The University of Arizona Global Campus Reviews

Whenever I was choosing an online school, Ashford was one of the ones that popped up first and I just read about it. I put my information in there then I had Jarred call back, and he got me in there within that phone call. So far, each one of the professors had been available, like if I’ve had any questions or if I’ve sent any emails, they always sent one back pretty quickly and answered my questions. They were pretty lenient as far as whenever we had the shelter-in-place and I couldn’t get to my work. They were understanding. The quality of the courses was pretty good too and I had to use my brain.

A representative came to my work and discussed Ashford University. I’m pretty busy, and I liked the ability to work at my own pace on some of that. They had people walk me through the enrollment, especially over the phone and everything. It turned out pretty easy.

I got my Master’s in Organizational Management specialization in Project Management. in Ashford. It went quickly. The classes were good. If I had any issue, I reached out to my teachers or my advisor and it was solved. I was going through a lot like I was pregnant and had a little baby, and my teachers worked with me and were helpful. I was pleased and enjoyed my time there.

I had a good advisor. He really helped me through some things especially with relocating. The professors were pretty fair in grading. And the course material got a little tough, you just gotta do what you can and get the stuff finished. It just was a hassle with professors who took a little time to get back to you when you had a question, especially in accelerated class. They say they're available, but then it seems like it's hard to get ahold of them or get a response in a timely manner to meet obligations.

I’m working full time ‘cause I’m in the military. Then I was taking one course from Ashford University every five weeks. I enrolled with Ashford because of the ease of the courses and also the five-week courses were very manageable with my work schedule. The enrollment was perfect. I had an adviser that would call me and make sure everything was good, especially with my first couple of months of going through Ashford. He would always call or send me an email to check on things until I got used to the course schedules and things like that.

My mom graduated through Ashford University and she recommended it. I like the fact that it was all online. Their enrollment process was easy, and my learning experience was adequate. Most of the professors were good. I had a few of them that would use cut-and-paste answers for everybody, but most of them were involved. If you were looking for a school that you were able to attend all online and didn't completely take all your time away from family and work, then Ashford would be the way to go.

The experience was great at Ashford but they could improve the consistency of the APA standard across the board. When they changed in the middle of my degree program, some of the teachers were using the previous version and some wanted the new version. There was a lot of confusion and I had to ask a lot of questions on what they wanted because it wasn’t clear across the board.

The enrollment at Ashford was a smooth process from bachelor’s on to master’s, that’s why I chose to go ahead and do my master’s there too. The courses are really laid out well. They give you time to go ahead and you could prepare for that following week. The staff did real well. If I had a question, I could email them and they would get back to me in a timely fashion. They all seemed to be very helpful.

I looked at what a lot of other people were saying about the courses offered and what Ashford did offer. I went to an actual physical university before in Virginia and they didn't offer social sciences. Ashford did, and it made it a lot easier whenever I moved to the States. I was able to transfer everything to Ashford, and Ashford had what I wanted to major, and also the courses were reviewed very well.

I was looking for an online program and somebody who was WSCUC accredited and I like the format from Ashford University. The enrollment process was easy and the professors were great. I had a good experience with Ashford University and I was really glad that I was able to earn my degree there.

The learning experience and the professors from Ashford University were mostly good. Even though they have a rubric to follow, some people's perception of what the rubric is saying versus another person is a subjective thing. But overall, it was fine. The enrollment process was pretty easy. Also I'm military. So, it was free. It was great. All is well.

I had finished my associate’s degree and I was looking for a four-year university, and someone that was in my unit said that I should look into Ashford University, that they are good university, and that the materials come along with class. So, I did my research and I did not look back after that. The school covered my science lab and they mailed it to me. So, that was a good thing knowing that I did not have to pay out-of-pocket for my science lab and books. The learning experience was great, too. One thing that I admired about my instructors was that they would respond in a timely manner. Not only that, they did not make you feel like they were just giving you the work and making you do it. They would engage in the discussion boards and ask questions to make you think outside of the box.

I googled the best online colleges. Ashford University was number one. The enrollment was great, and they're very helpful. Learning with them has been good so far. It's been easy to navigate the courses. My professor's awesome. She was so understanding and was there whenever I needed her.

Being from the military, what stood out to me there was how well Ashford was able to switch around my schedules. They were able to start and stop my classes when I go PDY, PCSing or NCOA. Plus, My advisors at Ashford were very communicative. I could tell my teachers and instructors if I had an issue and needed to extend. They were more than happy to extend me a few days so I could get what I needed to get done but not get penalized for it.

My professors at Ashford challenged me. However, there were some which didn't get back to me on certain things. So, I had to figure those things out for myself. Also, I was going through my father's death at the time and I wanted to take at least a month off. Ashford's people advised that I don't do that because it was like dropping a class. Still, the rest of the professors made things a friendly atmosphere. So far, I've recommended two miltary-affiliated people to Ashford. The only drawback there is the price. Even though they give military discounts, it's still pricey compared to other universities.

The first advisor who helped me get set up with Ashford University was the biggest help. She was from enrollment or admission and her help was what got me into Ashford. During enrollment, everything went smoothly and I was able to find everything electronically. Being with Ashford had its ups and downs. It was very convenient for me 'cause I work a full-time job and I also had a daughter in school. On the other hand, there was no personal communication from the instructors unless I needed help. There weren't any video calls either.

My husband started school with Ashford, so I decided to go through them too. They were helpful during the enrollment and they assigned me to a mentor, so the process was easy and simple. They sent the links to fill out, I sent them back, and they mostly did it for me. I followed what programs they put me in. You have to stay on top of the work because it is extremely quick-paced.

Ashford University's enrollment was easy and quick. I was amazed. I like that you can work from home and that you have the advisers that keep you up on your academic ability. I also like the curriculum and the program. The professors were very professional and knowledgeable. I love the way they interact with the students. And their critique was absolutely wonderful. I’ve taken away a lot of knowledge from the courses that I’ve taken.

Ashford's tuition is fairly high compared to other online universities. When I was trying to get a private loan, a lot of banks and credit unions had not heard of Ashford or they did not have a partnership with them per se. Luckily, I have rich parents and they were able to give me the money for the last two years, and that was how I was able to pay for Ashford. Unfortunately, if you’re somebody like me who ran out financial aid and doesn’t have that option, you really have no other options than to stop going altogether. I just wish they had options for scholarship with Ashford and the way in which you go about getting private loans. But that would be the biggest change they need to make. But other than that, everything went fairly well.

When I tried an institution and went with the University of Phoenix, I didn't care for it. Then, when I tried Ashford, I liked the educational experience there. It was my first experience with an online degree program. It was challenging and interactive, and I enjoyed the process. It was very easy to navigate through the website. I appreciate the ease of use of the electronic platform and the consistency of my learning process. Apart from the difference in learning material, it didn't vary from class to class. I knew what to expect from class to class and it was easy to keep up with. I learned a lot.

I went with Ashford mainly due to the accessibility of online school. Their enrollment was a fairly easy process. So far, learning with them is going pretty well. I’m getting really good feedback from my instructors, and my last two classes, they’re very interactive in the classrooms. The quality of the professors is really good especially my last course for Information Technology. He’s very knowledgeable. So far, my experience is great. I’m a full-time working mom and wife, and having the ability to go online to further my education has made it much easier. I’m rocking a 4.0 GPA on top of all that.

I got all my transcripts and diploma. Everything is done. It was a good experience. The response from professors sometimes were not great and some of them were a little bit faster on the email. Sometimes, it was kind of delayed. I understand they were busy. But sometimes, when you need an advice or prompts, it's good to have it in a timely manner. This was my first experience online and I liked it. It's good when you have people face-to-face sometimes and you can read the expressions and you can understand better some other stuff. There were some moments and some ideas that were more challenging but I liked it.

The Ashford professors I've worked with have all been super friendly and informative. I've run into a few personal issues a couple of times but all of them seem to be very understanding. They also generally return everything on time. Some of the courses I've taken are easier than others, but they have all been good. But a walkthrough for the library would have really helped me out in the beginning. It wasn't until later in my courses that I took a research class and the initial assignments were books. I said that I was gonna figure out how to actually use a library. It became a lot easier to use after that. Other than that, it is set up pretty well and as long as you’re on time, you'd do quite well.

One of my friends who went to Ashford told me about the school. I did some research and I liked what I found. The reviews were good. The enrollment process was very easy, even though I was kinda skeptical and nervous about doing online. The person I got was exceptionally wonderful and steered me to the right direction so I had no qualms afterward.

I was a University of the Rockies transfer student. Ashford was the parent company that bought up the University of the Rockies so my program got shifted over to them. At that point, it was very late in my academic career. My advisers were chosen under the University of the Rockies. I don’t know exactly when the official transfer went over but it was when I was doing maybe my thesis writing. The dissertation was pretty much all done under Ashford University officially but I didn't really notice any change because I had already set up my committee at that time.

My husband attended Ashford and he had gotten his associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree and master’s through them. I also had gotten my associate’s degree through Ashford and then I hopped right into getting my bachelor’s degree through them as well. I went for early childhood education. The enrollment process was was simple and the learning experience was great. The professors were very helpful, quick and responsive to anything I needed help with or any questions that I had.

Learning-wise, it was a lot easier to complete the courses. I already knew what I wanted to do and I was already halfway with my degree anyway, so I knew what courses I needed to take. Other than trying to get ahold of advisers, there was not a whole lot of negatives.

I’ve gone to Ashford University periodically and when I started in late 2012, it was convenient, being in the military. It was also easier. The learning experience was pretty relaxed. Everything was structured well. the course layout with the dashboard I’ve used through other programs in the military before was laid out very similarly. The instructors were adequate. But there were a couple of times when I felt that their involvement might not have been very great. Everything was graded and posted, however, at times assignments would be graded a week late and the grade posted late. But for tuition assistance purposes, Ashford University was good. It was minimal to no out-of-pocket cost to me. Now, as I’ve kind of matured academically, I have started to look at Master’s programs and I can see that there is not going to be any type of graduate degrees to them. It’s not gonna be financially feasible for me.

