University of Phoenix [UOPX]
reviews and complaints

That is HoRRIbLE! I really believe the fradulent acts are tied between the school and reps who process our loans from the actual loan companies. The government and loan companies should require actual signatures to process somethng of this extinct. This is a very valuable financial reponsibility, to leave in the hands of such businesses, who are out to cash in. I can't understand how banks submit 10, 000.00 to an online school, and I can't get a loan for a home deposit and new business. Are they working together?

I never attended this school but, I attended one similar. Colorado Technical University is pretty much the same way as uop from what I have read. They are all scammers out to get your money. If I could give a piece of advice to anyone planning on going to school it would be to attend a community college or state school as they are much cheaper and credible. It sounds to me like you need a lawyer on this one, it's fraudulent to sign a loan for someone else and there has to be some way you can sue them or get them investigated.

I was looking into uop...not any more. The kind of things Ive heard about this school are ridiculous. Besides the degree being pretty much worthless from what I can tell, it's outrageously expensive. Plus once you consider the fact that no other schools will accept their credits, Its an easy decision to not go there. Plus, If I wanted to teach myself, Id just go down to the public library. All in all, it sounds like a crazy scam. Oh, btw, any of you people that are students and defending the place are probably just in denial because you have already forked out thousands of dollars. You people are the sheep that uop loves. The ones complaining, joining lawsuits, etc, are people sticking up for them selves. There is nothing wrong with that. From what I can tell, even a community college associates degree will get you farther in life than a masters from uop. At 1/1000 the cost at that lol

The organization is crooked; that is all there is to it. If a student goes through their process, without any hiccups and graduates, all is well in the world. The school gets their money and the student gets a piece of paper that hopefully will be helpful in gaining a better life for themselves.
However, if the student has a problem that takes them outside of the normal track, the unethical and possibly illegal practices of the school come blazing forth. The school MUST (can't verify this but it sure seems that it may be the truth) strongly coach their financial advisors to push the students through the loan application process. You appoligists, did you fill out your own paperwork? Most people I have talked to were urged to allow the FA to do it so it would "go quicker." Why do this? So the student will give the school permission to handle the money for the student instead of the student being issued a check.
Once the loan is approved, the school will book as many future classes into their financial system and dedicate those funds to the classes. If a problem occurs, like an illness, the school sends all the money back to the government because they don't want to mess with their source of money, then they turn their attention to the sick student to get that money back.
For those of you who were "challenged" by the classes at UoP, you probably would have been challenged anywhere. I can tell you that my MBA is a $40K piece of paper. I didn't learn anything in the classes. The econ, finance, accounting, etc. were not even refreshers of what I had in my undergrad classes. The marketing and other management classes didn't even use the books we were forced to buy from the school store.
Run screaming while you can and find a place that doesn't make you feel like you need a shower every time you talk to them.

I've attended UoP for my bachelors, and decided to stay for my masters in Developmental Psychology. I really don't think I could have made a better choice, to be honest. It seems as if most people that complain about them really just couldn't stick it out. All it takes is patience, and...you know...a little intelligence. They have always been helpful and all of my advisors have been unbelievably quick at getting back to me about any complaint I may have.

I have had a few courses where the professor wasn't up to par with what I expected, but I'm sure that happens at virtually every school. And only once did I receive my financial aid funds a little later than I expected, but I eventually expected that too happen, and actually more often than it did.

I also have a couple of friends and relatives that attend, and they have the same experience I've had. There are always little issues that happen along the line, but it's part of life. They've not ruined my finances, or anything. If anything, they assisted me in finding MORE options in funding my education, and in the three years I've been attending, have only had to take out one student loan at the very beginning.

I'm convinced most of the people that complain hold grudges, rather like a five-year-old would against another child that has a toy they want. Really, suck it up and stop trying to bring people down with you!

I almost went to keiser! Thank GOD! or this web site! I have almost made one of the biggest mistakes in my life! You alowed me NOT to do that! Thank you very much!

