This is a for profit college which means they are all about the money financial aid pays them. You will receive little to none of your financial aid and they really don t challenge you academically it s easy a toddler could pass. I regret going here after a year I will transfer not happy at all it s all about business with them. Don t waste your financial aid on these people.
Reporting more debt on my credit after i payed off my student loans only went for a month in 2016 now 4 years later saying I owe them more?
I have emailed your "college" and personally asked to be taken off of call list. You continue to call me and even email me stuff about " why havent I began doing my class yet?" I haven't signed ANY papers or done ANY financial aid. One more time, I cannot afford your college. Period. Financially NOT possible. Now, if your establishment could stop contacting me that would be great.
I withdrew from this school in July 2006. I have received numerous requests to speak on their behalf as an Alumni over the years via mail at my old address and my new one (been at current address for 11 years)but up until today I have never and I repeat never received a notification that I had an outstanding balance due to them for my schooling. Today, I received a bill from a debt collection agency stating that I owed $2,242.09 but they would settle for $560.52. There is also a disclaimer on the notice that states" This debt is too old for you to be sued on it in court as the statue of limitations has expired, and you can't be required to pay it through a lawsuit." I withdrew before my next semester even started, I paid my out-of-pocket expenses to that date so I don't how I owed anything. Not to mention, it's been 11 years, 7 months since I attended your school. I'm positive if this was accurate if you were an upstanding, creditable institution it would not have taking this long to be contacted or billed. Ridiculous is all I can say. I'm now regretting all of the times I praised your institution and the many times I recommended you to potential future students. Hopefully, this error will be corrected and you don't do this to all your students.
If I could put zero I would. They dismissed me for not faxing some information years ago. I faxed the info four times personally. They claimed to never recieve it kicked me out a month in and stole all the student loan money for the semester making Me have to repay the loan with no grades classes or degree. I was robbed the government was robbed and after looking into it they are famous for this and the government should have arrested the owner and all board members years ago. They are a scam school like ivy tech. the degrees are worthless and laughed at by employers. Nothing bought and paid for degrees.
I'm calling me and calling me and I hate that because I'm starting to sleep and I don't want to go to school I've been hearing bad reviews and it is all about money and not about the students so I don't want don't stop calling me thank you very much
Just received a settlement letter from this school & don't even know what this is. Not even interested in any of the subjects offered as I've already been to school in person.
I had issues but it was nothing major. Problems were solved. I'm excited about finishing with my Associates in Business. C/O 17
Worst University I've EVER attended I attended this university back in 2010. I PAID ALL my student loan debt back and now 9 years later they are still trying to scratch pennies from me I recommend No One to attend AIU No Stars
Was gone attend but after these comments no ma am no sir
I'm about to graduate in 5 months and get my BA in Entrepreneurship. AIU is the best decision I ever made. Brandy Barth was my advisor most of my attendance at AIU, she was amazing and really showed interest and care. I have no complaints with this school. Its a huge blessing because I learn and work at the time most convenient for me. And the instructors are all very experienced in the subject they teach. With that being said, I'm confused as to why so many have complaints while my experience as been a stellar one.
Worst decision I ever made... Would never recommend this school to anyone I know
I attended AIU for my AABA degree back in 2005 and graduated in 2006. The advisors and teachers were excellent and very knowledgeable and were also extremely helpful and supportive whenever I needed any help.
I am now attending AIU for my BSIT degree and am having an equally rewarding experience. This is an EXCELLENT online university with extraordinary staff!! I would certainly recommend it highly to anyone thinking about attending!
The schedule is perfect for those trying to work and raise a family but also wishing to further their education and earn a degree. Nothing can beat the convenience of being able to study at home or even on the go with the AIU smartphone / tablet app!!
I was not good. This school is not worth your time and the cost is to high for the little education they offer. You ask for help you will turn blue before it. You just a number not a person. You do not get to make a choice education. They keep your money after you them. Please people just stay from this school. It is not worth the headache. The stress you go through with this school is not worth it.
Would not recommend on-line higher education. The cost is much higher and student loans prevent a person from paying debt off and job acquisition is very difficult.
