ITT Technical Institute ITT Tech Holding degree, mistreatment, discrimination Fort Lauderdale, Florida
ITT Technical Institute has been very nasty to me. My graduation was supposed to be September 17, 2009 and it is now pushed to December 2009. Please read story below:
When I was attending ITT Tech, everything bad occured in my very last semester out there. During my Microeconomics class on August 20, 2009, the Registrar comes get me and tells me to see her after class. When I get to the Registrar's office, she tells me that the school does not have a copy of my high school diploma on file.
According to policy, my high school information should have been kept on file ever since I enrolled. So, I gave the Registrar my high school contact information and she tells me that as soon as she receives the copy of my high school diploma, I will squared away for graduation. The very next day, she sends me an email and asks me to meet her in her office. She tells me that the school should have never accepted me because I did not have a high school diploma. I graduated from high school with a Certificate of Completion because I did not pass the FCAT Reading. Everything else was done. When I enrolled at the school, the Registrar never told me that a high school diploma was required to attend this school.
So, the Registrar suggests that I register for the GED Test through the Broward County School Board. The test costs $70. The big problem was the fact that test registrations were on hold that week because the following week was the first week of school. That week was Teacher Preparation Week.
A very good friend of mine at school helped me look for a school that was doing test registrations. The same day, I went to the school and registered for the test. I quickly returned to school and let the Registrar make copies of the test registration papers. She then tells me again that I am clear for graduation.
Next week, during Final Exams week, she comes pull me out of class again to tell me that I cannot graduate and that I need to push the testing date to an earlier date. I then explain to her that the School Board is in charge of the date of all tests and I cannot change the date of testing. So, she tells me that she will try to get me to test earlier. Unfortunately, she could not change the testing date and I still had to take the test on that date.
After all of this, the Campus Director searches the entire school looking for me. When she finds me, she fusses me out and reassures to me that I will not graduate. So, I try to transfer to another school to finish my studies. Therefore, I ask the Registrar to write a letter for me; stating that I have completed all of my courses. She refused to write the letter for me and all of my classes got dropped at the other school because of her.
On top of all of this, ITT Tech charges me with a Temp Credit balance of $10,000 and I have to pay $146 a month for 72 months just to pay that off. This does not include the loans that I took out for the school. Could someone please help me find a good attorney to fight my case?
Thanks so much.

"When I enrolled at the school, the Registrar never told me that a high school diploma was required to attend this school."
Of the list of admissions requirements for ITT Tech, the very first one is :
Have a high school diploma, G.E.D., or equivalent
Are you saying you never bothered to look at the entrance requirements before you applied for admission?
