    I love my experience with Ashford University. I went to TSU and I didn't finish my degree because they had no evening classes for me to finish my degree there. Because I ended up not getting my degree there and I didn't even need that many more credits to get my bachelor's, and so I didn't finish it because all the classes were in the day, and it was hard. I couldn't miss work. What I like about Ashford is I don't have to go to a class 'cause I don't have the time to do certain things.

    However, sometimes I feel like they gotta get too much done in a little bit of one week. I gotta get all these discussions done, which was fine, but then I got to respond to at least three people. Then if they respond to me, I gotta respond back 'cause there are some instructors that want you to respond back to the ones that respond to you. It was quite a bit of work. But if I have a problem, I can always email the instructor if I don't understand something, and they'll help me, which is really nice.

    Ashford University has the degree that I wanted. The enrollment went fine. Every advisor I had from enrollment to graduation was fantastic too. Because I’m a working adult, the convenience of being able to get my degree plus work full time was great. However, I had one teacher that was not good, was quite nasty as a teacher, as a person. I was older than he was. I’ve been working for a really long time and you don’t treat people like that. I called my academic adviser at the time and complained. Other than that one teacher, it was a great experience and I had a couple of really fantastic teachers that made up for the one jerk.

    My job offered the tuition for Ashford. During the enrollment, you have somebody on the phone that would walk you through the process. The teachers are very informative, detailed and definitely communicate with the students. They have the tutoring services and they have the paper reviews before you even turn your paper in. It was a great experience. I graduated and I received my BA this year.

    A fellow coworker attended Ashford University. I liked the ease of access, the length of the classes, and that they are federally accredited. I enrolled with them and the process was super easy. I told them I wanted to go to a particular degree program and there was a person that was in charge of helping me out. It was a very hands-off process for me and they actually had to do a lot of the stuff.

    There are some classes that I would have liked to have been eight weeks instead of six. But in turn, there are some classes that I wish would have been this six weeks classes instead of eight. The core classes could have been a little bit longer than the elective. But overall, everything was great. It's one of those things where you get what you put into it and it rewards the people for doing what they want to get out of the class.

    The professors were great too. It seems like they're all very well-experienced in the class that they were teaching and they're very accommodating. Being in the military and all of a sudden being deployed to Africa for eight months, the professors were willing to work and everything like that so I like them. I recommend Ashford to anyone that's looking to get their bachelor's degree that’s in the military.

    The company where I work for promotes employee development, which was how Ashford University was introduced to us. It was the company that Chase worked with to allow employees to continue their education with minimum financial impact to the employee. Based on that contract with Ashford University, I took a stab and said okay. I wanted to take a peek and see if I can enroll and complete my degree. I did not know anything about Ashford University but I read some of the reviews and how many students they have, what kind of degrees they offer, what you could do with that degree. All of that made me determined plus the financial contract with my workplace. They allowed us to complete the full four-year without any penny out of our pockets. Also, the main thing was convenience working from home. That was my first experience.

    I've been taking mostly traditional in-class just like anybody else. However, learning online takes a little bit more of self-esteem and confidence in making sure that you can do it. When I started the first class, I was very worried but the first course that they gave us was more of leading us to learn how to become your self-guide or how to know where to look for the answer. You're looking at the computer, you're in your own room and you're making your own decision. So you have to know to reach out to the professors. And every time I reached out, I would get the response within 24-hours, which was great. So, the professors were there when I needed them and that was a very positive experience.

    Out of 40 courses that I've taken, there are a few that had a different approach. We all have different ways on how we perceive and take different things. Some professors were more proactive and responded with a lot of directions to the students in their responses or some would just respond to everybody. Some professors were seldom in responding however, they were more proactive in pushing the students to do the job, to search for and to give them the answer. So, both ways, we gain as a student from the professors.

    Either they were more active and responsive to us and we learned from them or if they were more pushing and gave us more activities to do, we also gained. We have a goal to accomplish and it is up to us how we take the advantage of or how we understand the professors. We all have different perspectives and approaches and what matters is how we reach our destination. I met my goals and I reached my destination and that was because of the professors.

    I wanted to go back to school and pursue my bachelor's degree. But I didn't have time because I was also working full time to go to a college campus. So, I wanted something that was going to be flexible that would work with my work schedule and with my family too. I found Ashford and lo and behold, it worked out. The enrollment process was smooth and easy. My student advisor and all of my professors were great. My two years there were fantastic and I never ran into any problems. The classes are on fast track. A typical college course would take maybe three months to finish but we'd do it in five weeks. So, the course load is really intense and it's a lot to take in. But if you have the dedication and the mindset to do it, you can. Overall, Ashford University was great.

    It started off a little rough only because I'm an old guy who's starting over. Melissa was an amazing advisor who got me going through the military component. The only challenge I had throughout was the number of advisors I had over two years. It seemed like a lot of churn. I get used to one but then they were moving on. But it was pretty seamless. It really never caused an issue.

    This was kind of a bucket list item to finish up something I started 40 years ago. I literally went with the guidance and recommendation of the advisor and, for the most part, they were all great. All the classes were great. Some were easier than others and some were harder than others. The ecology course where you had to do lab work was a bit challenging. Instead of being in a classroom environment, I was doing it in my office and setting up ecosystems. But all the instructors were really good.

But I just emailed my work to the professor, and they were able to get it taken care of.

    Most of the professors are all right. In some classes, I wished the professor had done things a little differently. But that's how courses are structured anywhere.

It was like a traditional school where I got my associates. It was a two-year college and it was having to either go physically in the class or do the classes online. It was harder to retain stuff. But I loved doing one class at a time because I felt like I actually retained things and I was able to concentrate on one subject at a time. And since I already had my associates, I came in like half done. Also, I liked probably 90% of the professors. A lot of them were very attentive to answering questions and had good advice. They also gave good additional readings and information that was important to know based on the subjects.

    I had a choice of multiple schools and I picked Ashford because of the programs that was available. I enrolled in the early childhood education administration program. I had to go through my job first and then do Ashford. Enrolling was a fairly easy process and I had a good experience. I liked that the schedule was very flexible. Our professors were flexible as well. They were good professors.

    The only thing is that when you go through the process, you don't know if you're on the dean's list and you don't receive any accolades for having a high grade point average. It would be kinda helpful to know while you're going through the process that you're actually doing a good job to keep you motivated because you can kinda die out if you don't feel like you're doing something right. But I had a good experience with everything else.