In our company, Ashford is one of the schools that normally go here for education fair. I went with them because of the course. They offered a master’s setting we did, and I wanted something that was international. The enrollment, however, was horrible. I wanted to cancel the process because the first enrollment advisor with it did not give me the complete information that I needed because I graduated from a foreign school. And so, like at the very onset, I already knew I had different requirements. And I asked what I needed. On the same day that I was supposed to start my classes, he said, “You can't go into your class because you're missing this documentation.” But, he did not tell me that. I had to make arrangements. I graduated 30 years ago from college, and they were wanting all the certifications about language. If they have told me that two weeks ago, I would have met it.

I needed something online because I was in the military. A co-worker told me about Ashford and their program worked with my schedule. I took up Early Childhood Education and learning with them was really enjoyable. The professors were really good and high quality. All in all, Ashford is a great school and I would recommend that people should at least look into them. They have a lot of different things to offer and they are really willing to work with anyone.

I had a friend who went to Ashford University and she really likes it. So, I also enrolled with them and it was easy. I took up Bachelor's in Education and the instructors were pretty good. I liked most of them.

When I was taking my CDA in Florida, the girl who had done the CDA recommended me to go to Ashford University. I went off the recommendation and the benefits for the military -- because of my husband being in the military, I got a great tuition discount. Everything was easy. My enrollment specialist at the time was amazing. From the start of the program, I never had any issues with it. Everybody, including the professors, was always very accommodating. The only time I had any issues was with the very first class that I took. Nevertheless, it was great for me who worked a full-time job. I was finishing my degree as a formality, so it would have been hard to be a traditional student. It was an accelerated class and Ashford offered flexibility with regard to doing one class at a time. I got through everything fast, and the content was always relevant. I have already graduated.

I was in active duty a couple of years ago and a lot of my friends were going to Ashford. So, that’s where I chose to go, too. And when I got out of the military, I continued to go to the school. Primarily, I went with Ashford because the compressed five-week schedule seemed good for me. Since I was in full-time active duty, I wasn’t one of the guys who had the availability to go sit in the classroom. So, being able to study independently and study at home after my kids went to bed made life easy for me.

I love Ashford. I got my bachelor’s and my master’s from there and I recommend this school to anyone.

I enrolled at Ashford a few times because I took a few classes and then took a break and took a few more. They gave me a lot of credits for my military service and training. The advisers were knowledgeable. And because it's all online, there was a lot of writing because you had to write the discussions. The professors seemed to really know what they were talking about and most of them seemed pretty passionate about their teaching too, so that was nice. Some people complained that the instructors were not flexible with turning in stuff late when things happened, but I never experienced that. I always had an easy time communicating with the professors if I had any problem.

I was looking to complete my degree and I work full time. I’m married and I have a child, so I was looking for an online educational experience. I started web surfing and looking at the different programs that were available for working individuals for completing their degrees. I looked at several and the program with Ashford really fit my needs the best.

I saw Ashford's website and I read all the reviews. I figured I'd give it a try because any school wasn't working for me and my family. It was really easy to do and all the schoolwork was very easy to understand. And if I didn’t understand something, the teachers were easily accessible. I plan on working with Ashford again to get my masters.

I did a search on the web about military discounts and online colleges. I chose Ashford because of the tuition and it was a really good program that they offered for military spouses. The enrollment process was pretty easy and everyone who I dealt with was really helpful. Also, for a working adult, the learning experience was great and it was really valuable to my profession. All the professors that I had were really approachable. They are really knowledgeable about the courses that they were teaching and they did a really good job.

The enrolment with Ashford was very easy and very quick. The staff was all very good and very professional. Everybody knew what they were doing. Also, the instructors responded on time, in a good time especially for an online school. I did a degree in History and attending Ashford was convenient. The classes were very fast and made it very easy for me being on a military schedule. Between deployments and everything, I was able to get the schooling done and continue going to work without many issues.

Ashford University accepted my military benefits and had five-week courses. Moreover, it was all online. I finished my bachelor’s on February 3rd and I really liked that it was all self-paced. I don’t like being told what to do and I like the structure. I like being given a task and told to do my own research, come up with my own conclusion, and online learning. I love Ashford University. It's fantastic. I've never failed a class online. But when I went to an actual school when I was around 19, I failed three classes just because I didn't like being in a classroom setting.

I chose Ashford because of the online convenience thing and the length of the courses. The enrollment was very easy. I like that I didn't have to go and get all of my transcripts on my own. I remember signing a form consenting for the registrar to get my transcripts for me and that made it so much easier. Also, the learning experience is good.

I was first at Rockies but they didn't have a program that I liked so I switched over to Ashford. The staff at Ashford was cool. Once everything got rolling, it was pretty seamless. I got a Masters of Science.

I filled out something on some website that I was interested in going back to college and I ended up getting calls from five different universities. Ashford was the first one to call me. I enrolled with them and that was was easy. I had a lot of transfer credits and they were really easy to get in contact with concerning all the classes that I needed to get transferred. At first, some didn't apply towards my credit but I challenged it and they ended up taking more than they first approved. That was a really easy process and they were super easy to communicate with. It was really good.

I googled Ashford to find some schools online to see if it would fit me being able to work and also still be able to do school online. What led me to go with them were the initial people that I spoke with. Any time that I called, I got all my questions answered, and they went over and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was comfortable. They also helped me along the way with what I needed to get done. From the ambience in the office, everybody there were willing to do whatever it was needed to help me achieve my goal of getting my degree.

When it came time for me to start college, I looked at a bunch of different online colleges. I went on a bunch of different websites that went over different details. I wanted to find a college that was fully online and that was one class at a time schedule. I came across Ashford pretty early on and I compared it with a bunch of other ones. Ashford had the best prices and it had everything I cared about, so it was my first choice. The enrollment was pretty easy. A lot of the processes were really good and everything was pretty straightforward. Also, the advisors were available when I needed help and every one I've ever had has been very helpful.

The person I was working with at the time was going to Ashford and she said that it was a good school to go to. I also enrolled with them for about two years and I was able to finish organizational management. Their rep, Mark, was very helpful and he was a pretty good counselor at the time being that I had no college experience or how things were or how they should be. My interactions with their staff went very smoothly, too. Being in the military, whenever I needed further assistance or I couldn’t make a deadline because I had some type of movement, they were always there and willing to help in anyway they could.

Ashford University worked well with the military and our schedule. Plus, the classes were more for our pace and quicker to get things done. When I enrolled with them, the process was pretty smooth and it didn’t take very long. And the instructors seemed very well-qualified, whether it be academic or job experience or both. I ended up with a degree in accounting and I liked the five weeks length course. I also liked that you didn’t have to just drag your course out. You can just get everything done and start with the next course.

When I went to school, I had checked some colleges and I decided to go to Ashford. I liked the way they did their online course. The enrolment was done very easily and explainable. Everything was great. Everybody was extremely helpful. They made everything available that was needed. If I didn’t understand something, they went out of their way to explain it. They make sure I understood it. And they always made sure when things were changing, they let me knew way ahead of time. They kept me up on dates, like if I had some papers that I didn’t file correctly, they got on it really fast, let me know and guided me through. I liked the fact that it didn’t interfere with my work, my job, and my personal life. Everything fits right in perfectly. So, the whole learning experience after, especially with my bachelor’s, was so wonderful, that I decided to go for my master’s in criminal justice with them as well.

I was watching TV and an ad came up. I was getting ready to change over to a part-time job and I told my husband that maybe I should try going to school online. He said that might be something I could do with a part-time job. So, I started researching and I liked Ashford. The enrollment was easy. I called them and started talking to individuals because I didn't know where to go or if my GPA in high school mattered. I didn't have that great of a GPA in high school so I was worried about that affecting it and they assured me that it did not. Before I knew it, I was enrolled in Ashford. I had really great professors and instructors. There was only one that I felt like wasn't that great of an instructor and I mentioned it to my student adviser at the time. I made a C in that class and I couldn't figure out why because I was putting in a lot of effort. My effort has never waned or faltered during the entire time.

My daughter got a degree of BA in Library Science in Ashford. To get to college classes when they had them and where they had them was difficult tied into when my daughter was working also. So she chose to go online. She was in the online school for two years and it went well. She was absolutely thrilled with it.

I like the convenience of Ashford being online. I had some good professors. I liked that they participated, got you involved in the class and taught you a lot. The only thing I didn’t like was that I was misled thinking that with the alumni tuition, it was every third class that would be covered under the grant. The financial end of it was not clear. It was upsetting to me because I was not anticipating the full amount and I had to pay for it all on my own. I had to take out loans so now, I’m close to $60,000 in debt. It was only that one time and it wasn’t every third class, and that’s not right. Other than that, the teachers, professors and the requirements were all good.

I got an MBA at Ashford University. It was the first online school that I've attended, but everything went smoothly. Most of the enrollment was already kind of pre-done, coming through work, so my part of it was simple. The professors were responsive and helpful. I didn't think that they would be, given that it was online.

So, I have attended Ashford since 2016, and I am 12 credits shy of graduating. And Ashford was wonderful, as long as everything was going well. Spoiler alert: Life happens. Part way through I contacted them because my sister was about to undergo brain surgery and my aunt had just been diagnosed with cancer. They gave me an LOA and said, "Come back when you're ready." That went okay. Then half a year later I was close to failing a class. Keep in mind that up until this point I had been on the Dean's list every time without fail. I get really good grades. When I communicated with the school that I was being verbally attacked by my boss, my best friend, and my family and that it was feeding into my depression making me suicidal, they recommended I drop the course and file for a second LOA. I did. But I am not rich and filed for a credit reimbursement at their recommendation. Which they refused.