Nov 19, 2010. I have been attending UOP since last April and my only problem with them is the recent changes in the pell dispursement. I have been given the run around on a weekly basis and it is very frustrating. I have not failed any classes or even came close to it and still try to work hard. I actually enjoyed the school and even recommended it until now. It has been well over 3 months and still not one person has given any real answers to what is going on. I am not here to "whine", I would just like the truth. I have only read negative things and cannot get any answers from the school. I have called Dep of Ed and the implied their part is done, as far as the grant money, and it is all on the school now. I would just like some answers please.

I wonder if the few who are on here defending UoP work for the same group that runs the call centers that claim to be a University? I have read and heard far more negativity than positivity since I began having my problems with them.

@ jason1984, yes I failed a couple of classes your right, my fault. And yes I live off of my loans because my job doesn't pay me [censor], but I have a job and have had one since I was 15. @JEE86, you didn't work your [censor] off for your degree. You posted a few BS answers to even more BS questions on a discussion forum. and @M.King, your right UoP went over most of it, not all of it, and then skirted the truth on others.

My problem with UoP is the lies they told before my first block started. My enrollment counselor told me that Harvard uses UoP for its continuing education classes and that the credits I obtained their would be transferrable to any University within the same regional accredidation, these are both egregious lies. I also asked about the amount of time I was expected to be in class, as I was weighing my options between the local community college and UoP, and was told maybe three hours a day twice a week. Well anyone who has attended knows this is not the case. You are required to be there two days for attendance, however the "facilitators" require participation 4 days a week. My grade is a direct result of their system not working properly, my "facilitator" not responding to questions, not being clear about expectations, and numerous other things. Getting no credit for answers that did not meet word counts by 2-3 words instead of reduced credit. Its BS, completely up to the facilitator how to grade, no structure, no rhyme or reason to anything. I hope all universities like this get shut down

You obviously have absolutely no idea what your talking about if you think the University of Phoenix gets the Financial Aid money within the first week of school. The funny thing here is, all the people that get on these websites and complain about UOP or any other business for that matter, generally screwed it up themselves. I bet you if we looked your records, we would see a lot of failed classes, drops, and missed attendance. The Finance Counselor goes over all of this with each student before they start class, yet you idiots decide to be lazy or just plain stupid and fail anyways. How about saving the money you receive from your Excess Funds and investing it? Or maybe putting it in a savings? Those are much better ideas then living off of it because your do damn lazy or student to get a job. If you go to class and passes those classes like your supposed then most people graduate. But its the complete ignorant [censor]s who feel the world is out to get them.

First, you must be a UOP student due in part to your atrocious spelling, which is even more ridiculous due in part to this box providing you with a spell check of sorts. And financial aid does not take your claim of 45 to 90 days to process. It disbursed the school after you complete one week of classes. You really didn't think they'd let you go through a full "block" of courses without having received money to protect themselves now do you? They just hold on to it in the event you fail to complete this "block" of courses. If you don't, they send it back to the lender and then bill you, simple as that.

I'm a graduate of University of Phoenix. This school was very helpful for me. The education was well paid for. I don't understand why people have such negative comments about this place! They are nationally accredited, and fully accredited by a Postsecondary Education Commission in the state where I reside. So, employers recognize it where I live. However, not all states recognize University of Phoenix transcripts/credits. All people should research products/services before they agree to them, even if it is education. Not all online schools are accredited in certain regions and states- it is up to the student to research that or ask questions. I do believe the government website has University of Phoenix down as have 38 states that they were individually accredited in, as well as being recognized by the NCAHLC and the US Department of Education. I'm tired of hearing people say UOP is a diploma mill! I worked my ### off for my degree!

Dear M.King:

Your response is poorly written. You managed to have "butchered" the English language to the point in which your argument does not have any credibility.

You obviously have been duped which demonstrates your lack of intelligence allowing yourself to become prey to an predator online education institution.

I hope you do learn something from the organization. At that time, you may become enlightened allowing you to come to a rationale and informed conclusion about the purpose of the University of Phoenix.

