Got the run around for the past year, had three chair changes, had three different topics, one change in major, and still getting the run around. The rules are set by the chairs, they change all of the time, and there are not standards.

Stay tuned, I'm not walking away from this quietly. All you have to do is Google, George Burnett Westwood, and you'll see that the President of the college has no business running this school.

This school is an absolute joke when you make it to the dissertation stage, but they try to sell you on this being normal. See you in court.

I have hit the dissertation phase and nothing but roadblocks being placed in my way. Costing more to extend chapter 1 due to lack of communication and feedback turn around.

Ridiculous.

My complaints were addressed by the Department of the Dean doing a thorough investigation. Right...no bias there.

I had a horrible experience with Northcentral, as well. I am seeking information regarding the class action lawsuit.

After more than 9 Dissertation courses, we were still on the Concept Paper.

Student loans totaled nearly $100,000. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I was told it would only take 54 credits but they add 3 more credits as well as the portfolio class is a joke and unnecessary and when it comes to the fin aid I have loans for the program the school always seems to get the tuition money early but hold on to refund money for weeks before disbursement and then its three more days on top of that. I have never been to a school that holds your money for 30 to 45 days. before I complained with the bbb I was getting the money around 25 days now the make me wait the whole 45 days even though they already have the funds from the bank

How?

I am in my 2nd year as Ph.D. student and am totally appalled by the lack of professionalism by the professors along with their arrogant snobbishness.

Currently I have a 3.76 GPA due to arrogant professors that do not even know what the assignments really are. I've had to argue with them and even when they are wrong they won't change the grade. At this point I am finishing out this last class and planning on finding another school to transfer to due to their bad faculty, rude financial advisor-student advisors that do not even have the degrees that they are helping with. At this point I am thinking this school is all about the money and the staff are just collecting a paycheck.

They don't care if you withdraw or drop out. There is always another incoming student and they feel burdened in their jobs. I am not sure why but in the past few months they've had a really high turnover rate. This is going to cost me a lot to have to switch.

I feel like I got the bait and switch the first year wasn't too bad I had a few good professors.

Toward end of 2nd year school moved headquarters, began getting repeated grumpy incompetent professors that need to retire or be laid off because they are really not helpful at all. I could give specific examples but am still attending, planning my exit carefully.

I'm having the same experiences

Guest

I am having very similar issues. I am a graduate student with one course left and was withdrawn by my academic advisor after receiving clearance from the disability department that my course had been extended.

They are in violation of the ADA and are refusing to reverse the process hoping to be paid more upon re-enrollment in the univrtsity. Please email me as well Shanaanderson3@***.com

Guest

They same thing just happened to me. Count me in the class action lawsuit

Guest

The school, while touting compliance with ADA will ensure to place you in unnecessary courses at the dissertation phase merely to obtain more FFA.

I am a former doctoral level student at Northcentral University who was dismissed from my program before the entire time was even up after completing all coursework and passing comps. I was told at the door that I would have 8 years to finish my degree.

I was dismissed before 7 years was up. Policies were changed continuously without clear communication throughout the seven years I attended the university. Additionally, I became very ill with multiple health issues which I tried to communicate to my advisor without remedy. I also take care of my elderly mother (90) who underwent two major life sustaining surgeries which resulted in complication.

I am seeking legal counsel to represent me in a lawsuit against this school now incorporated in California. I reside in PA.

PLease let me know if you can help me. Thanks, Syl
