Kaplan University is Ripping People Off

I signed up for Kaplan University on line program studies in February of 2007. I was so excited, I was living in a secluded area in the first place that was a remote town outside of any Universities or community colleges and this was my chance to continue my education in the comfor of my own home. Gas prices would not affect the drive back and forth to campus. If I was sick I could still attend classes.

The promise that after my student loans, and pell grant were paying my two classes for a term of every three months that I would get a $100 back. I was sent a bill in the mail a month later of signing up to the University stating they needed an additional amount of $100 and would be taking that amount that I had been promised in a return. It was tuition that I had not paid. However, after $9,000 of just a total of four classes I would assume that there would be payment enough.

I was wrong and I was locked out of my classes for a term of two days, which when I remedied the problem made it so that I was late for those assignments and to top it off, I had missed the class seminars as well. I was penalized by the grade that as well. I talked to the professor as to why I was late and that was not fair enough to allow me extra time to complete the assignments. I turned in the assignment and took the ten percent off. Still giving myself a passing grade.

I am presently in a software class. Imagine learning a software for the first time and being graded on the random buttons you are pushing in order to accomplish what appears to you as the proper way to complete the assignment. The assignment was not to the bleak instructions that were issued. When trying to get a hold of a professor for extra help, they inform you that they are sorry that they can not do your homework for you. I did not ask anyone to do my homework is the return email. The return email that I receive is if you want to accomplish your goals at Kaplan University learn and figure it out on your own.