If you want the truth, read my post.

uOP rejected my employer's tuition reimbursement & instead accepted a student loan, so I was left in debt because of their incompetence & failed to correct the error. They are a bunch of thieves at uop, the financial aide dept. only communicates with you once and that is the ONE time to get your money once you sign the contract it is very hard to talk.to them afterwards, they do not return calls. I have dated documents with times & names of whom I spoke with concerning mix up with my employer's tuition reimbursement attempts to pay for my classes Vs. accepting payment thru a loan. I basically spoke with a person at an unk remote site & I was told that they no longer met on a person to person basis, it was all done via telephone. Which I thought was so chicken ### of them. For years I had been trying to get UoP to refund my money which was about less than $8, 000.

HEY! Go easy on this student. I attended UOP over two years ago and I disagree with learning teams. The learning team was not what I expected it to be at all. I thought we would all put our share of ideas to work. Unfortunately, after doing so things did not go over well at all. This student who was on our team stated she would do her part in researching she did not we lack points on our presentation. Luckly, I followed my first ming and research the topic which brought the team back to an A+. I have my other fellow students to thank. I do not understande why we have learning teams. Oh! be sure to pay UOP. They will try and block you from transferring, you may want to contact a lawyer. Stay away from BMC I have heard something about them I say go to a real University like Avila this way you get what you expect and pay for in an education.

If you have had nothing but problems then why are you still attending? You will end up with learning teams at any other online school so you might as well just get used to it. You don't have to be an online student to "not do" your work. I have had learning team members at a ground campus not show up for meetings and not participate in an assignment.

PS credits are transferable because I have done it. May want to do some mroe research before you bash an educational institution... Try getting into see a counselor at a ground class, and also try to get them to help you put together your schedule...They're useless, I graduated with 18 extra credits due to counseling issues. Try and transfer classes that don't even count towards your program while you were wasting your ime listening to anoher couselor, then you come talk to me.

Im hiring a lawyer

I Agree with ASIA...
I had to dropp classes as well due to me moving away and Im getting the run around and have to borrow to pay off my collections account.
Others are soo quick to put down when you just venting or expressing a disgust. Here are two ppl that have been where you are. You'll get through it. Some companies are filed with Money greed.
s/n: Maybe those two NUM NUTS above are the Reps that keep telling us NO!

hey sweetie...don't listen to those [censor]s above...forgive for they are not human and have never made a mistake in their life...things happen...i was in the same situation...i stopped attending because my stepfather died and i became very sadden and unmotivated...basically, about the situation the only alternative is to pay the money...That is exactly what I did. I tried everything I could think of to get out the situation. All failed. I had to borrow the money from a family member. Be sweet and Keep God first and all will work in your favor.

You should have stayed in attendance. It is sooooo hilarious to see how people refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Just like you sat your butt on here and blabbed about this, you should have done it in class and you would have never had this problem!

contratulations, you got your degree in stupidity, magna cum ###

Giving the opportunity to go back to school for my associates degree was blessing for me. I decided to go to UOP and they said that my tuition and materials will be paid for through financial aid and a student loan. My grade point was 3.5 and I was exertremly proud of myself because I never thought I can do so well in a university. After four months I recieved a letter in the mail stating that my balance was zero balance. In September, the financial advisor called me to make payment arrangements on my account. She stated my account had a outstanding balance of 1, 400 dollars and I can pay out of pocket or pay thru my student loan. I was upset thru the whole conversation because she stated that I couldn't take my next two classes until the debt was paid in full. I ask her why is she calling me about money when I recieved a letter stating that my loans was paid in full, of course the phone was in silence. She never gave me direct answer about this and I start getting really upset because I felt misled, lied to, and robbed. My next classes started on October 4, 2010 and they dropped me from the school because I didn't have the money to pay for them. I didn't hear from them for weeks, than I get a call of course a week before Thanksgiving from Michelle (financial advisor) saying I'm 60 days late paying on a debt. I explained to her I couldn't afford the school and if I had that kind of money I would have went to a Community College instead of UOP. She said that the debt will be transfered over to collections and I can make payment arrangements with them. Today [protected]) I called collection to make payment arrangements and they decline the offer I gave them which was 20.00 dollars a month because I'm on a fix income, they decline and said I have 90 days to pay or the debt will go on my credit report as bad debt. They wanted me to give them 1, 246 up front or pay 400.00 dollars or else my credit will be ****, but I just do not have that kind of money. I need help, they lied to me and all I wanted is clear answers and I'm getting the run around and now UOP is distroying my future and credit all in one year. I only took five classes and owe 8, 000 dollars to my student loan and found out that all the classes I took is not transferable to any other college. I'm frustrated and need help to get my money back. I want in on the class action suit. Any additional information to get involved I will gladly give. Please contact me and hope this web site can help me and others that have been misled. I want to talk to someone or make some type of moves because believe me UOP is not going to stop using, misleding, lieing, over charging people until they are shut down. PLEASE HELP!

