With me being an online student, my experience with University of Arizona is the same as when I was with Ashford. It's self-paced, follow along and get the job done. I knew where to find the modules and grades. This is my third degree. I have a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice from Ashford. I got a Bachelor's in Sociology during the switch with Ashford to University of Arizona Global. And my full term master's program in psychology is with Arizona. I've already invited people to the school.

The enrollment process with University of Arizona was straightforward. I got with an advisor and got the application, and then got admitted to a degree plan. I originally enrolled for Criminal Justice and then, I switched over to Health Care Administration. Everything was set up so I never had to deal with setting up a class. Everything was lined up back-to-back so I never had to worry about anything. I finished the bachelor's last year in May and then started the graduate program in October. I'm still attending and I like that it’s on my own time. The only problem I ran into was in this last class, which was one of the harder classes for me. The instructor said she was gonna put more details about what needed to be done in the assignments or the discussions. But she’d never upload it and it would already be Thursday evening. So, a lot of the stuff would be super short notice or we just have to submit stuff how we thought she wanted it.
It was the same with sending emails. I'd send an email the start of the class week on Tuesday or Wednesday. And I wouldn't receive an email until the next week when the assignment was already due three days prior. So some of them do the same thing. I just have to wing it and hope it was up to how she briefly explained what needed to be done, not too much in detail. But other that, I never had any problems with the instructors not communicating right away. So usually, they've all been helpful. I like the flexibility of the schedule. I do a lot of the stuff during the week and then bigger assignments on the weekend. Also, the cost is reasonable. The bachelors is 100% covered by the TA so, it was well worth it.

During enrollment, I spoke with somebody online and they got me all squared away. I completed my bachelor's in May, and it was easy to attend classes and get assignments done. When asking questions to the professors, they were responsive and quick to it, and they really made us dive deeper into subjects to really get a firm understanding of it. Overall, it was a great educational experience. I was looking into getting into a master's degree, but the courses are above tuition assistance, and I didn't wanna come out of pocket. If the school brings down the tuition price for the master's program, I would 100% go to University of Arizona Global Campus without a doubt.

Enrollment was very easy. Also, the online support was helpful, and how fast the professor responded to my question if I need any assistance or questions regarding the subject was good. The professors were great. I already graduated and got a bachelor's certificate online.

The learning experience with University of Arizona was productive. It was at your own pace for the most part, which was nice, and since it was online, it was even better. I could cancel class or take more than one if I needed to and go from there. The professors were all good and I liked them. I’m a single mom with two kids and working full time. So, being able to manage my own schedule is huge. I enjoyed my experience.

The enrollment at the University of Arizona was fast. There were a couple of times I had to take a break because of my mom's health and they would eventually enroll me back in less than a week and say, "Class starts next Monday." They were flexible. The learning experience was challenging, but it was worth it because I see some of the things that were taught to me in my work experience. Everybody on the campus was nice too.

When I got started with University of Arizona, Courtney was my administrator and it was a very easy process. For the classes, everything was done online which was not very beneficial because the instructors did not necessarily make sure all of their material was legible or easy to understand. Also, sometimes, in an online setting, there are hidden buttons that nobody knows about and to this day, I got my bachelor's from the whole thing and I'm sure there are buttons that I still don't know about.
All in all, I didn't appreciate the learning very much because it was like a, "Check the box and go." Each instructor was different on how they graded. Then, if you try and account for the instructor that you previously had, the next instructor didn't like that, but you never had a chance to make up your grade. Aside from that, there was a political class that I took that I did some really outside-the-box thinking, but I got a very poor grade because I did not do it in the spirit of the assignment apparently. I can understand that but at the same time, it was a legit method that I was proving and all of my resources were valid. It was not what the instructor wanted though and I was supposed to be a mind reader.

University Arizona Global Campus changed the name but the classes and the process were still the same. I was already used to knowing where everything was and I thought they were gonna change everything up but that part stayed the same which made it helpful continuing to take the classes online. When I first started doing it, I was active duty at the time, and they only let you take two classes before you had to get the evaluated degree plan. That was taking forever but that was when covid was happening. I kept on emailing and calling the school and they were always saying they were working on it. It never happened. I got somebody else, and they finally got it to me. When I finally got it, I had to send that to the education center, and it took them forever because they were all working from home. It took over almost a month and a half to finally get the degree plan on file so I could start taking classes.
The courses are good. I had no issues with how the courses were done. The time frame was good on when stuff was due. Everything was explained. If I emailed them for anything, they were quick with getting back to me. The material that they gave us had everything. The last class I took was five weeks and I know some other classes are eight weeks. The five weeks duration was convenient. I would recommend University of Arizona Global Campus because it's easy to navigate through and everything is right there on your computer.

