Kaplan Reviews

I found the online platform extremely easy to adjust to. It allowed me to do the courses when I had the time to no matter what time of day it was. And for the most part, the courses I've taken are hit and miss, some are helpful and others, not so much. I loved the fact that all the assignments were given on the first day of class. The reason this was important to me was because it gave me the opportunity to work ahead of the rest of the class if I wanted or needed to. I also liked that the professors were very quick to respond even if you were further along in the class than where the rest of the class was. I would lower the cost, because even though it is an excellent program, jobs are not always available after graduation. I know I haven't even finished my degree yet and I'm already sitting at a substantial amount of money that needs to be re-paid.

Kaplan University is an okay school. They have resources for students who needs extra help like tutoring, but you'll have to seek out the help if needed. It is a for profit school so if you can't pay for your classes then I suggest taking a break or you'll end up being blocked from classes and still having to pay for the weeks you did attend. Some instructors are very helpful and there are some that just do the minimum so I suggest looking up the instructor before taking the class. The classes is challenging but not overwhelming. You just have to keep up and try not to fall behind. The online environment is good. You have a lot of support through the class.

The internet platform used is very intuitive and user friendly. It is very easy to get into and understand the layout and what is going on, and this matters because everything you do will stem from there. Also, all of your records are easy to find and view or print. The classes themselves are far too easy. It does not feel like you are learning as much as you should, and the material they do teach you seems like it is simply driven to pass the exams. However, the interactive "classrooms" are short, and on several occasions the professor did not show up, and there was no explanation given. When you did have class, there were far too many students, so you usually could not participate. The platform is very straightforward, and you are usually 1 or 2 clicks away from anything that you would be looking for. You are required to participate in the discussion boards every week as part of your grade.

It is a little hard. I must spend more time to study this classes and more questions to ask. It is very convenience for me and do not need go to the location. The important thing is more cheaper. Something new taught to me. I think it needs more efficient for talk and more detail for class.

The process of enrolling and taking courses is very easy and never have any problems. It is easy to engage with the online platform. The course are very helpful and easy to use now. It has the unique features and good online programs for us. The features are all helpful and fits us very well.

With Kaplan, we have more time for everything to study, work and to be dependent on our home is a very common method. You meet people online and you can do the work in groups, it is very didactic this method of studying. The method of evaluating a little is things that gradually improve as well as users, although there are things that are needed more practice everything that applies is good. The enrollment method is easy. Enter the main page you are looking for what you are going to study. You fill out your forms, you make your payment and you are ready in contacts with the teachers.

Kaplan University is very convenience for me and do not need go to the location. The important thing is more cheaper. Something new taught to me, but it needs more efficient for talk and more detail for class. Also, it is a little hard to enroll. I must spend more time to study these classes and more questions to ask.

Great online courses but they need more associate degrees. Also I had an issue with credit transfers, they should definitely accept more credits and take into account life experiences. The online platform was very easy and very well put together, I never had any issues. There were no major bugs in the software and my wifi reception didn't have to be perfect in order for the software to work. However, they shouldn't require students to stay in school for the year round semesters. Burnout is a huge issue especially for students working full-time and going to school at the same time.

The main thing I like about Kaplan is the flexibility. It is for people like me who have jobs and have families and are further along in life. I like that it is online and you can take as many or as few classes as you need. I also like that the classes are things I will actually be doing in my career!

It was very easy to learn here. They offered really great classes and fit my schedule. The courses have been very helpful to me. It was very simple to engage in the courses and the online platform. I also really enjoyed all of the professors as they were willing to help as well as motivate you. However, I wish they could put you in connection with jobs after you complete the program and earn your degree. This is a downfall. I have had my degree now for 7 years and have yet to use it. Although I have not found a job in this field, I am confident that I will find one in the future.

The process is simple and my courses are accurately aligned. I can still be at home while participating in class session and working on assignments. I like the online communicator, the professor quick response to an inquiry, I can turn my report in with ease, I don't have to use my gas, I can do all my work at home. However, sometimes the workload could be overwhelming and the communication is not always clear of how the process should be. Also, the tone of message can be unclear.

Enrolling was very easy. I truly enjoyed online college. Being able top do it online, saving on my vehicle and gas, vs going to a university campus. I could pick and choose what I wanted to take as an elective and the hours of what was for each class. Being able to have a book in front of you as well as being online and talking to the teacher and classmates via a online classroom.

It is very easy to enroll and register for courses. The courses are beneficial to my career. Courses are interesting, varied and relevant. It is easy to use the online format. It is a great program for adults who need to be able to schedule classes at a convenient time. The program is easy to tailor to an individual's pace and schedule. The professors are leaders in their field, good and knowledgeable. It is a really great program.

I like Kaplan because I can do my classes on my time schedule and from the comforts of home. I am not distracted from in class problems like chicks and other things. I can focus solely on my work and study and do exams in complete serenity. I like every aspect of what online schooling has to offer. It makes me a better person and gives me insight into myself that I didn't know I had. It gives me confidence and pride when I tell people I am in college learning a valuable trade. The enrollment process was easy and the courses have been helpful. First I saw a commercial for Kaplan, then I called the number, set up an interview, signed paperwork with electronic signature after choosing courses and getting approved for a grant. Then my schedule was generated on the classes I will take and I started on the start date.

It was easy enough to attend the classes. The courses themselves were only as continuing education as I was already gainfully employed in the courses I was studying in. I liked the flexibility of being able to go to attend classes that fit my schedule but feel that I missed something not being able to attend a physical class. However, the amount of money it cost to sit behind a computer is astronomical. I don't believe it should cost that much if you're not going to a physical class.

The process of enrolling and taking courses are both very easy to complete.They are very easy to engage with the online platform and make everything easier and quicker. All the features are very easy to use and I never meet any problems when I use them. I really know how to use them and they are very helpful. The price for me is very good and it provides us so many reliable information about programs.

Enrolling was easy. It make the transition really, really smooth and all the info online was all posted and easily found by anyone. Learn at your own pace and test at your speed was very great for me. I can study on my own time and away from work. Also, I can plan and play how I like spend time with friends when needed and work when I need to.

Enrolling into classes was very easy. Although it makes me feel that everyone that applies get in to take classes. Almost like a money grab. I bet most don't finish the degree. Still, I like the flexible program so I can keep my job and earn a masters. Also deferred payment status so my company will pay for classes once I receive my grades. I also like trimesters instead of just 2 semesters. However, some professors take too long to respond to quizzes, exams and questions. Many are helpful but others seems to have too many students. Grading seems fair but easier than my undergraduate school.

Kaplan University was easy all the way from the start. Their website was the most helpful part of the total enrollment process. Any questions you might encounter can be found in their website. Enrollment was very easy to complete and was understood. The instructions were also easy to follow. Plus, the course selection was informative and outstanding for the online courses I was interested in taking. Most importantly was the freedom to complete the courses at your time most available to you.

I didn't like the online program at all. I saw an advertisement that stated that I could go at my own pace so I called and asked about it. But when I signed up, I was lied to. I failed classes as I had requested incompletes and those requests were ignored. It is hard to contact the instructors. Also a lot of classes it is hard to take a course entire online. It has been a long time since I've taken these courses. Never again will I take another online course with Kaplan, they made me pay for all of those failed classes that was their fault.

Everything is great. Easy to engage with online platform. All the courses were great and helpful. Great prices too. Outstanding offers and services. Saves time and money, and easy to follow and do whenever is possible and convenience. They have great tools to use online. It is also easy to manage account and resume study and follow the schedule.

I found it very easy to sign up and get started with taking my classes online and also to receive the literature that helped to aid me in my education as well as they have referrals that help to get jobs and get you started and on your way to achieving your career goals. It's a great and caring school that is all about making it easier to study and get work done. It's not so expensive that's unaffordable but its accessible and affordable with college courses that are accredited. They are awesome. They are always adding better and newer features that help the learning process and communicating with the staff and faculty members.

Admission process is very simple and take some time to create account. No problem in getting the admission. Also, it's convenient to learn online courses help to save time and spend time somewhere else. It's good and easy.

When you enroll, you will get an academic adviser that talks with you, determines what clause you need, will walk you through the process of enrolling, getting your courses and things of that nature and help you enroll with them. They will email you links to fill in your information and all of that. After you do all of that and have your classes picked you can print out a syllabus of your courses. You know what all your classes are for the whole semester. However, I dislike having to sign in for seminars because most of them are boring. I don't like sitting in front of the computer watching these things and sometimes trying to give answers to some questions you have is difficult because everyone else needs help or the attention of the teacher. But it is easier than going to a traditional campus college/university. You also can talk with your teachers online if you are having problems regarding your schoolwork. I love doing school online.

I am making good process on getting my degree. The courses are all online so that means no classes. I can proceed at my own pace. I can do this around my work schedule. No getting up at 6 am for class. If you are self starter then this is the way to go.

Everything about the online school was great. The whole process of getting started taking my classes was very simple and easy to complete. I actually applied online and after a few days I was contacted by a customer service rep and they help me apply for all my classes, file for financial aid, and everything else I needed. They were super helpful whenever I had questions and help me get enrolled really quickly. It was a really fun way to take classes.

Kaplan University is unique, fast, flexible, and they work with you on your terms. Also the fees for tuition are not as killer as most other universities. I just love the way this school runs and they are accredited. They try to help you both entering the school as leaving it. They try their best to help with job placement etc. Everything and everyone has been super helpful. The staff is super friendly and understanding. I love the course work and how the professors handle their loads as well. A+++!

Kaplan University is a great place to finish your education and a starting point for your future. This place inspired me to get my credits I needed to finish. I had a great experience enrolling. It was very easy and they offered an admission coordinator to help me through the process. They are also helpful in finding ways to get financing. Kaplan University has a great line of subjects to take and it is easy to complete the courses. They are easy to access and take my past college courses into consideration. The only problem I had was talking with the teacher at hours that were available to me. But still I had a great experience.

Enrollment and financial aid was very easy. Did everything online. A lot of student don't know how to apply for aid and it would be very helpful to them to find that kind of help. There should be more professor and teacher student interaction, and also help the student who have financial issue and some kind of mentor online to guide them though the process. You can be in the comfort of your home and arrange your course on your time. Very flexible. Able to hold a part time job while you are going to school online.

Great school and the enrollment went pretty smoothly. You send in the application and they go over your paperwork, any prior credits from any other institution check that out and then to get back to you as quickly as possible. If you have anything done through Europe lawyer they had to contact them and then they get back to you. It's pretty seamless.

The accessibility of the program and the school's course none. It's difficult to enroll with a lot of steps. Faster access, more classes and addition courses none. But very good online classes with good training.