    The recruiter said Ashford would be the lowest tuition. It ended up raising about three times in the three years that I was going to school there. But I suppose that was normal with the inflation. The enrollment was fairly easy. We had a lot of paperwork to fill out and I had a lot of unanswered questions. The first month was pretty rocky, as far as, I had to call back. It was more like I filled out my FAFSA and applied for loans that would cover it and then wouldn't cover it. So I needed a lot more clear up with that. I ended up doing a little bit of research on my own with the Department of Education.

    I love the online classes because it works with my schedule. We had a lot of online tests in websites. When I talked to professors, they seemed pretty knowledgeable. It was tedious at times because you didn't exactly get the one-on-one help because other professors are busy. But it paid off and I graduated last month.

    My learning experience with Ashford in the beginning was very, very challenging because I had been out of school for almost 30 years when I went back and had little knowledge of how to navigate through the platform. Some of the professors I really enjoyed and some I didn't. One professor in particular was racist. And I don't think that he liked my writing style. We had a big falling out to where I had to come out of the classroom. They refunded me my money, and I had to take the class all over again. So I lost three weeks of my time, which I don't like, but that's over with.

    I got into a new class and they rectified the issue. The women professors were emotional and asked for more. The men were easier. The men just graded your paperwork. I've been charged for transportation this whole time. And I don't know why I'm being charged for transportation. I went to school from home. I also question a few charges on the cost of my education.

    I was looking online for some degree. I already was looking to an institution but the liaisons didn't help me out as much as Ashford did. They were requesting several papers and documents and I sent them but I never hear back from them. I'm on T-Mobile's program tuition and I looked at the first institution that had the program that I was looking for. It happened to be Ashford. I submitted my information and in less than 10 minutes they gave me a call and the experience was amazing. The enrollment has been easy and amazing, like what took me like almost three weeks to get accepted on the other institution, I did it in less than a week.

    One of the things I would have liked is being able to take additional courses at a time, not one-by-one. I would just recommend them to offer two classes for students in case somebody needs it. Other than that, all of the instructors are willing to work with students. I only had one bad experience with one instructor. He accused me of plagiarism and it was not even 28% of similarities and most of them, there was a whole page of reference. I guess he didn't consider that.

    I liked that Ashford was accredited, the initial evaluation, and the level of support that the program itself had. Enrolling was fairly simple. I graduated in high school in ’88, so I hadn’t taken a class in 28 years. I had been out of the classroom for that period of time. It was difficult for me to acclimate, but I thought that the way Ashford had the classes set up was to get you acclimated. So, from the first couple of classes, everything was writing so it got you acclimated to writing and to using the libraries. The first few classes got you using all of the things that were available. I was a better student my last year than I was my freshman year.

    My learning experience was great. There are limitations because you’re doing everything online. So, it’s a different type of learning experience. It could be challenging. Some people learn better in the classroom. You have to make that adjustment. For example, I had to take two math classes. I struggled with those, and I had to use the online tutors. But Ashford had online tutors. So, it was challenging, but I made it through. Ashford really did have everything in place. So, it made it easier, and you have to put time in. I struggled the times that I didn’t. I’m balancing my full time job, and then I'm a full time husband, full time parent, and then sometimes, I left school for last.

    Ashford's professors were really good. Some were more challenging than others. I found that, for the most part, the professors that had PhDs or were doctors were even more demanding. You could get a 4.0 on your discussion. The professors that had PhDs and doctorates might give you a 3.8. They were much more aggressive with their scoring. They expected more. It depended on the class though.

    The biggest thing is not knowing what to expect. Coming back to a classroom after almost 30 years, I thought that Ashford really had all the support things in place to get you acclimated to the classroom again, and did have all the different support mechanisms in place to be successful. Now, you have to use the different tutors. I got kids in college and some of those things aren’t available to them at that level, but Ashford has every single thing in place, from the libraries to the online tutors. If you work the program kinda thing, there’s no reason why you would fail.

    You have to put your time in there and in your papers because everything is writing. So, each week, I built upon the following week. If I kept my grade high enough, at the end, I knew how hard I had to work to maintain my grade. I finished with a 3.6. Overall, it was a great learning experience for a returning student. Ashford is set up for any type of student, but for a working professional that wants to get a degree at the same time, it was kinda set up perfectly for that.

    I was just doing an internet search and found Ashford. The online classes were the primary thing that appealed to me and when I talked to them, they said that the way they do it, they do one class at a time because they do accelerated. So, it’s six weeks versus three months, which was cool. You had to deliberately set up your classes though to have breaks in between because you do six weeks of one class and immediately start the next class. So, that was kinda hard, but it was good.

    I was happy with everybody and there was an adviser that they assign to you if you had issues or questions. She was accessible and I didn’t have to wait days for her to call me back. If I didn’t get her immediately, she would call me back within a day. If you have a question or a problem, it’s because you need help then, rather than 48 hours later. So, she was always there. It’s a great online college for people that work full-time and have a busy life. They have it very streamlined and it’s very clear when your assignments are due, so you can plan your time. With people that has a family, you need to be able to do that.

    I liked Ashford's five-week courses. I met my student adviser, they walked me through the application portions, and then once I got on there, I was assigned another student adviser to help me out with classes and getting my classes enrolled. Learning through Ashford was challenging. It got way more challenging towards the end but it was good. I liked the courses. The professors were knowledgeable. All my instructors were pretty much helpful. I did the harder classes that had those video tutorials on how to solve the formulas and stuff that would help out a lot more. The help I got was pretty good. It was pretty consistent.

    My experience with Ashford was exciting. I didn’t know which college I’d be going to and what my degree I would be choosing for. So, meeting different people and having a lot of other friends that went to Ashford kinda kept me going through that one. And throughout my process there, I’ve also recruited a lot of people to come to Ashford, and they all have enjoyed it. Not one person hasn’t liked it. It was a good experience.

    My sister was attending Ashford. I was working full-time and once I looked into it, it seemed like something that I would have time to do as far as being online. The enrollment process was easy and it wasn’t complicated. Everything was explained well. They gave me a print size information that I could just look up and sent me emails to make a choice.

    Some classes were a challenge but all of them were very interesting. There was a lot of interaction with the course program and it required focusing and studying, but it wasn’t too bad. It was a great learning experience. It was a great opportunity for me and I'm glad that I chose Ashford. Having a child and being a single mom and a full-time worker, it was one of the best choices I made. I never had a bad experience with any of my professors so everything was awesome. One of the classes like the Anatomy class was an online class. It felt so hands-on. It was a great experience with that class.

