This was one of the sister schools of the school I attended to get my associates degree I applied for this school and Bellevue University. Even though SNHU only transferred 48 of my credits and Bellevue transferred all of my credits and I would only have to take core classes for my degree. But I said okay i have heard more about this school than Bellevue so I will just go here. Well I started classes and being a single mom I have to deal with sick kids, juggle life and when I started here it seems like so much starting happening at once. First off I had to do a verification of my self okay fine I did that and then as classes went on my son got sick and was done for a week and a half then I got sick and it seemed like it lasted a month and then my dad fell ill and he was going back and fourth to the hospital and he lives like 5 hours away so I was traveling a lot there. My parents do not have internet at there home anymore do to financial issues. So I couldn t exactly do anything I called my advisor a couple to times to advise about my sickness and that I was not focused on class and they said you should try to complete it. Well long story short the class ended I think 6/30/19 which I was in Oklahoma and around that that I was selected for a 2ndary verification where I had to get some stuff signed and notarized I did not have the money because I was going back in fourth home and I was not focused on that. So my dad ended up going to the icu 7/02/19 and was in there for weeks and then he had to have all these major surgeries and etc. at this time I was not working because I was on leave because all that was going on. Then in the middle of July my dad passed away. We buried my father we I stayed home to help my mom get herself together and then I came home 08/01/2019 I eventually called the school because I was like I am ready to get back on track with my bachelors degree and do it for my dad. They reinstated the 2ndary confirmation I had already uploaded my drivers license and the other form in June when I was supposed to do it the first time. So knowing I don t have barely any money and kids I chose to waste gas and money and get this form notarized and I mailed it in also started the dispute process for my balance. So I get a text the day before my deadline saying they received the notarized document so the next day in the afternoon the day of the deadline I get a message to review the verification and they had told me they denied it because lived in Texas and I still have a Oklahoma drivers license and I have til the end of the business day to get a Texas license and upload it. Mind you i do not like how a school is telling me I have to go spend 40 bucks and get a new license and I am at work and they don t extend the deadline. They know I just started back to work and I literally don t have 2 dollars to my name and and I have used my Oklahoma drivers license for everything with no issues and I even applied to a instate school no problems with my license and no issues. So all that time and money was for nothing. I am so angry and I had a manager call me and she was like unfortunately it s nothing we can do you will not be able to get financial aid with us again you would have to pay out of pocket. And we do that to make sure we have good students and they are coming to school for the right reasons. I told her well ma am there is had a lot going on in my life the last couple months and I and a great student I graduated with my associates in March with a 3.4 gpa and I even had surgery last year made it through still graduated. So I am definitely not going to school for the wrong reasons. I got so angry I hung up. I would not recommend this school they are not nice and not once did my advisor call and Check on me the whole time with missing class or anything. I would reach out to professors and the advisor. They do not care about you as a student and your life they only care about themselves. No one cares to help me. I beyond frustrated and disappointed that I chose them just because they were the most well known school