This institution ruined me. 14 years later I am still suffering from this terrible decision. I did not deserve the mistakes this place made but no one listened. If there are any class action law suits - please contact me.
Awesome school if your interested in pursuing a career with Nasa or achieving advanced enlightenment and living healthy happy sustainable and successfully building a strong business.
Requested information and they began calling me several times a day (and night) everyday. I dealt with them briefly and decided it was not for me. They continued calling multiple times a day (and night!) and sending numerous emails. I requested they stop; they did not. I threatened to leave a poor review online if they did not cease. They finally left me alone...until now. Several months later and I am again receiving daily phone calls. If you do not want to deal with this level of harassment, do not engage.
Called to get info about starting and was immediately turned off. The lady tryed to just log all my info in her computer. It's obvious they try to force you in their program instead of letting you make a sound decision which makes them seem thirsty. Won't be going here.
Not all that it was cracked up to be like don't get me wrong the teachers were great but other than that the school sucks worst mistake of my life
Ive been calling them on all the extensions from dubai but no responcse, I've also send them many emails still no response. However for admissions they will call back in 10 mins but for Student Services no one is ready to Listen or Help... All I want is my transcript and degree from the university to be send to ICAS for canadian immigration. If there's anyone who can help and suggest .
Unprofessional. If i could id leave zero stars. The supervisor was mouthy unprofessional and rude. Also how hard is proper grammar ? Transferring between chicago and atlanta office before getting a very unprofessional supervisor. Be aware that the option 4 for feedback and improvements does not work. A admission application also enrolls and registers you for classes without your permission. A literal quote What is more important a roof over your head or college? That is beyond not professional to say. When the applicant says I m not wanting to attend college at this moment due to financial reasons, i am simply seeing what my options are. If you call the Chicago number be prepared for your call to go to Atlanta. Be prepared for unprofessionalism. DO NOT APPLY HERE! If this is how they act during the application process and trying to unregister for classes. Imagine the rest of the experience you would have, and if their office staff act this way i am fearful of how their professors act.
I love this school it was awesome and a wonderful experience. I graduated in 2005.
I hate the financial aid department myself. You never know what's going on with financial aid unless you call in and find out.
The student loans are absolutely ridiculous! They told me that I have ran out of financial aid so I had to drop down to one course per session and still am paying everything out of my own pocket. I was six months away from obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice Administration and now my expected graduation date is in 2018..... This sucks any suggestions cause I worked so hard to get this fair just to give up
One of the best Online University in the United States.
Do NOT attend AIU. I completed my Associate's with AIU. When I initially decided to enroll the financial aid dept. assured me that an AA costs generally $15-20k. They are now trying to collect $26k from despite the fact that I've already paid them $10,000 out of pocket.
Every few months I'd get a letter saying something like "Accept for new charges to continue your program" or something like that. The financial aid department when i called to find out what it was said it was just the installments of the original agreement coming through incrementally. It has now cost me almost double what it ought to have.
Voing to start May 30. Will be studying a bachelor's in Healthcare Management in Gerentology..Hope everything goes well.
Poor customer service, informed them that I was not in active employment and was treated like thrash. Would not take them seriously in any regards.
Don t attend here waist of time. I used my GI Bill here and decided to take a break from school for awhile. I talked to them and the va they called me back saying I owe money. I called the va and called them multiple times to reach my financial aid advisor. She never picked up the phone or called me back... all she had to do was tell the va I was in school and they would have gotten their money. I received multiple calls from other people working with them to pay but they can t help nor talk to the va. This school was a waste of time truly wish I went somewhere else.
So far so good, I m really pleased with how quick and fast they work. Within an hour or so. I got my application filled out and my FAFSA submitted. So thankful I took the first step to returning to school! I have a 4 month old & this online school definitely sounds like a plus for me and my schedule. I have orientation Monday. Classes start September 21st. Looks like just about ready to go. So excited to start this new Journey with AIU.