They were awesome. They were responsive and super quick. If you have any questions, they are always there to answer them. Anytime you needed help, they were 100% there for you. You had all the support you needed. Not that they ever handed out extensions, but if you needed one, they were super understandable.

I attended Ashford to get my associates degree in early childhood education. I was a single mother of 3, trying to better myself, not only for myself but for my children as well. Don’t fall for anything they tell you, I have my associates degree, but can’t do anything with it in New York unless I further my education. Now, there’s NO way I can do that because for the 2 years that I took online classes, it cost me $35,000, as a single mother of 3. Now I am having my tax refund taken away because I can’t afford to pay $500 a month for my student loan payment. Stay away from these rip-offs.

I got my bachelor's degree in supply chain management at Ashford University. It was a pretty good program. It's been all-encompassing. I was originally looking for an online university that could work with my schedule because I worked 60 hours a week and the way that the structure of the classes were set up at Ashford, having one class every five weeks, worked a lot better with my schedule. However, I couldn't get some of the textbooks on my phone. It was depending on what service they used and there were three or four different ones. That made studying a little bit harder. I also had to be very self-motivating to make sure that I get all the stuff done without somebody looking over your shoulder. But still, it was a pretty good experience. The professors were very good too.

I graduated from Ashford University's business school and got an organizational management degree. The enrollment was very simple. The admission rep that worked with me was very friendly, personable, hands-on, and answered all the questions I had. It was easy to access the staff if I had any questions about anything. I enjoyed the online experience. It worked for my schedule and I enjoyed the process. The courses were very self-explanatory. The professors were very good at keeping everything interactive and engaging.

My employer offers reimbursement on certain degrees through different universities and Ashford University was one of the university choices. They also offered the program and the start time that I wanted. Some of the professors there were better than others. Some of them kept up-to-date and provided current questions and current literature. Others were asking us the questions about when the Affordable Care Act would come into effect next year, which clearly was 10 years old, and they hadn't modified their questions in that time frame.

Ashford University was one of the first ones I looked at and it had the degrees I was looking for. I had three through Ashford - business administration, accounting, and business information systems. Enrollment was really easy. I like the flexibility of being able to do a class when I have time to. They're online. For the most part, the professors were all friendly and helpful. I had a couple that I had issues with. I had to get ahold of supervisors, and so, we got the issues worked out.

My military spouse sister told me she was going back to school, which was five-week courses, and she was doing pretty well at it. So, I figured I’d give it a shot. Enrolling was amazing. I still remember the person that helped me. His name was Tyler. He was very responsive, quick with the emails, answered all my questions. The only downside that I had was it was not until I was about three-quarters of the way into my degree that I was informed I needed to take an extra class to conform to the upper division rule. But other than that, everything was great.

One of my supervisors told me about Ashford. I was transferring from a different university, and when I heard about Ashford, I just stuck with it. The enrollment was easy. And then, I liked the scheduling and all of the instructors I had were very flexible with everything and very cooperative. I finished with a master’s in healthcare administration.

I had a coworker that was attending Ashford. Once he told me about it, I enrolled and got going. The military adviser who initially got me enrolled was really good and made things easy, but my student advisers after that were hard to get ahold of or unresponsive in general. It was twice that I requested a new student adviser because I had so many issues with them and for the most part, Ashford changed it over pretty quickly.

I enrolled with Ashford University over my lunch break and it was really easy. I didn't have to have any letters of recommendation. And when I called to ask my questions, the gentleman talked me through it and we were done in about half an hour. They were the only non-Christian online college that offered the program I was looking for. The learning experience varies from class to class, but it was very in-depth and involved. I learned quite a bit that I've been able to apply to everyday life and more that I'll be able to apply in my career. But some professors were more personable and actionable than others. There were quite a few who weren't very big on feedback or responding to students' questions or concerns and there were others who were amazing to work with.

I’m in the military and with my family life, Ashford was the best option. Enrollment was smooth. The professors were very professional. They were very well-knowledged in the area that they are teaching and were able to provide good feedback and critique based on our discussion, assignments, and our papers. The only thing that I couldn’t have any control with was once I enrolled into my last class recently, my degree would not be mailed out until Tuition Assistance paid off the remainder of the balance. That was just more of a nuisance thing because I didn’t need it because I got approved with my unofficial transcript. But other than that, everything went better than I expected.

I heard about Ashford from another person I work with in the military and I also have already told several people to sign up with them. I went there mainly because I didn’t have to buy books. Out of the four times I had to enroll and re-enroll, the process is simple. The learning experience was typical of online college depending on the gap between when the last time I took the class and relearning it. And it wasn’t that bad. Like any other school, the professors change. Some professors were easy to deal with and some of them were difficult, which is reflected in the feedback within the course.

Enrolling at Ashford moved really quickly. I took up a bunch of courses. It was for my MBA. The staff was horrible though. They were completely useless. You’re given the material, and there was no instruction given for the majority of stuff. So, it was very much self-paced and I felt like the teacher was fixed, just a checked box on a grade, and that’s it. I liked that it was online. If I had to have paid for it, I would have never paid my own money to go there. There should be more integration with teamwork and team building. Understanding that it’s fully online, but with the emergence of technology and video and stuff like that, it’s something that could definitely be utilized. And I don’t understand how much the teachers get paid, but they’re overpaid. They just copy and paste the same thing in every class over and over again.

My employer provided me a list of schools and Ashford is one of the school that affiliate with my employer that I got tuition reimbursement for. For career advancement, I enrolled there and the process was smooth. The staff was helpful and the whole process went along the way very smoothly. My learning experience was great as well. It went with my schedule accordingly because I work full-time as well as go to school full-time. So, learning online is very convenient and it’s very effective as well because of the learning program that Ashford is giving out. The engagement between professor and students are very on point also.

Ashford was pretty good for the most part. I liked how quick the classes were. I didn’t have to worry about the GI Bill process. They took care of everything. However, it’s like nothing really tested my knowledge with my classes. They want us to read the book, to teach ourselves, and every week we just write a paper for about 4 to 5 pages and then anywhere from a 10 to a 20-page at the end. That was a little bit too much. I could have written my paper on anything, and technically, I wouldn’t even have to open up the textbook to write it. I could have completed my whole degree and not know one thing because of that. Sometimes it was beneficial. I liked knowing when the paper’s due so I was able to work my schedule. But then there should have been some kind of test.

My brother and my sister are both Ashford graduates. And since I'm in the military, feasibility led me to choose Ashford. I heard that the online program was fast and efficient, which attracted me. With my job schedule, it was in my best interest to choose that program. With the military, the enrollment was simple. It was guaranteed money for them. It was free money and we military tend not to turn that type of stuff down.

I had two friends who went through Ashford, and I liked their system of being online. When I contacted them, they got back to me soon and they were really great about helping me with everything. So, it was a smooth transition to go back to school. The online learning materials were 100% easy to navigate and I love it. My professors were always so easy for me to get a hold of and I could email them. If I had questions about assignments, which I’m more of a perfectionist so I did have questions, they all got back to me and give me perfect feedback so I was able to fix or change or do whatever I needed to do. It was great and I learned so much. Everything was easy ‘cause I was also able to access all the materials on my phone.

I heard about Ashford through another student and before I registered, I went to a couple of different schools to see what kind of learning environment was best for me. My husband loved going to University of Phoenix ‘cause one could work more in groups, but that's not my cup of tea. Ashford seemed to be the absolute best for me because everything was online. I didn’t have to worry about going into a class. And the differences were an interesting thing. The teachers were fantastic and 95% of them were incredible. I had one or two that if I could’ve reached through the phone, I would have. But we worked it out through the staff. And I would just email them multiple times saying, “Hey, I’ve asked for this, I’ve requested this, still haven’t heard back. Can you help me out?” And then by the end of the class, they had. But that was a very small percentage.

I was looking for an online college and I found good reviews for Ashford when it comes to how they provide for the military. The enrollment was super simple as I asked for help and they took care of most of it. It was very quick. They even helped me negotiate with the VA to get my GI Bill set up and started. The advisors in the program were good too. They would usually respond within 48 hours if I have a question, which wasn't very often.

The qualifications to start the program led me to choose Ashford University. Their enrollment process was easy and the professors were above average. Online courses are really interesting. There's always so much you can do. I had a long journey with them as I took my time with it. I didn't enjoy it very much, but the experience was as good as it could possibly get for being an online environment.

I really enjoyed going with Ashford. It was easy to sign up. Once I get into the classes, it was easy to use. The classes were challenging. But overall, it was a really good experience. It was the first online school that I ever attended. So, it was a new experience for me, and I thought that it was well put together. The only thing is that I had one class where they kinda changed the format of the class and how the structure of the class was laid out. And even though I still did well in the class, it wasn't as easy for me to follow the new model as it was with all the other classes that I took. And that's just due to me working full time. I have three children, too.

I first heard about Ashford in 2008 when I was shopping online for an online higher education program. They were one of three that I had researched. And then, I had a very long conversation with one of their student advisors. That convinced me that Ashford would be a good niche for me. The enrollment was seamless, and getting into the program and into the routine of it was a good fit for me. I got my B.A., my M.A., and my PhD there.

Everything was great with Ashford, including the tutors and the instructors. But there was one course that even when the instructor made corrections and I told her if she could tell me what it was that I was doing wrong, and she even tried highlighting something, it didn’t make sense to me at all when she changed the grade. I felt she didn’t think that the work was mine. I tried the hardest for her because of how hard she graded, and no matter how hard I did it, it just didn’t please her. But it was just that one instructor.

I graduated in 2006 as one of the first graduates with a master's in teaching and learning with technology at Ashford University. I found the institution was everything I was looking for in an online university. Helpful advisers, (thank you, Josh), counselors, knowledgeable financial aid department, caring professors, and a wonderful administration. (Thank you, provost, Dr. Elisabeth **). As for the master's program, I was enrolled, all the courses are tailored for the working adult, and geared towards the newest trend in educational technologies, teaching and learning with technology. After completing the degree I advanced in my career immediately. I am a teacher, and a career advisory. If students ask about advancing their education I tell them about the positive experiences I have had with Ashford University. Matter of fact, one of my former students received her BA at Ashford and now is enrolled in their Master's program.

