I enrolled at this school a couple years ago. I was going to go to a local community college and had gotten accepted there with all the different processes completed. Well come to find out they didn t have the class that I wanted to start of in so I decided I would go with the U of P. It took well over a month of them arguing saying that I didn t have the right paperwork and I couldn t start classes until I had them. Keep in mind those were the exact same papers that had gotten me into the other school. One day they say okay you start your classes in a couple weeks. I was confused because they had just finished telling me my financial process hadn t gone through and I was about to go back to the other school. I figured well maybe they figured out that those were the papers I needed after all. I started class and a month goes by and I get a phone call from the financial advisor saying that I have to take a leave of absence since my paperwork was invalid. They stopped my classes and it then became hard to get into contact with my personal financial advisor for this school. After months of trying to get a hold of them and months of trying to find the correct paperwork I gave up. Nothing was said afterwards and I didn t get any paperwork from them until around a year later saying that they had turned my file over to a collections agency because I didn t pay what I owed. All the while I hadn t heard from them and I couldn t get a hold of the advisor that knew my file. Everyone else would direct me to the right person but I would be put on hold until my phone died. At that point I was pretty pissed off. Several months back I tried to get a loan for a house I m remodeling and this came up as a private loan and the teller said that he wasn t sure I would qualify for such loan because of this. Not only had it put a hold on me furthering my education but on the rest of my life too. I wasn t given the opportunity to back out before the class started and they had me under the impression that everything was ready to go and the financial process had been taken care of. Guys I m telling you. If school isn t enough drama I d say stay away from this system cause it will screw you over with a smile.