Enrolling at Kaplan was very easy and intuitive. I love how I could take the test without feeling pressured and get a makeover if I failed the passing grade. I would have like to be able to choose when and what to study on some subjects. Also, I would like an offline feature plus I would love to have more time to talk or webcam the teacher of the online classroom. But I like how I can contact the professor and have a response very quickly. I love that I can connect with other students while I am taking the course. The other students were in a understandable situations as was I. Graduating should be easy as well.

I like the concept that I am able to take my program classes online and it fits me perfectly. It makes it a lot less time consuming and totally prefer this option than going to class at the university. I really like that I can get my education without having to take my time to go to class outside. The only negative is that I can't see my professor in real life and talk to him. Also, I don't get to see other classmates that I could see if I went to the real school. But then the process of enrolling and taking courses were very easy. All I had to do was go online and pick my classes and I could do all of that from my computer. Also taking the classes were overall very easy to do.

The online university has a good online program that offers 180 programs and the class times are easy and convenient. I love the ease of access to get into the classes. Maybe the online program should have of a vast selection of more classes to choose from. Then it is easy to engage in the online platform. The classes have been very helpful getting me to get closer to my degree and have been relevant.

The courses I take are available whenever I can do them according to my schedule. I am able to get the proper help I need answering lessons and rather easy to engage in the chorus the professors through the system and various other resources available to me as a student with no big issues about lack of availability no matter what time of the day or what day it is. However, the variety of courses that are online are actually a bit lacking that I would have hoped. There have been also a few times when I could not get in touch with someone to get some assistance with what I was doing in the course.

I liked the online courses the way they were set up and taught. I also liked the professors and how actual homework and library was set up in the courses for the programs. It was very easy to enroll and the online platform was very easy as well. Also, the courses were very helpful, I learned a lot from the courses.

I study at Kipling College from 2011-2014. I obtain an Associate degree in 2013. I recently applied at Cal State Northridge for fall 2017. I have received a denial letter because the classes I took are not compatible. What a waste of money and time. I was told that classes would transfer. I would never recommend this college. The education does not hold its weight. My recommendation to anyone is to make sure your degree is WASC approved.

I like that classes are online and the instructors were always friendly and you could chat with your classmates. However, I didn't like the software they used to conduct online classes. It felt old and it was hard to navigate at times because it wasn't all uniform. It was also somewhat difficult to engage with the platform due to things not always being uniform between classes so things were in different areas depending on the instructor's use of the systems. I did not really enjoy the experience.

Kaplan University are very good in helping student with a lot of their problem they are having with different kind of courses and what type of courses to choose from. Teachers are there for them when they need assistance. They have one on one interaction with the students and helping them success in the career they are choosing and any kind of financial need and online problem they have.

Their customer support is very knowledgeable. I didn't feel, at first, that I was being pressured to sign up. However, they tried to talk me into classes I didn't need to take. Also, they promised to be accredited when I started. That didn't happen so now I am stuck with credits that don't count. But their online school is easy to navigate and really handy with all resources they offer. The online instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. They are also willing to give up their family time to help anyone who is having trouble with a class. It allows me to be flexible with my hectic schedule. It was enjoyable until the end.

It is very easy to apply online. I had an online advisory to help me through the process. Classes are easy to take and I have no issues. I love that I can schedule classes around my time and business. Then the course have been instrumental in helping me with my business. I love that you can personalize your own degree program. More and more programs like this are being created in traditional colleges, but it's important in online institutions.

Kaplan makes it very simple to enroll, take classes and completing projects and courses online. It is extremely easy to engage with the platform. What I liked most about Kaplan University is that they have a wide variety of courses to take that can help me pursue my career. The courses that are provided teach me the basics that are needed in order to succeed in the field that I want. I liked pretty much everything about the online program at Kaplan University. The courses that I took have definitely been helpful.

Enrolling on the website and portal was easy as putting in your received information. The platform is pretty much straight forward and easy to use. Some features such as the online pdf viewer can be rather slow depending on size. Easier pacing as you can do the material at any time during the day/night. No worries about being there on time. I like the constant access to information that you may not have on the Campus. Then the access to professors is not as good as being there in person, but it's acceptable. Could use a faster system to access. Lectures are recorded and played back or can be read, and it's not quite the same as being there. But overall very good.

After making the decision to enroll at Kaplan University I called and got signed up to begin my courses. The person that enrolled me even called me the day my first class began and talked me through what would be expected of me which made me less nervous. The flexibility of the courses allowed me to do something I thought was impossible. Taking classes in a regular classroom is impossible with my schedule. It did not take long for me to settle into the routine and exceed my own expectations. I was on the president's list the entire time I was enrolled at Kaplan university.

Engaging with the online platform was very easy. They did everything they could to get me enrolled, and all the materials I needed were delivered to my home well ahead of the time required. I always fully understood what was required of me in my classes, and the requirements were presented in an easy to understand way. But the requirements of the classes were too easy. I did not feel I had been taught the material I was being credited for very well. Several classes gave over 20 percent of your grade as simply engaging with the discussion board. I do not feel that the courses truly gave me a deep understanding of the material, and I was being taught how to pass the tests rather than learning the material. I understand that it is my responsibility to learn, but even all of the testing felt my specific, as if I was being taught just enough to pass the test. I didn't feel I was truly getting an education.

It was so easy to enroll. I went on their website and just enrolled there. There was no hassle and it was so simple. And I love how it works around me. I can do things when I want and not when I have to. It makes life so easy, especially when you are working while getting your degree. It is just perfect.

Everything was good in all terms. I was able to do everything on my own time. It was very easy to do any and everything I was required to do, everything has been one hundred percent helpful; thus far and I'm glad I choose it. It's all good and it's everything I ever could have imagined an online or any college to be. I would recommend it to anyone who asked about online college or just any colleges in general.

If you have the time, it can be easier than going to a University. You can do it at your convenience and it is not that expensive. Flexibility, online support, affordable, convenient timings, and availability. They can provide financial support to those in need but they should try to help students with course materials. Sometimes course material is not readily available online and that can be frustrating. Helpful to a certain extent, but sometimes it's difficult to engage since it's an online course. Average experience, but worth it.

Kaplan University is a very good school. I really enjoy taking their classes online, very good curriculum and instructors, they offer good results and education for the future. Enrolling is not that hard but it could be easier if they'd organize things better on their site, have the capability to choose more classes ahead of time, more choices and more instructors, have more specific questions and interactions in general. Would be less paperwork to fill out and could help a lot.

What I like about Kaplan University is you have an online teacher who you call to help you with your work. The teacher is there certain hours of the day. It like you in a big classroom and everybody typing, talking, while the teacher teach. The only thing I don't like is we no face to face and I kind of need that so I can do my work better. I would like to see other student maybe but you can talk to other students get help with your work. Then enrollment has been really hard because I need help, I don't understand the work that well so help is a big must and the way it look is so simple. You can direct yourself so easily to find help.

Program is offered online so don't have to attend campus. Online classes are the only way to go, they allow you to work at your own pace and in your own environment and doesn't interfere with work schedule or family time. I still work full time and have time for family. It has been easy to take classes online, no real glitches or issues at this point. This is much better than online courses, no fixed or set schedule and you can still reach out to your instructor for help. I enjoy all the classes I have taken so far and encourage others to try it.

The online system is really great, way good to keep track of my courses, grades, keep in touch with the professor and colleagues in almost real time every time. Enrollment is really easy once you comply with all the requirements, the system guide you all the time with very much useful information and the very user friendly. System were really good most of the time, sometimes there were some delays but nothing to worry about, no deal breaker at all for me.

These courses are going to be very helpful in every individual's life. These program created awareness about the environment and betterment of society was focused. It was a very educative program, which focused on every aspect of syllabus. It was a very collaborative course which consisted of everything and it was one of the finest program for the well-being of an individual. There was nothing to dislike about the course as everybody gained some knowledge. It was one the straightforward program which cannot be disliked by anybody. Cool, awesome, nice.

I like the customization and flexibility this program offers me. I have researched other online colleges and Kaplan has the qualities I am looking for. This institution has very little faults. I have seen online schools who don't even try half as hard as this place did. The enrollment was a pretty simple process in learning about this place. I found the person helping me was courteous and very respectful. It really influenced my choice.

So I started college for the first time in Arkansas and already started school when I was advised that apparently I couldn't get my financial aid all because a Kaplan University having me as I was a student and had loans took out when I never even heard of them. I called them first thing and of course they didn't have anything in a file on me not even a copy of a ID! They told me to file a police report and fax it to them and also put my phone number and email in their system. After 5 times of sending the police report and keeping a copy of everything I sent it showing it sent they finally stopped lying saying they didn't get it.

In 2015, I started this program (Bachelors of Science Legal Studies) and I would be done if this institution was responsible. I was selected for some sort of verification in the summer of 2016 (for basically being too poor). They didn't quite explain it. They just made me turn in a bunch of documents. I was already in class when it happened and was given the okay that I'd be able to continue with my program and then out of nowhere I received a bill for 3,900 and something dollars that I needed to pay in full before I could start my next class - so long story short I was barred from my classes. I tried calling and talking to them and all that would happen is I'd be on hold, switch from line to line to basically be told I can't start until I pay that. How does that make any sense? They have seen my tax transcripts and they know I don't magically have 4,000 dollars to pay out of nowhere.

I started attending Kaplan University for a Masters program while I was living remotely in the woods. I thought Kaplan would work perfectly for me during this time of my life. The joke was on me. After 5 terms I realized that the school was a scam and wasting my funds. I called my guidance counselor numerous times over my first four terms. I emailed this woman numerous times as well trying to ask for assistance with some ideas for studying and to discuss my thesis. Not once did this counselor contact me. I then requested a new guidance counselor which was another huge ordeal for the guidance office took personal offense to my complaint regarding this individual's horrible professionalism.

I started Kaplan in 2015 for a BS degree in Healthcare Administration. From the very beginning I had support. Kaplan also accepted most of my transfer credits to my new career choice. Financial aid helped make sure my financial aid was up to date. But it is not their responsibility to tell you how or when your financial aid is ending. I questioned my financial adviser and she looked into it for me. I know it seems harsh but some lessons we learn the hard way. Don't blame an institution because you neglected to do your research. You have to take some of the responsibility. They put me on a great path.

I'm an 80% service connected Veteran who choose to attend online school because of my disabilities. This school will not work with you nor will they really help you if you have medical disabilities. I was in my last course getting all my graduation information together when my medical issues hit me hard. I informed my school but instead of them directing me to student disability services they told me they did not want to hear it. I was forced to take a clinical leave of absence without officially being told I would have to pay for the repeated course even though I was not failing the current course.

