This school takes money from veterans! They emphasize that they have classes tailored for veterans, however these "Tailored" Veteran courses are nothing more than a way for Coastline to use veteran benefits like the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon to line their own pockets. I.E. I was reviewing my records and apparently I was qualified and enrolled into a BOG fee waiver (a waiver that waives course fees) however, With the GI Bill along with the Yellow Ribbon program, veterans are supposed to get their tuition paid for in full. So why do I even need a BOG fee waiver? Basically Coastline CC got money for my classes from the GI Bill, applied for the BOG fee waiver and kept the money the GI Bill paid for. So where did that money from the GI bill go, if the BOG fee waiver, waived all course fees? Again this school claims to be a military friendly school, and yet they screw over a retired disabled combat veteran. Now because of multiple clerical errors or intentional "errors" I now owe the VA a few thousand dollars. How is this possible? Taking money from those who have given everything is just plain wrong.