    I'm happy and I will and I have recommended a few friends to Ashford. I advise anyone who wants to further their education that Ashford will be the school. I learned a whole lot.

    I liked Ashford's scheduling. Their pricing is confusing though. I can't get a breakdown of how they're charging each class per semester. When they show you a breakdown, it's just the class fee and materials fee. When I look at my FAFSA stuff, it's showing housing and transportation fees and all of those other stuff that they're turning into FAFSA but it's not showing up on my side on the details. Last year they charged like $8,000 in housing when I turned in my FAFSA, but that doesn't show up on any of their detailed report. I asked, "So, why am I paying for housing if I'm not staying there, it's an online class?" But I couldn't get a straight answer. I've tried to call several people and they were just like, "Well, just go on the document, and it'll show you."

    The learning was great. I struggled a lot on the last class that I did because there were 200 pages per week to read plus all those extra, the discussions and the assignments. But I was able to do it. It just took up every bit of my time. I was freaking out at the end and stressing badly. The course material was great though. It was very detailed.

    I kinda had an issue with the accounting classes just because accounting is completely opposite of what you would normally do during a day with your own finances. It doesn't really show both sides of the situation. So, when you have your liabilities and revenue, it only shows one side of the material. It doesn't show that you're supposed to cross-reference that with the other side to balance. It was a little hard to follow. It's all opposite. Everything they do is completely opposite of what we think they would do. I went to one of my accountants and said, "Please explain this to me. I don't get it." After he explained it to me, I was able to get through it and do it.

    One other big thing I had an issue with is I had an instructor that would not give me feedback and would not explain why he was giving me the grades he gave me. I eventually dropped the class. That was the only class I dropped to this whole degree because I just couldn't get any answers. I also felt that his grading was generic. I reached out to my advisor and didn't really get any good answers.

    Hi Nicholas. Thanks for reaching out. In regard to housing and transportation fees, those are items that we must list but they will not show on your actual student ledger card. You can find a breakdown of your finances by payment period, or academic year, but logging into your portal, clicking on My Finances, and then Student Ledger Card. The Student Account Info option can be confusing, so we recommend you look at the Student Ledger Card. We'd be happy to have an advisor reach out to review your ledger card.

My enrollment advisor for the bachelor's course really helped me and she contacted me along the way after my first online learning class. I had a 3.91 after my bachelor's and 4.0 after my master's. So, they helped me along the way. They were really cool to help out.

That was the kind of way it was when I read it. I talked to a representative and they went beyond to help me and to explain things to me, ‘cause it had been years since I've been to school.

    The enrollment experience was easy because I had a good adviser who helped me, and she would call to remind me of things that I needed that I still had to have, like my transcript and things like that. My academic adviser was wonderful and that was why I wanted to come back and get my major. I also liked all the instructors. They're very knowledgeable. Ashford got some instructors that are more detailed in discussions and things. They keep the critical thinking not only in discussions, but they'd ask a question also. It's kinda like a conversation. Everybody was very helpful. I love the one I got right now.

    The material was challenging, which was good because it kept me hungry for knowledge and interested in digging into things. I learned so much about myself. I took a course and it talked about what kind of learner you were. I had never thought about there are different learners. I came out to be a dynamic learner, so that was pretty good.

    While I was still in the military, I was looking at enrolling. Then I went on hiatus, and then I ended up retiring. I got around to enrolling after I retired. I was working a full-time job. Online schooling was easier than having to drive somewhere other than home and sit through night school. It was easier and more comfortable to sit at home and be able to get most of my work done than have to sit in a traditional classroom.

    The enrollment with Ashford was simple. Any questions I ever had, I had a whole plethora of people that I could call. I never had any issues other than I wasn’t able to get a book within a day or so of the class starting. But it resolved itself very quickly. As far as the learning experience, the content was good. I don’t really have anything negative to say about the professors. Each one answered all of my questions. They were very professional. I made sure that when the time came to submit surveys, I put my name on a lot of the surveys too so that people could see exactly who’s saying what. That way, those instructors and those professors could see that there’s some value from a 42-year-old guy like myself taking something away from them. There were quite a few that were younger than me that had a wealth of knowledge about things that I had no idea. All in all, it was good.

The enrollment process was easy. I like my enrollment advisor. He made it simple for me. Ali, my academic advisor, she was really nice. Those are my two go-to's. But having a two-day gap between courses would be very helpful. Going course-to-course without one day in between was crazy and hard. I don't even get why it was set up like that. You finish your final, which took forever, and then the very next day, you have to post your introduction for the next course.

    Also, there should be more advice from financial advisors. I didn't know that my finances were supposed to be explained to me, but that was never done. Whenever I called financial aid advisors, they didn't have any info for me. It would have been way more helpful to know what was going on with my finances. I was really happy with everything until the very end when I found out that my finances weren't being taken care of. It was a whole big mess for four months and it wasn't handled properly.

    Ashford is there to help accommodate our lives along with college and move forward. There are times when you cannot control life. But going through my master’s, it was harder to get that understanding or compassion from the professors. There were more professors that were like pushing me back down and saying, “Just deal with it,” versus, “Okay, how can we work through this?” I wouldn’t be locking myself into that type of funding and repayment plan and all that if it was not important to me.

    There were times that even with all my knowledge and psychology background, I wanted to reach through my computer and just shake them and go, “I am not your first-year student trying to lie my way through.” But then I also had to step back because there were still people who would find every excuse in the book to not do something, which hurts those of us who really do, at times, just need to step back when we are overwhelmed and needed help.

    I only did one professor review that I put my concerns because the professor was very adamant and not pliable and not negotiable at all. It crushed me. I did the course and it was one of my lower grades that sent my whole GPA down for the whole semester because I barely got through. But I’ve had a couple of professors that were amazing, and had they not been, I wouldn’t have finished my degree. I got a decent, wonderful professor the next course because she was the only reason I finished my master’s. With that respect, everything else went great. I liked the program. Thank you Ashford.

    I work for Cox Automotive, and at the time I heard about Ashford, I was at a leadership conference in 2018 in Las Vegas. A colleague of mine who also graduated from Ashford, mentioned she had some homework to go do. I’m said, “What are you talking about, homework? We’re in Las Vegas.” She was working on her master’s degree and she mentioned Ashford University. She said, “You should look into it because Cox paid for it.” So, when I got back from that trip, I went into our Cox Automotive website, pulled the information for Ashford, and got in touch. I enrolled because I needed two years left to finish my degree. And as long as I chose Ashford and maintained a C average or above, Cox Automotive paid for everything out of pocket first so I didn't have to pay first and then get reimbursed. They paid all of it upfront. So, it was an incredible benefit to take advantage of.