I went to Kaplan starting in March of 2016. I was worried because of my borrowing at Corning Community College, that I would not be able to have enough funding for school. Kaplan financial aid advisers repeatedly told me that I would have enough aid. I received a letter stating I was getting low on funds around October. I spoke with a man who told me there would be no issues with my aid and loans and I would be able to finish my degree with the funding I had left. He told me I should start taking 3 classes per semester and that should help. I said "ok".

Took online courses for continuing education their courses were guaranteed to be approved by the TREC for the number of credits and hours shown. I took 2 courses for 6 hours and 4 hours. Turns out both of them are only really for 3 hours each causing me to buy another course. This is false advertising and horrible customer service. Will never use again. Go to The CE Shop they have way better videos and they actually update information with your local state so that whatever credit they say you are getting you actually will.

I'm in the 2nd week of my last term and I graduate Aprill 11th with a bachelor's in Psychology with a concentration in addictions. The classes are rigorous and you have to give it your all; online schooling will not give you good grades for "**" work. There's 10 units in every course and you usually take two classes a term. The unit runs from Wednesday to Tuesday and all work for that unit has to be submitted by 11:59 PM Tuesday night. You go one seminar a week, which the majority of are held on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Mondays, but you can access your unit and see what work needs to be done at any time during the week; you don't have to wait to take the seminar.

Kaplan is just like any other university. I'm going to tell everybody a story. My best friend went to the University of Texas (UT) here in Austin, TX one semester from graduating with a BA in Math his financial aid runs out. Took him 3 years to re-apply and finish. It happens everywhere with every university. You have to read between the fine lines. I know it's going to happen for me, and that's why I already have steps taken so I can complete my degree. You can't be mad at anybody except yourselves because you didn't take the time to read and listen to what the faculty had to say.

I was solicited by Kaplan University after filling out a request for a grant or scholarship so I talked to an advisor about the Paralegal Studies Associate Degree. I had been certified as a Paralegal a few years prior and thought if I got my degree, I wouldn't have to keep getting recertified. It seemed like a good plan and the advisor convinced me that it was. I had gone to community college where I received my Computer Applications Certificate in early the 2000s and was on the Dean's List and in the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. I was able to transfer 40 credits toward my Associates Degree, which only left me with 50 credits to earn for my Degree. Kaplan also gave me a $15,800 scholarship, which they said would cover most of my tuition and I could pay for the rest with student loans. It sounded doable so I enrolled.

I went to Kaplan for one semester. When I seen after week two that there was a $1000 balance showing I called the financial aid department. A person there named Tameka told me "don't worry about it. The financial aid will cover it in the end", so I stayed in the classes instead of dropping them within the 3 week trial. Two weeks later I get told that that money will have to be paid at the end of the semester or I can not keep going. I completed my classes and even paid the money due before the due date but had decided to transfer to a school that my financial aid would cover the cost of. Kaplan is now holding my financial aid hostage and will not cancel future payments so I can enroll in the new school I want to go to.

I owed them $401 for my first term and would not work with me to help me start my next term. I would not recommend this school to no one. They will not work with you and do not care about anyone. I would find a school that cares about the student and not just about the money. They are a scam artist, and I wish there were more that I could do!!

I enrolled in Kaplan University Online in 2014. I was told that my 29 yr old daughter had stage 4 cervical and ovarian cancer shortly after. I informed the school what was happening and told them that I would not be able to complete my classes going through this with my daughter. I was told I be dropped from the classes and it was early enough that it would not affect anything. I went through the surgeries with my daughter and by the grace of God she is now cancer free. I enrolled in Colorado Technical University this term and I find out that the classes were not dropped that they have me as failing the classes and financial went through to the school. I went onto the student portal which apparently I have had access to since 2014 but when I began to question this suddenly I was restricted from access. I want my aid credited back to me and I want the transcripts to read dropped not failed.

I am a second year student with Kaplan University online. I am, first, going to address the 50 year old with the perfect grades... Make sure your Dean's List certificates match your actual gpa... mine did not. In researching Kaplan, I have found that they have had more than one lawsuit against them, including class action suits. My biggest concern was the one for having submitted $8 BILLION in fraudulent funds, people being turned down for employment due to their - Kaplan degree - and other companies about unethical enrollment, unqualified instructors, and so on. I had A's in my courses, now dropping because the homework platform doesn't work properly, which I can verify with emails from my so-called professor. Please consider another school. Research lawsuits on this school to get a list of other questionable schools, that include Kaplan University.

I attended Kaplan this last semester. Now I owe 4,000 for classes I never got to take and was promised financial aid I never received. I also was rewarded 8,500 in scholarships I never heard about past being awarded them? I'm just confused. I was 7 weeks in my classes, I attended them I just never sent in the work because I was told I could send it all at once. Then I was told I needed another form for my aid. I made a scribble on one of the forms I faxed, which I initialed so as to say yes I made this small scribble (like I was taught in high school) so I needed to re-fax it. Done. Transcripts sent. Transcripts returned??? I was awarded zero after I was told I was getting 8,500 in scholarships alone. That won't pay for a semester??? Why are my transcripts back in my mailbox? I paid for them, they are the official ones! I was also taking out loans and getting all of my Pell or so I was told by my lying advisor.

This school has failed to uphold their responsibility to me as a student after attending for three years. I was told during admission that my financial aid would cover my entire higher education, only to find out in the middle of a semester, three years later, 5 months before I'm supposed to graduate, that I've exhausted my financial aid and that I would be required to pay for the remainder of my higher education out of pocket. Being on a tight budget, this was impossible for me. This resulted in me withdrawing from the two classes I was in the middle of, and dis-enrolling from the school. I was told by the education advisers that I would be dropped from both classes and that my grades would not post to my transcript.

Just noticed the actual loans I had want from the school that I went to. Must I remind you I only went for a week and the year was way off. Brightwood College formerly Kaplan College has put loans with my info. How? IDK... but I'm sure it's a solution for this. Reading the reviews I'm sure I'm not the only one. This school need to be reported as fraud. I'm sure Department of Education will dispute this from your account. But why and how did they get anyone info to proceed.

I never went to Kaplan online and now I have student loans worth thousands and they are taking my taxes and does anyone realize how hard it is to prove, that you never apply to Kaplan. All they want is people's money and I don't have a lot of money. Someone needs to stop these people. All they want is your money, forging signatures and stealing people's identity. I wouldn't ever go to Kaplan. Quit ripping people off. These are people's lives you're ripping apart. I would like to know if there's help out there for them filing student loans under my name. Seems no one believes me but it's true. They opened accounts under my name and thousands and thousands of government money went to these con artist.

I've been going to Kaplan for roughly 3 years. The courses are rigorous and challenging. Each term is typically 9-10 weeks long. I received a partial scholarship, and student financial aid. All financing has been delivered as promised. Sometimes the payments are a bit delayed, but eventually the financial department gets everything where it needs to go. I attended University of Phoenix prior to going here. I've found Kaplan to be much more educational, with particularity, the amount of information I retain after each term. I am noticeably more intelligent, my writing skills are becoming very acute, and I can see a huge difference in the amount of knowledge I have.

TL:DR version: If you want a real education without getting jerked around then go elsewhere. However if you don't mind having your student loans maxed out for a mere 10 hours of instruction in each class, and don't mind classes that teach you nothing, then maybe Kaplan is for you. I was contacted by Kaplan in late September 2015 because I had indicated on some survey that I would like to continue my education. Instead of taking their time to get things right I was rushed through the admissions process in two days because they were eager to get me started in the next term. I was a little uncomfortable with this but went with it thinking I could trust them. Additionally according to my works HR page, Kaplan was offering a 10% discount for people at my employer. With those thoughts in mind I started in late September.

I started attending Kaplan University as a transfer student. My expected graduation date was August 2014 however 3 semesters in I was told my federal student loans were tapped out. I received any notification or guidance from Kaplan University financial aid office. At the time I was able to get tuition assistance from my employer for weeks prior to start of the next semester. I submitted a form that Kaplan needed to fill out so I could submit to my employer before the deadline. Almost every day I was calling Kaplan to get this form filled out no response. It was just sitting in my document file unread. I missed the deadline, therefore I had to withdraw. I was hit with a $5000 bill. I finally paid it off after 3 years. So I decided I would go back to Kaplan in June 2016 prior to the start of the semester. I submitted all documents and kept trying to reach the financial aid office no response.

I completed all of my classes at Kaplan in 2013, but when it was time for me to graduate it was not happening. What a let down. At first I thought it was a joke but later found out these ** was serious. They let me finish my last class and three weeks after the last class they tell me that I didn't have enough money to pay for my class. What! It was unreal. I don't want anyone to go through that, so don't put yourself through unnecessary heartache. Please run and don't look back. I am so interested in this class action lawsuit.

I went to Kaplan six years ago in CJ then when I tried to return to finish that degree they changed the standards and credits. So now can't finish. So I said transfer credits and I will earn a Bs degree. When they signed me up they knew I wouldn't have enough money to complete the program but I find out I won't have enough money. But they took the payment and was gonna take every last dime of what I had left if I didn't call to make sure again I will have enough. They have taken advantage and they are doing nothing to help me get a degree but draw many loans under my name and I have no degree.

I enjoyed the presentations of the instructors of this program... All were motivating and professional. The problem was not with them but with the amount of material that was required to be mastered in 3 weeks. The program is 4 weeks but that fourth week is 3 days of review for the test, not instruction. Even with the required 100 plus pages of reading a night, online tests, and 6 hour classroom days, the subjects taught couldn't be fully comprehended nor was the majority of national material applicable to either of the two national portions of the state exam that I took!

I went to Kaplan online to try and advance my education in Nutrition and since I am already a Chef I decided to get my BSNS. What I got was shafted. I got my downloaded books and was only able to attend 2 sessions online with the professor because they had no one available any longer during my class times on my days off. I then withdrew from the class. That was 2011. Now I was contacted from the Department of Education saying I am being garnished for 2600 dollars for classes I never attended. So here is your sign.

I want to warn everyone about Kaplan. My daughter- in-law had to pay back Stafford loans for attending school she never attended. It is a mess. Anyone else had that experience. I see a class action.

Graduated about 2 years ago. Did get into cvs (but only because I knew someone). Found I could not do the job at all. Had to quit. Instructors only care about getting paid. They got the money already so complaints make no difference to them. At one point (I am blind in one eye) and was told "take off the glasses or get out." Miss ** (our instructor) just put the answers on the board and left the room before tests. Scam. Don't waste your money. My daughter also attended the same location and can't get work and she was under the same instructors. I wish I knew who if anyone is handling any lawsuits against kaplan. Me and my daughter will be in... STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL!!!!

