In I registered myself with Grantham University, as the major selling point was:
Stated:
Take as much time as you need to finish (catered to Military and Government), with no penalties.
Remarks:
This has since changed. Grantham NOW states that "You are allowed to finish at your own pace. However, there is a maximum of 8 weeks to complete each course. If you need more time to finish, you can apply for an extension."
Stated:
Grantham is a fully acreddited university, recognized by the DETC, and all credits are transferrable.
Remarks:
Grantham NOW states: "Grantham University's degree programs are self-paced. Students are allotted 8 weeks to complete each course; however, you can accelerate your course completion based on your study habits and time devoted to the material. Some students have completed their bachelor's degree in as little as 18 months depending on the number of transfer credits accepted, diligence in studies, type of degree program, number of electives, etc."
I was contacted by Grantham, and told that I had just one week to complete 4 courses and take the proctored exams for, these courses of which I had not even received books for yet. I was told that if I did NOT take the proctored exams for these courses (regardless of the fact that I did not receive the books), that they would go into a "Failed" status.
I withdrew from Grantham, and was told that that due to a failure to withdraw within 5 business days of the start date, I was not eligible for a refund. They claim that I still owe them tuition for courses not even started.
I have also discovered that many of their credits are NOT transferrable to other schools, as they are NOT accredited.
