I am having such a great experience in college, thanks to all my instructors and staff. They have all been so insightful and helpful. The classes are educational and very self-explanatory. Not only have I managed to maintain my highest G.P.A. in the history of my education, but I have remained interested in the major that I have chosen.

While much of my experience has been positive, the Graduate Portfolio class has been much less than satisfactory. Professors in these classes have a history of being unprofessional and unfair in their grading practices. The class is non-accredited and yet required, and if the professor grades unfairly there is no dispute process. I am hoping that my experience improves in the coming months and the final Graduate Portfolio course I am required to take.

At first I was very hesitant on going back to school, I have a lot of responsibilities in life, and I don’t like committing myself to something if I feel I can’t give it my all. After giving it a shot I realized that it’s very flexible to fit around your schedule! I highly recommend University of Phoenix to anyone considering school.

I truly was aiming to receive my degree in accounting. However, the cost for me to pay out of pocket was extremely high. Being that this is an online school my first experience was better than me returning this time in 2024. A lot has changed with the staff and what courses they offer. I have moved on to another school because they have the program. I wanted at an affordable price.

College was something that was more like a dare to myself. I didn’t plan to go to college, I didn’t save up for college and I seriously didn’t think I was college material. Traveling allowed others around me to judge my diction and potential from a non-biased perspective. So, I jumped and found this university while working a part time job in LA, CA. The staff were all professional and had their own unique style, rhythm and strategies of aiding my learning journey.
My the highlight of my walk for my bachelor's my heart was both happy and in a weird type of disbelieve of the discovery of what I couldn’t believe was possible for the right reasons. Unfamiliarity lead me to positive change. A college degree symbolizes that some stereotypes are for the birds. Life is a riddle in some regards. I’m a better version of myself beyond the first of many finish line, and I look forward to whatever possibilities come my way. I didn’t just try this time. Persistence helped me accomplish what I just didn’t think was possible. Until soon life I want more. Thank you for listening.

I wanted to take a moment to share some concerns about my experience in the master's program. Although I’ve consistently earned excellent grades and worked hard throughout the duration of my studies, I feel that my achievements have gone unnoticed by the institution. Separately, I was invited to join the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), which, upon further research, does not appear to be accredited. In fact, numerous sources suggest it may be more of a scam than a legitimate honor society. On another note, I previously reached out for assistance regarding issues with my LinkedIn account but received no response, which further contributed to my frustration.
Additionally, I had a negative experience with one of the professors, and I was surprised to learn that the program does not offer alternative course options. Overall, the experience has felt transactional, rather than focused on genuine learning and growth. Looking back, I wish I had chosen a different school that values and recognizes its high-achieving students and provides better resources and support.

The October billing is still unresolved even though EdAssist stated they sent the payment. I have zero confidence in the voucher system and the billing. I sent back funds from my loan because your system said I was overfunded. I am concerned that my next course will be delayed again so I’ll just pay out of pocket so I can just finish and fight the billing nightmare later.

I love the University of Phoenix because it has allowed me to pursue my dream of higher education. However, there is a need for some improvements. As a student with a disability I have noticed that I might be one student who fell through the crack. The so called academic advisor assigned to me never even bothered to respond to my email. The finance department keeps saying that I owe money but they can't figure out how or why I owe. So, they keep sending payment demands to my email. I recommended a friend to the school and he is currently enrolled but I can't see myself recommending another person to this school.

I have reached out to my counselor and have not been able to contact her! I feel very anxious at this point in my Doctoral journey and I feel overwhelmed. I am a good student but the workload is definitely not supportive for those who have full time job. As a manager in healthcare and being in school I feel like this program should focus more on the dissertation process than other other task that don't provide and add to the experience.

I start my master's in another institution where I got my Bachelor’s, thinking that would be my best option. As disabled veteran went sick, contact them and still kick me out of the institution because they indicate that I missed 5 days because of a surgery. I was very very frustrated, they even change the scenario saying that I was the one to request to quit. Well after couple of months of break, got in contact with UPOX and I can't be more happy, they took care of me, it was new interface to learn but slowly I was catching up!!! I finally finished my Master's this past week!!! Thanks to the VA Education Dept and UPOX. Thanks to my wife and kids!!! I can finally say I am Master's Alumni from UPOX.

I have had a great experience with being a student at University of Phoenix. I completed my HR certificate in November 2024 and am now in my bachelor’s program. My instructors are always supportive and open to helping. The course work and expectations are clear and easy to understand with many ways to reach out for help if needed.
The technical side of school has always been very smooth without issue for me personally. Other than waiting on my financial aid package to be offered for this school year, I am overall very satisfied as a student at University of Phoenix. I have had a little more added stress due to the wait of funds for school but other than that I am very pleased with the school and all the factors that includes.

This is my second year of school everyone has been a great support team for me. School is what keeps me going because I am so excited to become a social worker. School save my life and I am just excited to be here and doing wonderful things for my family. Last year was very challenging for me because I had 8 deaths in my family and the staff has been so supportive of keeping me motivated. I had to have emergency surgery on February 4 and didn’t think I was going to be able to finish. I wanted to give up but God told me I have came to far to give up. God gave me that extra boost and look at me I am the product of what he created.
The school sent me an email telling me how proud that they are of me for being an exemplary student. That meant so much to me. This is the best school. I would recommend this school to everyone because it’s very convenient and they work around your schedule. They only give you one class at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed and that’s what I love about this school. It allow me to be focus on one thing at a time.

UOP makes it nearly impossible to fail because of the plethora of support and check-ins throughout every step.

I've been enrolled at the University of Phoenix for a year in April. From the moment I applied, someone has been with me every step of the way. Taking classes one course at time has been extremely beneficial to me because I have children. Had I known how much support this school provides from the moment you inquire information, I would've applied sooner. It's never too late to go back school and I personally highly recommend the University of Phoenix.

I requested a schedule change due to delay in obtaining my transcript. To avoid repeating classes already taken an Academic planner rearranged my schedule which left a short gap in between my classes. I was not informed that I would need to request a leave of absence nor was I informed that this adjustment would cause me to be unenrolled‼️ My financial aid has been delayed as a result causing me a financial inconvenience due to your failure to inform me of the consequences. My transcript still has not been reviewed I was told it would be approximately 10-14 days. Now I am being told there’s a back log. Your financial team should have access to my schedule and been aware that I was still enrolled.

My only issues are that the tuition is expensive and there are a lot of unnecessary phone calls/follow up (which I guess is better than the alternative) when a quick email would suffice. Otherwise, I have nothing negative to say. This is a great program for working adults as it allows you to complete your degree while working.

This is my third degree I am pursuing online. My first was with UoP Axia College for my Associates in Accounting from 2006 to 2008, then Thomas Edison State College from 2010 to 2012, and now my graduate degree here at the UoP for Data Science 2024 to 2025. What I love about the University of Phoenix, they allow you to focus on one subject at a time for 6 weeks. I like that. I feel like I learn more because I am juggling a family I am raising and a full-time job while pursuing this degree. Not easy, but UoP makes it doable to really absorb what you are learning so you can retain the information. Thank you!