I went to Kaplan for a while and time for me to graduate I couldn't because my financial aid was up! Not sure why. I was going for Early Child Development. I can't even finish my school I am in now because I don't have any more loans. I'm just angry.

I have attended Kaplan University since 2013. I have never had an issue until now since supposedly my funds are about to run out (so they say), and they are giving me the runaround about my financial aid. Now I must fill out a document from the tax office stating my income to even be eligible for the funds from financial aid. Instead of mailing me the documents last month (which I just saw on the 20th of June on my account documents), which the financial aid is awarded on July 1st, now I must print off the documents and fax it to them, which I won't be awarded until 5 to 7 business days, after they receive it.

The Accrediting Council for Independent Schools is finally revoking accreditation for schools that are scamming students. Kaplan University should be included. My brother attended Kaplan University in Des Moines, Iowa for a business degree. The teachers or instructors were local business employees who wanted a second job. Their primary interest was paycheck.

First off I would like to say this school is way too expensive, and the so called professors they suck. The learning stinks - it's like it's a huge repeat of the same thing over and over again. Why have discussion boards when you already have seminar??? The financial aid advisors have no clue as to what the hell they are doing or talking about. They are beating the students out the money that we are going to have to pay back. I was suckered into getting an associates degree in medical assisting when I could have gotten a certification in 9 to 12 months.

First I spoke with Joseph ** back in April 2016. He was helping me enroll with Kaplan University. I had some paperwork that needed to be filled out. He kept constantly lying to me and telling me that he needed my signature to release the type of information that I needed. I get into several email altercations with this man. I spoke to Marcus **. He enrolled me up for classes. He never explained to me what kind of course it was and what I needed for the course. Now I am falling behind in class. Each time I try to get help from the technology center online it is always closed. I just recently spoke with Brenda from the technology center. She does not seem like she knows her job! She told me she was going to call me at 7 pm my time but never called me to help me with downloading software to my computer that I needed for class.

I am very disturbed with the Financial Aid Department. I signed up for and received The Every Credit Counts Scholarship ($500 per term). Their website states to fax in unofficial or official transcripts for credits. I did fax my unofficial transcripts in. Now after 3 terms, they tell me that they want official transcripts for the Scholarship to be awarded. There is an issue with yet another university, University of Phoenix with my official transcripts to be transferred. I was told on February 28, 2016 I was approved and awarded the Scholarship and it was being processed.

When I first began my journey into my Master of Science in Criminal Justice program online everything was great, all the way to the completion of all my program courses. I did it all while taking care of my terminally ill mother at home full time. Well in Feb 2015 my mom passed and I took a leave for only 6 weeks because I did not want to get too far behind. I made it to the end with a 3.64 GPA, which I was proud of but also mentally exhausted. My next step was to take my Comp exam after a 3 week break. Well I did not realize how much of a mental break I needed until I was on that small break. The requirement for the exam was to write a minimum of 10 pages on 4 different topics in 3 weeks. Once into the exam I struggle with getting back into school mode. Needless to say I came in shy of my 10 page requirement, so I received a grade of failing.

I am so beyond done with hearing Kaplan's name. I really do not understand why they are still in business and not been sued by their students. I am so burnt by this university in the same way that most of the students on this site. I started Kaplan in 2007 in hopes of finishing my bachelor's degree that I had started at the University of Alabama. Being a new mom and a non-traditional student Kaplan admission advisors did a good job baiting innocent students in started their degrees and getting into such "high paying" jobs. What BS! Then they sell you on their financial aid, why not? If only you would know how they will be scamming you pretty much in your last term, you would NEVER sign up for this school.

I received a call from at the time from a unknown company. I asked who was calling? The rep refused to answer and asked for someone else. I asked for the name of the company the rep refused. I kept asking and the rep kept refusing. I finally asked for a manager and was put on hold. I held and then the call was disconnected. I went to call the number back to get a manager. I then got called by ** and was informed he was a manager from the company that just called me. However did not identify the company.

I have read a few of the reviews left by others and I must agree. Kaplan University has to be the worst online school out there when it comes to issuing refunds and communication. I have been attending this school for a little over a year and every term there is a problem with my refund. And when you try to speak with them they give you standard answer never truly helping you. I live one city away for where the checks are mailed from and I have been waiting over 2 weeks for a check, was clear sent to the incorrect address yet again. There is one person receiving for these types of issues and she lacks understanding, they never gives update or set expectation. Some terms they say they're doing updates to help FAFSA process move along quicker, it seems to make things go slower each time.

I am DISGUSTED by the experience I have had with Kaplan University's financial aid department. First things first... When trying to contact Kaplan about your financial aid and why it hasn't posted within the 14 day time period that it must legally be posted, you will not get a response. Also, when you contact them asking why a stipend has not been sent within the 14 calendar days that they must legally send the stipend... Again, you will not get a response.

Originally, I started off with Colorado Technical University which seemed to be a great school. I never had an issue for the year and a half that I was with them. The issue started shortly after I transferred to Kaplan. I originally started off with the Bachelor of Science program with a focus in Human Resources Management. Everything went fine for the first year. Just last year, I had to take an emergency leave because my wife was out in the hospital and all my focus needed to be on helping her recover, but also taking care of my kids at the same time. I have two toddlers, one 3-year-old and one 2-year-old, so they definitely require a lot of attention. I was advised that while I am able to take this leave of absence that my degree program would no longer be available upon my return. This was troubling, but priorities first.

Everything was perfectly fine at the beginning. Never had a problem with Kaplan University until recently that I'm a term away from Graduation. I now realize that I am not the only student who has been having problems with them. I was told that I would graduate on July 2016. Then I'm told that it has been extended to October because I was a credit short. I always kept constant communication with my academic advisor but was never informed that I would be a credit short. At all times she informs to me that I would graduate in July. But whatever... I get over it and take on another course to complete the required credits.

I wish I had read these reviews about Kaplan before because I truly thought I was the only person frustrated with them. Each term it takes a minimum of 6 weeks into the term before any form of funding is applied to my account. The "reasons" I am given vary each time and they never run out of excuses. It is so distracting and stressful to have to worry each term if the funds are going to be applied correctly or not.

I am currently a student at Kaplan. I have been there for a year now. I am an undergraduate. I loved this school up until this term. Last term I felt like they were full of **, but now they really are. Last term I had a death in my family on top of the fact I was homeless around Christmas time. I filled out the grievance form... only to find out that was for if you have a complaint about a professor or their staff (LOL). So I left that alone. Now this term I told my Education Adviser that I was homeless and I could only get on the internet to do the seminars and my assignments would be late. He was OK with it, then he calls me and says the Dean wants to switch my classes around.

I received a Bachelor of Science and two Master's Degrees from Kaplan and did not get the promised jobs. I was a single parent and was told as a paralegal I would make at least $50 an hour, I made $10 an hour so I went on for my Masters being told that I would be able to jump right into management only to find out that I could not without the prior experience in the field. I was told I had to take out a personal loan and did so for $5,000 with only $500 needed to cover my tuition shortage and somehow the rest disappeared and I owed $5,000 which is now $10,000. No assistance and no answers just money owed that I do not have the job to pay back.

Kaplan University mismanaged my Federal Student loan. I enrolled as a student at Kaplan University (KU) mid 2012 with promises that I had enough funding up until I graduate. However, I received notification two terms prior to December 1, 2015 that I will reach my limit of funding from FAFSA as an undergraduate of $60k. I received an email stating that I will need an estimated of $22k for the next three terms which includes room/board, transportation, computer, personal, and banking fees. In KU terms these charges are called indirect fees.

I was a Kaplan student couple years ago. When I signed up they ask me if I wanted to receive the money left over from the financial aid from each class or if I wanted to put in my account so when I was ready to pay them back it would not be too much. I told them put it in my account. According to them I received two checks for the amount of $1126 and $131. I never received anything. Once I found out within two weeks, I let them know that I never received anything. They told me that I did and that I have cashed them out. So I asked for a copy of the checks if they had it because I did not have anything at the moment.

I called today concerning funding that was supposed to be received already. Again was given the runaround by the financial aid department about Kaplan's system being down and how this is a Kaplan Problem only. Us students were given notice that the system would be fixed by the 15th of March and all checks would be fixed and sent. Well here it is the 22 and still be given excuses. Now I am being told they are reviewing their packages after awards letters have been given and they were already paid by the government for student loans and grants as I have my award letter for the January term and have not been paid yet to date, and have completed my term and am done with Kaplan and their **.

My experience was horrible at this school. Beware it's a scam to all those thinking of joining this school, don't join. You will encounter unprofessional staff plus they will insult you which I took to heart. The teachers are a joke, don't know how to teach for their life. The students are also arrogant.

Kaplan has the worst customer service. So many departments don't have "phone queues" so you can't talk to him. How in the world am I supposed to be a successful student with answers like "You can just e-mail." When I first signed up all they did was call me but when I need to talk to someone the answer is "Just e-mail." Horrible, horrible. Find another college.

When I enrolled and got started with the online classes I reported to Kaplan's so-called counselors and professor about not being able to access the Kaplan online class system on many occasions and that I was locked out of the system. I did a complete Kaplan withdrawal in the allotted time frame as well as keeping in touch with the professor and not getting timely responses from either, and as a result I had to end up paying the Department of the Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service back the money that Kaplan took without holding up their part to provide their services that was taken from my G.I. Bill, and I am not pleased with the outcome of this whole thing whatsoever! Kaplan is just another huge ripoff of hardworking taxpayers' dollars. Kaplan to me is just a money-making sham of an institution and should be stripped and shut down of any and all accreditation.

Beware of this school. I took a 2 year Associates Degree in Health Information Technology. I started off with 0 credits and had to get 92 credits but somehow I went over the 150% rule. How when I had 0 credits to start? Never took college courses before. Single mom scholarship is a joke. Initially this scholarship was divided equally for each semester, now all a sudden I have an outstanding balance due for this school, I don't get my single mom scholarship and that I have maxed out my eligibility for my last semester. MONEY HOLE. I wonder if everyone that takes a 2 year degree goes over the 150% when you trust the Finance Dept. to divide the funds equally. Makes you wonder if those employees had to take Math class before joining this horrible fraudulent school.

Last July 2015, my last term with Kaplan, I was due to receive my last Pell grant. I had to fax over the same documents over three times in August and still with no results. I completed my course in September of the same year, was due to move, but still no Pell grant. Received an award letter at the end of October and was told the financial aid department was going through a technology transition and disbursements would be delayed.