    Unfortunately, they’ve suspended the program through the COVID. I was enrolled in the master’s program, so that’s been suspended until next year. But the instructors that I worked with were great. The students were great. The course material was really good. There were times that I was challenged to the point where I just wanted to quit because I felt like I couldn't get through the classes. I would reach out to other students or the instructors for help, and the feedback and the assistance I got were amazing.

    My last class was like statistics on steroids and I was like, “Oh my gosh. I have no idea how to do any of this.” I was emailing with a guy named Brian. He was not even my adviser, but I was emailing with him about the master’s program and I started talking to him about this class that I was in. I said, “I think I have to drop. I can’t do this. This class is too hard.” He actually helped me stick with it and stay in that last class to finish and graduate. He didn't even have to help me. He wasn’t my adviser, but he gave me some resources to look for, some YouTube videos to look at, and it was amazing.

    The enrollment process was really easy. The most difficult I had was just getting my manager to sign off on the document that they needed. But as far as registering for classes and getting the tuition set up, it was a breeze. I didn't struggle with it at all. There was one instructor early on that wouldn’t respond back to emails, but it was one experience with one instructor and it wasn’t a super difficult class. Every other instructor that I had the two years I was there were amazing. Ricky was my last instructor for my last class. He was a very good and very knowledgeable instructor.

    It was a really great program. It was a great experience. I liked that the classes were five weeks and then you could go to the next one, so you didn't feel like, “Oh my God. I’m gonna be in school until I’m dead.” You knew there was an end date. It was only five weeks to get through the class versus a traditional 16-week class where you’re just like, “This is stupid. I’m out.” Knowing that, “Okay, I’ve only got two weeks left in this class. I can do this,” really was motivational because you knew you’re gonna get through it and then that next class is gonna start and it’s gonna go fast. I had talked to a couple other colleagues that enrolled in the program. Unfortunately, their classes were suspended. But a couple of my coworkers had enrolled simply because of me talking to them, telling them to take advantage of this program.

They acknowledged the excitement in my voice and how they were gonna help me reach my goal. They were with me every step of the way.

    I've got two degrees through Ashford, a bachelor's and a master's. Even though my academic advisor would change from time to time, they would still always reach out and just check on me and see how things are going and emails of what would be next. Communication is big especially when you're doing it online because you're not seeing people face-to-face. The fact that I'm in Texas and they're in California makes a huge difference. So a simple email of updates and assurance goes a long way.

    I loved the scheduling at Ashford University. I like that I can set my schedule and do it at my convenience. Sometimes, I thought things were hard because I would have two things due on one day. I've been out of school for a long time, and it was difficult for me to get back in the groove at first. Regardless, the professors there were good. I could get in and ask them questions. They were really helpful and got me through school. Some of them even leave their phone number. I didn't understand something one time and I telephoned one of them. I enjoyed my Ashford experience.

    I had friends that were taking classes at Ashford. You fall into a pattern knowing what’s coming because it’s usually the same stuff, like discussion questions due on Thursday and then responses due on Monday. So, you can plan your life around that because it seems to be fairly frequent. Communication was good. The professors definitely knew what they were talking about. You could tell that some of the professors were burnt out. On a discussion post, you could just find their name by doing control F and it would be six responses on each one. I guess six is what they’re required to do. So, it seems on some of the classes, the instructors just put in the minimum that they had to do.

    But every now and then, you would get a professor you could tell would ask you challenging, critical questions, and really made you think. And sometimes, my responses to those professors would take me longer than the actual discussion post. I need to answer their question because it’s not just a cookie cutter question that they had saved up. They actually read my post and asked me a challenging question. I hated those professors, but I appreciated them.

    The cost seemed reasonable. I only have so much tuition assistance that I can use every year and I came to a point where either I would have to pay on my own or take a break. The schedule was so grueling but I'm in a pattern so I paid for the classes and kept moving. Ashford University is not for everybody. Some people like the 8 weeks or 10-week long classes, like to do multiple classes at the same time. It fit my schedule and I was able to get into that rhythm and go so it fit me perfectly. Over the long haul, it takes a toll, but the experience was good.

    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.

    The learning experience with Ashford was well. I learned a lot from being out of high school. I graduated in 1999, so completing through Ashford off and on within these last four years definitely was an eye-opener for new processes of things and how school and education are currently. So it was definitely very up-to-date and overall informative.

    I was a little apprehensive about the online experience. But the availability of the teachers was really the turning point for the courses. That made everything a little better with my online experience. They were always very upfront with the courses and the expectations. If you ever had any issues, they were always there to help us through those things. The instructors were very helpful for the most part. They took the time out to provide guidance in any of the worksheets and things like that.

    The difference between graduating from 1999 to today, just the process of using technology in the manner that they do because when I graduated, it was not as easy to access as it is now. My degree is in education studies. I enjoyed the diversity course that we did. It was something about the diverse learners and how to better educate those with, not only learning disabilities but also with language barriers and certain things like that. The curriculum now teaches at the level of the student, instead of making the student reach a certain level. That’s an important change from when I went through school. It takes into account how the student learns and makes sure that the teacher can have that diversity in the curriculum for each student, and that you get a more personable education.

The only thing I had was that you could not miss more than five weeks of school. If so, you get dropped from the university. There was a time where I had a lost a family member, and I tried to take two months off, but I wasn’t able to due to the policy.

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.

You could tell that they had extensive background knowledge on what they were teaching. I had one professor who was not as forgiving as other professors. But of course, that’s based on preference.

    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.

    As far as the classes went, I felt that it was quick-paced but good. You kinda know where everything stood. What made a greater challenge was kind of once the structure of the classes ended, going into the dissertation courses was a little less structured. It created a little bit more of a frustration because it was just trying to determine who I should talk to and where do I go for this.

    I have an adviser and getting that established was also a challenge only because of the transfer. But I was happy with my adviser. He kept a lot of contact which was wonderful. But it was just who do I contact with a question for something. There was some confusion about that and the general process. I wish that was a little bit more structured like the class was.

    Otherwise, all my experiences with the professors were very good and they were always willing to help. As I got into the later stages, they were pretty quick on returning everything. In the early stages in Rockies, I had one where I had a lack of response from one. But that was clarified through the adviser. They’ve got information on that. That was the only one that was a little annoying. But the rest went pretty well.

