Preferred solution: apology
HORRIBLE/PISSED!
I enrolled in Northcentral University's Master Program. Once enrolled in my first class I encountered the poor quality of the program.
Upon further research, I see many of the problems I have encountered are regular problems at the university. The program promises one-on-one with faculty, though the faculty frequently has issues connecting with students due to internet and phone issues (the professor's phone line at the university is frequently down and they are unavailable, even during office hours). Students are given reading and writing assignments, but no further engaging activities are provided. The program does not seem stable.
Speaking with other students who are currently in the program or have dropped out, these are all regular occurrences. They were unable to get assistance for clinical placement while in the program, which is a requirement to graduate from the program. The university does not provide information on the number of students who have graduated from the program, and from what I have found in my research, it is not a reputable university. The university has not done anything to address these issues.
Upon my withdrawal from the program, no one has contacted me to follow up on my issues with the program. The only follow up I received was pushy sales/marketing trying to get me to re-enroll in the program with the chance to win a scholarship. The university's scholarship program is a scam, requiring students to enroll in the program before they can apply. Scholarship winners are not announced.
Overall, I do not recommend this program to others. It is not a quality educational institution.

NorthCentral University- Prescott Arizona- Unprofessional/ Unethical
This was my last chance to get the IRB appllcation approved before being dismissed from the PHD program at Northcentral University- Prescott Arizonia. When the class started in October 2018 I submitted my assignments on the portal for two consecutive weeks, and didn’t hear any feed back from my mentor (Dr.
James Jones). When I emailed and asked him did he provide feedback he claimed he didn't see my submissions. I sent him screen shots of the assignments submitted that he claimed he didn’t receive. When he saw the screen shots of the assigments and repleid back he was oh I will have you feed back tomorrow.
Another week passed, didn't hear anything from him. I talked to my academic advisor (Matthew Cormack) and expressed my cocnern to him that I havent heard form Dr. James Jones and this was my last chance and time is running out. (Between the revisions and feedback to get approval before the semester ends.) I sent an email to Dr.
Jones and academic advisor, which were forwarded to Dr. Scheg (Assistant Dean School Of Business). After a telephone converstion with Dr. Scheg, magically Dr.
James Jones sends feedback back on my work. (imagine that!!!!) (The course is halfway throuhg the semester now). When I called him and he answers with an attitude (because I making him do his job, and got called out for sitting on my paper work, and sitting around collecting a payckeck at my expesne $ 3,000 plus dollars) . Finally, the IRB Application gets submitted to the chair.
On December 24 2018, Dr. Jones asked me (via email and text messages) to fill out a incomplete grade form so we it gives us an extension to give us time to receive feedback form the chair and submit the necessary changes). (I have text messages, email). Fast forward the chair claims that feedback was sent back.
(to it was sent back who I don’t know) , but I never received any feedback from them or Dr. James Jones since the incomplete grade form was emailed to Dr. James Jones on 24 December 2018 . I checked the message board and email and no feedback was sent back to me.
I sent the docuemntion sent the supporting documentation to my academic advisor (Matthew Cormack and his Team Lead. (Lori Demiski) Lori mentioned she would bring this up to the Dean but would not guarantee any outcomes. In the mean time I have been kicked out of the Phd program at Northcentral University. In my email to Matthew and Lori I, asked could them to get from the chair/ Dr.
James Jones docuemntation to show that the feedabk was emailed back to me or posted on the NCU Portal. Yesterday, I talked to my academic advisor (Matthew Macormack) and he metioend that I was officially being kicked out of the prorgram, and even he could email the feedback was supposeldy sent to me and even if I received it, that there wound not be enough time for me to fix the dicsrepancies from the chair during the period that the incomplete grade foem coeverd. That statement Matthew Cormack from him proved that THEY LIED. They should have at least told me they would act like this so, we would not waste each other’s time.
How is some going to tell me that I wouldn’t have enough time to make the corrections etc? Being a Military Veteran who honorably served and defended this country, this is a slap in the face and total disrespect on how unethical this situation was handled.

I am facing the same issues. There needs to be a class action lawsuit placed on this school.
They leave you with a ton of debt and no degree.
They add supplemental courses just to make more money. I have filed a complaint with DOE fraudulent division to launch a investigation on this school.