I had attended Kaplan University. Unfortunately I believed everything I was told. They are accredited and my credits will be accepted anywhere. I received my bachelor's in paralegal studies and decided to get my masters degree with AOM coercion. All of this was online. I have quite a bit of student loans but was assured as long as I am in school I am fine and the loans covers everything. Needless to say I was a bit too trusting and never check disbursements or anything like that.

I just found out that Kaplan University took my taxes for a time I supposedly went to school. I never went there or did online, the funny part is they said I did in 2008, if so why now take my money. I have done taxes for years and nothing from them. Plus I got no letters from them or bills. Plus they had half of my information the other half I never had or knew about. This is crazy. Now I have to file tons of paperwork and probably won't see my money for months.

I used my GI Bill to pay for my 4 year Info Tech degree and came out with 30k in student loans... Does that sound right? NO! I didn't question it until recently when other people have using their GI Bill at other institutions and have ZERO student loans.

I have been waiting nearly 5 months for the school to disburse my financial aid. It has been such a disheartening situation! I've been attending Kaplan's online program for almost a year now, and the hold-up on financial aid began in November of 2015. As of date, I have not received a disbursement for the November term or January term. Now almost going into March, a 3rd term, nothing yet. I have given up hope with this university's financial aid department, which began with countless phone calls only to hear the same story over and over again. If you decide to attend this school, please do not depend on receiving financial aid on time.

I started out at Kaplan in June of 2014. My first term my funding was delayed or lost and this has continued to happen every term since. In November of 2015 the financial aid department shut down and has been off and on with progress with what they claim is an over haul update on the system. I was told in early January that I would be locked out of the courses if I did not pay the amount owed. The funding I use with the Post 9/11 GI Bill was sent to them only after I called to make sure the request was sent to the Department of VA education. The funds were sent out days before the email was sent and I have confirmation that they received it. The financial aid department is still telling me that they cannot do anything to the upgrade that was finished in December. This school is not a school I would have enrolled into if I knew that I would only be throwing money at it for nothing in return.

This is now about my 3rd time contact Kaplan regarding my financial aid. Here the response for the representative as of today, 1.20.16. "There are processing delays due to an update to our system. Our processing team has been working to resolve the issue so that funds can be received but it has not been resolved yet. We apologize for the delay. The funds should be received soon but I do not have an exact time frame." I've been told the same thing each time I call. I will be reporting them to the Department of Education. This is unacceptable. I am very disappointed in Kaplan. It's time to search for another school.

I'm glad to know that everything that I did for this school, Kaplan University didn't get me anywhere in my state of CT. Their associates degree credits which is 90 altogether found out all of these classes I did for early childhood development turned into a very bad experience for me. Now I'm trying to fix this mess up in another school. They said that all of the classes have no content that is usable for the teaching degree. No one told me that this school actually wasn't going to get me anywhere. I wasted a lot of my student loans hoping to fix this but I suggest people to look at the reviews and decide for yourself if this is something that you would get yourself into. I'm glad for the success stories but I got to say I have none, since the associates degree I have will mean absolutely crap. I'm mad.

I have read other complaints and am in agreement with all, and have had the same experience. I'm not sure it matters whether I finish or not. I am 56 years old and am embarrassed that I have let myself get into this situation. My only hope is the lawsuit against Kaplan University is going to be of help. For all I know this might be another organization trying to take advantage of low income individuals. My most obvious discovery of the misinformation told to me by Kaplan was after I was given an amount awarded by financial aid of around 15,000 it was changed to a little over 10,000 just before I was told my stipend check was being sent. This makes no sense, and when I called to question this I was given three different answers by three different employees. I hope everyone seeking help finds it.

I was attending Kaplan University online. During my second semester I decided to drop a class; before the deadline of course. I asked the financial aid department if my Financial Aid would cover the class I wanted to add, I was told yes. I explained that I don't have money to pay out of pocket for classes and only wanted to drop the one class and pick up another. Yet again I was told financial aid is covering the class I picked up.

I'm being charged for labs, regardless if the class has a lab or not. This isn't right. Why take people money if labs are not needed. I regretted going to this school and I can't wait to finish off. I will never recommend anyone to attend Kaplan. Take your business somewhere else.

I will have to say this, it is unheard of to have to wait for over 3.5 weeks to receive a check from financial aid. Dec 23rd, 2015 for disbursement, not Jan 5, 2016, and check was mailed on Jan 7, 2016. Still nothing in my mailbox. Kaplan needs to have financial aid checks done prior to a major winter break time not after the fact. I have a printed schedule of when mine are suppose to go out. They have failed. People have bills and things to do, but to be screwed is bad judgement on their behalf. I am going to do 1 more semester then I am going to transfer my credits to a real college that at least offers direct deposit for financial aid.

I attended Kaplan on three different occasions. The first time I had to leave due to personal reasons and had only completed 1/2 of black mod. The second time I returned I was having financial issues and was switched to evening classes and I was in class one night and received a note stating I needed to see financial aid. Upon seeing financial aid I was suspended for nonpayment. Remind you I was finished with all of my classes but I had to retake 2 of my classes because I was suspended the second week of green mod. So I didn't bother to return after my suspension. I received a phone call from the school asking me to return. They wanted me to complete my classes and do my externship. So I went to talk to them. I was told that I could do my retakes and my externship and graduate.

I couldn't believe the complaints. I thought I was the ONLY student with this issue at Kaplan. I am in shock & thoroughly disappointed in Kaplan. I have been told the same exact lies concerning a "glitch" in their system. It makes sense now why the young lady was so matter of fact about it. It makes sense now, this is what they tell all students. As expensive as this school is, this doesn't make sense at all. I guarantee all of this will not benefit this school at all. They are going to get sued. They can't continue to lie.

It seems a lot have posted issues with their stipend during the December 2015 time period, I too have had many issues. I have called numerous times, with seven different excuses. I have heard it all, from "They needed to verify my scholarship" (nope, already was approved), to deadlines via the federal government demand a 30 day waiting period. The latest seems to be a lot more accurate, but in no way shape or form seems legal. Federal guidelines state stipends must be delivered within a timely manner. Mine is an academic scholarship, so it may differ legally.

The financial aid dept is very poor. They are late with the student aid disbursements at Christmas Time... Maybe they don't celebrate Christmas but they have gentiles who do, and not getting the awarded stipend at Christmas is poor poor customer service. The excuse they give is not valid, and they are withholding student aid promised by the federal government. They can manually do the accounting if the computer system isn't working and write the checks themselves to pay the students who count on this money sent ON TIME to meet their college expenses.

Dealing with Kaplan University financial aid department, has not been a good experience. I am 4 weeks into my class and they keep giving me the run around about when the funds will show on my ledger. First it was the 23rd of December. Now they anticipate after the holiday. They have received the funds, it just a glitch in their system they are sorting out. What kind of mess is that. I've been to 2 well know universities and they have never held money or let their systems delay students from receiving funds. What happen to direct deposit? That's what a lot of schools do now.

They only want your money! Be careful out there with this type of "universities." I recently applied with my scholarship. Everything was great. They helped me enrolled, etc. But after a few months my online classes disappeared! I contacted them immediately and all they told me was that I had lost my scholarship due to me not doing my assignments, which is crazy because I have been working hard on them all day and night. I contacted the scholarship and they told me that they had not be receiving my scores nor assignments from the university, which I was just shocked and disappointed. I did all that hard work for nothing. Kaplan is under investigation.

Upon enrolling with Kaplan University everything has been great until I noticed when it was time for the school to reimburse the stipend payouts there has always been an excuse to why student refunds has not been sent. Now I have been waiting for my stipend payout for two months now and the only answer that the school can give me is that "We are working to fix the problem", in yet the problem is still not fixed. I'm very concerned about this issue. Its called the central processing unit is what Kaplans Financial aid representatives are stating to me. Therefore if the central processing unit has errors how are the instructors receiving their paychecks, and how are the classes being paid for? I feel that the explanations are a little too fishy. How can I resolve this problem without contacting an attorney?

I have been going to Kaplan University since November 11, 2015 and I have heard too many lies about me getting my disbursement check. I was told that I would receive it on the 5th week that I attended the school, it is now my 8th week. When I called today now their complaint is they have a maintenance problem and they are working on getting my refund check. Well I told them that I would like for them to send my money back to the lender, which is the department of education because they are full of **, and I know I have been to two other schools and their refund checks comes out within the 3rd week of you attending their school. I have never heard of you going for 10 weeks of class and you have to finish it first and get part of your check then when you receive your grades you get the other part. This school is full of it, and they hold people's money for no apparent reason.

I received a certification and BA from the online school program. The program itself was great, but financially it's a ripoff and when you graduation you have NO EXPERIENCE. Now I am out of school and trying to get a job but they refuse to give prospective employers my school scores because I owe them money. How can I pay them if I can't get a job? They didn't tell me this until I tried contacting them SEVERAL times. I finally got a letter in the mail on how to log into my account to request my transcripts. So I log in and it says zero balance. Go to request transcripts and suddenly there is a balance. Do yourself a favor. Go to a local school and get into their online program. Kaplan wants your money.

I am a current student enrolled at Kaplan University and have been getting the run around with my financial aid since October 28, 2015! When I was accepted to the university, I used Grad Plus Loans to pay for my tuition and the very first term they could not locate my Master Promissory Note DESPITE my sending them a copy. I had to complete another one and prolong my disbursement because of that. Now, they have been holding my financial aid since October 28th and it is now December 16th.

This is a FOR PROFIT SCHOOL!!!!!! They only care about enrollment.... and making sure you take advantage of all their STUDENT LOANS! They get paid on the number of students enrolled!!!!! They could careless if you graduate or not. They have less than 12% graduation rate! What does that tell you! Better off going to a community college and transferring to a 4 year university! DON'T BE SCAMMED!

In 2008 I was attending Kaplan on campus in Bakersfield, CA. I only needed to finish two classes to receive my degree. I went to Casper Wyoming for Christmas and was snowed in. When I contacted my instructor I was told they wasnt offering the 2 classes anymore that I needed to attend online. Needless to say I wasnt able. Now I owe 35,000 in loans. They are in fault and I'm being punished. I have no degree and I feel let down!

Kaplan MCE for Texas Realtor - I found the Kaplan online course very difficult to maneuver and called for assistance about 10 times. Also help is not available on the weekends. I thought I had finished one course but 1 month later discovered that I had taken all the quizzes but not the final. On one quiz I answered a question right but Kaplan marked in incorrect. I telephoned and reported the mistake to be told that it did not matter because I passed anyway. I then signed up for a different online course with McKissock and was extremely pleased. I was able to work through their program with ease and learned information that I will actually use in my real estate career. The McKissock course was the best mandatory continuing education course I have ever taken.