The guy during the enrolment was good then it started to get rough. I didn't like the amount of changes. Every time, you get a new person every couple of months. Other than that, it was fine. The teachers and everything else was good especially with the library. I used the tutors and the writing center a lot. It was helpful for doing my papers. I had one professor who gave us his number and talked to us if we had any questions about the assignments. You could always email the professors and they usually get back to you right away. University of Arizona Global taught me better time management.

I would recommend them. It's simple. It's like a routine and you're good to go. I work full-time and I needed something that was obtainable. I like that it was one class at a time, being able to focus on one thing. It was very beneficial with the flexibility and the structure is what I was looking for. They were also understanding of the real world and what goes on out there. Sometimes there were bumps and hurdles, and I would say, "I need an extension for two days.” I graduated in May. However, I really wanted to go back through my school books. I called. I said, "They all disappeared. I don't know what happened." I didn't know that if you did not download it, you lost it after six months of being out of school. That was heartbreaking. They said, "Yeah. With copyright and stuff like that. "

I had a great experience. I wound up finishing my degree with a 4.0 and it was a great college. Everything was written down and explained to a point where I got to give them exactly what they wanted and I got a degree out of it. They have good professors. I had one professor that was really hard as far as the way I thought she graded and the fact that she almost made it seem like it was obvious what she was trying to say when it wasn't. Because I wasn't the only student that was having a difficult time. But she eventually explained herself and I got through it with an A. They also have outstanding advisors. I would normally either call them directly and they assist me that way and/or I would email them and usually get a quick response to any questions I had.

I was a history major and I wanted to accelerate the program with University of Arizona. They were 5 weeks for 15 weeks so I liked the accelerated program. But I switched schools for my next degree because they don't offer the next degree that I wanted and I prefer the seven-week. It gives me a little bit more time. I didn't care for the Science professor. He was the only rigid male teacher that I had. On your own tests, he wanted us to write our name and the date in the corner of the tests. I thought that my writing was illegible so, I used font and he said that was not okay. He didn't accept one of my final projects because all the dates on the test tubes were written in text because I wanted it to be clear. But to him, that looks like I'm falsifying someone else's tests. I was annoyed, so I said that I didn’t expect him to change anything, but for my own integrity, gave him the pictures with the messy writing. But he didn't want anything to do with it.
I barely got a B and I'm an A-student. So, that pissed me off. People should look around, like how quickly they wanna finish. I can't imagine having kids and a job and doing five-week classes. There was so much reading. It would have been impossible. So, for people who have kids and a job, I don't know how they do it. The seven and a half-week programs offered by ASU are much more manageable because there's a lot of time given between assignments, and it's just a little bit more flexible. Their program, for me, is better.

Enrolling with UAGC was smooth. My academic advisor walked me through and did most of the work. There weren't any obstacles going through the online classes. The pace of the school works for me. I enjoy that and I don't feel bombarded or overwhelmed with course material. It's cookie cut between Ashford and University of Arizona. They just use the same platform for making sure that you're in, and then you're doing your class discussions. Most classes have pretty much do a paper every week. If anybody chooses to enroll, I don't think they would have a hard time keeping up with the material and coursework.

University of Arizona Global Campus had the environmental studies degree that I was looking at with a couple of universities that would work with my military schedule. The only negative comment that I have that's negative is the financial department. When I was going, I had some serious issues as far as VA funding and getting things paid for on time. The classes were easy. And most professors were great to work with. There were a couple here and there that had some issues like not following approved accommodations and not giving guidance when asking for clarification on assignments. Just saying, "Oh, look at the materials, you'll figure it out."
Some of the other professors I had for a few courses would go above and beyond in making sure that I understood the material, and interacted with the class, responding to questions that we had, and always made themselves available for emails or phone calls, if needed. And I had a couple of professors that, if I were falling behind, they would reach out to me and make sure everything was okay.

My enrollment experience started with my job. There's a portal through that we get it approved, and I worked with an advisor. They helped me with anything I needed, made sure I got my credits transferred in from my previous schools. As a working professional, it was the perfect type of scenario that I needed. I was able to see my schedule ahead for each course and get my work done when I needed to, being that I work in retail so it's very busy. And the professors, I feel like I went to school in a school setting and not online. And I love the availability of the professors. Some people think, because it's online, that you have a hard time with getting through. But I always found that if I had a question or need a clarity on something, I would be able to email my professors, and they would get back to me in a timely manner. I will go back to do my master's with University of Arizona Global Campus in a month. I look forward to that.

