The University of Arizona Global Campus Reviews

Some classes at UAGC, because they’re online, are difficult. Sometimes, the instructions weren't super clear. But overall, it’s positive, but it's varying levels of positive.

The quality of the professors, I'll say B minus.

The learning experience was good and challenging. Challenging just because you have the outside elements and the discipline of managing your own schedule, and trying to make sure you get working on the due dates. But it was challenging, just as it should be for a college experience.

And what contributed to my success was their flexibility. I gotta travel for work. So, you can take breaks in between classes if you need to. And it really caters more to a working adult life. But that’s also what contributed to the many years it took for me to finish my program. And as challenging as it was, the flexibility of the schedule between classes really made a difference.

Enrollment was easy, and the learning experience was very new and easy. I’d like to thank them for allowing me to earn my bachelor’s degree. That was well-appreciated. I would recommend to anyone who’s trying to upstart a career that’s working and has a livelihood going on. It’s amazing because they work, and you wanna go to school.

Enrollment was pretty straightforward. I went online, selected my major, and then I just filled out the letter of credit for the class, sent it off, and I was on board. It’s been great. No problem. I get my work done on time and everything seems to be going pretty smooth. The advisor is there to help me whenever I need and the textbooks are straightforward, and simple to obtain. I don't have any complaints.

One of my biggest takeaways is how easy the transition was from UAGC to Purdue Global and the functionality of the discussion boards, the access to the material, the library, my advisor. Reaching out to my advisor is easy. Nothing's really been difficult.

My experience was quick and easy. There were no issues with the enrollment process. It doesn’t cost anything for military members, though I can’t speak for non-military students, but I would say everyone is extremely friendly and kind. They listen and they’re very efficient in getting the enrollment process started, making sure I can get enrolled quickly.

I worked with them for my bachelor’s degree and I’m about to finish my master’s. Throughout, I’ve never had issues with any advisers, financial, academic, or enrollment. They’re all extremely pleasant. I know most by name, including my enrollment adviser, Courtney, whose professionalism and calm, genuine demeanor stand out.

Online schooling is difficult, not because of the school, but because balancing one class at a time with a full-time job and being a full-time parent is challenging. It takes a lot of commitment.

After completing the paperwork. I found the process was a bit challenging at first. But after a while, it was fine and pretty easy. I just tried to get the courses on track with what I needed to do, and forwarded the paperwork to our administration department to get the tuition reimbursement completed.

The learning experience was great. The instructions were very detailed because everything was strictly online. It was the way the instructors provided their requirements, what they expected out of you, and how to get to each of the courses was self-explanatory and very easy. The instructors were great. I liked it.

I wanted to pursue getting my master’s and I reached out five different times, left messages, and never received a response. I would have been done already. I was disappointed in that. My employer does reimburse for the master’s program. I was like, that’s fine. That was basically my biggest takeaway.

I’ve said several times to my colleagues to not hesitate to enroll at The University of Arizona Global Campus, and they've done it.

Enrollment was very simple. The learning experience was great, but It was very expensive. It was a six-week class. I took 12 courses, six weeks, and it took me about a year and a half. It was pretty quick, but the work was pretty extensive. I had to type like four-page papers each week. I forget what my major project was, but we all had a major project at the end of each class.

The professors were all great. Helpful and very responsive as well. I learned a lot from UAGC. It was just a new experience for me, but I learned. I wish that I would be able to go to Arizona instead of doing it online, but it was a great opportunity.

I enjoyed the school. During my bachelor’s program, I didn’t receive as much information as I did in my master’s program, which may have been due to the advisor I had. My master’s advisor had been there for years and was very knowledgeable. During that time, I was diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder, and she was very helpful at getting me the information about that.

Before that, I had already been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. My previous advisors didn’t provide information about available support, so I would take breaks when I needed time to manage everything. I didn’t realize there was an accommodations program where I could get extensions or extra time if needed.

I was able to find that information later, but it would have helped sooner. I ended up failing a class and had to take a two-month break for my mental health because I wasn’t turning in my papers on time. I’d definitely suggest they do a better job of sharing available resources and letting students know what support is out there.

I know they have many contracts with employers in the military. If we qualify for it that year, we can take as many classes as we want. It benefited me during my bachelor’s program, I was able to take back-to-back classes and finish in under a year. I’d definitely share that experience.

The class availability was great, and the fact that they provided the books was even better. I didn’t have to pay out of pocket. I’d also recommend it for the resources they provide, like access to Grammarly and Microsoft.

Even after you leave, they offer a career coach, which I believe is available for a lifetime. I’ve been unemployed, so I’ve been reaching out, and the advisor has been helping me with my resume.

My recent experience with them was great, but I think it was more on the third-party people that were facilitating the enrollment between Southwest Gas Corporation and University of Arizona Global Campus. It’s great now because they changed the vendor. Before that, it was a worse experience. It was awful.

The is most recent experience was 100% better than the first. Actually, looking at the courses and finding classes, that was all a good experience.

My learning experience has been good too. Once you learn the format, it's great. Working through Canvas, the materials, the ease of getting in and maneuvering. It's more of a learning process, but once you learn, it was great.

