Grand Canyon University CGU Academics and Financial Departments -Liars, disorganized, don't care about students- Phoenic, Arizona
Stay away from CGU!!! I made the mistake of enrolling in a masters degree program online. I was told I was going to be given credit for two graduate courses I had taken at another school a few years back.
I submitted my official transcripts form another university and I was assured that I would not need to complete any additional credits. It wasn't until I submitted my graduation application that I was informed I could not graduate because 2 credits had not transferred.
In addition, the financial department messed up my account and one of the courses I had completed at Grand Canyon University actually got deleted from my transcript!!! I had to spend three weeks trying to prove I had take the class.
The financial and academic counselors do not return phone calls, only when they want tuition payment- it's a business and this school does not care about their students.
Do not go to this school!!! There are much better and more organized schools out there. If I had the chance to do it over, I would go somewhere else. And so should you!!!

The student resolution team is not new. Rather, it is a group of haphazard organizational employees put in place by GCU to prevent the ongoing and recurring lawsuits from growing into something they cannot handle (settle out of court for....which they often do). The poster is not unlike many employees at GCU who most likely is monitoring the site and needs to "cover her/his a**" for when his/her supervisor skims the site and reads our complaints lol The school is under constant duress because of the constant turnover of their enrollment counselors (because nobody in their right mind wants to work for them) who suffer at the hands of a turnover rate that isnt surprising.
Turnover at this institution is widespread and growing because of the type of managers and assistant directors they have in place. Nearly all of them have ZERO postsecondary credentials and are in the positions they are in because they have just stuck around for years with no real inner drive to excel or move out of the fruitless capacity they serve in. Pete Martinez, for example who oversees the southeastern division (among others) that you speak of has his hands filled with a director out on maternity leave and an assistant director Ben people call him Gentle Ben because this f*cktard is in the assistant director position because he drank the most beers in his frat and most likely paid his professors to give him a worthless masters from Devry or Argosy or some other random. All the managers kiss his worthless a*s and that translates into poor management because what kind of manager is going to have a good day when Ben is the kind of guy you have to answer to and his sh*tty cubicle job is all you have to aspire to (in some cases) after ten plus years. *Shudder* no wonder you Southwest students are so frustrated. The turnover rate is suffering because the school is filled with worthless, incompetent morons selling a sh*tty product. Good luck with that.

The counselor turnover is suggestive of an unfit work environment.
The counselor assistance to to placate not find solutions.