I didn't know about Ashford at all until they reached to me through a job site that asked if they could send out my information to a few college to further my education. After getting a call from a number that read as "unknown," I met an advisor I really connected with. She seems genuine and interested in me as a person and how to further my education. I already have my Freshman year completed and I've been looking for a cheap but quality way to complete my degree. After sharing the details of the phone call with my parents, my dad encouraged me to look up reviews of the college. A HUGE thank you to the people that have posted here. It seems like if I'm looking for cheap, this is not the place for me. Very glad I checked before going forward.

I started researching online colleges, and they were one of the first ones to pop up and one of the first people to respond. In the beginning, I worked with the Veteran Affair person there and she knew the GI Bill and how it works. So she was able to inform me better on what I could expect starting out in college and got rid of some of my apprehensions about jumping into something I couldn’t afford.

I must say that for the past few years I was an Ashford University fan. I did my bachelor's and Masters's degree at this University. So, I thought why not go for the gusto and obtain my Doctorate as well. So, I spoke to my admissions advisor and explained what my thoughts were in getting my Doctorate. I explained that eventually, I wanted to work with people in counseling or a practice environment. I was assured that with my degree from Ashford I would be able to do just that. So very excited about my choice my journey began.

I was interested in advancing my education, so I went on Ashford's website. Within a few minutes, I put my information and somebody called me. My enrollment adviser’s name was Megan and she was very thorough. Also, it was easy to navigate the courses. I only had a few classes that were a little difficult. And I learned a lot about myself through school and about other people, realizing that not everybody operates the same. Doing online school is really all about perseverance. Anybody can go to Ashford or go to any online school and be successful once they’re willing to put in the work.

I enrolled in Ashford in 2014. I started a course and couldn't comprehend what to do. I tried calling my student adviser several times and never could get through to anyone. After dealing with terrible customer service and not getting anywhere I decided it would be best to cancel. I thought that was the end of it, but... Flash forward to 2020 and I got my Credit Report saying That I owe this place over $300. I Decide to call them. They said it was their enrollment fee. Then they change their answer to its a cancellation fee. Then they tell me it's at a collection agency.

It's awesome that going through Ashford was quick. I just wish they would have a lecture that I could find in the library for whatever classes I’m in, so I can look at those. I’d also like to have a classroom with a lecture because then, if people asked questions, those might be the same questions that I would ask. It could be some sort of forum where you could ask questions and maybe somebody else could answer the questions, because some people knew the answers to some of my questions, and I know the answer to some of their questions. They said that the café was something like that, but it didn’t get used like that.

I have graduated from Ashford University, and everything's great. They were really supportive. For military, they cover all of our fees and our books, and they work with our tuition assistance. And they were great with scheduling my classes. I had to take a couple of breaks due to deployments and training. Their staff was phenomenal. I really appreciated their feedback and they were really timely with everything. However, online wasn't as challenging as a regular institutionalized college. Also, there's a need to improve their grading standards. I may be my hardest critic, but even sometimes I would submit assignments that I go, "That's a B at best," they come back to me and like, "Oh, it's perfect." But, overall, I had a great time going to school there. I appreciate everything that they did. I'm going to grad school next, and I would have continued with Ashford, but they don't have my degree pass for graduate school.

I have a friend in the navy and I went and visited them. He said that he was in school at Ashford and I asked him what he was doing. He told me about it and said it was recommended by one of his uppers. I had always anticipated on getting a bachelor's degree and I did the community college route when I had graduated high school. I had already pretty much completed my associate when I got married and then moved across the country with my military husband. Basically, most colleges don't really wanna accept military unless you know for a fact that you're gonna be there 'til the completion. But that's not an option for me as I can’t do that.

One of my previous employers had gone through Ashford University. I was talking about wanting to finish my degree and she recommended me to them. They have five-week courses and it helped me be able to get everything done and organized that way. Their enrollment process was easy. The only issues I ever had was with my financial aid. But after calling them and getting that worked out, it was fine. The learning experience was really good. I had never done discussion boards, so that was new for me. And knowing that mainly everything was due on a Thursday or on the Monday, gave me enough time to prepare for the following weeks.

I was looking around at different schools on the web and went with Ashford because of the class times, that they were six weeks. The enrollment was quick and easy. Inside the classroom modules, the website was good and simple. The professors were good. It has been a positive experience, being able to quickly finish the classes and get my degree. The interaction and feedback that I received from the peers and students were good. The only issue that I ever had was when I was trying to log in early before the class dates, I couldn't get in. I would have to wait 'til the actual class date started. But if I wanted to have a preview of it and how long it was, I wouldn't be able to see that.

My older sister was in a traditional college and was about to graduate, but she still had a course to take. She went online, took it at Ashford and then transferred the credit. The enrollment process was really easy. I said what I wanted to do and start and they said, “Okay. Done.” When I started taking my classes, I really enjoyed the freedom that it gave me, but it was still structured, which was where I stayed on track. There were also a lot of resources that I could use with them, in regards to the library or the tutoring. They’ve been nothing but helpful. Navigating the courses was really user-friendly. In your first course, they really break down how to use the system. And if you can’t figure it out, you can get ahold of someone that can figure it out for you. Your instructor tells you to contact them if you can’t figure it out. It has been nothing but a positive experience.

My mom attended Ashford. I wanted to do the same degree that she did, and I love early childhood. I love working with kids since I was seven. And so, I would often read the books that she had. I would read her papers, partly to look for grammar for her papers because I was in high school by the time she started. She let me kinda watch what she was doing. She told me, "I have discussions due here. I have papers due here." I really liked the way that it was all set up and the discussions once a week on this day and papers this day. I got really good feedback from her. And I know she got good feedback from her professors on all her papers because I was always interested in what she got. She let me read the feedback, and I know it was really helpful for her and that's what I wanted. I wanted professors that would give feedback that would help in what I needed, and be able to contact them.

I was looking for a social work program, and I didn’t get what I wanted as far as social work, but I did get into Ashford on a sociology program. The enrollment was pretty easy, and my adviser, Zach helped me through it very well. There was a lot of guidance through the whole system. The online learning made learning quite a bit easier and more flexible. I liked my professors. Some of them have been very helpful, and I keep them posted as to how I’m doing, even after I graduated. I enjoyed my classes and doing the work in my classes. It was a program that definitely does set me up for success in a lot of areas. So, I’m happy with it. My most impactful experience was creating an actual actionable plan for activism, for a study that would actually impact the community.

The online experience and that they worked with the G.I. Bill led me to choose Ashford University. I have three kids and work at the same time. Just being able to do everything online really helps with my home situation. Their enrollment process was seamless and I really enjoyed it. They were able to get all the questions I needed and I was able to start the program quickly right afterwards. The professors were very knowledgeable about the information they were providing and teaching. The website was fantastic and the blackboard was really good.

When I first started, my adviser was wonderful. Once I was fully enrolled, my student adviser was horrible. She never responded in a timely manner. I would have to reach out to other departments to get help. I asked to switch advisers, I was told no, and I need to speak to her about my concerns. Due to lack of communication, I was told I was going to be kicked out due to not having my Fin. Aide done. She never sent me any information on timelines when it was due, nothing. I also was involved with the Camp Fire, and no leave of absence was given for that. After turning in my Fin. Aide information, I was presented with a 6,000 bill. Then, put into collections. I have been working with the creditor and have even emailed Ashford to try to come to some sort of settlement, they will not email me back.

I did college at a local university and online. It was a 16-week course which was so long and drawn out and I only got four credits for it. So, I started doing some more research and I stumbled across Ashford. The five-week courses kind of enticed me. I just went to the website and I got a link later on from somebody that was trying to help me with it, and they told me what to fill out. A few pages later, I hit submit and it showed that I was approved. I learned quite a bit, which was unrealistic for five weeks but I retained a lot more than I thought that I would. When classes are so drawn out, you would start to forget some of the earlier stuff that you learned. It went well with what I’m trying to do. My job is structured like a business, so business administration has helped me a lot with everything.

My husband works for the post office and Ashford University was on the list of colleges that they recommend. I liked the convenience of being in an online school and that I didn’t have to add more credit hours to the degree that I already have. Also, a lot of the online schools I looked into wanted me to take almost a full extra semester compared to the credits that I would have through Ashford. Enrolling was quick and easy. The counselors were great.

My dad’s in the military so a lot of his coworkers use Ashford. Enrollment was a pretty easy process. I had to wait for about two months because there were some issues with their VA payment. But after that, it was pretty quick. I like the flexible schedule of it. I also liked being able to do all the coursework sort of at my own pace. All of my advisors were usually pretty quick to reply to my emails and help me out if I needed any help.

One of my old coworkers went through Ashford for their master’s program. It was easy enrolling with them. The quality of learning was really good. I definitely learned a lot. I’ve actually recommended the school to my current coworker. The independent learning process was definitely what worked best for me in a working and a family environment. And the professors were very adamant and attentive to their students, which was great. They were, for the most part, on top of their grading and giving feedback. I only had an issue with one of them. She contradicted herself quite a bit between her feedback and what she was asking for. So, I just kept emailing her and double-checking everything that I was doing, making sure it was what exactly she wanted. We never really worked it out. I still passed the class though. But it wasn’t as high as what the rest of my grades were.

I started back in 2009. I did six months, and then I quit because I was going through an act of divorce, and then I went back six years later. I was able to pick up where I left off. I like the flexibility of doing your homework because I work full time and then my kids had soccer and a whole bunch of other stuff, so I couldn’t do school every day. I had to work around my schedule, and I was able to with Ashford.

