Yesterday (7/27/06) I found out that AIU is on probation. This was a total shock to me and I am floored by it. I am a dual major MBA student that enrolled with AIU in March of this year. I was not told by my admissions advisor that the school is on probation.
In fact, I was told that the school was accredited and was even sent links and copies of information detailing that accreditation. I wish I had the foresight to check with the accreditations committee. Unfortunately I did not. Now, four courses later (24 credit hours) I find out that my diploma will not be worth the paper it will be printed on.
I started checking out the University of Phoenix, because I wanted to get a second BS degree. (Thank goodness my first one didn't come from AIU). To find out that my courses may or may not transfer because AIU is on probation was a total shock. I feel that the AIU should notify students and provide them with the option of transferring to a new school and return at least a portion of the tuition that students paid since December.
That option should be provided to all students that enrolled in AIU courses since the school was made aware of their change in status. Their recruitment process can't be ethical. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what actions I should take now?
Thanks