    The pressure’s always been to help the structures of the school. There should be just a little more clarification on what's due and when just to speed that process along. I got kind of hung up on a couple of university policy things. That was part of the transition as well. Every time I would call up, they couldn't find me and I would have to tell them that I was a Rockies student and I was under some other system.

    The whole reason why I really chose the program was that it was the official PhD in Education which is actually more difficult to find than I realized. A lot of them are the EdDs. I like the research end like conducting the actual research and producing the paper that was original. And it being a PhD program allowed me to focus more on the research of my own than go through and kind of copy something else or read other researchers. Not that I didn't do that, but having that freedom to be able to choose my own project, conduct my own research, and publish work was what I was really looking for. Ashford/University of the Rockies was one of the few PhD programs in education that I could find online.

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.

    So, I backed out already, but I had an officemate who said, “Let me get you another advisor who can work with you to make this work better.” And I worked with that advisor and I had to get those documentations that they requested. So, it was like me asking someone else from a different country, like, “Can you go to this school, make sure that they give you this certain certification. Send me an email of it and mail it to me and so on and so forth.” It was a very tedious process. That advisor was good, and I recommended him to another one.

    With the scheduling of the assignments on a masteral program, at first, it was like, “Why can I not have two courses? This is too easy.” But with so many paperwork and having two or three assignments in a week, it has been gruesome. At one time, on one week, you had to read 200 pages. For a full-time working person like me, it had been hard to balance that one. And if I didn’t follow through my schedules and my desire to finish it, I would have not finished it because my goal was that I wanted to finish it in 17 months. But we had winter breaks and one time there was no professor, so it got extended to 19 months. Still, I have learned a lot.

    What I liked amongst every course that I had to take was the MBA Capstone because it was a good stimulation of how real business works, and it was crazy. It was challenging too. The only thing about that was because I was using hotspot, I got interrupted with my connection with one transaction that I was doing, so I lost that transaction and lost 75 grand on that one. That would have been the income of the company that I was working for.

    So, it mattered a lot because that Capstone had specific goals, by which you have a committed profit for the company. So, I had a goal, and not meeting that meant that, as a manager, you were not meeting your commitments to your company. I still met my goal, but it was short because of that transaction that I had to haggle with because of connections disappearing. So, it was like a back and forth help desk thing and that they had to reset my connections so that I could gain because that involved a roleplay and if you missed that roleplay, then you were not going to be able to go through the roleplay again, and that roleplay meant inputs needed for your company to survive a certain transaction.

    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.

    When you study at Ashford, you get what you put in. I read my textbooks, I did the discussion posts, and I prepared the assignments. Everything was very pertinent to what I was learning, so I saw it as a very positive experience. And from my understanding, the professors were prior students. So, they were very relatable in the discussion posts and in giving feedback on assignments. They were also very down-to-earth and my conversations with them were like very typical conversations I would have with somebody who was teaching me something. All in all, I love going to Ashford and I'll probably be going back there for a second degree.

    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 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.

    They also made my enrollment very easy. On the first initial voice contact that I had over the phone, I talked to their rep about getting information on the degree program and how it worked. Then, I told her that I would think about it. She gave me a couple days and she called me back. She was very patient and very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions right away, too. It wasn’t like she had to check on them and she had all the answers that I needed. She walked me through how to submit for student loans and grants, and she sent me all that information through email. Anything I’d ask for, she would send me links to it and how to set it up. She was really good.

    So far, I’ve already graduated and gotten my diploma. The first two years were spent going through all the general education courses and were very simple. I took a lot of English and Math courses, and it felt a little bit like being back in high school again. So that was easy for me. Then once I got through the general education courses, I started into my degree courses where I did a supply chain management degree. I work in manufacturing and when I started, I was a purchasing buyer. Then I changed positions halfway through getting my degree and it was really interesting for me. I really enjoyed it when I would recognize things that I was learning and I could apply them at work. So, it was an excellent experience.

    But on the last week of every course, there was a final paper where you would apply what you learned in the five-week course. So, I wasn’t prepared for the writing and I don’t consider myself a very good writer. I really struggled with that in the beginning as well as with having to meet the requirements on how many words and pages you should have. But by the end of my four years, I was much better at it and I didn’t struggle as much. So, maybe if they could prepare the students in advance on what those final papers would look like, it might help. Other than that, the way that Ashford is set up with the five-week courses and how you do it is perfect for somebody who’s working.

Between deployments and everything, I was able to get the schooling done and continue going to work without many issues.

    I had to take leave occasionally to get the work done, but that’s expected. I was still able to complete everything while I was deployed. We still had computer access and everything. Any time I felt like I was going to have any kind of issues, I would let my instructors know, or sometimes I have to let them know on the backend if we would do the next of kin notifications. They would lock down communications of the base so we have no outgoing messages and without notice, I couldn’t let my instructors know. But I would still be able to say, “Hey, I know I missed that assignment yesterday. It’s because we had no internet connection.” And they worked with me and prevented any lost points.

    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've had some professors that were freaking phenomenal, specifically in my financial planning classes. I was able to email and communicate with some teachers often and asked them, not necessarily about what we were doing in class, but about their profession and financial advising, which was really cool. I've also had some teachers who you can tell were just passing people who do it. They need to be a little bit more stringent. I know that there is a rubric that they grade off of and I am almost positive that they only grade off of that rubric. Grammatical errors should be taken into effect.

    I am currently in my MBA program at Ashford. And one of the discussion posts that I was reading last night really bothered me. It was something extremely small, but I don’t like grammatical errors, especially when they're being typed out. Especially if you're in a master’s program, grammatical errors should have dissipated a long time ago. There also some terrible differences in spelling. I had seen that a lot in my bachelor’s classes and sometimes, I was thought, "Am I actually getting a legitimate education?” It seemed like anybody that went through Ashford University was gonna pass whether they could communicate properly or speak effectively. I also did it purposely in a post to see if I would get away with it, and I did.

    I almost went through a different school for my master’s program. The only reason that I did not was because it was too difficult to switch everything over to another school and I wanted to start my master’s program immediately. So, I took a month break and I got back in. I don’t think the degree is any less than any other degree, but I think that people go to Ashford University for handouts. There are a lot of handouts there. I know for a fact that I have written papers that should have been Cs but got As on because I was very lazy with it. I did the bare minimum and I got As on it because I met the rubric. I've told people that Ashford University has a great program. But I know that those people are gonna work their butts off and do what they need to do. They're there to learn, not just to say, “I got a college degree.”