Was a student there from 2011 to this year. I don't know what the heck happened between when I started and now, but it was a complete 180. When I first joined as an online student, it felt like an actual school with people on hand to answer your questions, and even professional courtesies to let you know when a class was ending, when the new one started, and when to expect student loan refunds. Flash forward this year, every department is an absolute mess. They mishandled my student loans, and ended up refunding me my money 4 months after I was supposed to receive it, and when you are struggling, that little bit helps. Each department sounds outsourced (I worked customer service so I know when someone is reading a script to me), there are no updates via email, and when you do call in to one of the departments you get the go-around. I recommended this school to my sister, but she never got to finish her program.. she felt the same way about AIU starting out and then what it became at the end. And when I saw commercials for it on TV, my heart sank, as that's like one of the first signs you might be going to a crappy school. In any case, the platform has changed too much, the attitude has changed too much, and now everything just feels automated and sterile and unfeeling. I do not recommend going to this school, because the only thing real about it is the student loans you'll be paying back for going to this clown school.
Just awful. Do. Not. Go. Here.
I think this school is very important. I never had any problem with the website. Of course there are issues everywhere. The little problem I had was that I always want to be graded more than what I deserve. Please stop being so hatred. I have no problem with financial aid. The department is always ready to help when ever. Let's give this school an applause.
All I got from AIU was debt. For-profit colleges like AIU want students to max out the amount of money they take out in loans, so they can make more money off each student. I took out a private loan in 2007 for $7600. I've been making payments for almost 10 years. I've paid $11,600 toward this loan and I still owe $5700 on it. I found that in 2009, 2010, 2011 and some of 2012, all of my payments went toward interest only. I have now refinanced this loan at a fixed rate of 5% to get away from Navient, formerly Sallie Mae. Sallie Mae and Career Education Corporation, owner of AIU, conspired to offer some student predatory loans, even though they knew the chances of these students defaulting on the loans were high.
According to the New York Times, "New details unsealed last month in the state lawsuits against Navient shed light on how Sallie Mae used private subprime loans some of which it expected to default at rates as high as 92 percent as a tool to build its business relationships with colleges and universities across the country. From the outset, the lender knew that many borrowers would be unable to repay, government lawyers say, but it still made the loans, ensnaring students in debt traps that have dogged them for more than a decade."
Schools like AIU exist to transfer money from poor people to rich people. Poor people take out loans that are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, so the debt stays with them forever. Spending a lot of money on a degree does not mean students get a job that will enable them to pay back their loan. On the contrary, the AIU degree made your life worse. Students have a ton of debt and their job prospects are no better than if they didn't have the degree. I got a 4-year accounting degree from AIU in 2008 that has been totally worthless to me. I do the same kind of support staff work I did before I attended AIU. I do not do any accounting work. I work in Accounts Payable. I pay invoices. You did not need an expensive 4-year degree for that.
Employers don't respect degrees from for-profit schools because they know the degrees are worthless. For-profit schools short change students on education, so they can keep the money for marketing and outrageous salaries for the administrative staff. I read somewhere that n 2011, the President of AIU had a salary of over $4 million dollars. $4 million dollars so you can scam well-being students into taking on debt for a worthless piece of paper.
For-profit schools should not be eligible to receive student loan proceeds. That would shut them down. 10% of college students attend for-profit schools. But 44% of students who default on loans attended a for-profit school. 99% of fraud allegations are against for-profit schools. These schools are predators. Shut them down.
I took a business major degree a handful of years ago and didn't finish because they had online system issues and I got exhausted and went elsewhere. I quit a day before the new term, and I magically owe almost $5k. For what? Now they are holding my paid for credits hostage. This school is a criminal sham behind the scenes, and they DO NOT care about any student.
I have studied at the college for a 6week trial and this is the best school ever
I like the school. I'm a sophomore going to graduate in 2020. Thank you for the love and support along with the encouragement and appreciation.
I ve had so many issues with financial aid it s not even funny. Would not recommend this school at all.
