I sent many complaints to DeVry and to various legal agencies. I spoke to an attorney last Friday and suggested I send out notes about any class action suits against DeVry and joining in them. If you do have one or have an attorney who is willing to engage in class action suit there are plenty of former students who have been ripped off.
If you have info on one please send me an email. [protected]@gmail.com

The attorney was considering the case said that I didn't have enough people who wanted to join. So they dropped it. If anyone does get a suit against DeVry off the ground please contact me. If anything further comes up with me I will post back here.

I'm in the same situation as most of you. If you all hear of any type of class action lawsuit please let me know. I have documentation of who I've spoken to, amounts of what I was suppose to owe and such. I have an MBA that means nothing. Ashley.dellen@yahoo.com

I agree with all the complaints, I am in the same boat as PT09372. Anytime I tried to contact a teacher or student advisor I either got no answer at all or the run around. When I talked to devry before I started they told me that it would take me 3 1/2 years to 4 years to graduate depending how many classed I took at a time. They also told me that it would cost no more then 57, 000 for the whole degree. Well every year my requirements kept getting longer and the funds were drying up faster then they should have. When I talked to devry they kept telling don't worry about it that the system sometimes messes up. Well after my 3rd year there I was almost completely out of funds and still no where close to completing my degree. So I call them again to discuss the matter only to be told that it would cost me at least another 50, 000 or more to complete my degree and I have another 2 or 3 years before completing. They told me I could take out a money with them to cover for the rest of the cost. I told them no. This school literally scammed me from the start. IF there is any Class action lawsuits out there against this school or if there is any students who want to combine and go for a lawsuit, PLEASE contact me and lets see what we can do. Email is Enemy122002@yahoo.com.

I could not agree more with the comments I am reading. I tried to get another degree through DeVry: EE. I was an online student and during the time enrolled at DeVry, I was only able to communicate with two of the 'professors' that 'taught' the course. The remainder of the instructors I wasn't able to reach if I had questions...in some cases, I NEVER received a reply from the teacher(s). The student loan debt continued to increase to the point that I wasn't able to finish my EE as I was close to maxed out on student loans. Strapped with a massive student loan debt now, I cannot continue my education to complete this degree as DeVry charged a massive amount of money, but provided nothing in return. Discussion the possibility of transferring credits with another accredited agency...good luck. DeVry's standards would only transfer ~85% of the credit in. In other words, if you need a credit balance of 5 points to transfer in a course, DeVry's credits in said class would only account for 4 - 4.5. I have never been so dissatisfied with a learning agency/school and am so disappointed I ever signed up. No help, no true instruction, no credit transfers...and massive debt was all that I achieved/received from DeVry. The institution is corrupt, staff if you're able to reach them, unresponsive, uncaring, unable to help. I cannot finish my EE and this is 100% due to DeVry. I would happily get on-board a class action suit against them as they wronged me in so many ways. (vridar@gmail.com)

Hi Everyone,

I created a facebook page called Stop DeVry in hopes that I can keep the same scam from happening to others. I have also had a fair share of issues with DeVry and it makes me sick that it happens to hundreds of people. My hope is that this page can reflect the reality of DeVry and what it has done to people like us. Please express your story so we can all be heard and maybe if we get enough people something can be done. It may not happen over night but I am willing to stand of for what is right and show the wrong being done by this school. If you have any questions please email me at stopdevry@outlook.com.

My husband was ripped off by Devry as well. He qualified for grants...we were told his grants paid for all of his sducation at Devry. He was in the hospital with a sever infection that required surgery and was "dropped" from classes. Then when he quit for the summer semester to catch up on bills and such, we got a bill in the mail for a Stafford loan for $14K! Prior to that day we had no idea they had gotten a Stafford loan for him. Now Devry wont speak to us, wont answer how this "mistake" happened, and the "financial advisor" is NO LONGER THERE! Gee...I wonder why?! I am highly interested in a class action suit against this poor excuse for a school. Email me if anyone gets anywhere, or sees a lawsuit open up anywhere...sjs1982@gmail.com

I am with you. I have had so many problems with DeVry online with the instructors, finance and their so called "Academic Advising" team. They do NOTHING to help students no matter how wrong they are. I graduate soon and I cannot wait until I never have to speak or deal with them again. This has been the worst and most frustrating 2 1/2 years I have ever encountered. DeVry was the biggest mistake I have ever made.

my name is Joe LaBuda. I also was wrongfully dismissed and my HIPPA rights were also violated at Devry Phoenix. I was dismissed by "post-it" note, basically for making an ADA complaint to so called ADA REP / (really dean of Students, who also is dating one of the people I complained about) HAHAHA this is the caliber of this university. The last laugh will be on them. Thanks to abigail and the one time VA rep "travis hurt", I now have hard evidence to sue devry and several people personally, such as the ADA rep/ Dean of students Hi there, I am going to sue you too! Basically they are really screwed up and now i HAVE THE INTERNAL PAPERWORK TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. Ah, life is good.
Do not make mistake of even thinking about wasting your time at DEVRY Mesa/Phoenix - oops, di mention that I am going to sue people at devry personally? have a nice day!