    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 got my Communications degree with Ashford. We had five week-long classes where instead of semesters, we were taking five classes at a time over three or four months. It was one class at a time every five weeks with just crammed information. I really liked that because I only had to focus on one class and there was no excuse to let anything fall behind. My favorite thing about it was I went from doing semester-long classes and taking three or four at a time and I would just give myself the excuse like I needed to focus more on this class and not on that class. But when I just had one at a time in five weeks, it took out any excuse. My only critique would be Ashford is expensive. But that is the price you have to pay to have a schedule like that. Everything else was perfect.

    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.

    I had read a couple of online reviews complaining about Ashford and I tried to see if there's anything that I'm missing, but I've never had any learning experience at Ashford that I have not liked. The way that I learn is by participating in the discussions and by reading the textbook on my own. Overall, I had a very positive experience with all the learnings.

    Also, it's useful to understand just how important it is to have a reliable computer and internet connection because there were a lot of people early on who seemed like they had a computer just at a library that they could visit once a week and they didn’t understand. You have to be tech-literate enough to understand how to create word documents, check emails, and log on and stuff like that. I know there were a couple of people early on who were so tech-illiterate that they wrote everything in caps lock. Some people ended up not understanding how to take advantage of such a tech-based class or tech-based system. I would recommend brushing up on computer literacy and there's a computer literacy course pretty early on in the prerequisite that will be taken.

    I wouldn’t recommend Ashford to some people who are trying to go for a nursing degree or something like that because it would probably differ from a traditional campus. But based on my actual experience, I would always recommend it to somebody who wants to learn more about something that they don’t need to practice with a traditional campus.

    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.

    I took it on the chin and I told my student adviser that I didn't even care. I'm out of that class and it didn't affect my GPA. I'm ready to move on. I just think that he's not that great of an instructor. During that time, there was an email that went out between some of students and they were saying that they tried so hard and did everything he told them. They put their references down and they didn’t know what else they could do. I didn't either because I was in the same boat they were. We were trying and we were not getting anywhere. The student adviser said I was not the first one that said anything about that specific professor or instructor. But the rest of the professors were great. One out of four years was not that bad at all.

    The learning experience was beneficial and it has helped me a lot now where I work as well as outside of work. It made me more responsible because you don't have a teacher or anybody standing over your shoulder. You have to get the work done on your own and it helped me grow as a person. I started in 2016 in January and I was done January of 2020. I lost my dad last year on August 12th and it was hard coming back because him and I, were my big support system. So when he was gone, it took a little bit to get back into the groove. My instructor was great about it. I lost my father on Thursday and on Monday, I turned in my final assignment. My instructor was surprised I didn't take two weeks off. She was gonna suggest putting in a leave of absence. I was trying to get everything rounded up for his funeral and trying to get my feet back underneath me was a big part of it.

    If there were more schools and colleges that worked as well as Ashford did with me, there would be a lot more people that would attend school. People need to know there is a school like Ashford out there that will hold you accountable. It's not bad. When my computer broke, I sent one of my instructors a message and I said I was trying and she told me to do the work when I could. I found that as long as I was respectful towards them and I tried to be as respectful as possible, they would always reciprocate it back to me. They understood where I was coming from and I was doing the best I could. They got me and it was no big deal. That was great for me because I had switched jobs and even then, the instructors congratulated me on the new job. They told me to let them know if I needed anything. They would do what they could to help me.

    It was a very good experience and I would recommend Ashford to others. When I left high school, I had a 2.8 GP and when I graduated Ashford, I graduated with a 3.6. I owe a lot of that to the instructors because they were always there when I needed something and if it wasn't the instructors, it was my academic adviser or I always had somebody that I could reach out to and talk to.

    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 said it was too long between when I dropped the course and when I was able to get help, even though I was in contact with them and their student advocate and my advisor the entire time explaining that I had to wait for insurance and for time to open up with an authorized councilor. So now I am having to deal with the added financial burden because if them, but this story gets better. My first class back I got a professor who was so disinterested that she could not even be bothered to edit her tests or respond to her students. When I tried to contact the University for help I was told to try emailing her again, because that worked so well. Naturally I failed that class abysmally, which really fed into the depression that I was trying to get over. The next class was failed because it took everything in me to open my laptop because I was in such a bad mental place.

    I finally got into a course that I was loving, but still struggling through with my depression, when my laptop crashed and destroyed my final essay. I begged my professor to let me turn it in late and the answer was that she had already recorded my grade and that it was just too bad. This meant three failed courses in a row. So, I could understand an academic probation or a suspension. But no. It was an automatic dismissal meaning that not only can I not graduate from Ashford I can't go to any other college either. I am 12 credits from graduating with three years on the Dean's list and I cannot graduate because of my depression? Seriously. I can appeal the decision, but it will take eight weeks, and after two weeks of being unenrolled I lose all of my financial aid. Ashford is great if you are a mentally sound and stable individual who does not have to deal with extenuating circumstances. But if life happens to you, I'd advise going to a different school.

    Hello, Rebecca. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. An online degree from Ashford University does not lead to immediate teacher licensure in any state. We recommend that students' contact their state's education authorities prior to enrolling at Ashford to determine what state-specific requirements they must complete before obtaining their teacher's license. Ashford graduates will be subject to additional requirements on a state-by-state basis that will include one or more of the following: student teaching or practicum experience, additional coursework, additional testing, or, if the state requires a specific type of degree to seek alternative certification, earning an additional degree. None of Ashford's online education programs are CAEP*, TEAC or NCATE accredited, which is a requirement for certification in some states. That said, we certainly want every student to have a positive experience. We would recommend that you get in touch with our Student Resolution Center by giving them a call at 866.974.5700, ext. 20091 or submitting your concern by visiting: http://bit.ly/2n8V1OC.

    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.

    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.

    You could tell that some of the professors were there and had plugged in something at one point and just kept it year after year and others had spent some time coming up with current relevant information. But overall, they were good. I got a master’s in healthcare administration. It was a pretty good program and I was satisfied with it.

    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.

    Fast-paced, thorough, and very inclusive. A lot of the times, I felt that the more I participated in class, the more I took from it and better positive feedback I received from the instructors. I ended up taking 13 classes at Ashford University but I only had 1 where I didn’t quite see eye-to-eye with the professor. So, that learning experience wasn’t all that great. But everybody else was very knowledgeable in their field, very communicative, and all around just helpful because they understood that it is a fast-paced, accelerated course, and they wanted to make sure we succeeded.

