I started classes on December 12, 2023, on a Tuesday, and each week, ends every Monday, that is how each week is organized, and each class takes 5 weeks to accomplish and earn 3 credits. So far I have not one complaint about the UOPX as they have been nothing but supportive and I feel all the classes are scheduled great for someone that has a life outside of school. I love this school and I love this program. I feel all the negative reviews that I have read on this site could have been avoided. They would have paid more attention to how online college works. You can't compare them to traditional colleges because that's not fair to its set up totally differently. I hated Community College. That was a waste of time and money. I love This school and I would recommend it to anyone.

This misuse of funds and misuse of protocols for code of conduct and allowing outsiders to influence the way they push students out the school and professors that make comments like JUST DO IT! Also allowing representative to manipulate the students because they are upset about the students' refunds. They are extremely prejudice.

    Avoid throwing away your money! I turned in every assignment on time, but the professor's grading was extremely rigorous. There were complaints from over half of the class, but the school took no action. Complaint tickets were initially opened but were promptly closed on account of insufficient information. I am looking into this further. If anyone can help me open a case against the school, please reach out to me.

    I started this school 15 months ago and it started with my calling them asking if they had classes that would help me learn how to grow my home business. I was told yes, and I started classes in July of 22. It is now October of 23. I have had a total of 3 classes that has gone towards my so-called business degree. I have borrowed 40,000 in a little over of a year for these ** classes. When I called to complain about the whole 3 classes that goes towards what I'm supposed to be learning, compared to the 15 classes that I have already taken, I was told that over the next 4 years, I need to take 69 ** classes to the whole 19 classes I need for the business degree plus the media certificate I need. This has been an epic waste of time and an even bigger waste of money! I could have gone to YSU and spent half this for a full 2 years! Avoid this school at all costs! Trust me in the end, it will cost you.

    I registered with UOP and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration/Healthcare Administration. I was told they offered job placement assistance. After graduation I started applying at all the local hospitals in the Kansas City Mo area and my local town as well. After 6 months of not getting anywhere I called UOP job placement services and was told that because I didn't live in Arizona or anywhere that they had campuses I did not qualify for their assistance. I contacted the Department of Education and put all my student loans in deferment which is where they still are because I can't afford them. My student debt is over $125,000 that's double what my mortgage is.

    On-line graduate classes at the UOP were both expensive and difficult. The group assignments were nearly impossible to complete because students were located in all parts of America, and it was nearly impossible to get everyone on the same page at the same time. It was also extremely difficult to get to talk to my professor in a one-on-one discussion. I also had difficulty obtaining the on-line textbook that I purchased for one of the classes that I took, thereby making it impossible to complete my assignments. I would never recommend the UOP to anyone, nor would I ever take another UOP class!

    I wanted to obtain my CLAD credential. I enrolled into University of Phoenix. I put a down payment on my classes and NEVER heard from them!!! When I contacted Cami the “representative” she acted like she didn’t know what I was talking about. In the meantime I got a full scholarship to take the SAME classes at a much better university!!! Do NOT go to this “money pit!”

    When I registered for the University I was told that there was internships offered and job placement. I could have went to another school however the counselor was convincing. I graduated in 2016 and still haven't found a job in the Business field that is not requiring on the job experience. Now I have an unnecessary student loan bill for choosing a school that lied to me so I could have enrolled. I loved the online classes and working in a group. However, again I am at a financial loss and the student loan forgiveness programs want you to pay thousands before they would assist and that is not guaranteed that more than half the bill will be taken care of.

    I enrolled for the nursing program and was told by the enrollment counselor that there were not any accreditation issues. This was a lie and found out later on in the program. There were some faculty there to help you but somehow they slowly began to dissipate. The replacement staff along with the director was toxic. The school along with the director held myself back from taking my boards even though my grades were good and finished all my requirements. The staff along with their 3rd party "vendor" were railroading me and hindering my success. It was definitely personal and had nothing to do with my performance and till this day I do not know the reasons that it was done.

    The University was not helpful in resolving this at the lower level and almost seem as they didn't care. Needless to say I had to get legal help to get my degree and the authorization to sit for my boards. It took me 6 months for this whole process. However, I still remained on top of my game and passed my boards despite the time and restraints the University tried to place on me. If it wasn't for my legal help I would still be at standstill with this school. This was a nightmare and I am glad it is over. Please do yourself a favor and run from this school or any For-Profit School if you can avoid it. They are not about the student but for money. I know people who were in the same situation I am in at UPOX and other For Profit School.

    I attended UOPHX as an undergraduate student in a classroom setting and later attended UOPHX as a graduate student on-line. The classes were very challenging and I wanted to give up. I had to work hard and do a lot of research and reading. UOPHX taught me so much and made me stand out at work when I put my degree to work. I learned so much and was prepared for today's world. UOPHX is very advanced in developing their curriculum and is aware of things that are needed in the world today. When it comes to technology and being a part of today's administration role UOPHX is the place to go. In order to get a good education you have to put your work in. You are always going to get out of what you put in something in whatever you do. There is good and bad in everything you do.

    University of Phoenix author review by Jessica Render

    Since its founding in 1976, the University of Phoenix has put providing higher education to working adults at the forefront of their mission. The goal is to be convenient while still providing a quality education.

    • Regionally accredited: Many online colleges pursue national accreditation instead of regional, but University of Phoenix has programs accredited by either. They are on notice regarding their regional accreditation, but they keep their accreditation while they address any issues.

    • Get a doctorate: Few online colleges can offer a PhD program, but the University of Phoenix offers several options.

    • Professional development courses: For those who are not interested in pursuing an additional degree program, but do need to maintain course work for professional development, this college has a range of options.

    • Teaching programs: Many online programs are limited to technology, business, finance and health fields, but University of Phoenix goes outside the box to include teaching and the social sciences.

    • Know admissions requirements upfront: To find out additional information about admissions, many colleges require a phone interview, but University of Phoenix publishes their requirements on their website.