Kicked me out because I couldn't pay for the classes and was almost finish with everything will never recommend this school to anyone again
This school don't do to it !! Student accounts messed up the billing , the people aren't that friendly and it's so expensive!!! 600 a month repayment?!? Go elsewhere
DO NOT ENROLL! I attended the school, paid my financial obligations for the education that I received; and now years later I find out that they have reported my loan as defaulted! The people that I talk to regarding this keep telling me that I consolidated my loan which I did not and refused to confirm the date or time that I purportedly consolidated this loan! Whatever you do do not go to the school! There are better schools out there that will provide you with a better education and upfront financial operations.
Was dismissed due to medical emergency related to my disability. Mentioned in my request for reinstatement which was denied. I filed a lawsuit against them, but it was dismissed due to the arbitration clause. The arbitration was contracted by AIU. They arbitrator claimed to give me an award, by trying to impose on me, a "sanction" to resubmit assignments which I received a failing grade, due to new medical treatment which affected me physically. The arbitrator disregarded the evidence I submitted, which included emergency medical reports, proof of disability, etc. The arbitration was put off constantly, until they scheduled it so I could not refile the lawsuit. I refused to accept the sanction, because I know I would receive a.m. other failing grade, and I repeatedly refused their offers for reinstatement, because I would have been subject to reprisal for the lawsuit. Based on this information, it is clearly evident from my experiebce, in my opiniin, AIU is a bastion of bigotry and hatred!
Thought about attending school here and then realized it wasn't for me. So if you could STOP calling me everyday that be great..
Originally I was interested in them. They called me and rushed me straight to admissions, I spoke to someone there. She explained to me different programs at the school, how to get to my degree quick, personal experiences (she went there also) etc. I m like okay maybe I ll apply. But then, I went with my intuition & looked the reviews up online, majority of them were negative & was saying that your credits won t transfer if you decided to go somewhere else. & that the school experience is not how they describe it on the phone. So I m just like yeah, that s not going to work. I can find something etter. They have been spamming me with phone calls everyday. I blocked their number & they re still able to get through, I read that they use a spamming phone app so that even if you block their number they ll still be able to call you. Smh.
This "University" is a scam. They will enroll you in classes without your consent and process requests for more student loans EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ATTENDING THE "UNIVERSITY."
I started to sign up for classes then did some thinking and realized it wouldn't be feasible with life right now. I called to cancel my application and was told they would do it in the morning. Then called back the next day and they said it would be sent to their supervisor and handled Monday. it is not Thursday and I've heard nothing back to verify I am not enrolled here. I call and call and no one answers any of the lines. half the options I choose just disconnect the call. the direct line I had to "my advisor" rings once and goes to voicemail. what kind of business are you running here?
Before u sign anything (READ) these people get paid to push u through the paperwork and sign..!!! U can t blame them.!! READ READ READ READ READ IM HAPPY I DID.! #DOBETTER
I am a current student, I love my classes, but financial aid really sucks.
Current student in the Criminal Justice Online Program. DO NOT GO HERE! This is my first college ever so I wasn t really sure about what to look for in a school. I definitely know what to watch out for now.
Classes are NOT flexible.
They claim to be Military friendly, but aren t really. Only received 4.5 credits for my military service which translates to only 3 credits because the school uses quarter credits. And I had to take these required elective classes (like 3 or 4) about self development that we re a huge waste of time. I have credits they could have used from my military transcript because I ve done over 80 hours of self development training.
I have had some good instructors and I have had a lot of bad ones. The instructors do not provide clear instructions on assignments and are never available when you have questions. I am active duty so the only real time I have for school work is on the weekends. If I run in to confusion on assignments I have to wait til at least Monday for a response and the deadlines are always Tuesday at midnight.
Instructors will provide grading rubrics that they do not stick to so good luck getting the grade you deserve. Most instructors have a god complex and want you to kiss their feet. I emailed an instructor because of the way she graded my paper. She took off point for saying that I didn t mention key points in my assignment that I DID MENTION. When I pointed this out to her she said she was justified and not changing my grade. She also took 10% off of my final grade for an essay and for discussion assignments that I had submitted late because I didn t provide proof that my father-in law had passed away. She never asked for proof.