    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.

    Though their pricing was flexible, it was not competitive especially when you're talking graduate degrees. I could go to a Division 1 university for cheaper than go to Ashford. I also like the old classroom better. The new classroom sucked. There would be a bunch of times where I'd be three quarters away through a discussion, accidentally hit the back button and it loses everything, whereas in the old system, it would retain my discussion post. So then, I'd end up starting over. But it's easy to navigate. The schedule's good and the material and the content were fitting.

    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 had a professor for a literature class who repeatedly had spelling and grammar errors in her feedback. And if you asked her for clarification about anything she posted within the classroom and in personal emails, you'd get no response. She would also criticize other students within the classroom and not privately, which was inappropriate. If it was something that they did wrong, that should've been handled privately and not within the public discussion forum for all the rest of us to see. I had two or three professors like her. And when I complained to my adviser, nothing was done. Also, at the end of every class, we have to take an anonymous survey and there's an entire section asking about the professors. But not enough attention is paid to our responses.

    However, the rest of the professors was absolutely amazing. They had live office hours were you could log on to a live chat with them. They gave their personal contact information for outside of office hours if you needed them in the evening because they know that we aren't all online during the day. Most of us were working full-time jobs and were online at about 9 o'clock at night doing homework. Some of us were pushing it right up until the 11:59 mark when you had until midnight to turn it in. Most of the professors were really understanding. And if you needed an extension, they would work with you as long as you gave them notice. For the most part, I would recommend Ashford University.

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.

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.

    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.

    I asked them multiple times on certain formatting things. Some teachers would take points, and some teachers wouldn’t, and I would say, “Can I please get an explanation on what the points were taken for?” They would say I couldn't and that I should follow the formatting, and they would never give me specifics. I carried an A throughout the entire program, but anytime I would ask any type of a question regarding grading, they were extremely combative. One told me to read the course textbook when there was no course textbook. I said, “There’s no course textbook here.” He said, “Okay, well, just keep reading the course textbook.” It was very frustrating to deal with.

    I went through a traditional four-year college for my undergrad, and I did this because it was free. But unless it’s free, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to do these programs. Ashford has good content though. There were a lot of the books that I felt were good academic quality, but it’s very much what you make out of it. It’s just not very engaging and not like a traditional college experience. It’s very much self-paced, read the book, type up some papers, and turn them in.

    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.

    Ashford should do a little bit better at making sure the students are actually obtaining knowledge and not just going on the internet, finding sources and stuff to write a paper off. I felt like that in my bachelor’s degree too. They put out this basic syllabus, “do this.” Then, for instance, I didn’t really understand the assignment in one of my classes. All they did was just copy the syllabus and sent it to me. That’s not teaching me anything. I could have read that. They need to be a teacher and teach.

    When in an online class, they should offer something other than what they just copy and paste every week, for every class. The teachers should be more involved with actually teaching something, like actually doing videos or going over the material. I’ve been to another online school before and the teacher taught the whole time. We just took tests. I'm paying over $2000 a course for six weeks and I expect to be taught. There has to be some level of teaching the student as well, not just putting up the information, and then, “You're doing great.” If they do a voiceover or a PowerPoint, they can keep that going. But it should be a little bit more than whatever they write for that week in a syllabus. I knew teachers were doing it because one of the classes I did got 2017 on it. This is 2019 and they should at least change the date. If nothing else, pretend that they're catering that class. That’s my only gripe.

    But I liked the ease of use of Ashford because I knew what I was getting. I didn’t have to go through much. I decided I wanted to do school, they set me up, and I started the next week. It was no drama. I knew my schedule and it was guaranteed. Every once in awhile, there was a class that was just a little bit different, but I was able to plan my daughter’s activities around my school schedule. I was also able to plan my job around it. It was definitely worth it for that part.

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 a problem with the operations management professor while I was there. He has a template for the final project. I did everything and uploaded it based on his instructions. I sent him an email and say that I was trying to get a similarity match. I ran it through a system to check for plagiarism. Since he said to use the template, I asked for clarification first. I told him to verify with me if everything was okay since it was going off his template.

    I thought he was gonna clarify that for me, but he graded the paper instead, knowing full well what I've already told him in advance. When he did that, it irritated me badly. Then I noticed that he went back changed his guidance and instructions. I spent a lot of time and energy on the paper. And I'm military so sometimes I do these papers at around 2 o'clock in the morning. Then I gotta get up in the morning and go to work.

    When I went online to look up the professor lookup, people felt the same exact way about him. He was condensing, rude, and sarcastic. He might not be a person Ashford wants representing them, especially since they have become a popular school among military members. I indicated all of this to Ashford and I talked to my student adviser. I was said that I was just gonna be a straight-A student the whole time and this time, I was just gonna choose to lie about everything.

    Word travels fast and when people are trying to get an education, people wanna know what's their best option. People who are in a position of leadership, like myself, could influence or suggest to people where to go to. They stood by him and said asked what was the big deal. I said that that was beside the point. It's called integrity. It irritated me that they allowed that to happen, even though I submitted all the evidence and feedback. You wanna look up professors in advance on the professor lookup to see who you'd be dealing with. That way, you know what level of feedback and engagement, as well as what type of learning experience you're probably gonna get.

    Also, I want to see a project that incorporates all of the curricula that you have for that degree. One of my friends told me that for their bachelor's and their master's program, they worked on real projects that gave real hands-on experience. Other than that, the learning experience is engaging and makes you think outside the box in a lot of ways, especially with your class.

Well, let’s do this.” Then, when I graduated with my Master’s, one of my friends graduated with her Bachelor’s and so I got her involved too.

    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.

    My advisors were off the hook too, and Brian was phenomenal. I would email him with probably some of the stupidest questions on the planet and I’d have my answer 5 minutes later or he would know who to send me to. If I called, he answered. He also would, out of blue, email me and say, “Hey, how are things going?” And so, that keeps me going. I also had Kimberly, before him for my bachelor’s, and she was the same way. She was phenomenal.

