Ashford has some major truth in advertising problems in their admissions department I have been working with one person in particular as an admission counselor who has continually used information to mislead me and sway me into enrolling in the school While I understand that the admissions department of any college has the singular goal of enrolling as many students as possible, it should NEVER be done dishonestly During my interaction with MrAndrew T***, the following occurred: 1- He told me the school was a non-profit college, which is entirely untrue - He told me that with an Associate's Degree from any accredited institution, regardless of the area of study, I would be able to transfer in at a Junior's status and take two years to complete my bachelor's degree When I submitted my transcripts for review, the school only granted me half of the credits he promised me would transfer - Upon completion of my FAFSA, he called to inform me that I had 600% of my Pell Grant available for use and that I was eligible to use the full amount of $5,per year while enrolled in college This was a blatant lie, as I later discovered I am not eligible for even a partial Pell Grant - He told me I could test beyond, or write an essay for any class if I felt I had the knowledge base for a fee of $ While this was mostly true, though it is not possible for any class, he neglected to inform me that I would still have to take the full number of credits in order to receive a degree He also told me that the essays would accumulate those same credits, which is not true I am extremely grateful that I did my research and took my time instead of giving into the pressure tactics he tried to use in order to get me to enroll in the school, but I caution anyone looking at going back to college to avoid Ashford University completely!
I graduated from this University in July They are holding my transcripts and degree because of a billing error that they causedI withdrew from a class, in the correct amount of time, and now they are saying I did not and want me to pay an additional dollars for this classI had already paid for a class because they stated I had plagiarized a paperI had shown that the system picks up on quotes, that I had correctly sited, and that I did not plagiarizeThe appeal process was useless and I had to take out a loan to pay for the class againNow they are stating I owe an additional dollars and will not release my transcripts or degreeI used the transcripts to be reimbursed, through my job, and recoup some of the money I have to pay outI now cannot get the reimbursement and I need the money as I am a single mother and I have to count every cent
This university refused to accept payment for an outstanding balance based on that fact that I would not speak with [redacted] a community specialist with Ashford UniversityIn my opinion this is a fraudulent charge & the university has no valid premise for it's actionsI was told I could pay it then that I could notThey sent the charges to a third party collection agency were it can accrue interestIn want the university to forget the balance and restore my eligibility
Ashford will steal your money! They will convince you and tell you what you want to hearAll I wanted was a degree to obtain a better job and they used that to their advantageThey only want your money and will wait until you have already invested years of your time to surprise you with an outstanding balance of thousands of dollars that accumulated over the yearsYes, the charges appear out of the blueI was told it was technology fees and other charges that the student loans did not cover$8,895! really?! Something needs to be done, education is not a business!
I have attended a few on campus and electronic universities throughout my college careerAshford University is by far the most unprofessional, unorganized, unresponsive and unwilling to take accountabilityAlthough I am very grateful I was able to attend an online school to further my graduate education, if I would have been warned ahead of time I would have chosen a different university Please save yourself the extra stress and research your other options before deciding on this last resort online learning environment that Ashford calls a university
