aid

I'm reading all the other post from uop classmates, and it all sounds very familiar! I've been in school since october 23 and as of today january 30th, there is still no returns or stipend! Everything they have asked me for has been filled out and fax or sent by signing in to ecampus! I have been on the phone with them everyday with the exception of weekends and holidays, it's really frustrating especially with two small children and one income! I really don't understand their process? I've talked to soooooo many different people but in the end nothing! Something really needs to be done! I've thought about going to another school because of this! To top it off it all started with name change & they spouses tax information from 2016! I need to hear back from someone asap! Trying to be professional! But I might need to call an attorney to get the ball rolling.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] loans

I was totally mislead when signing up with you and only went to school for 5 months they have stolen 3000 out of my taxes and they want another 3, 000 and I do not understand how I owe that. I would like to know if there is any help or anything that there can be done for loan forgiveness? And was in contact with the school the whole time and had no indication that my taxes were going to be taken or my wages would be garnished.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] new financial aid policy

I am a Focus to Finish Scholarship recipient, and the new financial aid disbursement policy has negatively impacted my ability to receive the proper funding I need to comfortably complete my classes. The only reason why I took out financial aid and a student loan (although my school tuition is already funded by my scholarship) was to get by with my living expenses as a single mother going to school, now I am left in debt due to not receiving my financial aid when I needed it most (my disbursement was supposed to be October 30th, 2018, it is now November 25th, 2018). I contacted Financial aid, scholarship office whom sent my information up to the director of Financial Aid, in hopes he could release my desperately needed funding (that is in my student account). I was then denied. Not all of the students that attend school are financially set, some of use rely heavily on our financial aid to get by while attending class. Which leads me to my next point, (After asking for my financial aid to be released I was told it could not, because many students mismanage there money, so the school holds it till classes are paid for- but I am a scholarship student and my classes are already paid for). Withholding all of the students financial aid just because a select students mismanage their money is logical fallacy all its own. University of Phoenix has not taken into consideration the many financially responsible students the new policy has negatively impacted. What I see is a corporation that is forcing students to continue courses, withholding students needed Financial Aid and releasing in disbursements once courses are taken to cover the University own end. Its also a way to keep students in school granting more money to University of Phoenix's pockets. I know the University says its to help students but I fail to see the help I am getting as a scholarship student. As a scholarship student, none of my financial aid is going to be covering any of my tuition. So I see no reason scholarship students should have to be under the same policy, exceptions need to be made for the release of Pell grants and student loans.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] financial aid scam

This school deserves no stars, I totally agree with the other reviews. University of Phoenix is a scam and it appears that their only focus is monetary. I am a veteran and I registered at the University of Phoenix to take a single course with the intention that the school would submit my certification information to the VA for payment. However, the University of Phoenix has refused to submit my certification to the VA and has demanded that I pay for the class. The VA has already approved payment to the school for the single class in question but the University of Phoenix has repeatedly ignored my request to submit my certification to the VA. Per federal regulations the the VA cannot and will not pay for the class without certification documentation from the University of Phoenix.in addition, I have documentation from the VA acknowledging that as a combat veteran I am covered 100% but the University of Phoenix has refused to submit the certification information to the VA. AVOID UNIVERSITY of PHOENIX at all cost. Hindsight is 20/20, given the opportunity again I would not choose this school. Trying to reach anyone after registering is an all day process, you may or not get someone competent to assist you with your issue. The University of Phoenix will gladly sign you up for classes. However, after registration you are on your own.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] excess student refund loan never

There are ongoing issue with UOP financial department timely processing of student excess refund balance. I have been waiting since April 3, 2018 and as of today no refund received. There were initial problems with my first disbursement and the assigned financial advisor since that time she was removed and I was given a genetic email contact and no assigned advisor. I have interacted via email with Executive Financial Analyst, Financial Advisors, Senior Manager and several others to still no resolution or refund check. I drove from CA to AZ after speaking with CR and advising that only online service was available and that I would have to be in AZ to speak with someone face-to-face since i was an online student. When I arrive after having no money and asking mostly strangers for money to afford the trip. I have been in AZ for over a week still no check, no staff member will talk directly to me only emails and phone. I do not have phone service so this method is not a remedy. When going to the campus 4/22 and spoken to as if I had no right to be there or use the phones and ask to leave rudely, I have not been back. Students borrow money and pay interest on loans to pay salaries and amenities on student campuses. Who are people listening for guidance. Are they hearing voices the DEVIL! Learn to think for yourself.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] student loans