Ok, I've been seeing articles about Kaplan being under investigation for preying on people during the hard economic times in 2008 through 2011 (I believe those are the years). I was laid off during this time and of course I wanted to make life better and clicking on an ad landed a phone call within 5 minutes. I checked it out and was able to get enrolled without much up front, yes I was told that being an accelerated school, it would be a little more expensive. Really? Expensive? Double the cost of the local community college and I think I would've learned a lot more.

I started at Kaplan online NP program in Feb 2015, I was told in the beginning that They help with clinical sites, they are for working adults, and urgent cares were acceptable. I specifically asked if urgent cares were acceptable and if they assisted with sites and was told yes. Only to find out half way through the program that neither of those are true. So, basically I have wasted almost a year and student loans only to have to drop out of the program because the clinical sites are too restrictive. I work M-F and the only clinics they allow are family practice or internal medicine (which are only open M-F). Urgent cares are open 7 days a week and I could've gotten my clinicals done with this. I feel mislead and think this is unfair and not a true description of promoting working adults.

I had enrolled in May 2015, unfortunately I had not read any reviews before getting myself into this mess. NEVER was I informed that I was going to need to pay almost $700 out of pocket each term. No one told me that until a month before all this money was due. So I needed to come up with $700 in 4 weeks with a biweekly paying job making barely $300. Everyone I have spoken to says that there is something seriously wrong with this situation and that I should not be paying anything until I have earned my degree. I never would have enrolled if I had known I would have to shell out all of this money. I can't afford this. Then my payment went up without me being notified and when I emailed them about it, they said that their tech fees increased. So, I'm just supposed to shell out even more cash whenever they decide to up their fees for things without notifying me? I don't think so.

I honestly believe that a poor teacher should not be hired, but fired. If an educator indirectly ignores a student or refuses to answer a student then she has a problem - a serious issue. I find that she is very disoriented and careless. How is it possible for a comment to be made in this fashion without directly addressing the person: In terms of "empty questions" I think the author is referring to the times that students may participate by asking questions that are (a) already answered somewhere (syllabus) or (b) surface level questions that can be answered by flipping to an index, locating a page number, and jotting down the answer.

I started at Kaplan in October 2014. Because I want to be more involved with school and be on campus for networking and more possibilities, I decided to transfer to my local university. Upon applying and having my transcripts sent over from Kaplan, I was informed that the online classes were only vocational and not all of the credits would transfer. Out of 40 credits, they only accepted 9. I have worked very hard this past year to keep up with what I thought was my dream coming true. The financial aid stipends are always late and they don't even have direct deposit! I would not suggest any online college to anyone. EVER. You are better off going to a REAL college.

I graduated from Kaplan University in 2011 with a BS in Criminal Justice. I am over $40,000 in student loan debt for a useless piece of paper. I have been told by countless employers that my credits are not accredited and I do not meet their minimum requirements. I have to apply for jobs that a high school diploma is the highest education. It is not fair. I have the debt to prove that I have a BS, but no accreditation to back it up.

Not all, but most of the instructors there are extremely unprofessional. The director herself does not handle business well either. A parent has to continuously complain about every situation in order for them to get up and do their jobs. Even asking for my CPR card was a hassle for them. To top it off instructor ** was charging myself as well as other students $25 to get a copy of our CPR cards and we found out from other instructors there that there is no charge and there should be no charge.

I made the mistake of trying to further my education through Kaplan College in 2012. I did everything that was asked of me. Unfortunately Kaplan didn't uphold their end of it. I was told during both my visit and orientation I would be provided with an externship after I completed my courses but that was not true. At the end of my course I was told they were having trouble finding me an externship due to my request to have the externship in the evenings due to my work schedule. This information regarding the night externship was provided to them prior to any of the paperwork getting started and still I was told by the advisor that getting a night externship would not be a problem.

During my time at this school, I had to drop my classes for a semester because of an illness that landed me in the hospital. I dropped my classes BEFORE any of the time constraints and still had to pay $500 out of pocket for dropping. I also talked to future employers about going here and if my degree would be something they would look at... Big fat NO! I left the school. Now I'm 8,000 in debt. Even better, they offer online courses that aren't even accredited! User beware!!! Go somewhere else!

I actually ended up here because I was exploring the career network site ON Kaplan and came across the suggestion to look at the ratings for hire for your degree. So after going from link to link, I ended up here reading reviews. I can understand if people had problems with billing or customer service as I have worked for companies that have had the same complaints. Basically what I see is that people are more likely to complain about a bad experience than report a good one. I have not had any problems with my financial aid or getting charged for things I should not be. It is all broken down under the account section showing the amount for each class and the financial aid disbursements as well as whether a balance is owed or an overpayment refund is due. I have called and been able to speak to an advisor or financial aid immediately and the last advisor I spoke with went above and beyond to help me.

People save your money and go to a non profit school! These people don't care about their students. They just want money!! I made a mistake when I was 19 and decided to go to Kaplan even though it was not really recognized as a actual school by employers. First let me tell you off by saying the counselors will tell you anything to get you to go that Kaplan because they also profit off it too. Anyways to the real issue. I was getting overcharged fees I didn't even know where they were coming from. I paid it off anyways because I am a fool. I was charged 2,500 for a class I didn't even take and I still had to pay it off.

I attended this "University" back in 2012 after wanting to further my education. Right away, I was harassed about signing up and told what an opportunity it would be. More like what a scam. The classes were a joke. We had three different presidents by the time I had graduated. I have NEVER been able to get a job with this degree and now I owe outrageous amounts in student loan debt. I was also lied to about my Pell Grant. They told me I would be receiving it back and I never saw a penny of it. Save your time and money and go to a community college. At least it will mean something.

Kaplan University (online) is not approved by the APA, therefore, I cannot become licensed in NC as a Psychology Associate. According to the NC Psychology Board: "Some of the reasons for the denial, based upon Board rule, include, but are not limited to the fact that a program must have an identifiable body of students in residence at the institution . . . and an identifiable full-time psychology faculty in residence at the institution . . . providing instruction at the home campus of the institution; and that the program include one years residency which is defined as 30 semester (45 quarter) hours taken on a full-time or part-time basis at the institution.

Let's start off by saying that if I could I wouldn't even give them one star. I started at Kaplan in 2012 and everything was great. I made the dean's list many terms and was getting excellent grades. This would have been my last term and I unexpectedly had to go to a different state due to a family emergency. While I was there I was not able to log on to my classes. When I returned home and was able to have internet service I received an email stating that I was un-enrolled due to attendance. I understood that but my issue is that now they are charging me over $3000 for a class that they received money for already. They will not even let me re-enroll until the balance is paid. I told them that I am not going to pay this because they have already received money for the class and that this needs to be taken care of.

I have been with Kaplan since 11/2013. I will graduate this year on 10/6/15. Kaplan has been good to me. Someone had said that financial aid was late. Yes this was the first year that they have got behind on getting our accounts right. You're paying for online school, it's not going to be cheap guys. I'm going to start TSTC in spring semester of 2016 and yes, Texas State Technical College is way cheaper than online. I'm reading bad comments about the professors at Kaplan University. The teachers know what they are doing. This is a accredited college. Before talking bad about the school, take a trip to a campus and see how it is. I live in Texas so the nearest campus is about 8 to 10 hours from me.

I have attended this school since OCT 2013. There have been many things said on here that are correct about the school that I thought were anomalies. The two biggest and most accurate are about the financial aid department and how these individuals will enroll anyone. I will dispute slightly (about one 1.5 stars worth out of 5) that the people here at the school have poor communication skills. They will get back with you, but it is really on their own time line and the situation may be too late to deal with.

I started online classes in October 2014, finished my first term with having to repeat 1 course because somehow the instructor didn't receive my papers. I started my second term, hardly heard from anyone, could barely get a response from the professor about anything. Then all of a sudden I'm just getting ready to start term 3 and they claimed I never completed my 1st term and failed a course in my second. So they kicked me out but yet want me to pay a somewhere around $3,000 for my schooling which mind you they received financial aid for those terms I was enrolled.

I made the grave mistake of working for Kraplan UK briefly. At the time Kraplan, with its very debatable background, were desperate to demonstrate how squeaky clean it had become, by issuing new guidelines on bribery and corruption. In conversation I pointed out that corruption existed around the world - a sad but undeniable truth. Three months later I was hauled into HR and accused of bribery and corruption! This despite the fact that I had no access to company money, credit cards or funds of any sort. A clique of friends around the CEO - let's call them company apparatchik who disliked the idea of my being active and wanting to achieve things (it rocked their cosy quiet boat) - had falsified statements against me e.g. I had bribed the Indian Government with $600 and had a huge slush fund at my disposal. Complete garbage as they were forced to acknowledge despite wanting to get something - anything - on me.

I had enrolled with Kaplan university online in feb, 2015. I started classes in march of 2015. Everything was fine with them until they had received my financial aide. They had been calling multiple times a week to make sure that everything was fine, then after receiving money I no longer got ANY phone calls. Trying to get into contact with ANYONE was a joke! The professors are not professional, the counselors are never in when you need to speak with someone and you never get your questions answered and if you do it has changed multiple times between people. They didn't even let me know that they had removed me as a student. Then when trying to figure out why I was no longer a student I was told "It's not my problem to figure out what you did wrong." Well long story short STAY AWAY FROM THIS JOKE OF A SCHOOL. THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY! THEY OVERCHARGE YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

I have top grades for assignment (90%) and for the exam, there are/were 8 topics: 100%, 90%, 90%, 80%, 80%, 95%, 95%, 65%. This 65% I asked for help and feedback and got the most pitiful answers. "Read chapter 7", for example. I explained that with each question how circumstance A would be correct and with different circumstances B would be correct. Another example I explained how both answers are correct according to the book and the government websites. I have worked in this field for two years, I just want to show them I know the content and the industry guidelines. I feel that I am dealing with a consortium of incompetent mouth breathers who want to use me as their bank. This is the last time I use any online education institute.

My husband signed up and was only able to take 3 classes. They charged him for the entire degree and sent it to a loan company. He was charged over 15,000. When he called Kaplan, they were very rude and defensive and they said all he could do is write a letter to the Dean!

I have been at Kaplan since October 2014. Everything was good at first but then the financial aid office started being late with your financial aid. You look at your Accounts page and it shows something totally different than when you call them. I may just look for some other colleges to attend because I do not want to waste my time.

I just completed my BS degree in Health care Administration in the fall of 2014. That is until they told me that I had $2,500 balance that I had to pay before I could get my degree or my transcripts. Mind you, I had been making $125.00 payments monthly during the year, I had just gotten a $10,000 scholarship. Once I got my scholarship, any and all balance disappeared. I would say a month or two later this balance come out of nowhere. Every term my classes would cost more and no one could explain to me why they costs so much.