I always knew that I wanted to get my master’s and then my PhD so I took advantage of the online program with Ashford while I was deployed. The enrollment process was super easy and everyone was super helpful. There were times where we didn’t have any power and I was able to reach out to my professors and they were able to extend assignments for me. They were very understanding of my situation. The materials and the courses were definitely challenging but it was great. I really feel like I learned a lot and I’ve been able to apply some of the stuff that I’ve learned to everyday life. I recommended it to my sister and told her it was a flexible school, so she’s taking classes there now.

One of my coworkers was going through Ashford University years ago and he turned me on to it. The condensed courses appealed to me so I was able to do it. Being an active duty military and being able to do that, it worked out well. But if you weren't watching your financial aid, it would get messed up quite frequently. I was getting a $750 stipend after every class and I had to monitor my financial aid very closely because there were always errors being done.

Don’t do it. Don’t waste your time or money with these unprofessional, unproductive, incompetent rip-offs.??? Awful. Just plain ole sad. Took over two months for them to get their ** together. Said I owed more than the actual amount. No one knew what was going on. Several people were supposed to call back and did not. Received multiple emails for things that I did not need or need to do. Never received emails when it was something that needed to be done. Day before class. No class. Still not listed. Had to call again only for them to add a class that I did not need to take. And finally changed but was told that would take 4 hours to reflect.

Being able to do courses online at Ashford University makes life easier due to the fact that I’m in the military. Enrollment went pretty quickly, sweet, and easy. I didn’t have to take Humanities again ‘cause every time I transferred schools, I had to redo it. Ashford accepted everything. My student advisor, Gene, was the reason I stayed with that school as he was always willing to help, always get me on track, and get me accountable. If I had a problem, I could talk to him and work through it. He was awesome to work with. When I was finishing one class, he would say that we work on the next one to three classes. He would also ask my schedule, or if I have anything coming up, or appointments that I know about so we might have to see after my schedule. I learned how to write papers, which helped me overall in my career. The high ranking I get, the more I have to write. With all the papers I wrote, I just got better and better.

My employer covered my student fees and course fees. I, in turn, provided my employer with a great employee that benefited from a good university education. I put in a lot of time. I was dedicated to finish my courses with the highest grade. I did not short cut. I found spare hours to study in each day. It was not easy. It was an accelerated pace. It isn't for everyone. I had no issues with billing, communication with my professors or classmates. To get value from your education and your life you need to structure your time and be dedicated to your goals. I am very happy with my Ashford University higher education experience and my accredited degree.

I attended University of the Rockies for my PhD classes - then it merged with Ashford and everything went downhill. My advisor is terrible, hides behind policies and "being overworked and understaffed." I frequently have to request a follow-up email to get a response and even then it is a stock answer. This place is a bad joke. I'm a working professional who couldn't step back in income to attend a traditional PhD program for 4-5 years. Sadly, I regret my choice and am embarrassed by the name of Ashford on my resume and diploma. Some of the faculty are decent, but the admin staff are atrocious. Be prepared for forced breaks when the advisors don't line you up for another class or when the financial aid department provides you faulty advice. What a joke.

Ashford University has the worst support for their students. Teachers blame IT, IT blames third party vendors, and so on. When they are getting g your money they are happy, as soon as you leave their true colors come out. I was a 3.91 student with full honors and and I was a champ that mentored other students. When I told them that I wanted to leave they didnt care. I'm now in a university that has far more options for doctoral degrees to choose from and grow into.

This company charged me for a course I never took. When one day I could not go back to class. I found out I was kicked out because non payment. Come to find out it was already on my credit so nothing I could do. I've disputed several times. Now 4 yrs later it's finally on my credit as a derogatory remark. Very fishy. I do believe I am a victim of the many cases of the reviews done before and after mine. This college plays people. I'm a single mom. I had a dream. That's been crushed because these greedy people running a scheme. Now I owe 45k plus for college I'll never get to finish. Great ok America. Thank you to Obama for the fake no child left behind. Thanks to Trump for enforcing non payment on college courses. 4 yrs later it's now showing on my credit. One thing I will never do is accept a loan for college in America ever again. THEY are all in it together to control, lie, & steal everything they can from us.

I took a class in Spring of 2017. In October of 2019 I get a bill from a collection agency saying that I have not paid my bill from AU. I paid for my class so I'm not even sure what this extra %55 was for. They never sent me a bill. Just went straight to the collection agency. Not sure how I'm suppose to pay a bill that I don't know exists.

This university preys on military and families with little knowledge of financial aid. Huge promises that will never, ever, be fulfilled. They will drain your GI bill, financial aid, and will take/hold as much money as they can get. When you smarten up and try to transfer, good luck with transcripts. They will charge you with BS holds and request 350$ before releasing. You have been warned, this university is a SCAM.

Can't find a job with worthless Ashford degree and in debt! The title says it all. This place is one giant scam. Their representatives are judged by how many students they sign-up week after week and if they don't enroll enough then they're fired. Just look at the Glassdoor reviews for this place. Do you really think they have your best interests at heart? I went through months at this school wondering why everything was so easy and fellow students who hardly did any work got the same grades I did! Now I am up to my eyeballs in debt that I can never get rid of and this sorry excuse for a school is thousands of dollars richer.

Never went to college out of high school and needed the higher education degree to further my career. I took all of my classes at AU. I never had a problem or issue with Ashford or any of the instructors. I kept on top of my studies and even took breaks when I moved across the US for work relocation, no issues. Near the end I started doubling and even tripling up classes in order to finish sooner, still no issues. If you are an adult, willing to act like one and do the work, you will not have any issues with this school. I completed my degree in Spring of 2019 and it was a lot of hard work but it would have been regardless of what school I went to.

I am enrolled in the HVAC program with Ashford University. They denied me the voucher for the EPA certification with I paid for as a part of the program. The reason: I have not completed their lousy diploma program. You DO NOT need an online HVAC certification to handle refrigerant or work in HVAC. You DO NEED the EPA 608 which I was told would be provided in voucher form. The program has no direct access to an instructor (there is not even an instructor with contact information my class!), no group discussions or anything beyond a textbook which has been useful. I am now employed in HVAC, and would NOT recommend Ashford University. Their school is only nationally accredited which many employers no longer recognize, meaning any other expensive program would be a waste.

After attending Ashford University for 2 years I called to reenroll after taking a break because of family. I have 4 course to complete my BA degree. I was told I owed $490. Ok from where? Then after reviewing the acct they said, "Oh we sent your balance to external collections." I said, "Why, no one called, emailed nor paper mailed me." They said, "We called 7 times from automatic numbers and we don't have to leave voicemails nor are we obligated to email you." After speaking to Bob ** he stated, "Informing you isn't our responsibility nor the collection agency." Wth? If someone owes a debt IT IS your responsibility to make several attempts to contact the debtor. If you cannot complete your degree without breaks and full financial aid DO NOT ENROLL at Ashford University. It has been 5 months and still no contact from Ashford's collection department nor the alleged collection agency.

I initially enrolled with Ashford University years ago due to being recommended by a colleague who ended up not even finishing her degree with Ashford. She ended up having to get a degree at a local school due to finances. In my case, due to being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, I've had to drop out of school multiple times. It has taken me twice as long to finish a degree due to such circumstances.

Best advice is to stay far, far away from this sham of a school. And shame on Ashford for their negative impact on so many lives of those trying to better themselves. For me personally, I am not only stuck with student loans but after Ashford told me I did not owe them anything further, they contacted me at the start of my very last class to inform me that I owe them over $5,000. How is anyone expected to come up with $5,000 in 5 weeks! Even after taking this to disputes (this process is also a joke), it is unclear to me what the unpaid balance is for or why they told me earlier I did not owe anything. The only thing I got out of the conversation is that I owe it and have to pay it, final.

From day one of speaking to an Ashford Rep until the day I received my undergraduate degree, I had a great experience. The classes were challenging and the instructors attentive to my needs. I have attended brick and mortar colleges and found my experience at AU to be the best all around education received. I am very proud of my degree from Ashford University.

I just finished reading several reviews regarding Ashford Univ. There are several negative reviews and that is unfortunate for both school and student. I have attended this school in 2012 and re-entered 2/18 seeking a BA in ABS. I have six classes left and will graduate in 2/2020. My experience here was positive and truthful. From the school awarding me 56 credits previously from other schools, financial aid, cost, etc., have been correct and in-line void of any disappointment. If I needed a break here and there it was afforded to me no problem, even after having no power or internet for 30 days after Hurricane Michael. I don't anticipate any problems in the future either. There will always be haters and people blaming someone else for their troubles, and sometimes they are correct. Read between the lines. Great school great experience for me.

I started with Ashford in 2012 and when I joined I was not aware that I would not have had enough money to pay for my schooling. They are just so eager to get you in so that, they can eat up all of your financial aid money. I started to realize I was never getting any financial aid money back. I didn't realize that they were ridiculously high. I loved the teachers but the staff is the most horrible of them all. I withdrew after a year, because the man told me that I would not have enough money. That was a wrap for me. Now I have a hold on my account for $766.

I am a single mother of two.. My babies are of age so I decided it's my time to continue my education so I can show them anything is possible no matter how old you are or what struggles you have had in life. I need them to know that the sky is the limit.. I seriously was thinking about continuing my education through Ashford University but after reading pages of terrible reviews I'll pass in the most humbling way ever. It seems as I'll be wasting my time studying at this Online University. Playing with someone's time and money is a major red flag for me. My motivation is my babies and I want to get a better paying job not get into more debt.

I completed the MPA program through a grant program with my employer in 2018. I can honestly say it was a wonderful experience utilizing their online tools, especially the online library. The academic advisors helped every step of the way. The professors were knowledgeable in the field, transparent and easy to contact regarding assignments. I would honestly consider returning to complete a second masters. I believe many of the negative comments surrounds financial aid. There are things to consider when enrolling into a college and financial resources is one of them. Do your research before enrolling in any higher education establishment to make sure it fits your budget and educational aspirations.

