Kaplan University Online Education-Based in Davenport, IA Deceptive, misleading, liars, thieves, abusive and bait and switch Davenport , Iowa
I have been an online student at Kaplan University since December of 2009. I enrolled in their Advanced Start Law and Legal Studies Program, and Andre Buckner, who is not longer there, enrolled me, and took care of my transfer of credits from my Associate's Degree from Newbury College in Boston, MA.
Promised I would get a 1000.00 tuition credit voucher when I arrived at my last semester. That never happened, called the school, they say "no record" of it, filed a grievance and they never even answered it. Well besides slipshod internet educational platform with all of its technical difficulties, I perservered. I enrolled each semester, and was told exactly what I needed to take, went down the roster with Lets see, mmm John Blakeley first academic advisor, a few others, ( there were a few, so I cannot remember, place is like a revolving door), and finally, Sheree Ali in the legal studies academic advising department.
Last semester, I went down the roster, and we went over the fact that I had taken every required course, other than my Capstone, and one additional course to complete my credits. Along the line I might add, I was ill advised before that and took two courses that I did not even need to take, but was advised they were prerequisites, turns out they werent. So, more money out of my pocket and right into Kaplan's pocket. Well, I just completed my final semester, after a four month mind bending agonizing Fafsa audit, where I kept submitting all the required paperwork, and they kept telling me that it was incorrect). I looked at my roster the other day, and it said completed on every course, and pending on my two final courses. I got an email from Sheree Ali today telling me it was time to register for classes. I told her I was done. I called academic advising, and they told me no I was not because my Math and English courses taken for my Associates did not meet the educational criteria of the school, and that if I did not take them, I would not graduate. These were required all along. So at the end of my program, they suddenly discover this??
I was in tears, talked to Tabia Hubbard (where do they find these people, at Labor Ready??? She told me that I was incorrectly enrolled and incorrectly advised, and that she was sorry for the inconvenience and that she would submit a waiver of these courses to the Dean, but it was highly unlikely that a waiver would be granted. She then said she would accellerate the process, and "see what she could do" about the cost of these courses. I have worked so hard to maintain an almost 4.0 average and these people are just out to screw you out of as much money as they can. I was so upset, and why out of the blue are these courses suddenly on my roster after I was told that I would be completing my degree now?? All of a sudden, oh we made a mistake were sorry but essentially tough sh*t or you will not graduate. I have written to the Dean because they would not give me a phone number for him.
I have been legally wronged, purposely deceived, lied to, harrased, and misled. Legally they owed me a duty to make sure that I took all the required courses, and they breached that duty. They have caused me nothing but money and mental anguish, therefore causation and damages as a result of their negligence. I want Kaplan University to pay for what they did to me legally and monetarily, so that they will nevet be able to pull this on anyone else. They certainly are not going to pull this on me and get away with it. I was at the top of my class in legal studies, so who do they think they are dealing with? Someone as stupid as the idiots they pick out of the dumpster to work there? STAY AWAY from KAPLAN UNIVERSITY! Do not suffer the anguish I have had to endure. If anyone is interested in filing a class action suit, I would be more than happy to enjoin. These people have to be stopped from their thievery once and for all!! Sign me TOTALLY PISSED!!