Folks, now that Kaplan has been sued and required to pay 1.3 billion back to its Texas students, the entire franchise needs to be sued under the same circumstances. They have taken an outrageous amount of money from federal student loans and I have definitely had underqualified teachers throughout my four years at the institution.

When I first signed up I informed Kaplan that I needed to use financial aid and could not afford any out of pocket expenses. I was told that if there is a debt remaining the financial aid for the next year would cover it. Upon doing my second part of classes my account was put on hold and I could not access any of my classes. I called Kaplan and they said I owe them $700. When I told them about my phone call when I first joined I was told that I was misinformed. I explained to them that I could not pay any out of pocket expenses due to a divorce but it fell on deaf ears. Even my adviser was not very helpful. It seems like that all they care about is the money and how much they can get from each student. I would not recommend this university to anybody unless Kaplan wants to do the right thing.

While going through a file folder at home, I came across some paperwork from Kaplan. I logged online to do a quick comparison of my loans and the Kaplan documents I came across. The numbers weren't adding up, so I called my loan service provider, and sure enough I was being over changed. I called Kaplan and spoke with a very rude gentleman in the FA department. Turns out I am being charged for a class that I NEVER took. After I withdrew from a class at Kaplan, they re-registered me for the same course without my consent. The rep I spoke with claims that they sent the FA money I received back to my loan service provider, but clearly they didn't. The course cost a total of $2400- since I had no clue I was re-enrolled in this class, I was also unaware that Kaplan was charging me for this. They did not reach out to me once to collect the money, they just sent it over to a collection agency.

I transferred from UOP to Kaplan in April 2015. I am having a positive experience thus far. Classes are much cheaper than UOP and teachers provide assistance; Kaplan also has seminars for educational purposes. Students need to be patient for stipend pay. Mine is coming along pretty quickly oppose to UOP. UOP never allows students an update on stipend pay, Kaplan does. Their education process is much better too. I recommend Kaplan over UOP any day. Just be patient for pay.

I initially started at Kaplan back in 2009. I attended for 2 terms before dropping from their school. I am an Army VET and DID advise them of this when I enrolled but never received payments from the VA at all and was automatically placed with student loans. I didn't realize their ** up until I enrolled at Middle TN State and started receiving BAH payments and they paid my tuition for me. Last Oct I decided that online courses was easier for me so I decided to give them another chance.

Worked for Kaplan from early 2006 thru May 2007 as a Business Development Manager. My job had me talking to prospective students about Kaplan and their programs. We were instructed to push as hard as possible to enroll students by getting their contact information, putting them in touch with a counselor and then following up daily with the prospective student and convincing them to enroll at Kaplan. If we didn't meet our unwritten quota of enrolled students, we were harassed, called out publicly and put on notice by the supervisors,. Having worked at other on-line Universities, I was disgusted and demeaned by the Kaplan programs. Worst academic programs, crappy advisers, incompetent supervisors and dishonest managers.

I started at Kaplan in 2008. I was fine up to 2013. I thought I was done and had my Bachelor's Degree. Wrong, I was short one credit and they didn't contact me. I wanted my degree sent and that is how it all started. They still owe me money and I have not received it as of today's date. If I would like to enroll, I can pay up and after I take one term, we are good. Are you kidding? I'm not working in Law. I'm at Safeway and student loan debt of 65,000. Did I forget to mention I'm 55 years old and when I started, it was a dream come true? All my kid's grown and it was my turn. It makes me sick to think about how I'm going to pay back the money as a deli clerk.

I graduated in December 2013 from Kaplan University. I graduated with a BS Degree in Information Technology with an emphasis on Web Development. I have not been able to get a job because I do not have the skills to be a web developer. I found this out by working for a guy I knew for six weeks and was fired because I didn't have the coding skills I need.

I did not write this, I am very happy.

I went to this school and graduated with a 3.9 GPA and $10,000 student loan which I expected my new job would help me pay off. They are secretive about the cost ($29,000). When I began the program I was told I qualified for financial aid, so I went ahead and signed the paperwork. A month into school financial aid pulled me back in and said my financial aid did not go through and that I would be forced to take out a loan. They reminded me I had already signed the papers and I would be responsible to pay them the money regardless. I felt trapped so I went ahead and took a loan out.

When I first contacted Kaplan I told the rep that I didn't have any income to pay for school. This was the reason for attending classes. They were so accommodating finding a small scholarship that matched my shortage. Great, until I had health issues a botched surgery to be specific, and requested to take a break from classes, which they told me I could not. Really? I'm a grown woman not in public elementary or high school. Needless to say my grades dropped and then I wasn't eligible for the scholarship anymore and after 3 sets of classes accrued a $687 bill. Well like I said, I don't have any money over my bills so I got kicked out with 4 classes to go.

They charge for everything. This is the first college or university I've been to that charges graduates for their first transcript. Most other colleges give you the transcript with your degree, not Kaplan. You have to pay $10.00 per copy even if it is an electronic copy. They don't even have to pay for paper, envelopes or stamps but they still charge $10.00. If nothing else they should give you the first copy free along with your degree. They charged me $2,010 per class for 11 classes. Dang!!!

I became a graduate student with Kaplan in the fall 2014. Not one department ever gave me the right direction, nor the correct guidance during my entire experience, leading me to withdrawal in Jan 2015. The financial aid, student accounts, and student services departments were completely unreliable and not one thing I was told was correct. Example # 1 - You are told you will receive your financial aid deposit within two weeks of the university receiving the funds. I did not get mine until the class was nearly over (6 week long class).

I currently in Kaplan for medical assistant in Philadelphia campus and there's only one word to explain it-- "ghetto." This school is horrible and I regret so much, the teachers are rude and like to humiliate their students. We're here to learn and we make mistakes - that's why we are in school! Please go to a community college, these institutes are not worth it. They are a waste of time and money.

I say it's getting robbed only its by the worst kind of people, the kind that'll smile in your face and tell you whatever you want to hear while they rob you for your money, play with your emotions and manipulating every honest aspect of the education institution with fake smiles and a script to keep you feeling like "you go girl" for 8 little months. I've run into some of my peers from the program I took MOS (which during the time I went the job crash happened and we were all so snowed no one quit), no one has found work.

I only went there online for 2 weeks and they are sending me bills repeatedly for 2,500 some dollars. They are scammers and you won't get a good education at all with them. When I was doing my 2 classes I didn't learn a damn thing and then when I tried to drop out they kept pushing me to stay. Also when you call they don't ever know a damn thing their talking about the people on the phone are like huh? derrr what?

I started Kaplan University in March, 2011. I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue at the time, but I went ahead and decided on a Bachelor's in Human Services (which is a joke BTW; research before you decide on a career path. For instance, my state doesn't have jobs for Human Services. We do for Social Workers, but that is a completely different college/training everything). In the beginning, everything was wonderful. I won't sit here and lie. The academic advisors are wonderful. They care about you a lot and they really do care if you succeed or fail. They are with you every step of the way.

I started attending Kaplan Online in the Health and Wellness Program. This was one of the biggest mistakes I made. The university is not accredited, and the tuition costs are outrageous! With help from a DVR counselor, I have transferred to the UW-Superior's Heath and Wellness Management Program. I will not have enough financial aid available to graduate because I started at Kaplan. If I would have know this, I definitely would have never went to Kaplan.

I went through their enrollment process. First they had me talk to advising, then financial aid office, then they placed me in classes. I told them that I needed to make sure that I was going to get funded by Federal Aid. They told me not a problem. We went through all the paperwork and I was assured that I was fully covered for the classes. I only needed three classes they told me that I have been cleared for Federal Student Aid and I would have to take two classes per term. So away we went, with three classes I was going to need and three that I did not need. This was so I could get into their masters program of accounting. Now that they have screwed up, I wanted to take my transcript that I have earned of my Bachelor degree and go to another school. They placed my transcript on a hold and I cannot even continue to do so. They are wanting me to pay 4,000 for their screw up.

You know, as I paid a student loan payment today, it got me to thinking about how enrolling in Kaplan was the BIGGEST mistake of my life. I am on the hook for $4,000 and only attended your online classes for 1 (yes, that is ONE) month. I was told that I missed the drop deadline and that there was nothing that anyone could do. Even when I explained that I needed to drop due to a death in the family. I deferred the loan as long as possible, trying to contact Kaplan for resolution. Shocker that there was none, but even three years later, it PISSES me off every time that Kaplan took this money and I get NOTHING but a bill. The BIGGEST joke and fraud ever. Lesson learned, I guess. Stick with a local community college who hopefully has some ethics.

I started going to Kaplan in 2010 and graduated in 2011 for the office special program. I applied for FA and I got it but they told me I would receive back but not the case. It was applied to my loan and I still owe over 9000 dollars. I had to pay over 500 in cash for what wasn't covered just graduate. This school isn't accredited, I can't get a job and I'm in debt. They don't tell you this while you're going, it's a rip off and I'm pissed off.

I can honestly say I would never refer anyone to kaplan. You have no kind of knowledge to help the students. I have contacted use a number amount of times and it takes us day on end to reply. The amount use charge to do the course is terrible considering the amount of support use show. I understand that the course is for me to do but when I signed up I was told that there is always ongoing support. And then with the lack of help, when we fail you want to charge additional amount to redo the questions.. I'm very disappointed as I was suppose to start a career and due to the lack of help and support I then need to resit the questions which then lead to me missing a really good opportunity. Thanks for your ** help.

Supposedly Kaplan is an accredited university; however, NONE of the colleges I have tried to transfer to accept ANY credits. It was a waste of time, energy, and most importantly MONEY. I DO NOT recommend Kaplan University to ANYONE.

I started Kaplan in 2010. They were completely accredited for the Medical Assisting program. Well in September 2011 they dropped their accreditation but I was told since I was already in the program I would still be eligible to take the state exam. That was a lie. I applied after graduation to take the exam, pain the money, and was told I could not take the exam due to not completing my degree through an accredited program.

Kaplan University has robbed me of my education. This institution is supposed to be about learning and integrity however it has proven to be nothing but lies and pricey lies at that. I attended Kaplan since 2011 completing my BA through 2015 where I was enrolled in the Masters Applied behavior analysts program. In 2014 I was charged with plagiarism as I did not properly cite a webpage image, I did cite it but it was in the wrong format. I appealed the charge however they denied my appeal and I was told by my advisor that it was just a warning. Knowing from Kaplan reached out or spoke to me about this charge and the only means of communication between me and the people determining the charge was email. Sounds unfair but moving on.

