I was chosen for verification for my financial aid. That was fine. So I was asked to fax my income taxes to their financial aid department. I faxed every bit of personal information and income tax information I had for 2008 over a 6 week period of time, with negative results.
They repeatedly lost my taxes and their response to that was to fax it to an individual, whom I will not name. When I would call back, nobody had heard of this person. So, who received my information? The last straw for me was when they asked me to fax and sign my 2 pages of my 1040. I signed and dated them and faxed them over.
I called later that day and they said they received my fax but that I didn't sign them!! Are you kidding me? I was sooo completely frusturated with it all, that I un-enrolled. Through all of the problems that I had with the financial aid department, my academic counselor continued to try to persuade me to continue with my classes. I'm so glad that I didn't.

I love University of Phoenix Online! They offer a wide variety of classes that can be completed around your schedule – however chaotic it may be. University of Phoenix offers students the opportunity to move closer to the degree of their choosing with ease. This was a fantastic way to obtain a quality education, with quality instructors on my own time table.
BSBM at UOP

I entered UOP Florida West Campus with 46 credits taken at a community college over twenty years ago. The UOP was the only university that accepted every one of those credits. Other schools told me that they were "too old". Math goes out of style? Pul-leeze. They even gave me 8 credits for being in the USAF.
I just completed my BSBM in March 2008 and I feel I received a quality education. Without the adult modality format (one class at a time) I would never have completed my degree.
Now I find myself, at 53 years old, preparing to take my MBA. The university recognizes 9 credits from the undergrad program towards the Master's so the program is complete at 30 credits for me. Remember, UOP is REGIONALLY ACCREDITED. This is the same accreditation as Princeton.

I found the online class experience very rewarding. I especially enjoyed working on projects in teams. The team work experience allowed me not only to learn about a specific topic but also to develop my project management skills. Classroom forums were also positive part of my online education. In an online forum students post comments and answers to discussion questions and conversations can continue throughout the entire length of a course.