University of Arizona's enrollment process was relatively quick and there wasn't anything super arduous about it. I just presented my transcript. My learning experience was pretty much entirely self-directed. The professors would provide information and answer questions but the majority was reading, and then also mostly writing for all assignments and any graded material. I only ran into about maybe two issues the entire time I was there, and when I did have an issue, I just emailed the professor and everything was addressed promptly. I didn't really have any questions necessarily that I had to ask. I would just reference the textbook. University of Arizona worked well with time. It requires self-discipline to ensure that you complete the material yourself, but it does present an opportunity to get a quality education while also working or with a busy schedule.

The enrolment was very rushed. I don't feel like everything was explained properly and I was a little concerned because when I got my financial aid, the breakdown showed room and board. It's online, how am I getting room and board? They swear they didn't charge me for that, but it showed up on that paperwork. Also, having five-week classes kind of put a strain on people who were full-time parents or employees trying to get everything done within that time frame. There was no type of understanding for that. I also feel that some of the classes were completely unnecessary and more politically motivated than necessary. I don't understand how being a global citizen is a required class when I'm taking health and wellness. I wouldn't recommend them. There is no ill will toward them but there are some things that could have been handled a lot differently.

University of Arizona was Ashford University when I started. It was super easy to get enrolled. They looked at some of my transcripts and ID. We talked about different selections and some things to look at to narrow down what I wanted my degree to be in. The learning experience was perfect.

I wanted to get my Child Development degree and I found Ashford when they were still in Iowa.

When I came back, they changed from Ashford to University of Arizona Global Campus. When I was re-enrolling, they were with me every step of the way. They called every week to see if everything was going smoothly and if I got all my documents. They even helped me file some of the documents that I needed to file to be able to get back in.
Most of the teachers were very helpful if I had questions outside of the class. But there were a couple of teachers I had issues with because they wouldn't get back to me on time, where I almost failed or I barely passed or I had to retake the class. Also, in my Bachelor's program, some of them seemed really lax because most of it was common sense information. But in my Master's program, it's more in-depth and the professors are there. One of my professors even gave us her cell phone number if we had any questions and that was the first time I had any professor give me a cell phone number to contact her.

When I went to Ashford University for my bachelor's degree, it wasn't a good experience. They told me that I was going to be getting a grant and I wouldn't have to pay anything. But every single month, I had to pay money to the school and it equaled up to almost $3,000. I took out a full loan, and I got accepted for the full loan. But the money didn't get applied to the class because I was paying. I kept paying and paying and paying. So I didn't like the experience. I was lied to during the enrollment. So when I went for my master's degree, I told them specifically, “I'm not coming back if I have to pay. You need to be honest about the grants or whatever you're going to give and apply it. I’m not paying.” But it was really difficult work, and then trying to find a school. I was already in one, so I went on and stayed. It wasn't the greatest experience.
The financial aid office at the school was no help. When you call them, they don't answer the phone. If they do answer the phone, they give you information that is not always correct. Future students need to stay on them and make sure they will get whatever they're offered. They should also make sure that they check their financial aid and that everything's applied in the right places.

Before I enrolled in the University, I got my associates here locally, and they didn't have the program for the bachelor's degree. One of the professors encouraged me to go for Ashford, so I ended up enrolling there. The professors that were in my area of study were always really nice as well as on point with everything that they wanted to teach the class and the objectives they wanted us to reach. So, I had a really good experience in learning.
The key to being a successful online student is always being on time with the readings and staying focused on the work that needs to be done, depending on the objective that we were doing. Having the professors really explain to us what needed to be done was also a key point that kept, at least, me on point with what I had to do. I already completed my degree and I wanted to do the walk but it was out of my budget to travel all the way over there.
Something that can be improved is having more scholarships available for students. For example, I am interested in going back for my master’s, but I wouldn't be able to afford it. Even when I was going for my bachelor's degree, the grants only covered about half of it, and after that, I had to pay out of pocket, and it was a little expensive. I was able to get through it, but now that I'm on my own paying a mortgage and being a single parent to my daughter, it's too way out of budget.
Thank you so much for your feedback, Johana. We are so proud of you for accomplishing your goals, and can't wait to see what you do next.

