Ripoff, Even the University doesn't accept it's own credits, refuses information

Other people have posted complaints in this forum regarding the University of Phoenix, mostly about the online campus. I attended classroom-based classes in Colorado before moving to Boise. When I moved, I made several requests to the school admission counselors for a list of classes that I could take to finish my degree. I had completed the 'core' classes, and only needed a few electives. The counsellors either ignored my requests or supplied only the names of the fields from which I could select the needed classes. After countless attempts to complete my degree, the school expanded into the Boise area and contacted me about re-admission.

Naturally, I wanted to finish my degree, and with only 14 or 15 credits needed, it should have been an easy thing to do. I was therefore quite shocked to hear that the credits I had earned were no longer part of the school's program. They actually told me that I would have to re-take 50 or 60 credits. Their excuse was that it had been too long since I started the program. My rebuttal is that they are to blame for not responding to my request for information when I asked.

Recently, I've learned that most employers don't consider the UoP program to be valuable or valid education, despite the school's accreditation. That charge is easy to believe, since the school itself refuses to accept its own credits!
