Complaint Review: Northwestern International University

On the 23rd of December 2003 I applied to study with this institution, knowing that it was a non-traditional institution, and paid U.S. $100.00 application fee. Three weeks later I had not yet received any correspondence from them, so I decided to email them to see whether or not they had received my application. I then received an email from a Dr Jay Wise stating 'did you get the letter we sent you'.

I emailed this person stating that I had not, and that I was concerned with the lack of correspondence from this University. That email had been returned to me, since then I have not received anything. Since then I have sent over 20 emails to them and 2 faxes, still to no avail. I have also begun my own investigation and have attempted to track the so-called faculty from the numerous institutions that are advertised with this University. Still to no avail.

I have studied with non-traditional Universities for over 15 years and have never experienced any difficulties until now. Fortunately I have been lucky, however, I do feel that it is my duty as a concerned student to others to be wary of this so-called University.