Another instructor did not provide clear instructions on an assignment. I messaged her multiple times asking for clarification and if I could re do the assignment and just turn it in as late last Friday and she didn t respond to any of my messages. I ended up redoing the assignment and emailing her when I submit it and she just said that she can t accept it and she trusts that I understand. She wouldn t even LOOK at it.
I have also ended up having to pay out of pocket for classes because my academic advisor did not call me back within the add drop window so I had to be withdrawn from the class and my grant wouldn t cover it.
They also use a HORRIBLE software called Intellipath which is basically a system to do lessons on and answer questions and it is worth roughly 1/3 of your total grade. The intellipath has SO many errors and typos and information that is completely wrong or contradicts itself. I have complained to instructors, technical support, and my academic advisor and they all said that there was nothing that could be done because it s a third-party system.
My military financial aid advisor dropped off the face of the earth for MONTHS (since January) and was unavailable to help me or answer any questions about anything. I finally heard from her on Monday and it was only because they had not received confirmation that I applied for tuition assistance for an upcoming class. I didn t apply because I m not taking that class due to my stress level and being 7 months pregnant.
This school doesn t even deserve 1 star. I m finishing out my last 4 classes and never looking back. I can t believe this place is accredited.
AIU-Online LOST its accreditation due to unqualified instructing staff. This institution is not a college it is a for-profit business. AIU-Online brazenly and disgracefully exploits veterans and active duty for their GI BIll. Do not give this awful institution your business!
My husband and I both applied to be enrolled in school here and it was like 3-5 days before the semester started. We didnt even start filling out fafsa info until about a week in. We We're already doing school work before fafsa was filled out. Now we want to withdraw from AIU and I wasn't ever even a student but my husband owes money apparently and the fafsa isn't done. Warning!!!!!! Do not enroll in this school. They are not ready to start teaching students.
I recently left this school (the online version) and they want to re admission me because I told them I was going to a local school in my state that actually knows my struggle and issues I just got a call from them today @ around 10 am . Please stop with this harassment.
Edit : Now their saying I owe $735.00 which I do not have during this time .
They call at least 3 times a day after i told them im not interested.
Better check into this "for profit university" before getting any student loans and actually trying to get a degree. Go and Google "Rip-off Report" and type in this school. There are many, many complaints. They ruined my son's credit with worthless classes that do not transfer anywhere. We will be seeking legal help to get the collectors off my son's back. This "university" is owned by Career Education Corporation. And is NOT nationally accredited (only regionally accredited). You should Google that also. BEWARE of this place.
I have been trying to retrieve my transcript from AIU to be sent over to another school and I have been having a hard time. I have been requesting this for going on 7 weeks now and the excuse they give is that there is a hold on my account for a baccalaureate transcript. Never heard of this and when I inquired they stated they don't have proof from Clayton State that I received my bachelors degree. My response was so you guys allowed me to enroll and take classes in a graduated program before confirming I had obtained a bachelors. I again requested my transcript from Clayton State and I got confirmation of the date and time the transcript was received but AIU however, they claim they don't have it or they cant find it. The sad part is that if I never had to request transcripts, they would have never informed me. This process has been very devastating and I am supposed to start classes in two weeks and I am stuck because AIU is not holding up o their part. I have spoken to several of their staff regarding this matter and they all have told me something different.
It's funny how much I know and how much I can relate to the real life. You're business is great but not efficient. I made a mistake but I've made many of mistake that I've corrected in my life and this is just another lesson and challenge to pursue my other career
So, while I did get my Associates in Criminal Justice degree from here, I did not receive my Bachelors. In fact, I was actually kicked from the program with only 4 classes left. Why?! They claimed, I needed to pay my student loans. At the time they kicked me out, I had a 3.7-3.9 GPA. And, mind you, I was a single mom of three and had a full-time job, as well.
Recently, I have been trying to look into different colleges to try and finish those 4 classes, as I finally know what I want to do with my life. (sad, I know) But, I'm hoping I can find a school that will take these credits.
