Kaplan University Financial Aid fort lauderdale, Internet
I attended Kaplan University just short of 2yrs ago. I was going for Medical Transcription. I was about to get my associate's of applied science degree when all of a sudden they blocked me from classes. I was doing my externship (8wks) and they said that I was blocked for not logging into my classes. Once that was all straightened out and I was re-enrolled they sent me a bill for almost $1800 and said that my student loans would not cover my last class because I wasn't enrolled in enough credit hours. Well I was before they blocked me from my classes. I logged in all the time because I had to send time sheets to my instructor for the class so there was no way that I didn't log in within the specified amount of time. Needless to say I don't have my degree even though I finished my courses. They said that they will give me my degree as soon as I pay them the $1800 in full. I don't have that kind of money and that's why I got student loans and a pell grant. I talked to someone else that was also in one of my classes and they did the same thing to her, but she did pay whatever they said she owed and got her degree. It took me a year and a half to find employment doing medical transcription because I didn't have my degree in hand but I found someone who was willing to accept the paperwork that I have from them showing that I completed my courses. I had also applied to go to the graduation ceremony in Chicago after I finished and they said that they never got my enrollment form. Well I still have the email that I sent them to show that it indeed was sent and before the deadline at that. I had already paid for my cap, gown, and tassel before all this happened so now I have a cap and gown in my closet that will never get used and am out another $60 on top of the over $20,000 in student loans that I have to pay back for a degree that they won't give me. I have read over some of the other reports on here and am sick to my stomach to think that they have done this to several people and we are all paying for them being scammers. I think a class action lawsuit should be started!