A class action lawsuit is on the way for the fraud and deceptive business practices at the UOP to participate a CA firm has been retained to to inversigate University of Phoenix please email them with any details about your experience at the University at: uopfraud@gmail.com.

I had the same experience, they changed the 7 year to 10 year graduation requirement on me. Even though I have proves that they did not disclose the information properly, or that they were misleading, I had no luck changing their mind. I am still paying the loan for an unfinished degree, and refuse to go back to University of Phoenix, unless they will allow me to finish my degree under the 10 year guideline. I get the same impression that they are after the money. I do not know how these people can sleep at night! Can 't they see how much damage they cause! I am furious, and I do loose sleep over it! Anyone who has the same situation, please comment; perhaps, we will be able to build a strong case against them and will be allowed to finish a degree as promised.

I also have a PhD in my field, years of University teaching experience, and I work as a professional in my field. I looked into teaching for U of phoenix; I sent in my resume and in return I got an invitation to send in my transcripts. I also received a very suspiciously vague description about the "training" that is required that is not paid. I asked the faculty recruiter what exactly is involved in this unpaid training, and she refused to answer the question (Judi Villa in Louisiana). It soon became apparent that these people were recruiting faculty by being very dishonest. One must wonder if this applies to there student recruitment as well.

I have to wonder a bit about a "Phd." that cannot form a coherent sentence.

AxiaLady: Your second sentence is incorrect. It should read: Your spelling and grammar ARE horrible. Nice job.

I am actually getting the same degree as you tlittle 03. I will be finished with my associates in a few weeks and will be continuing on to get my BS. I also have not really had any problems with this school. The only hesitations I ever had were because of all the bad stuff I read on these things. Alot of these complaints could be cleared up if the individuals would have just read the information they signed when they decided to go with the UOP. Read the fine print! No one is stopping you. My experience in this school has been challenging academically and helpful financially. I am not a stupid person and I got very reasonable grades all through highschool as well as now in this school. I am a single mother so I qualify for big payouts every 6 months or so. I get $2000 checks in the mail multiple times a year! That money really helps a single mother like me. I am very in tune with my financial status at the UOP and every cent I have recieved from my lender or the government is accounted for. Do your own research and keep track of yourself. Now not everyone is going to have a great experience. Didn't your mother tell you that you can't please everyone. The people that have problems with the UOP probably did not follow the rules. It is called life and you need to suck it up and take responsibilty for your own actions.

bigtimegeologist: Please return to Oklahoma State University. Your spelling and grammar is horrible. MicroSoft offers a program called Word which can check both spelling and grammar. I am sure such a big time school like Oklahoma State told you of this program.

tlittle 03, I guess they don't teach punctuation, spelling, and grammer at UOP. Reading your comments told me all i need to know about UOP. Try getting a real science degree there like engineering (EE or civil). If you pay the money you should get the "real thing". Ask your trusted counselors if you can get a dgree in geology or law.
I have a BS from Oklahoma State University and trust me, IT"S NOT HE SAME!