My program went from the University of the Rockies to Ashford before it became Arizona. For the second half of my master's program, I was the only student in my class because of all of the merging. It was a little difficult because I didn't have anyone else to bounce ideas of. Also, because I was the only student, the professors in three out of six classes I had were harder on me than they would have been. That made it difficult but I was still able to push through.
The professors were great with questions and concerns. They were really good about getting back to me as soon as possible through the entire process. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had in my academic years. Going through the master's program was the easiest for me mentally, physically and emotionally. The teacher's and staff worked with me through the process.

I completed my masters there. The enrollment process was pretty easy. I started at the end of December and I was enrolled by January. So it didn't take long at all. I had a great learning experience. The teachers were very helpful. I graduated with a 4.0. It was very informational and beneficial to what I was trying to do. The professors did very well. They had videos uploaded, and they let us know what we were assessing this week. If I emailed and needed additional time or I needed assistance on assignments, they were always there and helpful.

The enrollment process with University of Arizona Global Campus was easy. The advisor reached out to me and asked me what I was looking to do, went over the courses, provided information regarding how the courses are conducted. However, I had five different advisors. I would like to have had fewer advisors and not have to keep repeating information.
Mondays, we had a paper due. And Mondays and Thursdays is when we had assignments too. So on Thursdays, we had to participate in two discussion boards. And we had to respond to two other participants each, so a total of four responses. Those responses were due on Monday, along with the paper that is normally due on Monday. So, it was easy knowing we had designated days on what things were due, so I could work my schedule around that.
The navigation side was okay. The only thing that I would have liked to seen was any time that I needed to submit my grade to my employer, to get my transcript, it was done from the main screen, but that is where you enter the classroom. So, to try to get to that main screen was a bit of a challenge. I would have to fully log out and re-log back in to get to the main screen that comes up before I could go in to the virtual classroom.
I had a good experience with all the professor in terms of them taking their role seriously and trying to educate us. It's just that this one teacher provided more work than the other previous courses that I've experienced. So, I had to adjust my schedule even more to make more time for this additional work that a specific professor was giving the course. I just felt like that one-off experience was somebody took it too seriously. Other than that, the professors that I've encountered throughout the entire process were easy to contact. They all looked to see if something happens like a one-off.

When I was looking at how many credits would transfer over from what I had already accomplished, University of Arizona had given me more than Southern New Hampshire would. I was overseas at the time so that was the hardest part - the time difference. But one of the best things that the university offered to me was the flexibility and being able to work it on my time. DeVry's cycle started on a Monday and ended on a Sunday night. I love that University of Arizona started on a Tuesday and ended on a Monday night. We have families and different things going on, so the weekends get hectic. Being able to wrap up everything on a Monday when I've got more time than on a Sunday night was awesome.
Some of the lower level classes were harder than some of the upper level classes. It was based on the instructor for that course, holding folks to higher standard. You don't know if the instructors are holding other folks accountable, but when you get in and do your discussion posts, you can tell the folks that are into it and have put all the required effort into it, then you've got other folks that just hop on and agree. I took a class but didn't get much out of it. But there are others that I did.

It's a good outlet for somebody like that because you do it on your own time. The way it's geared is more towards someone who didn't go to a regular university and is now playing catch-up after the fact. That's exactly what I was.

If you're out of courses for more than five weeks, it essentially disenrolls you and you have to redo the enrollment process. For people like me who are active duty and we have times when we don't have internet access for a few months, we have to take a break, and it makes the reintegration process much more difficult for us and rather than being able to just schedule once we’re back to where we can do so and pick up where we left off.

I was a student of Ashford before they transferred over. Due to some medical emergency, I missed classes with Ashford, and so they dropped me. But then whenever I went to Arizona Global Campus, they took me right on in and I finished everything. We'll have my graduation online tomorrow. Since I finished my last class, they contacted me periodically. I've spoken with somebody with the alumni association three times already to make sure everything's going and keeping me informed on when the diploma will be sent. There's communication by email as well in regard to the things that can be done. So communication-wise, it stays open after you graduate. They've been wonderful.