I am nearing the dissertation phase of my Doctor of Philosophy in Education. My experience has been very positive. At this level of education you get out of it what you put into it and what you want to get out of it. I've had nothing but good experiences with advisors, financial aid personnel, and with courses. It boggles my mind when I read poor reviews because my experience has been spectacular. I highly recommend this school.

My experience with Ashford was horrendous. After 3 courses they told me I should have not been accepted because I did my undergrad in Puerto Rico. Even though Puerto Rico is a USA territory, I have a doctorate and been living in the USA for 20 years. They felt I needed to take an English language test, again this happened 4 months after I was accepted and completed 3 courses. I do not want anything to do with them. Staff is rude, university is sub par. Do not waste your effort or money here.

I work with a Enrollment agent, Sarah **. She was horrible, I listed my marital status to be Single for 2016 and married now in my FAFSA application. During my enrollment, she says, "We have received your FAFSA and processed quickly through my enrollment." But now, when I ask her politely to check up on my FAFSA status. She just keep telling me to wait for it. There was NOTHING changes that was part of the status that I was having issue with. And now, I am treating myself like a dog, just to ask her to get my financial aid fix on their end. If I could, I would have a lawsuit right away. For what? That anger that I have to beg her to fix it. Little **. And that's how education is done, when you don't have money.

I would love to know why you had nothing but extremely high marking things to say about this school even amongst the pages full of complaints by current and previous students who all had the same thing in common. Money was "written clearly in their policy" but they do not follow their own policy. They have scammed several people out of their own money, myself included. I never once received a bill for anything and kept up to date on my loan payments to them. They had no problem at all taking them either. Until it was time to graduate and lo and behold, all of a sudden when it is time to receive my diploma, I owe money so they are unable to provide me with it. I haven't been able to get a better job because I don't have proof of graduation. They are solely a for profit business and do nothing but take money from people who are trying to better themselves. You should be ashamed of yourself!!!!

I'm graduating in less than two weeks. It's taken almost five years to finish my BA/Psychology. Be warned that Ashford will promise ANYTHING to get you to sign on the dotted line. Afterwards, be prepared to fight every step of the way for what they promised. It's a boiler room ethic and I have had no less than eight Academic Counselors in that time. One flat out lied stating, "It's mandatory to have a minor degree." I fought, she was indeed wrong but nonetheless, they tried to straddle me with classes I didn't need.

This is the worst school experience I have ever had. All they want to do is take your financial aid money but you will not get your doctorate degree. They have you taking unnecessary classes to prolong you staying until your financial aid runs out. I would give rate them at zero if I could. My recommendation to the readers, go to another school. They signed me up for a pilot program that took my money and prolonged my dissertation process. The chair left the school and the students did not hear from him for months and the school did not bother to tell us he left. This school is a joke. My advisor has a box of rocks for a brain.

Stay far, far away from this school. They will pull every trick in the book to get your money and keep getting it. I already have a degree and work full time as an accountant so when I decided to go back to school Ashford sounded like something that would work really well with my busy schedule. I was told all my classes would transfer and everything was great. I paid for my first class, got my schedule, and nothing was right. The entire schedule was full of classes I’d already taken. I spent a full week and a half trying to get up with my advisor with no luck.

I completed 90 credits with another online University, before my employer developed a partnership with Ashford. I had no complaints about the University I attended, I paid out of pocket expenses, student loans and had access to tuition reimbursement programs. Through my employer's partnership with Ashford, I chose to enroll and take advantage of their full tuition grant program. I had the most wonderful experience with Joseph the enrollment adviser. He lead me through the process with getting my credits transferred, setting up the bridge between Ashford and my employer and went above and beyond his job to help me get it all taken care of.

I just completed my Bachelors in Criminal Justice and I must say that I would and will recommend Ashford to anyone I come in contact with. I am an active duty Marine and they have accommodated me whenever I had to withdraw from school due to military deployments. My advisor was great and although they did change once it never really had an impact on the quality of service I received. It is a lot of work so if you do not have the discipline I do not recommend taking any college courses. Also, take the time to review your financial options, do not get into something you cannot afford. The college is for profit so make sure all your financial paperwork is in order. The professors were great for the most part, and the curriculum was comparable to other universities. They all make you take classes you think you do not need this is not out of the ordinary. College is not free people make sure you have a plan!!!

Place: Ashford University. Address: 8620 Spectrum Center Blvd. City: San Diego, CA 92123. Telephone: (800) 798-0584 ext: 18160. I attended Ashford University from August, 2010 until May 25, 2017. When I started this school I was told it was “upstanding school with accolades from the U.S. government." That there would be no out-of-pocket cost for my education there and the student loans will cover all cost of my education there. Ashford University has cheated me of an education by way of overcharging me, withholding my disbursements (from my student loans) and charging me for classes outside of my curriculum. They forced me to take classes that I did not need with threats that if I did not take the classes that they would withhold my degree and transcript, which is what they did anyway.

I signed up with Ashford to complete my degree in Business Administration back in Oct or Nov 2017. It was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I failed to do my research on the school and I am going to pay for it now. First things first I was lied to by the enrollment adviser, my wife is military and they attempted to talk me into using my WIFE'S GI BILL so she wouldn't have access to it, they wouldn't stop asking me to take it from her, it was almost to the point of harassment. The enrollment adviser said that my tuition would run at $600 total and I wouldn't have ANY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES.

I attended Ashford from 2016 to 2019 and finally finished Feb 2019 and now they wanted to charge me 3091.00 plus 150 GRADUATION FEE. I did not sign up to participate in graduation ceremony and when I started I was told there would be no out of pocket expenses. Then all of a sudden there was an error in my FAFSA and they took forever to fix it. Finally figured out that I still have the grants and if I wanted them to pay off balance to send back a letter. I sent back and then today the balance owed doubled. 6000.00 and my transcript is frozen! I need to find a job and now they don't want to show proof I attended! I went here as a mom at 40 who wanted to better myself and they are a scam! DO NOT ATTEND!! STAY AWAY!!

I completed my degree four months ago and find myself using the skills and knowledge I gained on a daily basis. I'm making more confident, effective and efficient decisions. My learning was personalized and I never felt like just another number enrolled in a class. They accommodated my schedule requests and all but one course had an engaging and helpful professor. Overall, a positive experience, I'm glad I stuck it out when the course-load was tough.

I asked repeatedly for Ashford to let me take a break from my courses due to all kinds of personal circumstances that would not allow me to perform at my best. My advisor kept talking me in to staying with the course and just "taking a C- is better than withdrawing" etc., Every time I tried to leave the school on my own terms. When I finally could not continue my work anymore (it was the last straw), I asked that they withdraw me. Well I received a letter after that saying I was "academically dismissed" for not showing up/meeting attendance guidelines- even though I was always communicative on why I could not continue. They were actually sending emails to an email address provided by Ashford that I did not even have access to (the school provided one). Well, I did not know all of that until I was actually dismissed from the school.

This review is not a good one. When I enrolled in Ashford University I was told that I would not have any out of pocket expenses, that between the student loans and the grant they would give me covered everything up until I got my degree and that I would then have some time to pay the loans off. Then yesterday I was told that I owe out of pocket expenses. And that they were putting a hold on my account and that I needed to withdraw from the school until it was paid.

I reported an instructor for unfair biased grading and they never acknowledged it. This instructor needs to be fired but they refuse to do anything about him. This university needs to watch who they hire and keep a record on them. I kind of regret attending this place.

Warning! This school is a complete joke. When I enrolled in Ashford University, I thought I would at least receive some kind of refund or disbursement from financial aid and student loans, boy was I wrong. After waiting about four month for my first refund, this school took out $9,346 in loans and about $3,000 in grants and told me I needed to make additional payments in order for me to stay enrolled. I immediately canceled all of my loans and grants and withdrew from Ashford University. My grants and loans were sent back to the Department of Education and they issued me a refund. I got smart on them and enrolled at a better, more affordable school before the bill was even sent to me. I'm now receiving about 2 thousand in refunds every 2 months. I'm also getting a better quality education compared to when I was at Ashford. I am so glad I switch schools.

I wasn't able to finish at my previous school due to travel issues. Working as a paraprofessional for the city, I wanted to continue my education further to become a teacher. I called several online schools and they were completely honest and said they do not offer a teacher preparation program for NY state (which is student teaching). The advisor at Ashford checked and told me with the Early childhood degree that they offer, I would be able to become a certified teacher in my state. Well lo and behold. 14,000 later, I find out that the advisor was wrong and that she wasn't there anymore.

First off I only called to receive information. Next thing I knew I was enrolled in school. It happened so fast I don’t even know how. I do know they are supposed to be going non profit by the end of this year but if this were true then why are costs increasing next year when students were promised this would lower cost. I was told my credits would transfer found out that only one previous class transferred. I am disabled and had extensions for my courses to complete my work although this I did not receive until I had already taken multiple classes and one professor noticed my struggle and explained to me how get help through the Ashford health and wellness center. Well I did this. I get extra time however not all of my instructors honored it or took my accommodations into consideration especially the last week of class.

I just finished my major classes and am in my 3rd year working on my minor - if you have self-discipline and can enforce good time-management to get your workload done according to the grading rubric and requested date, it is awesome. I have had zero issues with the material or workload - very flexible and I always take a lot away with me. The teachers can be hit or miss - but I've had way more positive/neutral experiences than I have bad - and it just takes an email to them to remedy it (not everyone grades the same, this can be a gray area if it is written assignments vs. Math and Science where it is black and white answers).

I was facing listing my home, so I decided to pursue a degree to make ends meet and stay afloat. Ashford was the first school to call back. I was mislead about disbursement dates, amounts, and more. It took weeks to get the paperwork they needed, while never getting the same answer twice from my highly incompetent enrollment advisor. The classes were a joke--clearly filler while they wait for you to drop out. One instructor made it clear they would have graded earlier assignments more harshly if they knew how well I'd do on the final. That instructor also allowed another student to threaten me with violence without comment.