Please let me know what happened with this. I am currently going through the same thing with UOP/Axia. My financial advisor was Veronica and left me in the wind. When I got a new financial advisor, she just wanted money out of my pocket with no explantion to what really was wrong and now I have withdrawn and the money they want is higher. If anyone knows of any lawsuit regarding this University, please let me know so I can join the band wagon thanks smtait2009@yahoo.com

I am very unhappy with the financial officers as well. I am getting a run around from that department as far as receiving information for myself and financial aid from school. I sent of a FERPA Release form and a form to be completed of a student verification and financial aid to them and they sent it back incorrectly the first time and then had me resend the information only to now deny me the information requested. Would someone please respond to this e-mail and tell me where I can make a complaint and to whom about their misconduct. You can e-mail me at playette1play@aol.com Thank you,

Hi madstudent1,
What is the current status of you UoP experience now? Did you spend the leftover money they sent you? I did, and now they called two months later and told me I should have never spent. They want it back because I don't have enough financical aid money, which they neglected to tell me when my loan was approved.

Liars, scammers, cheaters, thiefs. I am beginning to think they are part of the "Stepford" cloning experience. These people cannot be human! Did you read about the lady with cancer? I am appalled! But then, I am human.

Recently I became a student at the Axia University and later found that I was trapped inside of a "slavery"campus. I would never have receive breaks and always had to report to class no mattere what. The school is three credit hours 1, 034 dollars per three credit hours, that means when I graduate I am going to the old the "mandortory student loans" "Sallie Mae" over 30, 000 dollars. That is only for an Associate Degree I am trapped inside this horrible nightmare can someone help to get out!

Well, it seems to me unfortunate that so many individuals have had bad experiences from the University of Phoenix. Although I have never attended, nor do I plan to attend the University of Phoenix, it is apparent that many have had similar financial disputes with the University, and as an end result, have taken a grievous loss. While others have had good experiences with the University, it is also evident these individuals are in no way empathetic toward those who have not shared the same wonderful experiences. In many ways, the feelings, or lack thereof from these individuals, is a reflection of the indecorous nature of the University staff.

While the University affords seemingly good opportunities, those who are in unfortunate financial circumstances are left out to dry. Why is it that our educational institutions care less about educating, and are more concerned about the profits they rake in? It is no wonder we ranked 25th in Math, 17th in Science, and 14th in Reading out of 34 countries. The very individuals who need a chance to receive a proper education are being left behind. I would like to express my deepest condolences to those who have been failed by the education system. They have not only failed you, but have also failed our Country, by allowing this nation to fall behind.

Please, for those of you, who have been down on your luck, do not be disparaged! If you want to change the system then you have to become a part of it. So, it is my hope that all of you persevere in your endeavors to be the best that you can be. On that day when you become a part of that system, which has kept you down for so long, it will be up to you to recognize and correct its inherent fallacies. It is up to you to change the system from the inside out, so there is not another starving mind being refused the same opportunities afforded to those of great wealth, or a higher social status! We must unite as one nation, under God!

In closing, I would like for those reading this post to reflect on the words spoken by a man who changed a corrupt system for the betterment of society.

"A society governed in terms of double standards is self- destructive".
- Mahatma Gandhi

I would have to agree that the UOP is really a mess, I am currently enrolled and they gave me such a hard time. It seemed like the enrollment advisor called me everday until they finally convinced me that finacially I would be covered including my discount I would get. Well on the first block of classes and I had the hardest time because my wife and I been separated for the past two years but on the finanical aid they only ask if you are married, divorced, or single, so I was neither one because techinally we ar still married..little did I know that that would give me the blues, so I had to go to my taxpreparer and explained to them because UOP said I did my taxes incorrectly I filed single/head of household. Finally after sending a letter, and my taxpreparer explaining they gave me the approval. Here in Louisiana they do not have legally separated. So I received first dismurment and that took it all because it paid for 4 classes, now recentlty has of 6-24-11 I was suppose to have a some coming back to me (which I was going to use to buy me another laptop for school).My finance advisor held it for the next block (8/14/11) because he failed to register me for the next finanacial aid...I had to find out when I called the school, he wasnt going to even call me and tell me nothing. When he thought I was going to have to pay the school he called me every single day and constantly sent emails. I am starting to look at transferring to another school that is closer to home that offers online.

Oh also im not sure how many credits i have with the university but im sure there was a few with the grades i kept while i was enrolled, and was even told by the counselors if i ever drop out or finish i can have my credits transferred if i go to another school or decide to come back to Axia ..anyone know how that really works?

