Review of St.Leo Univ.

I have been going to Saint Leo for almost 3 years,...

I have been going to Saint Leo for almost 3 years, and I've had a pretty decent experience. I am a military student, and my online classes with Distance Learning were very understanding of that. However, when I took a class on campus, I had a teacher drop me the week before the end of class due to "lack of attendance" even though I informed him at the beginning of the semester of the days I would have duty. My assignments were all either ahead of schedule or on time for his class, and I immediately went from an A to an F, instead of him allowing the counselor to withdraw me from the class with my A. When I appealed, I was told that they saw no reason why my grade should be changed, since I could not provide copies of my work. Saint Leo uses online sites to submit homework, and once the class is over there is no way to access it. However, that was my only bad experience. I returned back to online classes, and I have received my Associate's. I am pursuing my Bachelor's. Although I am highly upset that I will have to retake and repay a class that I've already done well in, I won't completely judge this school based off one center. Saint Leo has accommodated me to get my degree, and they have several resources to assist you with research and tutoring for your classes. Also, the online advisors stay in touch with you and are very nice and welcoming. If you find that you can't go to school on campus, Saint Leo's Center for Online Learning may be the perfect school for you.
