While attempting to transfer from one University of Phoenix location to another, I was told by 12 different employees of the University of Phoenix that Cara Willis (military transfer personnel) is the sole person who handles transfers of servicemembers. For months, I have not received a return phone call or email response from Ms. Willis. Does she even exist? Why can't anyone else handle the transfer?

A lawsuit filed in October against the University of Phoenix for religious discrimination. Go to the 17th Judicial Circuit in Broward County Florida and search case# 10040467. This will tell you the truth about these people and this university!

I have been with the university of phoenix since march 2010 and i got my first disbursement and now i am into my 3rd set of classes and and I have not receieved another disbursement and they keep telling they are stil working on the 2009 2010 finacail aid I feel like I am getting the run around from them who can i contact about this becasue they keep telling me at the end of the month well now it is october and i am being told at the end of yhis month i thnk it is ridiculous

I was thinking of University of Phoenix at one point. The man I was assigned to was either very ignorant as to what is really going on with the workplace or he was just flat out lying. I told the recruiter (I know it is called enrollment counselor or adviser but really, come on, they act like recruiters) that I wanted to work in health care. I said I would like to be a nurse later down the line but I understand that you have to go a traditional school setting to get those clinical hours and such.

Well, the recruiter just said, "Well, we have health care administration you could do that. Get a mix of administrative work (where I have experience) and the medical field." I said fine, just let me do my research on the field and I will get back to you. I went ahead looked on-line found out that in order to be successful in that career you need a bachelors degree or you just work as an administrative assistant without a degree at all get a decent pay check. It took me a couple of days to look at the whole picture and the recruiter just would not stop calling my house and leaving messages. He would sometimes call 3 times in one hour.

I told the recruiter what information I had found and then he started to get angry with me. He said, "Well, if you want to work a MINIMUM WAGE job and keep living the life you live then go ahead don't go to college. And just settle for LESS!" I explained to him that I would just really like to be a nurse later and this education was more of a filler. I have a house, a husband, a luxury car, dog, and child all by the age 22. I have what others go to college to just to get to that point. This is more to keep me from being bored during the day (I am a homemaker) so the nursing thing can wait. So I will wait.

Then he responded, "You said you got a 3.2 GPA in high school? Um, yeah not possible to be a nurse. You need a 3.7 or higher." I had done my research again not true. Minimum is 2.0 or in some cases 2.5GPA, if he had said, you need a 3.7 to increase your chances into getting into a nursing program that would have made more sense, but he did not. I called him out and presented the facts and he said, "Well what if you and your husband get a divorce? Then what? You will be stuck doing NOTHING with no EDUCATION with no JOB and a DIVORCED SINGLE WOMAN and regretting you didn't sign up for college!" Isn't that a tad out of line?

I responded back telling him that what he was saying was really unprofessional and quite frankly you can count me out of ever considering UOP. I took my email off their list for generic enrollment dates and he called me at 11pm to ask if I still wanted to enroll in UOP. Based on that incidence and I wasn't even a student, Iam forever greatful that UOP's and the recuriters true colors showed before it was too late.

I had a and am having a bad experience with The University of Phoenix, that seems never to end. I enrolled in courses apx. 2 years ago; and had to drop the courses due to a serious illness. That's when the U of P run a round begun. Several of U of P advisors told me to "see how, it goes, give it another try" this before you drop courses, and stonewalled me into dropping my course in time to receive a full refund. And even in the final response letter to the incident. The University, notes: "He stated that his reason for withdrawing was "work responsibilities". I attempted to withdrawal from my classes, E-mailing and leaving voice mail message for my U of P financial advisor, with no answer, until he called me to put me in collections...