I attended UoP from 2010-2011, with the promise of graduating with a bachelors in accounting, and also job placement. I soon learned that the classes were not anything but chatting and replying to other students. I continued on with my classes, keeping a 3.8 GPA.
During 2011, our home was hit by the tornado that came through springfield, MA, and we were placed in a home that had no internet for 18 months while our home was rebuilt. I was told to try the best I can to get to a computer to do my work. With 6 small children, and working as a schoolbus driver, it was very difficult to get access to a computer.
Then one day, I went to sign in and my access was denied.
Now, my students loans have gone to collections, and I am working with the ACT program, paying $5 a month just so that I stay in good standings, but it has affected my credit score in a negative way, and I am not able to obtain another student loan at any other school.
I have no degree, nor an accounting career. Only a bad credit score, and a debt of $30, 000.
I believe I am entitled to a loan forgiveness.
Thank you
Ara DeGray

University of Phoenix [UOPX] corrupt, scam, criminal (crap) "school"

University of Phoenix Sanctioned by the Government - The university was found by the GAO to have prioritized financial success over student outcomes, with low spending in instruction per student and a 66 percent withdrawal rate among students in associate degree programs. In November 2009, the University of Phoenix’s parent company, resolved a 2004 U.S. Department of Education investigation by settling for $10 million. Regulators accused the university of making recruiter pay dependent on enrollment numbers. The Apollo group settled for $78.5 million when a whistle-blower made allegations of enrollment-based recruiter incentives. In October 2010, the University of Phoenix lost a $10 million lawsuit with the Oregon Attorney General for poor financial practices. The lawsuit charged that University of Phoenix misled investors, and failed to follow federal student loan protocol, which in some cases led to improperly canceled student loans. In 2013, it was sanctioned by the Higher Learning Commission, due to concerns regarding student assessment, governance and faculty scholarship and research for the school’s doctoral programs. Under this sanction, the university got to keep its accreditation, but had to submit reports to the agency on a regular basis. As of May 2015, the university’s parent company, Apollo Education Group Inc. was the subject of at least two investigations by state attorneys general. In July 2015, the FTC announced that it had issued Apollo a “Civil Investigative Demand, ” and would be looking into the use of potential deceptive advertising, sale or marketing of Apollo’s services to students.

University of Phoenix was (IS) the subject of an Education Department audit, which revealed that the school overcharged lenders and this department by over a half million dollars. University of Phoenix spends an unusually high portion of revenue on marketing and a relatively small amount on instruction (for its exclusively online program). Most instructors are part-time and accreditation could be an issue in the near future. University of Phoenix appears to maintain aggressive enrollment goals for the more than 300 recruiters it employs. Many former students of University of Phoenix have been plagued with high debt to income ratios after taking out student loans from this for-profit university. University of Phoenix was recently questioned for having a high withdrawal rate amongst students in its programs and for spending an unusually high percentage of revenue on marketing and its aggressive, untruthful recruiting tactics.

University of Phoenix Class Action Lawsuit [protected]: The University of Phoenix is being sued and may be “shut down”, by court order! Three former students who withdrew from the university filed the lawsuit out of Arkansas, whereas the students claimed that the University of Phoenix sought tuition payments directly from the students after they withdrew instead of deducting the payments directly from the students' loans. The students withdrew because the quality of education they received from the University of Phoenix was extremely poor, the instructors would not help them, and some instructors went missing for a few days in the online classrooms.

University of Phoenix is well known as one of the largest for-profit colleges in the US, and may also be among the most predatory. University of Phoenix has a long history of lawsuits for its’ deceptive practices. The “school” was recently being sold, leaving students out in the dark. The university has paid several government fines and settled whistle-blower lawsuits concerning its admissions practices and education programs. In 2000, the federal government fined the university $6 million for including study-group meetings as instructional hours. In 2002, the Department of Education relaxed requirements on instructional hours.

In 2014 the US Dept of Education’s Office of the Inspector General demanded records from the University of Phoenix and its parent company Apollo Group going back to 2007 “related to marketing, recruitment, enrollment, financial aid, fraud prevention, [and] student retention.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] advisors: enrollment/ re-entry

