Lack of degree

I lost my degree. I found out the degree I had doesn't exist. The Department of Education has done nothing! They have offered no solutions or options. I start over with nothing. But it is our fault, we watched it happen to the CNA's, the hairdressers, and the coders/animators. A lot of us put our faith in the Department of Education. Their accreditation. Now, I watch as all the years invested turns into a radioactive wasteland.

Financial aid

I have been attending. Argosy for the past four years. I was suppose to graduate in June of 2019. Three months from graduating and the school closed. I have this transferred out but all my credits didn't get transferred over. Now I will graduate March of 2020 and my financial aid ran out. I am paying out of pocket but I have a wife and five kids. Will Argosy make it right and when? Thanks for listening. This is one disappointing father and student.

Beware of Argosy scam

At the time of admission to Doctor of Business (DOB) I explained to them that I wanted to study at part time bases that is ½ time e very semester. They assured me that it is fine, and I should not have any problems, but after paying 19000, they dropped me because I am not full time, even though my grades are all A’s and I have a 4.0 GPA. They will tell you anything to sign you in, but once you are halfway they will drop you. The financial statement sometimes does not make sense, there is an overcharge, but they will just tell you, it should be like that.
Advice to anyone thinking of joining Argosy, you will regret it.

Assigning classes that were not in my field of study and no adviser for almost a year

Argosy Online assigned courses not in my field. Trusting this institution to do the right thing when it came to my courses cost my loans to escalate. My heart hurts when I know how much was bilked from me. Not only did I go without an advisor for almost a year, the advisor I finally received did not give me the attention I needed. If there is someone else this has happened to please reach out. Other than making a complaint. I want something done about this. If a lawsuit is out there reach out to me. Anyone out there please reach out to me. I have put in two appeals; no one has reached out to me. [email protected]

Criminalistic Bilking of Vets

Argosy University... Thanks, but no thanks. I'm sick and tired of this school preying on me, and gaslighting me. It's going to be time to enroll elsewhere after I pass my last class. I've lost waaaay too much money dealing with their predatory recruiting practices, and the way they gaslight and stonewall students that they target, for whatever illegitimate reason to deflect away from the very real harm they do to a young, hopeful student's financial position. Like the way that they did me. Sham.

This is an article from a while back. Don't go to this school. Tell your friends and family to stay away from this place. I wish that I had researched them a bit more, before enrolling here. This sounds just like them. These people are predators who will ignore your calls, pretend that they are always "in a meeting," whenever they have my refund money for my VA benefits, and take forever to respond to e-mails. Look at their location... This place is just all bad for anyone with a less than absolutely perfect situation abroad. I wonder if there is a class action lawsuit open or something.... I wonder.

Overcharging for tuition

I have researched the cost of tuition and much to my surprise and disappointment is that Argosy is one of the most expensive online schools that are out there. Well, I know there are some that are more, but I was amazed at the number of online accredited intuitions that were much cheaper, in some cases ½ the price. It really made me ill that I had not researched this before. I took the word of the admissions person that helped me when I first enrolled with Argosy. I could have gotten my bachelors for what just the Associates is costing. Oh My God!!!

Don’t try to comeback with the idea that your school is superior and has more to offer, because it is not and does not. When I started there I did not get the instruction I needed to get started using the site so I struggled for months before I got it figured out. There were still some things I learned later that I did not know I could do. They pretty much gave me a login and said when I my start date was. Thanks. That gave me a big disadvantage trying to learn the system, what was expected of me and learn the material at the same time.

Also, when they were reeling me in to hook me on the school and getting my degree, one of the things I told them was that I could not afford to pay much for my degree and that if they could work it around so that I did not have to pay I would sign up. So, there were promises of grants and such so I signed up. Go figure, now I have over 30,000 dollars in student loans, plus the thousands of dollars I paid directly to you/school.

So, if you can do something about my current student loans and bring your price down to reasonable, then I may think about re-enrollment at Argosy. But, I have heard so many promises from Argosy that I am not sure I would believe what you guys would tell me anyway, that is unless it is in writing.

Another broken promise was that when I had to pay 200.00 month for months that you guys would match that amount until I was paid in full. DID NOT HAPPEN.

While writing this, I am thinking that maybe I should contact one of these places about your overcharging practices and misleading people to get them to sign up.

So, thank you for your offer, but I think I must decline.

Argosy online university

Hello, My name is Sherelle Miller and I am stating an complaint of Argosy Online University I've currently withdraw from this college since May 2016Their giving me misleading information about their academic program and overcharging individual for classes that have already been paid for by fianancial aid subsided loans and unsubsidized loan. I have read about their discrimination against their student and their unlawful practice of changing students academic and financial advisor. I feel that this school is fradulents of their practices of misleading student on the current programs and overcharging students with tuition and unresolved issue About course curriculum and failing students and not explaining why their student are not getting the course work. I feel that this school is scam and are putting students in plenty of debt without the accreditations of their education something needs to be done about this school. So no more student can be taking advantage of with this fraudulent school.

Unfair grading Twice as well

I too am a victim of Argosy grading policies on the comp exam. I am so willing to be in the forefront of a Law suit against Argosy. I feel as though I have been raped, sodomised and held captive by an offender that took advantage of my long term dreams and desires. I am with anyone of you who would like to file a class action suit against these barbarians of education.

Argosy Needs To Be Shut Down and Tuitions Returned! Send Email: [email protected]

I do not know where to go for help. I am enrolled online with Argosy and the service is poor. I can never reach anyone in financial aid and when I do no one knows anything and each month the same financial aid officer goes from a regular aid officer to manager to no longer working there and back to the beginning again. They are holding loan disbursements for over two months now for no good reason. They just informed me that I will have to take out a loan to finish because my aid has ran out, but they guarateed that I had more than enough aid to cover my degree. Each semester they raise the tuition, add books, for $75.00 each, select your classes and every month it is a new financial aid officer and academics counsoler given without informing the students. Then they changed students from taking two or more classes to being able to take one class every five weeks with no break. When I first called about the school they said that they needed information so that they could start the financial aid package even before I took the entrance test and even waived the fees, but then put the fees back into tuition after I started.. The entrance test I was told that if I didn't have any place to take it then I could take it at home and what information I needed to put down after testing. They had me starting classes within 2 weeks before I could even think it over and had me do the FASA application the same day that I called for the information. I can honesty say that I felt like I we at a used car lot or an auction with
Argosy and now I will be about $50,000 in debt with no way to continue my education and now I find out that they are a fraud with 12 more credits to go.

I need help on who and where to file a complaint.

Also, you might want to check out that Argosy has just been sued by the Department of Justice for mismanagement of financial aid. It's a mess. I really hope to get my degree and get out. My academic counselors are okay, but it amounts to more smoke up my butt really.

Complete scam

Count me in. I have been going round and round with financial aid since October. She is so incompetent its not funny. They have some $4000 jammed up somewhere and cannot find their butts. I withdrew from a class last semester because the instructor was unbearable, they wanted to charge me for 50% of that class, but are supposed to be giving that back and MY STUPID ACADEMIC ADVISER put me back in with the same instructor. I would be happy to join a class action against them!