And its worrying me now cause Im not sure my tax preparer i had for this past year handled the 1099 or whatever it is that the university says you are suppose to put on ur taxes.

I signed up around August 2009, was told i can sign up to get finacial help to pay for the entire schooling online that was around 15 grand or something, then they were to send me 2 different disembursement checks while i was doing this online to help me pay for anything i needed.Phone mins for my cell phone, a computer if i needed that, anything basically so i can take care of things to do the classes online.I did get my first check almost a month after i started classes.The next check i recieved in December. I was told if i drop out anytime i would have to pay back those 2 checks that were deposited into my bank. Or if i didnt pass a class i would end up having to pay to retake that class.WEll i was working days and nites taking care of my kids and everything else, doing my class work online and doing well actually better than i ever did in school 20yrs ago. Then around April 2010 i had the 2 classes for the 9 wks like we have been doing how it changed every 9 wks, so one class happend to be Intermediate Alegbra.Now for one im no good at Math period! and two we had choices in high school to sign up for algebra if we wanted, well of course i wasnt about to do that. So around this 4th wk of this class online i was already at a C-, so this discouraged me, and i asked counselors what to do and how get help.The teacher for this class suggested i take a class outside of the home.I was like wow seriously! seems how i already worked as much as i did, how could i find time to pay for a class to train me better in algebra? so with very little help or anything positive i gave up and quit.The status is i am withdrawn from Axia since May 2010. But recently this week, , [protected] i had a deposit of over $2000 put into my savings account for me from the ACH/Appollo which was how the checks before were deposited and who they came from.I have been getting letters since i quit last May from Nelnet the place i guess they sign you up with to repay the loans.They sent me one the other day saying i had to pay them and there was interest being added on seems how i havent attempted anything.Kinda hard to do now since i had to quit my job Feb 2011. So not sure how there site says something as far as getting assistance or something to make a payment, change your repayment option, apply for a deferment or forbearance, and much more! And according to that site i now owe over $800.Which is going to be impossible to pay right now, when im barely making it month to month on hardly nothing and being a single parent def not easy.So has this happend to anyone? Im not sure why Phoenix would put the deposit in my savings account of that high amount knowing I havent been online and they have me as a withdraw status since May 2010. The bank teller told me at first i could just take it out seems how its good, and if the school made a mistake thats on them.But it would be my fault im sure if i even touched that money and id prob be the one thrown in jail or having to pay back more than i already owe.Any opinions out there what to do? ive contacted all i can about this and only have heard from Nelnet but not Phoenix if this is there actually mess up.

The University of Phoenix is a joke. I was having a smooth ride until I was appoved for a grant. Once approved I was "randomly selected" for an audit and the school lessened my grant amount which wasn't much to complain about but then some four months later when it still was in the "certification" process I was told that I would have to pay out of pocket until the grant was certified and I have nothing but A's and B's. If that wasn't enough, I had a family trajedy and emailed my academic advisor for over a month, with no response, to request my fourth set of classes be pushed out for the maximum time allowed. Well when arguing about my government approved grant that they still hadn't given me, I was told my advisor wasn't responding because she was no longer my advisor and neither the old advisor nor the new one kept me abreast of the situation. I was even told the new advisor was an "asset to my graduation team" when she did not even take the time to call or email me to let me know who she was and that she would be my advisor. I found all this out the Friday before the classes were to start and conveniently enough I could not address the issue with anyone prior to that Monday. They suck!

University of Phoenix / Axia College has ripped me OFF! They lied, cheated me and so on and so fourth... They are nothing but a bunch of scam artist. If you are a victim as well PLEASE send your complaint/letter to me and I will help take action I am working on starting a class action and notifying the attorney general and department of education. You can mail your letter/complaint along with ANY proof to Ms. Staten, 2661 E Adams Court, Cudahy, WI 53110 or email destiny1983us@yahoo.com in the subject line write Axia Complaint

ALL schools with online classes charge more for internet courses. ALL of them. Plus, a degree is a degree from an accredited university, which I may add, the University of Phoenix is. When a person is taking online classes, it is for the convenience of being able to take these classes at basically your own pace. If you want convenience, you have to pay for it. Plus, a friend of mine is taking classes through Vatterot college, here in Joplin, MO and she too is going to wind up owing 30, 000 for her associate's degree. While it is an outstanding amount of money, it is not impossible to pay back, and it is definately worth it. There is no question about whether I feel it is worth it to pay back that kind of money or not, because I do. A good education, such as the one I am receiving from Phoenix, is priceless.

