This guy has paid the money which he probably did not owe, I have seen nothing but bad reports on this school. Well guess what I am a current student, and I had a little talk with one of your academic advisors, when he first contacted me to join the school, he came across to me like a punk. Even though he appeared nice on the phone, I could tell in his voice he has probably had a few confrontations with other students. To make the long story short, I am enrolled currently in Associates of Arts/Information Technology. All of the assignments consist of writing, and when I called the advisor out on this subject he began to elevate his voice, and well I elevated my voice, I told him when I go for a job interview, the interviewer is going to have one main question, Do I have C++ or A++ certification, and when I tell him no out the door I go. I asked the academic advisor will I ever take exams for my classes, this man says,"We feel that testing with multiple choice, or short answer testing will not get the student anywhere." Wow I was beyond shocked, because when high school students get ready for college they take ACT/SAT to see what level they will start at college. These classes mean nothing at this point, I am going to get out while I am ahead, and I am sure they will say I owe money. If they do this they will be explaining to CNN, or MSNBC on why this school has very bad ratings. Every consumer website I have been on are nothing but bad reports, I have never seen so many reports in my life, and 95% of the reports are bad news. The positive reports are isolated at best, and it is probably students that are now teaching in that horrific organization. This needs to be stopped. These for profit online schools prey on poor people, and it hurts an already crippled government. It is institutions like this, is why the government is hurting. I want to hear the response of UOP with their lackluster solutions on solving copious amounts of problems they do not seem to care about.
