In an attempt to clarify this response, we offer the following information as our interpretation of Ms [redacted] ’s complaint to the Revdex.com Ms [redacted] indicates that she was locked out of her scheduled courses However, it is important to note, Ms [redacted] was not intentionally locked out Occasionally it is necessary to reset passwords as a means of security through “ [redacted] Web Access” In response to her concern on 2/9/ [redacted] ***, Senior Academic Advisor, left a voicemail message for Ms [redacted] regarding the password reset process Mr [redacted] followed the voicemail message up with an email to her personal email On 2/18/Mr [redacted] offered to walk Ms [redacted] through gaining access to her scheduled courses when she could get in front of a computerShe stated that she does her school work on Saturdays and would not be willing to sit in front of a computer until then All log in issues have been resolved and Mr [redacted] will continue to reach out to her for any additional support that Ms [redacted] may require Currently, Ms [redacted] does not owe a balance to the college If Ms [redacted] were to withdraw prior to the end of the term which is, significantly past the add/drop period for the semester, her aid and loans will be prorated leaving her a balance owed to the college Related to Ms [redacted] ’s concerns regarding the College’s response to her email requests, Ms [redacted] indicates that Bryant & Stratton has been unresponsive As a student at Bryant & Stratton College each student receives a unique and easily identifiable email address with which they are advised to use as a means of communication with their instructors and the college staffMs [redacted] utilizes her personal email as a means of communicating with her deans and instructors at Bryant & Stratton Online Education The practice of using one’s personal email is discouraged as personal email addresses often cannot be identified and are frequently sent to spam folders On 2/Mr [redacted] spoke with Ms [redacted] and sent the email login directions to her personal email account as requested However, Ms [redacted] indicated that she did not agree with the procedure to use her student email to resolve the communication issues Ms [redacted] also indicated that she has emailed various departments with no response Instructor [redacted] , as referenced in the Revdex.com complaint, sent Ms [redacted] an email on 2/regarding her concerns and her advisor has sent four emails thus far for the Winter Semester on: 1/28/2015, 1/28/2015, 2/9/2015, 2/9/and 2/17/(email and phone message) Ms [redacted] has not responded to any of the communication sent to her by advisor We would be more than willing to speak with Ms [redacted] at any time regarding her experience throughout her time at the college Ms [redacted] can contact our office at ###-###-####, [redacted] ***’s extension Mr [redacted] will facilitate further discussions

I am writing in response to your request for information related to complaint number [redacted] Bryant & Stratton College (College) has been educating students since and takes great pride in the personalized service we provide our studentsThe College takes complaints of this nature very seriouslyUnder the governing federal record retention regulations CFR 668.24, the school was required to maintain records of this type for three years from the end of the award year in which the student last attended the institution and as such, we it appears that we no longer have a complete file on this studentWhat we have been able to determine from the records available, is that the student was enrolled in our Online Campus March term and began attending his session one coursesWe are also able to determine that the student was withdrawn from school at the start of his session two courses in May A review of the records available, tell us that the student may have attempted to withdraw from school sometime during session one but it is unclear as to whether or not he intended to withdraw from just his session one courses or from the full termThe balance due on his account is for the tuition charged by the College during the termThe student was provided with a copy of the College Catalog that includes the Tuition Refund Schedule notifying students that all tuition for students residing in New York State is earned in full at week four of the termThis amount was reduced by a minimal amount for students aid earned during his time at the College and calculated using the Title IV student aid calculation rulesAs a sign of good faith, the limited records available, and the age of this debt, the College is willing to forgive the full balance outstanding

I am writing to address the complaint filed by our former studentBryant & Stratton College has been educating students since and takes great pride in the personalized service we provide our studentsThe College takes complaints of this nature very seriously and has addressed this student’s concerns belowIn her complaint, the student asserted that she was alerted to issues with her financial aid caused by an issue with the student’s tax filing status for the tax year that the College was unable to resolveThe student indicated that she was not alerted to the issue until she contacted the College to inquire on the status of her account It was at this time that she was advised of the unresolved issues with her aid tied to her tax filing status, leaving a balance on her accountFinancial aid is tasked by the Department of Education to resolve any conflicting information in a student’s financial aid application prior to allowing Federal funding to pay to a student’s account One conflict that comes up most often is when a married student files taxes using the Head of Household filing status on their IRS tax returnsThere are very limited situations where a married couple may file as anything other than married filing jointly or married filing separatelyThe instances where this is allowed are very specific and the student must be able to document that they meet these conditionsThe campus was correct in not making any financial aid payments for the award year based on the tax year information for which they were unable to resolve the conflict Because we did not follow up with the student on a timely basis to request this additional information, we will take responsibility for this error and eliminate the student’s balance with the College We expect this resolution will meet with the satisfaction of our former student