My student advisor had been excellent from the very beginning, walking me through because I was scared out of my mind to start back to college. She became a very good friend by the end, supporting me through some personal stuff that I was going through. The classes themselves were very easy to log in to. It was a bit of a challenge to learn and basically what I was doing. But once you got the hang of it, especially after the first course or two, it was boom, you get up, you create your own rhythm, your own schedule of “Here's what I could expect of myself for today”.
A lot of the professors were magnificent. Most of the coursework was extremely challenging. But I liked that, because it felt like I was getting my money's worth. The University's library was heaven sent to me. I would take whatever was expected for a paper that I had to write or whatever work I had to do and go, "Well, that's interesting. But let's see what the library's got." I dive in and I would crank out above and beyond what the professor would want from me in that particular assignment. So I got way more out of it. I enjoyed all of that part.
Most of my peers in the class were really great. When we would turn in our assignments that were submitted for the entire class, and everybody could comment on it, it was collegiate for the most part. There were very good conversations back and forth so that we could each learn. One of the things that I truly enjoyed about the classroom experiences was that because of my age, I would have all this information plus experiences that some of the stuff that we were learning in the classroom. I was there when the space shuttle launched for the first time ever, and explained when the Challenger exploded and how that affected me. That was such a cool experience to be able to share that with younger generations who were with me. I loved my experience.

I looked into Arizona Global and a couple of other schools that were strictly online. It came down to WGU and Arizona Global. I went with Arizona because WGU let you work at your own pace, which is fine for some. But for me, I'm a very disciplined person, but I really wanted that accountability of not being on my own and having a set schedule. Also, WGU does proctored exams and I didn't like that because sometimes I would need to do schoolwork at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. I didn't want to have to worry about a proctor not being available. So Arizona Global fits better for my lifestyle. Another thing that sold me was that my company takes part in the corporate full tuition grant. I didn't have to pay any money out of pocket. The experience alone was really great.
The classes were spread out. As far as the work, it was spread out well enough that I could get it done while also working. All of my instructors were very engaged. I learned from the program itself. The only thing is the way it's set up because there are no breaks unless you schedule the break, except for Christmas. For me, I was able to navigate it okay. But I could definitely see that as a challenge for some. So it might be good to have like one day break or a weekend break between classes.

University of Arizona Global did a great job. The staff did a good job of getting back to me and responding quickly to my questions. Being an active-duty military, I get a TA stipend of $4,500 a year to go to school and then, I can use my GI Bill if that runs out, which I max out every year. I transferred over to TA because it replenishes every October 1st. I told UAGC that my TA was back and I submitted a TA request to them for my final few courses and my capstone But then, they pulled my GI Bill. So, they’re pulling both funds. I don't even know where that TA money went. Now, I'm fighting with the VA to try to get that back. I don't know if it's on the VA or the UAGC side of the house. Since I'm active duty, I obviously don't get a housing stipend while active duty. I just use the funds solely for the schooling.
I don't know if there's a miscommunication between the VA and UAGC, but for some reason, the VA started to give me a textbook stipend. The military grant already included that in it. I was getting textbook stipends for months and the VA sent me a bill for $400 and it didn't make any sense. I was getting a textbook stipend when they know that they should be communicating with the VA. Now, I owe the VA money. The actual education and the course itself with UAGC were awesome.

Being naïve and out of the game, I didn't know anything about college. I was just so confused. Fortunately, both of the academic advisors were really helpful and they didn't force me to do anything. All I needed to was fill out the forms that they would send to me. They were on the phone with me when they sent me the form. They walked me through step by step, what blocks I needed to sign, and what each block meant. They gave me the time to read if I wanted to, which I did. I could call them at any time.
I had a wonderful experience with the university. They changed my life. I focused hard on applying myself academically.

My previous employer had an agreement with Ashford. My employer pays the 5,250 that we get reimbursed through work. Ashford wrote it off as a grant. The way that Ashford manages that program isn't based on a fiscal year. It isn't even based on a calendar year or even semesters. They based it on when you started taking classes the very first time. For me, that was in March. Because of that, the 5,250 my employer paid in a calendar year did not line up with what Ashford was trying to do. My second class of 2021, they started coming at me for payments for these classes. I told them that my employer already paid the last year for all of this stuff. They said, "No, that doesn't apply because of the way that we do the timing." I had to call back four times because people were getting pissed off and wouldn't explain to me what was happening. They just kept telling me I owed money.
I had to drop out of my class and wait until January of this year so that my employer could give me the 5,250 again to finish the two classes I had left. It was a bunch of nonsense. It was nine months that I had to sit here and wait. It happened another time but this time was the worst. I took classes for over three years and I finished in April.