I have been proactive in efforts for re-entry of online classes on 8/15/17 with UoP. My advisor took leave due to a family emergency; this was learned when I hadn't heard from her so sent an email requesting an update. An auto-reply came back to me stating she was out and if i was anticipating a 8/15/17 enrollment start date, she would not be back in time to achieve this and I should call a number. I did that. Another advisor entered my paperwork and said I would be hearing back from them. Four days passed so I called again. This time my original advisor was back in the office and took my call. She said they needed my high school information. Now remind you, I have been enrolled at UoP previously with all documents submitted and cleared. This advisor said I could not start because they needed the paperwork again. NO ONE EVER WAS ASSIGNED TO MY CASE DURING HER LEAVE. NO ONE EVER CALLED ME AFTER THE PAPERWORK WAS ENTERED. NO ONE DID ANYTHING TO ASSIST ME IN THIS ENROLLMENT! UoP proved a lackadaisical process and procedure in a time when a UoP employee was unable to complete their duties for any given reason or absence. My goals have been severed and put on hold due to an absence of procedure in such situations, and allowing a student to shoulder the burden due to their lack of planning. I am so disappointed and do not wish to LEARN from such an institution!

University of Phoenix [UOPX] school disbursements and financial aid with the school

I would make the complaint but as I am in school right now, I don't want this to get in their hands just yet. I have to make a decision to withdraw and go with the class action lawsuit or not and just get my BS degree since I'm under a year of graduation. Don't really know what to do right now spoke to another company about this they said to take a day to think about what to do. So that's what I'm doing. I'll get back to you once I decide and I can explain whats been happening and why I'm so upset. Thanks

University of Phoenix [UOPX] marginalization

Unfortunately once again, I am going to have to leave

a negative review for this school. This school

decided to end my class for me today, when they wanted

to on their terms, with no regard for my individual

circumstances.

After a few weeks of struggling with one sick child

child with a bedwetting problem, another child with

after-school activities, a verbally abusive husband

recently placed in a wheelchair, and no help with any

household chores, I fell behind in certain aspects of

the class. To be very specific, what I fell behind in

wasn't reading my books or following the assignments,

it was the interaction requirement where students are

required to post reviews in response to book readings

and content-related questions. They consider posting

an attendance requirement.

This posting requirement is insignificant in

proportion to the rest of the class content, and my

grade was still an A. People make up ridiculously

inane comments just to get points for interaction. In

fact, there was a woman in a previous class who could

barely compose a sentence, who was stealing other

people's online works, and posting without references.

Complaint after complaint yielded no results, and I

was disciplined for sending her an email accusing her

of plagiarizing, and they still gave her credit for

the class, I'm sure. I posted a review about that

woman previously.

The administration this evening provided me with an

excuse that the DOE requires them to keep track of

attendance, and that near-death circumstances are

required to be able to reinstate a class cancelled due

to attendance. I was told the system automatically

does it.

They do not track login/logout and do not consider it

attendance, therefore they refused to acknowledge that

I was still reading my books and perusing discussions.

I know that their refusal to reinstate my class had

nothing to do with DOE, and everything to do with

placing this ridiculous policy above my worth as a

human being.

Now I have an employer who is never going to pay for

the class because it wasn't completed, and the school

won't reverse the charges, I'm sure. I'm not paying

for the class, because I can't. I went to them to

improve my life, and instead they left me with a huge

bill that I'll never be able to pay back.

I'm posting this everywhere because I want people to

know they don't care about the work you do, or who you

are. They care about policy, your student number, and

that's about it. I would avoid this school. I've

gone to other colleges and never was I locked out of a

class due to attendance (and this I wouldn't even

refer to as attendance), in the midst of completing

it.

I had planned to finish the posting requirements today

though late and accept a late grade, but they

destroyed my opportunity to do that as well. A

student can choose to have mediocre grades and

attendance and accept a mediocre grade if they want

to. That is none of their business.

I know there are a lot of different complaints on this

school, as I have a colleague who is attempting to sue

them right now regarding a similar issue. I'd watch

it if you plan to go through them as they will cost

you a lot of time and expense.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] financial aid

My name is Robert Schirmer and I was an online student at the University of Phoenix University Of Phoenix / Axia College / Apollo Group
from 2005 to 2011. In that time I earned two degrees. The first being an associate of the arts in criminal justice and the other a bachelor's of science in psychology. In that time I had a new financial counselor every quarter and could never get a straight answer regarding my student loans and Pell grants. I was told my first degree would cost 22, 000 which I would not have to start paying back until six months after graduation. Upon graduating I was informed if I did not continue my education the loans would come due immediately so I re-enrolled for my bachelor's program. I was told that was only 35, 000 yet now I owe $101, 014.00. This does not include what I have already paid! I have called as well as sent written requests for detailed statements on what my student loans paid and what they did not, as well as where my Pell grant money went because I never received a dime of it! They have denied all requests. They refuse to send my transcripts and degree certificate claiming I still owe them $500.00. I was promised job placement upon graduation and that never happened either.