    The only thing I found the hardest for the entire thing was the waiting period to get the first grade back so I would know what direction to go in the class. Most teachers would get the grades back within 3 days. But when I'm in a five or a six-week course and when the teachers would take almost 5 to 6 days to get back to me with a grade, then I had no idea on the first week if I was going in the direction that that teacher wanted. I wouldn't get the papers back for almost a week and then I’ve already written the next paper. By the time I get my first grade back, I would have to, “Oh, crap, that’s not how this teacher does things.” So, then I would have to go back and make a bunch of corrections. It’s tough because they’ve got several classes that they’re doing but, still, that was the hardest thing for me. Other than that, I’ve already sent people to Ashford as their student now.

    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 bar is set low at Ashford because by the end of my degree, there were people who couldn't cite their sources. Discussion was ridiculous too. It was obvious that they were doing this as a for-profit college and that they were letting about anybody in and grading on a very large curve. It always made me regret going for an online degree. But then again, it's none of my business how they did their stuff. Still, they could improve their course systems and be a little stricter with their grading. The students could also have more interaction with the instructors. Other than that, I was graded fairly and I worked hard.

    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.

    It was like a new format that they were trying out where the way they had it set up was that instead of you having the bulk of your assignments due on Monday and Thursday, in that particular class, you had stuff to do every day of the week. And that made it a lot more difficult for me especially with traveling for work, but I still got an A in the class. It was just it was different, and it wasn't as good as they have the other format set up for the classes. Considering I was going to school full time, the flexibility for my schedule worked pretty well. I stayed up a lot really late at night to get assignments done, and I didn't have a weekend for about two years or a vacation because I was doing homework when I was on vacation, but I don't know how much more flexible they can make it. I like Ashford. I have already referred about eight people to start going to school through my work.

    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.

    As far as the professors, it was very similar to any brick-and-mortar system. And that you have some fantastic ones, some good ones, and then some that weren’t unqualified, but a lot of that is the teaching style and the fit of the student with the teacher. There’s a better opportunity to have more success with that in online because the personalities aren’t quite so involved as they are in brick-and-mortar universities. But that being said, you’re on your toes about being able to communicate in written form back-and-forth with the instructors. So, that’s a different type of learning there. It’s what you have to do for yourself.

    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.

    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.

    Online college is tough. Having a full time job and having to learn everything by yourself, there’s no book that tells you that you need to be more dedicated to studying or research. But the first class they gave that teaches you what you need to work on was one of the most beneficial tools. It teaches you about how you learn and how to apply that. The website is really easy to navigate. I didn’t have any issues unless it was something to do with the IT, and if they were, then I contacted the IT people and they helped pretty fast. Ashford gave me all the tools that I needed to be successful, so it made me successful.

    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.

    As time went on I had to relocate to another state because of my husband's work. In wanting to have some experience with the new role, I reached out to psychology groups in the area and explained that I was in a doctoral program and wanted to get some experience so eventually I could get licensed to work in some capacity in psychology. I was lucky and a group asked me to come in. After they looked at my unofficial transcript I was informed that with this degree there would not be much I could do in the area of Psychology. Basically, my time was wasted. So, I called my advisor and explained the situation. Another shock! What was explained to me was that these are just general courses, and if you wanted to pursue a career in other areas, then more courses would need to be obtained. "What" why on earth would anyone waste time only to have to do more schooling?

    All I can say is thank God I found out now instead of getting the degree only then to find out that my efforts weren't worth the time spent. My advice to all interested in working in an actual Psychological setting ask first and get it in writing that you will be able to work in that field. Note most of these settings require license or certification in order to counselor practice. This degree will not give you those options. So "Make sure you get a full understanding".

    Hello, Kori. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Ashford University follows all federal and state policies and regulations, including policies on collecting debt and working with collections agencies. Additionally, we do not and have never had an enrollment fee or cancellation fee. Student balances generally occur if a student has an unsuccessful grade or withdraws below full time, and does not meet the lender's requirements. We are then required to send any funds back to the lender that the student was not eligible to use, which then creates a balance with the university. With that said, we take our service and your experience very seriously and would like to look into your matter. We were unsuccessful in finding a file that matched your name.

    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 believe the teachers that had hours that I could call them and telephone number, that’s where I learned the most because I could ask some questions. And they were also kind enough to leave that information. Most of them didn’t do that, though. There were maybe four who I had phone numbers, but communication with others was not as helpful.

    The communication was on there but the problem is that everything that you put on there is graded. If everybody could have like a forum for questions and is not graded, that would be great. And the 24-hour email period is kinda ridiculous. All your stuff is due on Thursday, so if you start on Tuesday and you have a question, then Wednesday, you might get an answer back, but you might have another question and everything’s due on Thursday. For a lot of my stuff, I went to YouTube and l’ll understand. And that seems silly when you’re paying as much as you’re paying.

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.

    Enrollment at Ashford was painless. I had some trouble navigating all the online stuff, 'cause I do a lot better in person and I don't have access to a fax machine. That was a little bit of a learning curve for me. I had a few screwups but it was very quick. It's definitely a good thing that I knew what I wanted to do. So when I had issues, I usually would call my advisor and be like, "Hey, I'm really not sure who I need to talk to." They would help me figure out where I needed to go and what exactly it was that I needed. Everybody was always really helpful when I called in.

    I really enjoyed learning in Ashford and I like the fact that it was so fast-paced. For some days, it was a little bit more difficult 'cause I have a family. But I like being able to figure it out and learn things. I've always been one that gets really bored if I had to sit and do the same thing over and over again. That's why the traditional college route wasn't my favorite experience. So, I tell everybody about Ashford and say, "Yeah, that's where I went, what I like to do, I enjoyed it." It was a pleasant experience overall. There were a couple of mishaps and things that I would have done differently, but once I discovered them, everybody helped me fix those issues.

    It was the year after I graduated when I decided to go back to get my degree, and I knew immediately I wanted to go to Ashford. I loved my learning experience through them. In my second year, I was diagnosed with chronic migraine and Ashford didn't waste any time getting me accommodation. So a lot of my materials were print, and that made it a lot easier to learn. They were very accommodating with that. But even before then, we were provided with about 7 to 10 resources in addition to the book that all the professors provided.

    The Ashford library had so many resources. I was never without resources for papers, and I gained a lot of information in all of my classes. Some are like classes that don't even really pertain to my degree right now because I teach three year-olds. I don't really need American government to teach three year-olds, but I still learned a lot from that class, and I'm glad I did. I have one friend that I worked with, and she said she has to redo her CDA. She works full-time and I told her about Ashford. I told her their classes are five weeks classes. I also told her I was working full-time and I was able to complete my bachelor's degree with no trouble. And she aid she's gonna have to look into it.

    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.