They were gonna pay for it all. I had to pay for it first then my company reimbursed me right away. There were a few courses that were really annoying. I knew I would have to take courses and that they were not all going to be fun. That was okay. But you take a course that was a waste of time and money that says, "These are the things that you need to do." It was one of the 100 classes and it was a nothing class.
The professors were very good. I liked the survey at the end of the class that they would not read until after I got all my grades. There were a few that were a little annoying but there was one, in particular, that was very worldly. He spent his summers in Switzerland with his three kids and he would go on and on about this when he could have just said he was going to be running a little late grading papers. All of us can't go and do all of these wonderfully worldly things. He was very knowledgeable but he was not professional. The other thing about him is he's too busy to give feedback on anything. There were a lot of papers and most of the professors gave very good feedback.
There were only five-week classes so in the second week, you would make a small paper and the professors would give you feedback on it. This was all building up to your final paper for that entire class. I could still use some of these same references and that was great. I ended up with a 3.97. My other issue was with the ethics and moral reasoning class. I am a conservative Christian and I was forced to disregard anything that I was thinking and pretend to write good papers. I quoted a simple proverb from the Bible and I had it referenced. It came back with, "Don't be quoting the Bible. Don't use the Bible. It's not a scholarly reference." I had a problem after that and that was really early on.
There was one thing that was really annoying and it took me hours up because it was always during work time that I had to deal with it. When I first started with this university, it was the end of April. I had to submit payments for each class until it added up to 5,250. When the next year started, you had to add it up to 5,250, do your reimbursements and then the rest of it would kick in. I did this three years in a row. On the second year, I found out in April that there was an overpayment.
First, they sent this big whoop dee doo thing saying I made it to the Dean's list. Two weeks later, all of my classes that had been scheduled for me disappeared. I was told it was because I haven't paid. I told them that I sent in reimbursements for last year and I started in January of the year. They said that January was still the previous academic year. They said, "Your academic year was from April through March of the next year." So first, I was overpaid then it took hours and lots of emails and more hours. It took more than a year of fighting.
When I finally got done towards the end, they said, "You need to make sure you have a zero balance or you can't graduate." They said I still owed $1,530. But I didn't. I was reprimanded. They said, "You're not supposed to do it that way. You were supposed to pay this and this and this. Now, we have to go through and itemize it." Nobody explained that the academic year started the month that you started. That was the worst.
In the end, I said, "Fine. Here's the $1,530. I just want to graduate. I'm sick and tired of this. I don't want to spend hours." They had somebody review it and eventually, they came back and said, "You're overpaid by 1,530." Most of the financial people were very nice but they were just sorting through things manually. At this age, I was keeping it on a spreadsheet and I knew what I had paid.
I completed the program on April 18. I finished three years. When I was 18, I joined the Navy because I wanted to get my education. Little by little, I did. It's taken 40 years. On the whole, there are things that can be improved upon. But I would recommend the University of AZ Global because that was the way that I finally got this goal accomplished. I told other people here at work, "Go there. But let me tell you, your academic years start whenever you started."

Enrolling with University of Arizona was very easy, and it happened very quickly, which was good and bad. I wasn't expecting it, but I was enrolled in a class in a week and a half. There were a lot of courses that I absolutely did not need at all, but had to take. The major course requirements, I really enjoyed all of those classes. They were very interesting. It was for the major, so everyone in the class was on the same page. With the other classes, everything I said, I'd have to explain myself, why I'm saying it and because it's my major and somehow related into the discussion.
The classwork was spaced out nicely. The students have more than enough time in between due dates to do everything, and the professors were good. I had some that would post video discussions. They would record themselves and respond, but I've also had some that would just grade it and be done. No comments. It was easy grading for them. I emailed the professor when I had questions, but other than that, I just pushed through it. I never kept in contact with my peers. We had to do responses, and it had to be three sentences. Most of them were like, "Good job. I liked how you said this. Maybe say this," and that was the end of it. Everyone was just trying to get done.
University of Arizona is portrayed online and on ads as being affordable, and it wasn't. At one point, I was a year in and they said I owed $7,000. I had no idea how I owed that, but I ended up paying some of it, because I had to have under a certain amount in order for me to continue taking classes. When I finished in May, I got an email saying I had a balance of over $4,000. I paid some of it, and that was that. I've been saving up for that. Nobody told me that I got a grant in May as well. I don't know why I don't get email notifications from them anymore, but I found out I had a grant and it took care of most of that money.
One of the most stressful things throughout the whole program was money, because I didn't realize how expensive it was. I'd recommend University of Arizona to people, but the first thing I would say would be about the money that randomly appeared. No one knew where it was coming from. Financial aid should have covered that, and I shouldn't have had to pay anything. I did research, and I'm not the only student that happened to.