I submitted another written request a week ago asking for my transcripts, degree certificate, and a detailed statement of what the school received from the federal student loans on my behalf. That request went ignored as well. I believe I was way over charged for the two degrees I earned and that I was lied to by the recruiters, my numerous financial counselors, and the school itself.

I have contacted the department of education but having difficulty getting the loans dismissed. My wages are being garnished and I cannot find work in my field of study because last I was told by potential employers was The University of Phoenix is no longer an accredited school. Not to mention that my degrees are considered “Junk Degrees”! So here I am still over 100, 000 in debt and trying to live on 1, 200 a month in wages because I cannot even use the degrees I have earned!
I have contacted
1) federal trade commission
2) state congressman / state senators
3) department of higher education federal
4) department of higher education wyo
5) state attorney general
6) better business bureau
7) contact your local and national news reporting stations

I am praying you can help!

University of Phoenix [UOPX] financial aid

When I orginally enrolled in uop in march 2015, I was told that my financial aid would be ready for disbursement about 30-60 days after my start date. Which seemed like no big deal to me at the time. I completed my fafsa applications for 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 all at once, as I was asked to by my fa, I uploaded every document asked for, and jumped through all their hoops, 30 days later though, i'm told I need to make a minor correction to my application, otherwise it would not be processed, so I made the correction and was told everything was perfect and I could continue my classes until everything processed fully, another 30 days went by, and my fafsa was still not approved, but my financial advisor told me, yet again, that I was cleared for classes and I could continue going, in june 2016 though I was forced to take a leave of absence, but when it was over I could continue my classes, well 7 thousand dollars in classes later, I ended up failing one class and was put on academic disqualification, even though technically I never actually received any funding from the government, no loans, no grants, nothing. I was told that if I wanted to be able to take classes again, I had to wait 6 months, and pay them the 7k directly. In the time frame of march 2016 until october 2016, I was allowed to rack up this bill, because my advisor assured me, on more than one occassion, that my fafsa would clear and cover it all, but could never tell me why it hadn't cleared, and always told me he had a "help desk ticket" opened on the issue (Which I still don't even know what that means). Now in march of 2017, after calling the fafsa offices etc, I find out that my fafsa had never been given to the school, and that I definitely never received any funding whatsoever.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] financial aid

I have been fighting with the university of phoenix for almost 3 months now. i attended for one week and withdrew before the 2nd week began. they are truly out to get money! the are a "for-profit" business and $'s are their bottom line. they lied on my fafsa when they made a "correction" based on my professional judgement i submitted by changing my 2015 irs tax information, which i used the irs tool on the fafsa application to import that data. they changed my income and refund to $0 ! now that i'm trying to attend a different college, the new college can't touch my loans or grants because the uofpee still has a "hold" on the 2nd term (starting april of next year) and are 3 weeks late (according to the law, which gives them 45 days after the date of withdrawal from their "company"). they don't care. they feel they are above the law.

My lender, cornerstone (mycornerstoneloan.org), has requested that i complete a "falsification of information" on the uofpee -- which i will do along with filing a complaint with the u.s. department of education.

If anyone needs to speak with the financial aid department managers, or even the director, i have their phone numbers! go to this website and the "top-dog" phone numbers are listed along with the names: http://universityofphoenixbeware.yolasite.com/

Http://universityofphoenixbeware.yolasite.com/

Will everyone please post the above url on any/every site you can find to assist people in accessing the "untouchable/unreachable" people at uofpee's financial aid department. these names and numbers are never offered or given out by the reps you call and speak with -- i was finally able to get them when my case got escalated to the department of disputes at uofpee ... please share the website listed above and have everyone you know post it! so many people need these contacts in order to get their problems resolved!

University of Phoenix [UOPX] they stole both of my refunds!

I may have to consider a lawyer because of what was done to me over the course of months. The administration of this school gave me half-truths and purposely kept out information - it seems - because for some reason because of a technicality I knew NOTHING about, I don't get my refund ...at all. Thanks a lot. The reason I had to do a leave of absence is because of your administration and I still end up being punished for not knowing...again.

I was going to class. Doing all of the work and passing. I logged on the 8th to see if the classes were there to log in. And thought that was enough because of my track record of when I do log in and participate is around Wednesday. Janalee Gumm told me that classes started back on the 8th and if I would have internet then. She didn't tell me to put on my leave of absence the day that I'd actually log in to do classwork. She didn't tell me in order to get my refund back I have to log in AND participate in class on the 8th. She's the reason why I had to do the leave of absence in the first place because she decided to wait until I called the school to tell me that I needed "tax transcripts" because my W2's wasn't enough which wasn't made clear to me either until that very same phone call. I had timed my refund with my internet bill so I'd be able to pay it to stay in school. Which lead to the leave of absence in the first place. I still have all the emails.