I was given two Pell grants after The GI Bill had already paid my tuition. I have been waiting two weeks to get my grants but they did not show up! I called an women at Kaplan Finance and told me it was in the mail!! And then nothing! I called same story. Until finally told I called and they said they applied it to my next semester. It says that I use the GI Bill. They were just keeping the money that is suppose to be mine. I am very upset and angry by this!

I enrolled (thank God it was only 2 classes) before I realized that my MBA would not be good anywhere. My adviser tried to say otherwise and they got pushy even, but I got out in the nick of time. I don't know why US World reports and endorses them. They are scam artists.

I have had nothing but problems with this university. Not only did they take over 10 weeks to process my transcripts, the only time I would hear from them was about money. I was denied financial aid because my years of credits from other schools were never processed, and was taking classes that my transfer credits would have covered. After trying to contact them numerous times about the issues, they would put the blame on somebody else every time and never give me a straightforward answer. I eventually gave up and lost all interest in my studies. This was an awful experience and I am still dealing with payment issues today after a year of not attending. If I have any recommendation about attending this school it's don't go at all!

I enrolled in Kaplan October 2014. I chose to do the online classes due it being more convenient for me. When I started it was fine. By week 2 everything got overwhelming. The way they operate the online program is trash. For one they lied to me about the way they record attendance. By the time I realized Kaplan was NOT for me it was too late to drop the course so I continued to log in my classes and do the bare minimum until the term was over. Kaplan is now saying I owe them $3600 which is ridiculous. How can I possibly owe that much money it just doesn't make sense to me. I wish I would have listened and never enrolled here. I am trying to figure out a way to dispute the charge because there is no way I am paying them. This should be illegal.

From the beginning since the first month teachers were extremely unprofessional in a sense that they would talk about there internal problems and my teacher wanted to quit but he didn't after all. Throughout the 9 months I was there I would complain about their staff not educating us on fundamentals of HVAC instead were advised to find the answer in the book. Then one teacher quit about 5 months in which led to us not having an instructor at all for two months, then they hired a guy who had these supposed credentials but this guy was taking advise from us the students.

When I decided to enrolled in Kaplan University online classes I communicated with an adviser whom guided me through the process of enrollment. I completed all that I was responsible for completing, such as financial-aid and contacting my last university to send Kaplan an official transcript. My adviser informed me that they had everything they needed and I was enrolled in class (January 2015). After completing the first class (February 2015), I received an email that I was dropped from classes because Kaplan did not have my official transcript. I physically went to my last university to inquire about my transcript being sent to Kaplan. I was informed they were sent, and was shown proof my transcript had been sent electronically.

I was told when I enrolled I could transfer my existing credits. I was also told I could use my degrees. I have two degrees from Kaplan and cannot use either one. Now my check is garnished for student loans. I could have went to school locally at a credited college for half the price and used the degree I would have received locally.

I enrolled in one of the grad programs. They talk a good talk, but they don't deliver. I had nothing but technical problems, tried to talk to my adviser but he went out on maternity leave w/o telling me. I couldn't resolve the it issues and eventually dropped the program. Now I owe for the entire term. This school is a complete rip off! Something needs to be done like class action lawsuit! Anyone interested? Respond to me or email **.

Kaplan college cincinnati ohio - I went to Kaplan college for Medical assistant classes..... Enjoyed learning everything, had great teachers, went on my externship with chance of no job..... Got hurt on the job, called Kaplan. They said I should have called during my externship. I was one day out of the externship. And I still have helped, trouble using my thumbs. I feel they should me when I called.... I still don't have a job in my field and I am still trying with no help but a large tuition bill. I wish I would have never gone to Kaplan. I would be better off today.....

Since I have enrolled with Kaplan, the only problems that I have experienced is the lack of communication between staff members that work in admissions. I would get calls from one person that is inquiring about documents that I needed to send during my enrollment period and I would tell the person that those documents were already sent. This happened because whoever I spoke to that received my documents either did not put it in their system that the documents have been received or that person failed to communicate with other staff members.

I have a balance on my account. Previous due to many personal situations I had to take a leave and take care of my health and home. I need and want to return to school. I understand you have this NEW policy that completely blocks students from accessing their classes due to delinquencies on their account. I am not trying to negate my financial responsibilities, but I feel it is HORRIBLE that a difference of 3 days in the time that I can resolve the balance will cause me to be kicked out of school when I only have 6 classes left to complete my degree.

Stay away from this company. I ordered the course and cancelled within 24 hours. I called the company to cancel. First, they won't respond to your email. When I called, their employees are terrible. The rep was rude and denied to tell me his name. When I requested to talk to his supervisor, he did not allow me to. The promise that his sup would call me back never happened. Second, they said the books already shipped and charged me the shipping and handling, $50. They lied because I received an email 7 days later to notify me that the books were shipped. On the website, they did not mention about the restocking fees when you cancelled, but they charged you anyway. Like I said, it's not a good company to do business with. I am amazed how they can stay in business with bad practice like that. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH KAPLAN. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU. THEY JUST WANT TO ROB YOUR HARD MONEY.

I attended in 2009. After graduating, I never could get a job because either no work experience or other issues that discouraged me. Now I have the debt building up on me and I have yet to use my degree in the field of study as a MOA. I started to attend local college and had my loan on hold for a while. I wanted to see if there is a way to reduce the interest or eliminate it completely and figure out a way to pay the original loan off instead. I don't mind paying off what I used; just can't afford the interest on top that keeps accruing ever month.

I decided to check out Kaplan and contacted them. I was going through all the step to submit my admission documents. Without even confirming everything they had enrolled me to start classes the very next week. I took a deep breath and decided to go with it. I was enrolled in 2 classes. The day the term started I had only 1 class showing up. They had automatically withdrawn me from a class that apparently transferred over without letting me know. So finally after getting a hold of the adviser......... which took almost a week, I was enrolled in a second class. However, I didn't want the class she signed me up for. I was wanting to take Accounting I and she enrolled me in Accounting II. She said to try and stick it out because it was getting too late to switch a class and then I wouldn't have enough credits.

I was informed with just three terms left that my financial aid will run out before I complete my degree and therefore my diploma will be held until I pay the amount of over six thousand dollars for the last terms. I am getting my degree because I have been working low paying jobs for so long that I wanted to move up in my career and now I am finding that this degree, when I finally get it since it will likely take me a year to pay off the balance and then receive it, is likely going to do nothing for me. The majority of "real" colleges will not except credits from Kaplan and therefore I am unable to use them to transfer to another school. Therefore, I am now stuck with over 50 thousand dollars of debt for a Bachelor's degree that should have only cost about 30 thousand. All of that for a degree that is ultimately meaningless.

I withdrew from Kaplan in 2013 after my professor refused to accept my work due to the fact it was not written on a Mac program. This was for an American Studies class, nowhere did it state I must own a Mac device to be in the class. I got an F for the withdraw and life went on. This past summer, I started getting collection calls for owing $1,400. I knew that couldn't be right so I refused to pay. I had multiple scholarships and grants applied to my account that I knew they had yet to use, or refund me for that matter. I had not received my stipend for 2 years, so I knew even that money was still in my account. I logged in and printed off every billing and balance receipt as well as funds disbursement for my entire degree.

I recently graduated with my BA. The main reason I had been so hesitant to go to Kaplan was because of money. When I had first started out with the financial aid department, they had told me I would always have enough money to cover any loans and I would be receiving refund checks for anything left over. And I did. And the 3-4 times I called in those 2 years double checking to make sure with getting money back that I wouldn't owe anything, they stated again that I didn't owe anything in loans. Only once did I ever owe anything and that was when my FA didn't clear in time for the New Year, THE ONLY TIME I ever owed anything.

I enrolled in Kaplan in 2012, and had made all straight A's throughout much of my program, except for two classes. When it came time for my comprehensive exams, the professor that was in charge of them did not like my writing, and then I had to re enroll to take them again. Needless to say I did not pass the second time either, and so I have been kicked out of the school. I called the University yesterday on December 4,2014 to tell them I was ready to walk away with some credits earned, and nothing to show for it. I thoroughly discussed with Kaplan. The comps were four papers with ten pages for each topic. In order to get a master’s degree. I have to re-enroll some place else.

To all of those that are reading all of these bad reviews thinking you should get as far as possible away from this school don't believe everything you read here. First off, the school is very expensive. You would be better off to go to a local school that would be much cheaper. However, not everyone can do that because they have a job or other things that require them to do online schooling. That's where Kaplan comes into play. They are regionally accredited, but this doesn't mean all of their credits will transfer to other schools. This is true for ANY college. Heck, there are schools that won't even allow you to transfer some of your credits within the same school towards the same exact degree when you transfer school locations. If you're interested in transferring credits at some point do your home work and make sure the school you want to transfer to at some point will indeed accept those credits. Also, make sure your grades are good enough to transfer.

This school is a joke. It's all fake! I think a monkey could "get in" to their school. The Lincoln campus president is rude and fake too. No one should ever go there. It's 30K for a Associates Degree which is outrageous. They hound you if you decide it's not what you want to do. No means No!!!

Attended Kaplan in 2005. In my 3rd semester my "Counselor" who was in Charge of what classes I had to take put me in a class that had a Pre-Requisite Class I had NEVER Taken. I contacted my counselor tried to get the class changed and he refused. Without the Pre-Requisite the class was Impossible to Understand and Pass. I gave up and Dropped Out of College COMPLETELY Because I had No Hope of Passing or Getting a Degree. Ended up owning $9,000.00 AFTER My Grants! I have spent YEARS Paying on these Student Loans, Gone into Default and had my Tax Returns Taken for several years. I have NO Degree and Yet I paid for One. :( Very Hard when you're a Widow with a Baby to start with but to get Screwed Like I DID MADE IT MUCH WORSE!!! I still haven't returned to college because I'm so afraid of ending up in the same boat I'm almost out of now. :(

I started Kaplan November 2007, with a death of my mother in law in December 2007, then started divorce proceedings, I begged Kaplan to allow me to take a leave of absence, which they denied after failing the courses. They encouraged me to continue on after failing the classes twice (which they charged me for both times) they suspended me out of the University. After a year of Appealing their decision, I was granted to be allowed back into the school, but I refused. Since then I took Medical billing and coding somewhere else and made more student loans got a diploma but to no avail no job in that field either. Here it is 2014 and I have no job, no means of income and barely living. Thanks for the education!

This school is a joke. I started out with Andover College in Maine and Kaplan bought it after my first year there, so then I finished my associate's with Kaplan. They then contacted me and said because I had done so well academically that I would get a certain percentage (I want to say 5?) off tuition plus I earned a $5k scholarship towards my bachelor's degree. This sounded like a great deal to me, so I signed up to earn my bachelor's degree.
