So I finally went to court with TUI now called Trident University. Case Dismissed with prejudice I didn't have to pay a cent!!!
Went back to St. John's and in the event financial aid is not approved and no other form of payment is possible courses are dropped to prevent charges at the end of the semester. My lawyer discovered that TUI is not even registered in the State of New York Educ. Dept....... Good luck to all with your online degrees.

I am a tenured business professor at a small Texas university. I have two degrees from TUI University. A MSITM in Business Intelligence and a PhD in Business Administration. My degrees are fully accredited and respected. Both were rigorous and yes, they did not come free. I had to pay tuition and pay it on time. To defer tuition doesn't mean you will qualify for education loans, it simply means you can start school now if you wish and pay later with loan money or your money. If you don't qualify for a loan, it's your money. That is NOT a Rip Off. This is common to all universities that I know of, not just TUI University. I'm not sure how you were able to complete 24 hours of coursework without paying tuition with loan or personal funds? That's awful generous of TUI University and the amount of $4,720 for 24 credit hours is also rather inexpensive in tuition standards. So, I guess I'm having difficulty understanding why you don't think you owe for your tuition after you were found to be unqualified for education loans? Please go to any school in the nation, Harvard or Yale if you wish...ask for a tuition deferral and permission to take 24 credit hours. After you're done and you still don't qualify for an education loan...refuse to pay your tuition. You'll get the same response from Harvard and Yale as you did from TUI University. "Please pay your tuition." My advice? Find out WHY you don't qualify for a education loan. That may be fixable. If not, pay your tuition and get on with your education! It had value in my career and it will in yours as well.

I am not an employee of TUI and I still have great things to say about the school's education.
Your complaint is about your inability and/or unwillingness to pay for your own tuition which is in no way the school's fault.
You don't want to pay your tuition so you want to smear the school's reputation after completing 24 credit hours...... Pay your tuition like every other hard working person who is earning a degree - don't expect it for free! (unless you've earned a good scholarship or someone else is paying for it for you)
You would NOT have been able to complete 24 credit hours without having some form of payment plan or tuition already set up. You signed something saying you were responsible for the payments and you would not be able to continue with another class till an arrangement or financial aid had been set up. I know this first hand because I was a TUI student and guess what..... I paid for my tuition.

Any good reviews about this school are planted by employees!

Sounds like you are mad because TUI wants money owed to them for classes you took with a promissory to pay when your TA was approved. I used this twice with TUI while waiting, but it looks like the difference is that mine finally got approved. I got my MSHS with TUI which is regionally and nationally certified by the same organization that certifies universities such as stanford, USC, UCLA ...etc. I had very challenging courses with them and have been offered many jobs that took my TUI Masters with no questions. Quit soiling this universities good name because you are being pursued for non-payment of tuition.
