Colorado Tech is more of a business then a school. What they do is lure you in with what ever promise it would take to get you to go to there school and then once you are a student they act like they don't know what your talking about once you bring up what was promised. My experience was one dramatic episode after another, starting with the constant phone calls pressuring you to attend there school as if they were bill collectors aggressively trying to get you to pay a bill. Once i finally completed all the hoops they had me jump threw to become a student they send you software and your book to begin classes. Once i downloaded the software, that was supposed to make it easier for me to do my class work while at CTU my computer crashed. This all happened about 2 weeks before the April 8 session. So i called and told them there would be no way i would be able to attend classes due to my computer problems. So my adviser at that time Carrie Johnson ext. 68754 told me that there was a way that i can put a computer into my tuition and get that money before school started and confirmed by calling Financial Aide on three way call so that all three of us, myself, Carrie and the Financial Aide officer Jose ext 68714 were all on the phone at the same time and he also told me to be expecting some additional funding in the amount of $2500 payable in 3 installments the first one being 8 to 12 weeks from the date i fill out the additional request form.in other words i would have to find another computer to do my work on for about 8 weeks until my request for additional funding was seasoned which was not a problem until when i went to log on i was no loner a student and that stopped the proses of my additional request because you must be a student for that 8 to 12 week period. So i called and asked what had happened with my enrollment and i was told that the Financial Aide officer as well as Carrie, my admissions adviser had disciplinary action taken against them for lying to a student and would not go into it anymore and i just assumed that the student was me until i talked to my new admissions adviser D'andre at ext 68687 who gave me the same promise after i explained to him what happened. I enrolled again thinking that they may have dropped me because of the two employee's who lied to another student but what they told me had to be true because here is some one totally different telling me the same thing. I checked all my p's and q's with the additional funding and attended my first class and passed with an A. But starting the next session i went to inquire about my additional funding because, being a single father i cant keep taking off of work early to go to the library to do my work in California my Rent is due every month, and they told me that i didn't fill out the additional request form and that if i did i would only qualify for $42 which first off is not enough for a computer and second was about $2458 shy of what they told me i qualified for in the first place before i was a student. They knew how much there tuition was and they new how the financial aide process worked being that they are financial aide workers. That has me upset because i could have went to another school that could have helped me at that time and been happy in school right now.instead i am upset because i had to drop my classes and the school is claiming that the student loans that i accumulated while there will get sent back to the lender but i have a letter form salle mae saying other wise. Then i stumble on to this web page and find out that they doing this to more than just me. I have even talked to CTU employees that don't even work form the state were the school is so i ask how they regulate what these TELEMARKETERS tell potential students that find the convenience of a 100% online courses appalling because of there job or children or whatever the case may be. This has cost me time money, and motivation because i currently have an F in my classes now and they folks in administration really don't give a damn!!! There is a hole lot more to this story but i fell that it doesn't matter they got my money and what can i do to get it back. Absolutely nothing. This is now the reason why i would never trust an online school again. And the ironic thing about this is while i was typing this complaint the commercial. FOR CTU CAME ON A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES
