One star is being nice. They deserve ZERO stars! I would not recommend this school. FA is horrible to deal with. They are a money seeking school. They scam and scheme students out of their money. No one gives you answers to your questions, but if they do they all answer differently. They don t take into account that you are a working adult. Their website is misleading. There software is horrible and the system goes down a lot. They only care about money. It s high school busy busy work and some of the professors don t help you, don t respond to emails and change rules that contradict the syllabus. The school ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY AND WILL GET IT FROM YOU ANYWAY THEY CAN. I stress this because they say that you take classes at your convenience but email you and call you pressing you to take classes as if it helps you but they are seeking money. I finally gave in to the advisor and had her sign me up for two classes and when I realized that I would not be physically able to take courses I spoke to the school asking if I can drop and would it affect my FA the answer I go was Yes you can drop and your FA will not be affected. I dropped the courses before the they even started and a week or two later I received an email saying that I owed over $3k and the school asked me to return grant money to them which I have never heard of. They said you have a balance because you dropped your courses so we suggest you return the grant money you received to pay us our money . I contacted MHEC and they said once they issue you grant money it s yours. But the school demanded that I give them the $1350 of the grant that was sent, which I did and to also give them $1824 for the courses I could not take. They said they returned $1824 of the loan back to the lender for those dropped courses and now I need to give that $1824 which I didn t physically receive for the second term in Spring or I will be sent to collections. UMUC said that they assumed I was taking classes so the loan was disbursed however I didn t receive a refund from the loan that was disbursed. I took classes January 8th to May 4th which is the first term of Spring which was paid for. They are now trying to force me to pay for second term which I did not take nor did I receive a refund of the leftover amount from $1824 because the classes were dropped before the start date. According to federal regulation I am to have 6 credits to be eligible for aid which I did and completed. I have yet to this day received a clear and solidified explanation as to why I m paying this educational institution money for classes I never even took. I gave them $1350 and when I spoke to higher education they said that the school was NOT ENTITLED TO THAT MONEY and that I was my grant money that doesn t have to be paid back. I asked UMUC will they give it back they refused saying UMUC doesn t give refunds . They are thieves and have very incompetent staff. Run!!!!
