Hi there, I'd like to file a formal complaint. On Jan 29th, I was contacted by University of Phoenix admissions counselor by the name Jason Abriel:
Jason Abriel, Admissions Counselor
University of Phoenix | Axia of University of Phoenix
200 Corporate Pointe Suite A-150| Culver City, CA 90230|
Phone (310) 242-2054| Fax (310) 525-2692 | email: jason. Abriel@phoenix. Edu, after I inquired online regarding their online degree program for IT/networking. From what I understood, and told, I have four options to pay for college. My 1st option would be financial aid & grant, 2nd option scholarships, 3rd put standard loans, 4th option TR, (i have no idea what this is), last is cash. I told my financial situation, and what I wanted to achieve. I had told him I'm looking for affordable education with a school of better reputation, and at the same time earn my online degree for IT/networking.
I told him my previous trade/college schools i attended, Computer Learning Center of Los Angeles, CA 90010 back in summer 2000 thru Spring Los Angeles Trade Tech 1998 thru 1999. I like to find work in that field, so that I can earn more. I was already enrolled hoping that Financial Aid, Cal Grant would help me pay for college, and what ever left, I would get a check in the mail to do whatever I please. I had told Admissions Counselor Jason Abriel, I dont make much, and he requested to see my 2006 Federal Tax 1040EZ. He reassured me that with my household income, I would qualify for Financial Aid, and or Cal Grant. Also my IT credits would then apply/be credited to Axia college of University of Phoenix. The 2nd last option would be to apply for student loan thru private lender, and last option is to pay cash. I did everything to signing up for school through Phoenix University. However now I am enrolled in Axia college of University of Phoenix for 2 weeks now. I just assumed it was just a division of the school because it was so large. Yesterday I received a call from Cynthia Garner
University of Phoenix | AXIA College l Online Campus and Campus Share Initiative l 3157 E Elwood St | Phoenix, AZ 85034
phone (800) 366-9699 Ex: 79675 | fax (602) 643-0700 | email: cynthia. Mcdowell@phoenix. Edu
That I did not qualify for Financial Aid/Cal Grant. And that I have to pay 100% of my tuition of $7600/year out of my pocket. Why wasnt I told I would end up paying all my tuition fee & credit me for my transcript/previous credits I earned from Computer Learning Center of Los Angeles before I started my class on February 25th. Then while browsing online, I came across some chats, forums, testimonial from previous students of Axia College of University of Phoenix of involvement of shaddy business & fraud, also making me think that I am getting a degree from Axia and not University of Phoenix. If I wanted to go to a college not a university I wouldn't be paying the outrageous prices, and dont want to be ripped off by dropping my 2 online classes, which are Gen 105 & Com 140, and cancelling my Sallie Mae: P.O. Box#147020, Ganesville, FL 32614-7020. Student loan. My account #??? Here are links to rip off report, and U.O. P pleaded guilty article report from associated press./Colleges-and-Universities/Axia-College-Of-Univ/axia-college-of-university-of-8B9QB.htm, http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/0116biz-apollogroupsuit16-ON.html
In FINALIZED CONCLUSION, can you please DROP AND CANCEL MY STUDENT LOANS from Sallie Mae Incorporated and AXIA COLLEGE of University of Phoenix ASAP? I am looking forward to your SPEEDIEST RESOLUTION / REPLY to this matter.
