Catrina, I am one of the financial advisors for school and I wanted to let you know that as long as you don't fail, withdraw, or receive an incomplete for class, the student loans will cover the cost of class. You will be responsible for books, but you should be fine. The balance in the account summary is usually in accurate. When a student takes a break in between blocks, the disbursements are thrown off a little bit but pay no mind to the balance. Also, the letters are auto-generated , all you have to do is advise the financial advisor to 're-code' you status to 'current' since you will be getting monies in Hope this helps

Ok, so my academic counselor finally called me and he said it should be all worked out and to go online to the campus and sign in and it would show me that my balance was fixed. So, I did this and sure enough, he was right, they had fixed it to show I owed nothing. However, 3 days later, I went back to check, and now it shows I owe almost $2000.00. So, they claimed to have fixed the problem, and now, all of a sudden, I owe again. Everytime I talk to someone from there, I get the complete run around. I have been told the "student load" has been quite heavy on them and that is why phone calls have not been returned. I was also told that there were emails sent to me, which I never recieved. I have read all the other reports on this site, and right now, I am kicking myself in the kiester for not reading them before I started this joke of a college. EVERY complaint I have read relates to my experience with them. I have 5 children and I can't afford college without student loans. These people don't care, they will take your money and run. Have I recieved a phone call back regarding the new account statement showing I owe again? OF COURSE NOT! How ridiculous!!! I am done, and I am now going to try and find a college that I can transfer my credits to and get out of this mess!!!!

Hello Brian, All is well now. My academic counselor contacted me finally and they corrected the problem. They think the 3 week gap in my classes is what caused it. Thanks for the offer to help resolve the problem.