The professors are awesome. They're very accommodating, very helpful, and very understanding about people like myself that are in a career, trying to get an education and meeting deadlines. Being able to work with U of A has been good.

I wish I knew their names, but a lot of the instructors were awesome, which I think they make the program. That was good. Recently, my last five classes now charge for – they pay for tuition. The way it was advertised in the beginning, it was a full grant. Now we have to pay for materials. I think it's $300 or $600. Better than $2200, but that was just a little different. It does add up. Now I have a $3,000 bill I need to pay.

My biggest takeaway is that just because learning is at home doesn't make it superior—I would prefer being in an actual classroom. Some instructors weren't supportive; I had instances where I couldn't make up work despite having valid reasons like a doctor's note, which led to failing certain classes. In some cases, strict policies left no room for exceptions.

My professors were terrible. They would never offer any help or if you had problems with an assignment, they pretty much told you, “Oh, well.” If you turned in assignments late due to stuff being down on the website, they were not accommodating. I had to pay extra fees to graduate. I feel like that should have been covered under my tuition and fees instead of me having to pay out of my pocket.

Even after I graduated and received my diploma, I still have never received a job for what my degree was for. I received no help from the university. All they told me was just to sign up for a Handshake app, but half the jobs on there are bogus, like they want you to do selling or marketing. They have some legit jobs but they’re all across the country.

The learning experience was impressive for an online course. They provided military students like me with all the necessary books and materials for free. I started with minimal computer knowledge, and now, with my IT degree, I feel confident enough to start a career in IT, though I acknowledge there's still more to learn on the job.

The quality of professors was mostly above average. While some were just about the basics and detached, most provided good support. This was my first college experience, and I would rate it a 5, as the 5-week course structure allowed me to finish in about three years, starting in 2019 and completing it in 2022.

Regarding the course load, it was well-managed. It picked up during my major courses, requiring more time as I was learning new concepts. Although at times I felt overwhelmed, especially during computer programming parts, it wasn't due to the school but my background.

I didn't typically reach out to professors for help, though they were responsive when I needed clarification on assignments. For additional support, I utilized tutor.com, which the school provided.

I heard about the University of Arizona Global Campus when it was Ashford, through my military peers, and I've recommended them to several friends, especially those in the military, as it fits well with their schedules. Overall, my experience was positive, and I love the experience I had at the University of Arizona Global Campus.

The enrollment process was straightforward. Despite my apprehensions, especially since I was visually impaired and had challenges in English, the transition was smooth. The state of Oregon provided essential computer tools, and Ashford ensured my textbooks were available in audio format, aiding my study. Balancing my studies with effective time management, I surprisingly made it to the dean's list, graduated with honors, and even joined honor societies.

Post-graduation, encouragement from an instructor led me to pursue two master's degrees: one in Organizational Management and the other in Human Resource Management. Although urged to consider a doctorate, I felt content with my accomplishments. The entire academic experience was positive due to the support and resources provided by Ashford and the University of Arizona Global Campus.

My only negative experience was with an instructor I felt wasn't very helpful, a sentiment shared by peers. However, overall, the university provided a wealth of support, especially online resources like the writing center. I became part of CHAMPS, assisting undergrads who faced challenges, often arising from initial struggles with time management and locating resources on the website. Despite that, I found their online platform very effective. I wholeheartedly recommend distance learning at the University of Arizona Global Campus for anyone considering it.

However, when I decided to pursue a master's degree, the experience was different. The program felt rushed, and the teachings didn't align well with the readings or lectures, which didn't suit my learning style at that time. Despite this, I still recommend the university, especially for bachelor's degree seekers. I've already told friends and family about its flexible approach, helpful advisors, and great resources. The university understands life’s unpredictability and works to support students’ success. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 4 out of 5 stars.

She instructed me to email submissions to her instead of posting them on the classroom board, which eventually led to my unintended withdrawal from the class. The registrar said I was not attending, despite having emails proving my compliance with the professor's directives. After appealing to the dean, I was reinstated, but it was a stressful ordeal.

Later, I received a call claiming I owed the university a significant sum for withdrawing, even though my withdrawal was due to their mishandling. Now, I'm unable to obtain my transcripts, making my degree unusable. Despite efforts to resolve the situation, I've been met with unreturned calls and dead ends.

This experience has been infuriating, as I now have a Master's in Public Health that I can't use. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend the University of Arizona Global to anyone.

There was also inconsistency regarding APA 5 versus APA 7 guidelines, which often left me unsure about the correct requirements. One significant feedback I have is regarding the University's previous association with Ashford. Since my bachelor's degree is from Ashford before the takeover, I've had companies tell me that they don't view Ashford as an actual school. When I apply, they don't acknowledge that I have a bachelor's degree.

The university has been incredibly convenient, allowing me to meet deadlines even when deployed, and they offer good support through financial aid. However, I've had some minor issues with a few professors who make spelling errors when correcting my work, which is a bit frustrating. Despite this, I truly love the school and appreciate the understanding and flexibility it offers.
