University Of Phoenix

They seem to be unorganized. They passed me around until someone named Darrel Lauer called me but then he said he was distracted and he has to call another student so he has to hang up and call me back (in a few minutes) uhhhh okay!!!. That was 24 hours ago. I emailed him and never got any reply back. The receptionist at their 800 number is rude and condescending. If you are going to charge future students with a lot of money, make sure you hire the best person in the job. It is making this school look so tacky and less reputable.

I am currently doing the LVN-​BSN program. It’s a hybrid program. HW & tests are done online & my campus classes are once a week for 4 hrs. It’s not an easy program. You have to work hard to get good grades! I am a FT mom, wife, student & has a full time job. The program made it doable to have a career & go to school. I’m a straight A student so far! I am hoping to keep it that way! Instructors are very helpful and they don’t make it easy either. I enjoy going to this school! It works great for me and my family! My sister just started the LVN-​BSN program as well! I can’t wait to graduate!

HUGE on going issue. After a sabbatical from school for personal reasons, I noticed that I retook duplicate courses on the advice of my academic counselor, and when reviewing the units needed to graduate, noticed that I wasn’t progressing any towards my goal. I brought it to the attention of my academic counselor who has responded with that there is no academic restitution; it was denied by the University.
So I’ve lost out on time, made zero progression, have to take an additional classes to compensate for not making progress, and up until this point, not been reimbursed for classes paid nor does it look like that will be case. Instead, I’m being advised that the funds would be re-​allocated to the new classes, but that because of the situation, the funding I currently have more than likely will not be sufficient and most likely will have to take out additional funding to complete the degree.
Efforts to try and resolve directly with the University have basically gotten me no where. And no one else is available to resolve this with, because «they’re out of the office».

I attended this school from 2011 – 2014 and graduated with my BS in Business. The professors I had were attentive and helpful. I did go to online for the last 6 months because I traveled with my job. I have had several of my managers graduate from UoP and I have also seen an increase in my confidence and pay! You get what you put in to the program.
The downfall is that it is pricy!

The one good thing about phoenix is that it makes college & having a career at the same time doable.
But nevermind trying to get into the lvn to rn program. The «advisors» between 2011 – 2012 are in way over their heads because they cant seem to handle their jobs. I understand of the abundant amount of applicants into the program but these so called advisors needs further training in time management and at the same time demand the school to hire more lvn to rn nursing advisors. Or quit and let someone who can handle it take over.
I first applied december of 2011. It took them 2 months to get back to me. Then Heather asked me to fax her my transcript on 2÷21÷12 asap. So I drove from san Francisco to merced to get my transcript to heather by the very next day. Of course it wasn’t untill around APRIL that I heard anything back but only for them to tell me I HAVE TO ATTEND THE OPEN HOUSE IN MAYish.
So I attended the open house. And since I once was a Phoenix, the open house was useless. I told them I knew the information but they failed to listen & said its mandatory I attend the open house. Another waste of gas & time. But I went because I want to attend the lvn to rn program.
But thats not all… theres some sort of open house part 2! For «interview» and to «review transcripts». Well, I’ve already turned in my transcripts back in Feb as per Heathers request. But I went to the 2^nd part of the «open house» thinking okay maybe for me it would be an «interview». WELL IT WASNT. THE «INTERVIEW» IS A PIECE OF PAPER WHERE YOU WRITE WHY YOU WANT TO BE A NURSE AND WHY YOU BELONG TO THE PROGRAM! Okay I suppose I couldn’t write that «interview» from home since Heather had already asked for my transcripts a few months back?
Or if it were necessary to attend so applicants can understand the way classes and financial aid are set up at UOP, they need to be a lot more organized simply by listening to all applicnts because NOT ALL applicants are completely new to the UOP system.
Nearly a year has passed and still no word from HEATHER AND GINA. I’ve called and emailed but I’ve yet to receive a response. When I call them, it goes straight to their voicemail because they do not accept phone calls. In the voicemail they «state» that they «return phone calls w/​in 24 – 48 hrs. BUT THEY DON’T. I doubt they even listen to their voicemails.
these «gatekeepers» to the program, Heather & Gina, does not know how to get back to their prospective students and thus, LOSES POTENTIAL INCOME FOR THE SCHOOL!
don’t go to UOP for your BSN. Go to Holy Names or elsewhere.