My advice to anyone that is going to go into this school, make sure you do your research BEFORE you enroll. And, make sure that all correspondents between you and the academic advisor/financial aid are in black and white. I have to plead my case to the Dean, in order to finish my 4 classes! And, sadly I don't have a paper trail.
Like everyone else, stay away. Not only is it 5X more expensive than just going local online school, but they clearly screw people out of money. They are trying to bill me for a withdraw fee after I completed my course. All of my student loans have been paid off for 2 years and now they won't let me get my transcript saying I owe them money. Never made aware, never given details on how or why, never given any reason. Ombudsman clearly doesn't know his role. The worst. RUN, pay for college elsewhere and save the headaches! As I told them, it is cheaper for me to retake the classes than to pay this false bill to get my transcript. Waste of my time and energy. Anyone else ready for a class action lawsuit as I'm filing mine to Jeffrey Ayers and Gail Rago.
Could not afford the school, but thats not the issue the issue consists that now im not able to go to school im being spammed with emails and phone calls months after my withdraw. They have spoken to me on phone which i have repeatedly asked to be taken off lists for contact. The calls still persist this school is a giant harrassment enrolled or not
I love AIU Online! I am back again for my Master's in Finance.I graduated in 2007 w my 1st B.A. in Business Administration, marketing!
It is a great. University to attend and I enjoyed being a student here. So much to do and learned.
I am writing this review as a review towards AIU's Student accounts and Financial aid office, not AIU in general. This is some of the worse service I have ever seen from an university, one recent incident that has messed up my student loans entirely, the FA office said I am not eligible for the parent plus loan because I am over the age of 24, I am 20, born in 1997, I have sent them my ID and social # also my profile clearly says my birth date. I know you think this is just one mistake but no before all this I have had nothing but problems with student accounts and FA, rude employee's who cannot even do their job by answering questions about problems you may have, refuse to answer me on what all that my account is being charged for but will quickly fill up my personal and school email inbox with messages and will also blow my phone up. The list goes on and on but if you decide to go to this school make sure that they have everything correct about you because it seems to me if they find a way to take advantage of some ones money or student aid, they will.
Finical aid process is not good. They don t communicate with you. Only one communicate is student advisor.
Well I just got started here at aiu 10/30 for my bachelor's degree in healthcare administration Management and so far so good. But reading these reviews now has gotten me really weary. Please God let my experience be great and worth it. Does anyone know anything about how the financial aid works because what in reading here it seems worthless
Wow, I didn't encounter any problems while attending AIU. I finished my Master's degree, a two year program, in one year. I didn't let be a drag out program. My professors were awesome, and would let me know when my grades were slipping. Online courses are for people who can work alone with no guidance. I didn't need any of that, just give me my assignments. We did one group assignment in each class, and that was the hardest thing contacting people to complete assignments. Outside of that the school was pretty good.
AIU has been a saving grace for me. I love that I can go to school and raise my two young children at the same time. Classes are very flexible, I have had nothing but helpful and incredibly knowledged professors, and I have had all good experiences with the financial aid office. I'm right on track to graduate June 2017. I highly recommend this school.
AIU was a good experience that I enjoyed Thank You AI.

This school really suck in financial aid office they keep asking my husband about some paperwork they are never straight forward, they are so annoying convincing to join they school they are good but we you get in you have lots of trouble not helping at all. They always saying the same thing over and over again even after explain you situation. Worst school, I wish my husband could not have joined this school. Would never encourage anyone to attend this school especially online. Never Helpful at all especially financial aid office.
Terrible school, they are unclear when it comes to financial aid. Will rush you through the admission forms then when the ceiling falls in the AIU financial aid woman said that I should've read through all of the "bullshit financial forms". Very rude and could care less about their students.
Was thinking about going back to school for a trade college and was talked into going for a degree in business .man ,the people were very nice until I was inrolled. Then I couldn't get a strait answer from anyone
I requested information and they proceeded to call me at least 5 times a day while I was working even though I asked for email communication. Would no way attend now.