I'm getting punished on a technicality that I did not know about.

And all of THAT happened AFTER I had already called and asked if there was anything else they needed. Rodney Harris on numerous occasions told me everything was alright. He's the reason why my name is still Asilee McLain even though I sent him my change of name forms and divorce decree. I still have that email, too.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] university of phoenix

I was advised that my tuition was going up 300 per class, I don't have a problem with that, but it went from [protected] and I was told that the reason it did, was because I asked for my Associates diploma to be mailed to me back in May, in which I haven't received at all, but this is unheard of and also a rip off. I feel as though I have no recourse of action. I am forced to finish my classes online because unless I am willing to change my major to Business, then the University of Phoenix doesn't specialize in Accounting/Finance. This is a college, so why wasn't I told this in the beginning? Why am I left with only 6 classes and begin screwed over, and my financial advisor KRISTEN GOODRICH says her hands are tied and there is nothing more she can do for me. WOW. So asking for something that I have worked hard to achieve voids a tuition freeze and I am left to suffer. I have to know figure out if I will drop out of school, or continue in a program in which I am very unhappy about. The University has shown me that they are not people of integrity, morals or values and they don't care about the student in in manner

University of Phoenix [UOPX] financial department

On 3/23/16 my loan was dispersed to the University. I owned no funds for my courses because they were paid in full with my initial disbursement received on 10/31/15. So the new disbursement was to be send to me as I was at a $0.00 balance. I've finished 3 of my required courses along with an additional 1 week course that they never told me about when I registered. But non the less I did it because I need my CTEL. I received a notice that my load was dispersed to Phoenix from the loan company. I never heard anything from Phoenix. I called them on 3/25/16 because the information was not listed on my account (technical issue). I was told from my financial adviser that the funds would most likely be distributed in one week. Well it's been 18 days and no one knows what happening and I can't get a straight answer or a returned phone call. I have one class yet hopefully I can get my money before it begins next week. But next week I will be sending all of the issues that I have been keeping track of to the Arizona's Attorney Generals Office. The Financial Advisers guidelines and the Financial Aid Office needs some immediate modification.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] gunsmith certification

I feel heartfelt regret to read all of the unfortunate outcomes on the predations of PSU "staff" on people looking to better themselves. I myself was eyeing the site and thinking to myself this sounds too good to be true for the price, all the memberships, and apparent sheer amount of certification I can attain for my fledgling professional career. I did not spend any money because of that and the site looked rather sorry and hastily put together to just look like it had all the answers without any professional touches to its design. Also the name Phoenix State University is an attempt at corrupting the acclaimed University of Phoenix's title. I also noticed when I input: "how to become a gunsmith" into Cortana; my Windows 10 "digital assistant", PSU was the very first result. Odd. Good luck to all of you out there.

University of Phoenix [UOPX] unethical billing practices also financial aid

On 10/20/15 I had recently told my financial aid advisor that I wanted to withdraw from the school since the website was always done and other reasons. Now on 10/23/15 I had received my withdrawal process via email that I didn't complete a few days later since I had company here. Well today I find out that I was sent to collections. Mind you I have yet to even see a bill from the school.Nothing has been sent by email, mail, or phone. The school has sent me to collections in less than 30 days and I don't even know what for or let alone the amount. The collection lady even agreed that she was shocked. I have never attended a school that sent you to collections without sending you a bill this is the first for me!

University of Phoenix [UOPX] financial aid program

Ever since I have started the UoP I have had difficulties with my student financial obligations. First I was not given enough time to fix the issues and was repeatedly pulled from my classes three weeks in, surprisingly always right at the mark when you begin to have to pay for the whole class, yet I was never notified that my financial aid wasn't cleared. For over a year I have battled with numerous other problems as well. Such as being dropped from a class and it taking a week for someone to even know why. Currently I am trying to file for ANY financial support to get BACK into classes for the 8th time now. My adviser literally told me he did not know how I could get anything. He gave me no information at all. I have previously received Parent Plus assistance but would now like to get assistance in my own name. Everyone else I know is able to do this, but for some reason my financial aid adviser doesn't know how I can do this? I honestly believe UoP is scamming it's students to get as much money as possible. I have been forced to drop classes multiple times with no warnings which has put me back almost 5 months. I am disgusted in the university and would recommend it to no one.
