The University Of Phoenix Online ripoff Phoenix Nationwide
Students beware very aware of the greedy and unfair practices of The University of Phoenix Online. I have been a student at this school for about five months now and I must say that this is the sorriest and most pathetic excuse for a college I have ever seen. First their fees are out of sight, their administration is completely incompetent and their teachers do not even teach. In fact the instructors do not post any information that is of any value and expect the students to learn everything without the assistance of a professor. Also their Outlook Web Access (the way many students access courses online) is down at least 4 times per month and is usually for at least 12 hours and sometimes as much as 2 days. Also the school will not support their students if they have a problem with a class or instructor. Furthermore the school forces you to stay in year round so they can line their greedy pockets with your money. Also I am still waiting on financial aid that applied for in May. MY ADVICE IS STAY VERY VERY VERY FAR AWAY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX ONLINE BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN GETTING YOUR MONEY

I am a student preparing to graduate after two years and 18 classes with UoP. It takes a self-starter and a lot of self discipline to be a sucessful online student, because the classes are accelerated. You have five weeks to learn what is typically covered over a whole semester at at land based school. Those who have several years of work experience and previous college experience are the typical UoP Online students. UoP leverages past and current work experience to design class curriculums. UoP does not have instructors, they have "Faciltiators" who guide the class discussions, grade the homework and answer questions about the course. You are expected to learn the material yourself through text, research, and online "labs" called NetG. The reading assignments are extensive, you typically have at least four to eight papers to write each class plus other assignments. But the rewards of having the flexibility of an online college is invaluable to most. The cost is pretty high, $434 per credit, but I still recommend UoP Online to any working adult who needs to finish their degree.
