I worked with an advsior from this school on getting enrolled in the AA in Business Administration program for about a month and was "reminded" several times that they were "fully accredited by SACS". Luckily for me, I decided one day about 2 weeks ago that I wanted to do a little research to see what previous students thought of their time with AIU. Needless to say, what I found was not good. There were a few students who say that they have no complaints but for the most part the reviews were very bad. This site is actually what led me to find out that their accreditation is actually on probabtion. I made the decision then to withdraw from their school before classes started. I have talked to 4 different people (including my oh so helpful advisor) and was assured by all 4, (after trying to convince me that they are 100% sure that their accreditation will be fully reinstated in December), that I would be completely with drawn from their system with 24 hours and would NOT be liable for any charges. The first time I was told this was about a week and a half ago. I am still receiving e-mails from them stating that I should "Be ready to start class" on June 3rd. That is tomorrow. I have spoken with them again today (5th time) and was once again assured that it would all be taken care of and the I would be withdrawn within 24 hours. 24 hours from when??? I also informed the lady that I spoke with today that if it is not taken care of, I will be contacting SACS as well as my lawyer. My advice to anyone considering this school is to STAY AWAY!!! Far away!!! They are crooked and dishonest. I will be doing a lot more research before I make a decision as to what school I will be going to in the future. I was just lucky enough that I found out before actually starting classes. Some people have not been.
