Review of RMCAD Student Learning Center

I attended RMCAD for my freshman year of college, I had a horrible experience. RMCAD is a degree mill but, that is the least of their problems. They have a program for students with disabilities, in every class I would have to seek help from the disabilities coordinator because nearly every one of my teachers would ignore the accommodations my doctor recommended. I let them know I could not be in a class because the teacher did not use any visual aids because of my disability I cannot learn this way so I tried to drop the class. Later that day an advisor forwarded me an email from the head of the liberal arts department, it was extremely rude and he suggested that I just deal with it. The illustration department is the largest department in the school and every class room had around only 8 working desks. The whole year I was there they promised to replace them, but that never happened and students had to work on desks that were frankly unusable. The financial department is a mess, they failed to notify a fellow student that she owed them money and because of this she had to go to court because it violated the terms of her Visa. I never received a single bill from RMCAD and my account would be placed on hold because they did not notify me I owed them money. One time I went in to pay my tuition and it was 6k more than I anticipated, they insisted it was the correct amount. When I dropped out they gave me a check worth nearly seven grand because they had messed up on how much I owed them. I got an internship through the school which I really enjoyed. When I was accepted into it the advisors told me I was free to go ahead and start working while logging my hours myself. Six months after I went in to see how much credit I could receive for the course, the Internship department let me know that a month AFTER I started my internship they created new paperwork to log hours and since I hadn t used it my hours didn t count. They never sent me the paper work after they created it and I don t think they even had a record that I had started an internship. Eventually I figured it out myself without help from the school.
I have had an issue with every department at RMCAD. I suggest that you do not attend RMCAD or send your kids there. It s a scam.
