I have nothing good to say about AIU! From the very beginning they would not leave me alone. They constantly called me at work even when I was really busy, they would not let me hang up.
So finally I applied cause I figured getting my degree faster ment getting a good job faster. But I was always being passed around to new so called "Advisers" I never new that was going on. I paid for the full first part of the program, which was supposed to be like 10 classes.
Well I ended up only going to half that amount, because on November 20th I was in a serious roll over accident and I broke my neck in five places! And while I has in the hospital hooked up to all the machines and with tubes down my throat so my lungs wouldn't collapse. My mom tried calling them to explain my situation.
Well the people there would not even talk to her they said they would only talk to me (even though that was completely impossible at the time) and finally when I was barley strong enough to grasp the phone and speak. The dean of the school got on the phone and was so rude to me I could not believe it. They told me that they could not help me, that if I'd gotten in my accident a few weeks earlier then they might have been able to do something. (Yea like I can time it when my car decides to roll and almost kill me.)
So they said they were going to remove me from their program, and the only way I would be able to get back in is to do the whole entrance essay and fill out all the same paper work all over again! And pay the 50 dollar fee AGAIN! What a load of crape.
Then I learned they were going to keep all my money and I have nothing to show for it, because they won't even release my transcript or anything, which I now learned are worthless anyway. But every time I call to try to talk to someone who knows something, I get passed from person to person, and get put on hold and so on.
AIU needs to be stopped. All they care about is taking your money. They were more then happy to take mine. So if there is going to be a lawsuit, then I am defiantly in on it!