I have to agree with him about getting the run around with financial aid. I too had to file a 1040x when I was told by the government that I filed correctly. However, instead of complaining and being angry about it, I filed it. I didn't even have to wait until I received the official copy of it, all I had to do was send in the same form to the college that I sent into the IRS. (Who, by the way, informed the school that I had filed correctly.) I love the University of Phoenix, with the exception of my financial aid. I am still getting the run around about my refund, which really makes me angry, and I had a twisted financial aid advisor at first. Now, I have a good one who has done in less than one week, what it took the previous one since April to do. My teachers are excellent, and now, so are all my advisors.

Ok,

I am not disagreeing exactly but want to offer another perspective, if I may. I am wondering if any of the posters here were specifically told by their employer that UoP degrees really don't have credibility with them. In my experience, short of Ivy League big boys, an MBA or other Masters plus degree doesn't hold much wait without the corresponding experience that goes with it. I have a B & M undergrad, and an MBA and MA from different online schools and just started my PhD with still a different online university. I have over 15 years of experience to back up my education and have yet to have any challenges getting a six-figure job.

I can only imagine the frustration of busting your behind and blowing the budget to get that little piece of paper, but it is what you do with the knowledge in the YEARS after that will better secure your future. I think someone gave you bad data as it relates to expectations. In this economy that MBA may be exactly what allows the the entry level job where those with only a B.S. may be left hangin.'

Even though no one has asked for advice, I would offer it anyway from this old geiser; be patient, be deliberate with your job search and goals, and put in the work and time towards your dreams and enjoy the journey.

May God Bless you and your situation and lead you down the right path.

Sincerely,

Well why am i not suprised with these complains i am about to enroll and start school novermber 2009 and i am already having problems with the counselors..they have no dedication or motivation towards a students success..i am very much so dissapointed at the counselor appointed in the EL PASO TEXAS area handleing military seein as i am a military wife..i am having my sencond thoughts on this particular school and believe very much so that i am better off attending a community college that is much more credible not to mention cheaper ...

I totally agree, run as far away from the University of Phoenix as you can. Their MBA has no credibility and will not help you with your career. I "graduated" with my so called MBA almost 4 years ago. I was laid off from a management position with a large corporation. Now even with this lovely degree that was supposed to earn me a higher level position is a joke. I have over 100K in student loan debt because I had no help to pay for my education, yet the job I am doing is an entry level position that barely pays enough to make the monthly rent. The MBA from Phoenix has NO credibility and will NOT help you in your career.

Are you serious. Let me just say this... you DROPPED your classes and are shocked there is a hold on your transcripts and are billed from classes that you DROPPED. Hmm. Weird how that works. Now, you are filing a law suit because you did not graduate in 2 years? Did you have any credits when you started? I mean does ANYONE really think it is possible to EARN 120 credits for an ACCREDITTED degree in 2 years. I am sure your lawsuit will be thrown out.

Why don't people think about THEIR own part in their complaint.

If you are a student or an employee of UOP and you feel you have been treated unfairly, or even discriminated against please email me at takeastand09@gmail.com with a discription of what happened to you. Please also include the campus the incident occured. A class action suite against the university is being put together. Please only email if you are serious.

Shooter, to better explain myself to an retarted like you. We attend Axia "COLLEGE" Online because ofcourse just like you we also want to learn. That's why we enroll to college to get better english skills. But, we don't learn crap in Axia. Sorry we had to brake it down for you so that you can better understand the situation. I am sorry your brain does not help you in anyway to understand what we go through. I know you attend Axia because you write just like they teach you. Waste your time answering DQ's better...

Sorry, but it sounds like you never should have even graduated from high school based on the English skills in your post.
