DeVry University Missing credits and no financial aide assistance Columbus Ohio
I have been a victim of the DeVry web. Last tri I went to schedule my classes knowign that I was a junior and they put up that I was a freshman until the grades came out - mind you tw weeks into the trimester before that happened. They never saved the last scheduling system and now they have iuntroduced a new system that doesn't work properly yet. I also was missing 20 credit hours on teh system and they kept trying to get me ina a class that I took like the second tri I was there. I will be in debt till I"m 50 I swear.
I'm kinda upset about the next thing and I sometimes cry about it. I"m sorry.:) they had me fill out a special circumstance form and miay I add that I never hear from the FA office until they need soimehting from me. So I filled out the forms and stuff because both of my parents have pretty much had to stop workign at this time because of health issues. I don't even know why I wasted my time because it didn't help. instead of havign my parents poay like $50 a month it jumped up to 975 per month.
It really got to my mom- who even though she is retired is tryign to send me to college and give me what she couldn't have. I was so angry about it. The only reason I'm going to wait it out is because I have already invested enough time and money to start all over again at another University.
About the prof.being incompetant.-I know that they have been doign a lot of budget cuts and stuff. But on my capus they fired this one prof. because students thought his class was too hard and they dropped out and some even dropped out of the school altogether. THey can't have any of that !!! I admit there is one or two bad eggs but all of the prof. THat I have had so far are all very intelligent and they create real world applications to everythign they teach us. I'm sorry for the others that have bad profw. Mine have been great.
But the financial aide sucks. THey don't try to help you. And the tuition raises every year . I sit by the mailbox and wait for the increase letter.
If someone knows of anyway to help me please let me know
thanks

College in general has a low graduation rate

Even the best colleges in the country have a graduation rate between 40 and 50%. DeVry, i think, is at 38% which is vastly better than AIU, University of Phoenix, Kaplan, and CTU. When you say that 23 people in your class dropped out, that means that 20 others didn't. That is a remarkable feat.

You graduated from high school? Who are "they"? Do you have any names of people at DeVry that you worked with? When did you have your appointment with the Dean?