Well, I was off to a good start. Trying to get my Bachelor s in Business Administration and attending every class that came by me. Only to get stopped because I haven t turned in certain financial aid documentation . I had informed my instructors and also told my student advisor what was going on. Just to keep receiving a call from my student advisor asking me why I haven t started class, after I already informed her why. Set up to get a payment plan for my student loans and now all of sudden they send me a email at 12:30 in the morning saying I m withdrawn from school.? But how can that be when I communicate with my financial aid and student advisor on a recorded line and talk to them about everything that goes on. I honestly feel they wasted my time because they received my documentation that was holding me from class and now I m all of a sudden withdrawn from school without me knowing and I checked my online app everyday. Something must be done because it s not right that I spent time and losing sleep doing certain classes when if I was just going to go through this and be withdrawn.. why not tell me. And then the admissions advisor and financial aid sounds like the same person.. smh I m sorry I m just going to go enroll with an actual university for my masters and be online. I m over this.
Everyone at AIU is very friendly and i cant wait to start my classes with them.
I received my MBA through AIU a few years ago. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews but I have to say it was a very positive experience for me. I was able to apply my learnings in my job and the degree helped me move into higher level positions that would not have been available to me otherwise. The courses were well-designed and the pace was challenging but attainable if you apply yourself.
After reading all this reviews. I'm not sure if I want to continue to go thru this online schooling due to the fact that laughed at me after telling them I had copies of my transcript to show proof that I graduated from highschool..? I dont think I would recommend this school to anybody trying to make a change to better their life style
Completely screwed me with financial aid and is now making me pay 16,000 out of pocket to finish.
Each class is broken up into 5 units, each due the next Tuesday. 200 word posts and two 75 word replies.
Intellipath: answer what you know then from there is gives you multiple choice questions based on what level you re at.
A lot of googling to figure out what the terms the question is talking about.

Way overpriced per credit. Force you to take more credits than you want. Pushy advisors who are untrained.
This place is a sham and a scam, don't even think about signing up the admissions tell you that you need to sign up just to know the actual cost then you can't get ahold of them to tell them you don't want to attend.
Johnathon jackson is my admissions advisor and I've just completed orientation for criminal justice and forensic science. John is amazing! He has been the best help getting through the enrollment process and getting my military benifits set up!
The criminal justice counceling was horrible. He discouraged me into going to school. He wasn't helpful and very negative.
Good school for a curriculum online. Accreditation and programs something to check on.
Friendly staff, supportive. I got offered many different jobs. Thank you. (2009)
I received 2 degrees online with AIU. Great University!
I don't know about this place, the people on the phone seemed very friendly, yet after reading some of the reviews it looks to be a front. I'd tread carefully checking out this place.
EDIT
I've been contacted by them almost daily for the past month or so after telling them that I wasn't interested. It's becoming borderline harassment and I am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau the next time I have access to a PC for harassment.
I have literally told them 4 times now to stop contacting me yet they keep trying to get me to sign up. I am very luck I dodged a bullet by not going to AIU.
This company has the worst phone-bot system I have ever encountered. If you want to talk to a real person, don't hold your breath. The bot will tease you with 7-8 "press-this-number" games, then eventually hang up on you.
I don't want to go to this school after reading these reviews so please remove me from the call list, I already sent you an email. Please and thank you. I cannot stand the constant harassment of calls.

WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP ME WITH MY SITUATION.
IT IS THE ACTION AND CONTRIBUTION OF HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT MAKE ME FEEL CONTENT ATTENDING AIU.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!!!
I haven t even started this school. Just inquiring on the program because they wouldn t leave me alone. I accidentally came across them on grants.gov. I ve been avoiding them because I am not interested in attending a school like this. I told her I would need to talk to my husband and what he thought. She wanted me to start on April 1st. When I told her I wasn t ready, she kept on asking me why I wasn t, what did I need to do to be prepared to start April 1st? I thought that was inconsiderate especially because I wanted to be nice and let them do their song and dance. All of a sudden I got emails to register. An official school personal email. I felt like they are just trying to get there numbers in and I don t like that feeling of being pushed into something that could cost me my whole life in student loans. Sorry Iris.