When I first enrolled the woman was very pushy about me taking a student loan. I told her there’s too many free ways to do it. I don’t want a loan. She confronted me about choosing the box saying I don’t want a loan and made it out like I had no choice. I started classes and really the classes and flexibility were fine. Some harder than others. I used FASFA to pay for classes and wondered why that loan never came. I was supposed to have a loan for more than I needed and I’d get the extra so I was waiting on it.

Whatever you do, don't go to this school. It is a complete ripoff and your degree is not worth the paper they print it on. They want money. That's it. I was completely lied to and mislead the entire time. I went to school for almost 4 years. One month before I was suppose to graduate with my degree they put me out saying my final work was not done and that I would have to re enroll in those classes the next semester. I will not give them another dime. I have 74000.00 worth of student loans all for nothing. I will join any lawsuit against them. Just let me know and you can count me in.

I attended Ashford and had a great experience! They worked with me to transfer some credits I had received from another University and helped me transition into my degree program. It can be challenging to go back to school at 40 with a family and full time job but the staff in the financial aid department, my advisors (I did have more than one) and my Instructors were very helpful so that I could finish my degree in Business Finance. Tuition was on the more expensive side but not unreasonable. It took a lot of hard work but I had a lot of help along the way thanks to some great staff members. Thank you Ashford!

Oh where to begin. This school is a joke. My wife and I both attended Ashford, and at first they sounded smooth and compassionate. That wasn't the case after the first two courses or so. Everyone other than my enrollment counselor seemed like it was their first day on the job every time I called up there. Go figure, the front line enrollment counselors are smooth talkers and well trained to get you in the door, but after that they drop you on your face.

I was enrolled at Ashford about 3 years ago. I enjoyed my experience up until the day I had to have emergency surgery. They decided to drop me from my class and then proceeded to charge me about $2000, to reenroll me in it without my permission. I had a hard time at this point with pain medication and always being tired. I had three kids on top of school and managed to get all B's in my classes up to this point. Now that I am ready to reenter school and have found one that will work for me they have decided to hold onto my transcript and make it so that I cannot used the credits I earned from them. I never asked to be dropped then re-enrolled. And when I talked to them about it they acted like they understood. They are a rip off and I am working to get their accreditation taken away from them.

I wanted to withdraw and the Financial Aid Counselor told me that I would lose all my funding if I did. I needed to withdraw because issues in class. Now I owe 3000$ and need my transcript to continue my classes.

I just wanted to give a brief review of my experience attending Ashford University. I just completed my degree in Psychology and it was a great experience. It took me four years and I had to stop and start many times to get through it, but Ashford worked with me through every situation I had to keep me on track and stopping my classes when I needed to stop. Communication with your academic advisor is important so that you can submit the necessary forms to stop your classes and then start them again. It was a smooth ride for me. I did not have any issues with any class or finances at all! You have to communicate with your advisors and professors just like you would if you attended class in person. It is a great school providing a great education! Just wanted to say thanks to Ashford University for working with me through these years to helping me get my degree!

I went to Ashford because it sounded great. Take one class at a time and it’s flexible with my busy work schedule. I ended up having to take a leave of absence because my mother became ill and I was caring for her. I had asked for a second extension which was granted to only find out it wasn’t. My counselor signed me up for classes that I was unaware of. When I called to complain he said he couldn’t help me because he had no record of my leave request to which I sent him my email confirmations. They are making me pay $6000 in classes I didn’t take. Not only that they gave me an F on my transcripts for those classes which I should have never been signed up for. They advertise rainbow and unicorns and deliver stress, debt and frustration. Most useless online school I have ever gone to. I highly recommend NOT attending their school as they will only scam you out of money, time and energy.

I finished my bachelor's and master's with this school, and next month I am starting on my second masters. I've been completely happy with my experience here. There have been a few minor annoyances, like a few teachers (out of about 40 that I've had) that were not great, and the initial enrollment process was a major hassle. But it was totally worth it and most of the teachers are awesome. The work is challenging but not stressful. There has never been a problem with my financing in my five plus years with the school, and the advisers are extremely competent, friendly, and supportive.

When I initially signed up for classes, they were smooth. Everything sounded great. I am a retired U.S. Marine, and happen to be disabled. One week into my first class I was hospitalized for an unexpected surgery. I missed 4 assignments and was not given a chance to make them up, they were just zeroed out. They have interactive assignments and when I called tech support all they could do was send an email to my instructor. I’ve had to call tech support more than three times in one night. Some student in Utah tried to help me but could not...useless. To make things worse they are not pro military as they advertise. I was told in one of my assignments what one learner did wrong. I was forced to read an article about a Marine that was a total piece of garbage as a student...not professional.

I went to this University for about two years, at first things were great but then at the end of the year when I was about to earn my degree, they told me I owe money in which I didn't. I am in debt with student loans that I have no knowledge of. They are money hungry!!! I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree and never received it. I worked hard and kept all of my grades up at the age of 40 and still no paper. I waste my time and I am in desperate need of trying to get these loans forgiven. I was disabled then and I'm still disabled but that didn't matter to them. I hate I wasted my time online from South Carolina. If anyone knows where we can get help please let me know.

I am a military veteran and previously attended this university. They overcharged me the entire time I was there and I had to hunt them down to get answers. They refused to refund me after overcharging me for 2 years. I finally transferred out to another school, but now I may not have enough funding left to pay for college and graduate next year. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!

The school is a for-profit school! They do not care at all about the student. They care all about the money. I asked for a break from classes and the advisor said, "Ok I will put in for your break and schedule your next class to start after the break." I said ok. A week later I was being called by the attendance department telling me I need to post in the class or the school was going to drop me from the school. How can I post in a class if I was not in a class?? My class was scheduled for the end of the break I was on. Ironically enough they would not get my funds from my loans till my class started again.

I took a leave of absence due to some personal turmoils. I sent in the form as I have done before. Last class I took was the end of 2017. I have not been able to attend school until now. I tried enrolling back in school and no response. NO ONE RESPONDS. I sent in complaints and no one is doing anything about it. I get a call this morning from a debt collection agency stating I need to pay over $ 4000, something I clearly cannot afford and they will not work with me either. I want help and I want answers but no one will help me except I have to pay off a balance of over $5000 before I can come back. First it started over $2000 and now went over $5000. This place is stopping me from getting my degree because people don't do their jobs and put it on the student. UNPROFESSIONAL.

Even if you do not go to the graduation ceremony that will end up costing you thousands of dollars, the school still charges you a 150-graduation fee just for being enrolled in their program. They said it’s for and shipping your diploma however I have attended other colleges that just send your degree and diploma for free. Heck as much money as you have paid to attend this college the least they can do is send it to you for free. My problem with this is that this fee was brought to my attention 2 whole weeks after I had completed the program.

I enjoy the school in general and my overall experience has been positive for the most part. Everything I expected from it has come true. I really enjoy the flexibility of these programs. They have lots of different resources. The way teachers interact with their kids is so so, but for the most part they are very nice with them and keep everything simple enough for everyone to understand. The teachers really like to help out students with one on one talks and a friendly environment. But I would improve response time, there are many instances in which a teacher will not respond to a student for a formidable amount of time.

I love that it is easy for me to set my own schedule because I work full time and I also have a daughter. It gives me the freedom to take care of my home life and go to school at the same time. Everyone that I come in contact with are very helpful and always willing to help me get things done, I love them and I hope that they stay the same. Overall my experience with taking online classes with Ashford University has been amazing, I don't think I would ever go back to a brick and mortar university, is so much easier and convenient online.

I attended Ashford University from 2011 until 2015 and the last class they waited until the last week of class to tell me I had a $1400 balance. And because of this I have no degree to show for it and no official transcript. I completed my classes in February 2015 with $80000 in student loans and nothing to show for it. I offered to pay them $100 a month and before I knew it I was sent to collections. I paid over $400.00 but have not been able to pay the rest as I have had multiple surgeries and live on Social Security right now due to my health because I can't complete my Masters because I don't have official transcripts to prove my GPA and classes. Ashford is dishonest and run by criminals.

The flexibility it offers is the one reason why I chose to go online for Masters program. It was better than having to go to school at night and sit in a classroom after working 8 hours a all day at my full time job. I really enjoyed the program, and got a lot out of it. I thought Ashford online Masters program was a good one. A little too expensive, but very comprehensive and I finished in less than 2 years. But one on one help with the professors is not always available. Email isn't always the best way to communicate as often messages are misinterpreted. I would not recommend online programs for accounting and math classes, where there has to be more interactions between students and teacher.

I took a leave of absence due to my dad's health. I sent in the form as I have done before. Apparently no one processed it and they got me dropped and over $5,000 sent to collections because they wanted me to make payments I could not afford. I sent in 2 complaints and no one is doing anything about it. No response at all. I'm getting slapped in the face for the school's mistake. I was in my 3rd year and did nothing wrong on my part. I want help and I want answers but no one will help me except I have to pay off a balance of over $5000 before I can come back. First it started over $2000 and now went over $5000. This place is stopping me from getting my degree because people don't do their jobs and put it on the student.

I like this college. I want to get the most I can and will do my best to get my degree. I work hard and study hard. The reason I go to school is to get my degree. The more I study the smarter I will be. The more the education experience enhances me the better I will be. I am a better person because of it. I like most everything. I can figure out for myself the classes I want to study and the more I take the more I will like it. Going to school is the best thing I have ever done. The whole experience is so good. I like it very much. I plan to take courses all the time. You can never get enough school so I plan on keeping learning and will do my best to succeed. Thank you very much.

Ashford University is excellent institution, because is the high quality and truly for my life. The institution offer good program and good credit and the easy access for study from my house or from anyone place.

