Disaster
August 26, 2011
This school sucks. It hires people that manipulate you into school loans you can't afford (nor will ever pay back). Therefore, it makes you go broke and bankrupt. Then, after the federal government has lost its loan money paying University of Hell (I mean Phoenix), I got to take classes that were an absolute JOKE, with IDIOTS that should have never gone to college in the first place. This school is the downfall of education, ...

Misleading Enrollment Information
January 23, 2011
I enrolled in the University to obtain an endorsement in Instructional Leadership. After verifying with the state department of education that the University had an approved program, and speaking with 3 different counselors, I decided that the price and time requirements were perfect for me. Only after completing the courses did I find out the University would not complete the paperwork that I needed for the state. After several thousand dollars and months of phone ...

Illegal disbursement of Direct student Loans

I am in the final stage of completing the master's degree program at UOP, and this is the first time I have experienced an issue with UOP financial aid department. I am performing my student teaching (which means that I needed to quit my job in order to complete), and for the first time ever, UOP is holding up my funds. I have gotten the run around all summer long, have received all types of ...

You Get Out Of It What You Put Into It
August 3, 2010
I graduated from UOP in 2005 with an MAEd. I found that the quality of education really depended upon what I put into it. I was no slacker, and I worked for my As. My husband is a veteran teacher who graduated from a reputable institution, and he found the class expectations to be in line with his experience. I had quite a few PHENOMENAL teachers that I remember to this day. I had teachers ...

Won't recommend it... won't return!
June 2, 2007
Just graduated and I am still working on a complaint I had against an instructor almost 4 months ago. Many instructors are quite helpful, but there are quite a few who aren't and unfortunately those FEW really affect your experience! -I was out having a child that came early and an extension WAS NOT GRANTED. Offered doctors not and everything. Still nothing. Most of the time the instructor just simply ignored me. If I had ...

High Rater's are all LIARS
May 9, 2007
I'll sum it real simply: 1. Poor communication: -Teachers were very unwilling to help me out with assignments, and/or didn't not post their "help" until after the assignment was due. -They don't negotiate or give you an extension on homework even if your on a business trip (oh the counsellors and or syllabus will say so, but don't expect that to happen) -I've had 2 different finance counselors and only found out about 2nd one ...

MAED, E-Education
April 25, 2007
I found the majority of the faculty to be exceptional, professional faculty. Many of the faculty taught at other esteemed colleges and universities and were published professional educators. Any faculty issues I did encounter, I know I would have encountered far more at ground campus'. I would never have had the opportunity to meet such wonderful and professional fellow students as I did with UOPHX. I did not have any other qualified options to complete ...