I enjoy the one on one tutoring opportunities that I received. In traditional universities, I had to worry about the pace of other students and trying to keep up with them, but here, the curriculum is based on my pace and understandings. But I wish I had more class hours because I felt that I had a lot of free time at home. However, this can also be good since I needed to get my degree quicker and with a more flexible schedule. But I could still use some extra hours even with my busy schedule. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Ashford and I would definitely recommend it to other people. Since many people I know have busy schedules and cannot afford to pursue higher education at a physical college, Ashford online would be the best option for them.

Work at your own pace. It's not a rushed job. You take your time and go through the lessons until it's test time. But the test are timed which is the part that I hate. Also test are too short. Since people work more than others and need extra time to go through the book to find answers. Other than that the program is great. It works around your schedule. It's a great college especially if you have small children. It allows you to study but still have time for your kids.

A very good experience that I will never forget, I'm very satisfied with everything I learned on this course. I have taken 3 courses on this site and I feel very satisfied with all of them. I like the way they make us learn and understand about communications and all the things it brings. I like the material they gave to us and the program as it is. I would take this course again and again. I really like the course, although I would improve a bit more the program and the material, and the website needs a better performance and design.

There is a quick response from my teachers or counselor of whatever course that I have a question with. This would be good practice for anyone who needs social skills. The only thing that would benefit is if there were more group discussion on certain topics for some the courses, along with the teachers. But for a person like me who works full-time and has the evenings free, Ashford University is good. It gives me more time to process and do homework.

I like the convenience and asynchronous nature of the courses as well as the ability to do work when my employment schedule allows and not have to attend classes. However, the biggest issue I had during my degree program was with non-responsive professors. I would send messages and ask questions in the area and not get a response. It was frustrating. But overall, the entire experience was excellent. It provided me with a great opportunity to earn my degree while still being able to be fully employed. I would welcome the chance to repeat this experience for a doctorate if the opportunity presented itself.

I love that I am able to use this program at my own pace and be able to get a tutor or help at any time I might need it. This website is wonderful and had great informative classes and webinars. All the staff and teachers have been so helpful and supportive. The best part is being able to communicate with my online community. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend using this website.

Dope school to go to. Great reviews for school. Great features offered in online coursework and great student system overall. I am very satisfied with the program and what it covers. Also, small groups in class. Everything works great in online programs. Very nice way to take classes when you are working all the time. However, I wish they offered more programs in schools for online degrees.

Great benefits for going to school and enjoy life and still pursue my happiness. Great timing for school, easy-to-use. So far so good. Homework is very easy and I feel like I'm at the class. Is more easier to use my home or hands on. It's just better for me, more quiet. I get to focus more and be home with my children who I love dearly and kiss all over my baby but also get my career in the meanwhile. I can still go to work. Great School. No complaints and will suggest and recommend it to my friends and my family.

It's a good website that offers educational resources for you be prepared. I like the reading resources and online textbook that is simple to learn. I also admire the work that is input because is very helpful in some case scenarios. However, the way it set up can be confusing, but is still benefit many people like my friends who are dedicated to the program in no circumstances that it offers.

Ashford University MBA is very good, I like all its network, and each of its branches. It helps me and my students to learn different types of things that are comfortable for daily life, each letter, each option is very important and for that reason I am in this online school. One of the experiences that I got with this school are the best that there can be. Since it is something online, from home where you can be lying in bed teaching. Everything is fine and everything is very well prepared in all aspects.

I do classes after work at night. Online schools are a good option, judging by some problems or careers that you cannot reach at your local home, nature or other things. It is really useful.

I am pleased with the entire online program. It has all of the essentials that I may need for learning. It is very self-explanatory and easy to navigate. My online portal has tabs to easily view my financial aid status, my payment accounts, and much more. If I need help of any kind it gives me a directory list of contact information to easily contact my advisors or teachers either via phone or email. The only thing that I would improve about the online program would have to be the layout arrangement of the online portal. For mobile users such as myself, who would rather do everything on my phone rather than computer, it is just a bit complicated. I have to zoom in most times to see where I am trying to navigate in the system. But my experience has been great so far. The staff at the institution are friendly and help tremendously to make sure I have everything I need to learn and succeed in my education.

I love that Ashford University is online so it gives me the freedom to make my own schedule, which is very helpful because not only am I a full time student I'm also a full time mom and employee. I love that my instructor is helpful and always there when I need some assistance. And no matter what time of day I always get a quick response. Overall it is the best educational experience I have ever had and I am able to do everything I need.

I love the amount of support that is given to the student body. You are given ample amounts of student tutoring and career advancement opportunities in this college. But maybe add a little educational support from the teachers. I always felt the they did not have enough for the students. The classes were always in such a rush. But my overall experience for the online portion was ok. I got the work done that I needed to and it ended up being a good decision on my part because it was pretty easy.

This school is a scam and it is all about money. I recently disenrolled from the university due to the cost. Out of nowhere, they raised the cost of my courses, tech fee, and material cost. 475 per credit and each course are 3 credits not including fees. Go somewhere else and save yourself time and money. The materials you pay for are a joke and a complete ripoff. If you fail a course be prepared to pay out of pocket because your loans will not cover it. If you are looking for a online school try Southern New Hampshire a nonprofit school.

Ashford University does a really good job of having the right courses for the MBA program that I am pursuing right now. The courses offered are always available for people who have busy schedules or have to work. They are very good at guiding you through the whole process in a very well mannered way. I have not had any problems whatsoever getting the help I have needed whenever I have needed it but I guess lowering the price would be great. But my overall experience has been excellent.

Being a mother to a 3 year old son and being pregnant with our second child, life can get pretty hectic. Between grocery shopping and doctor's appointments I only really have time to do school work late at night after my son goes to bed. Ashford University MBA really is the best option for me as a parent. I do not have to take time out of my day to attend class and I do not have to worry about coming up with gas money to drive to the campus. Also, I can do my school work in my PJs and not have to load my son into the car to go to school. However, I wish there was a live chat option available to be able to speak to professors in real-time whenever I need help on an assignment or need something explained further. There are scheduled live classroom sessions but I usually am not able to make them on time due to my hectic schedule. But overall, I absolutely love taking my courses online.

Ashford University MBA allowed me to get my masters degree while still working. It was important to me to continue to work so I could afford to go to school. It was very helpful to get my Masters this way. They were online, easy to take for specifically the degree that I was getting. The courses were good. The grading was fair, the instructors were fair and overall it was a good experience. The only thing I disliked about the program is that the school counselors never got back to me in a reasonable period of time. Instead of 24 hours I would get calls back sometimes 3 to 5 days later. I thought that was very unprofessional and sometimes I had to make important decisions about choosing classes.

While social media remains a popular way to connect with a peer, online forums create a way for students to mingle and discuss courses, assignments and other pertinent information. It also provides an extra outlet for students to get answers to questions from fellow students or their professors. Learning dashboards can offer primary and college students and teachers a way to better visualize progress through semesters.

One on one interactions with teachers with teachers and tutors inspires confidence and helps students have a better understanding.

I am writing in regards to the recent communication that I had with Ashford University concerning how I would be able to obtain my degree and at that time I was told that a balance of $758.50 was due before I would be able to receive my degree and that a refund $ 1431.00 was also to be issued. So, as instructed I paid the balance in full (758.00). However, Months after graduating and getting my degree in the mail I received a call and a letter most recently from the school and was told by a financial advisor that I had to pay $2861.00 and that my expected refund would not be given and there was not a valid reason given to support that decision. I have tried endlessly to obtain my degree from the institution and have had no success whatsoever.

My experience at Ashford has been positive. You have to work hard at online schools compared to brick and mortar colleges. The only concern is the cost of tuition is a bit high. Unfortunately in an online society, people generally will take to a website like this to complain because those that are satisfied do not take the time to discuss their experience. Each resin should judge their experience individual. Ashford may not be for everyone. It has an extremely quick pace. That is difficult for work life balance. However my experience after two years has been good.

In 2010 I was one class away from graduating. I was taking a math class. In the second week of class my work started getting low grades. I complain then it got worst. My advisor said speak to my instructor and I failed. I was registered for the class again but was not informed I was dropped from the class but charged half fee. My advisor signed me up a third time. I used the exact same work used in the previous time and passed with a B. Finally I was a graduate. Then I was slapped with a bill for 2400 and my official and unofficial transcripts were put on hold. Could not further my education and could not appeal. I found out that Ashford has been doing this to other students. I cannot attend another school without a transcript. How. Can they hold your unofficial transcript without allowing you to get a copy?

I am a former student of Ashford University -Bridgepoint Education. I attended online classes 2009-2012. I was deceived and lied to as well as taken advantage of financially. Ashford University obtained student loans for me while I was unemployed and could not afford them. I contacted the University the very first week of class and told them that I wanted to dis-enroll, I explained to them that this is just not a good time for me to be going to school. The student adviser that was assigned to me said even if I dis-enroll from school I am still going to be responsible for the entire student loan debt that was obtained for the Bachelor's degree program, this left me with no option but to continue on with School.

I enrolled with Ashford in 2012 and have been consistent with keeping my GPA at 3 points. Now with 2/12 classes left before graduating they are claiming I owe 7K... Every years the amount is different. I contacted FA in October of last year and asked for my balance because I planned to start paying the balance down by graduation. It was 3K in October now it's over 7K how am I supposed to pay that in 3 months with my grad date is in April.

When I decided to go to this school, I thought that this school was more credible than this. I received 96 credits from another school and I was told by the person who recruited me to this school that they will transfer 90 of those credits. They transferred them alright, they transferred them and made sure that I only got credit for 58 credits. When I asked why were the classes worth 2.67 and 1.87 when they were worth 3.00 credits in the other school they told me some bull about it being a difference between semester credits and quarter credits. Credits are credits. I am not paying for classes that I have already taken and past so that this school can receive more money from me. Now they have the nerve to push my graduation date back for the third time with no explanation and nothing had changed. If you are looking at the commercials and thinking this school is on the up and up run fast.
