I thought this school was suppose to be accredited and in business for 40 years, and in New York it might be true.in New York it might even be a decent school. However here in Arizona it's Medical Coding and billing department is only 3 years old and not well recognized.
The Allen School is not what you expect in a college or university. Also be prepared to provide your financial and personal documents to these people 4 times as they will lose them.
Also be prepared to babysit there financial aid department, there administrative department... Everybody, also expect them not to follow through on any thing they say to you. Check and double check and make sure they provide you documented proof of all of this. I failed to do this and now due to them not filing paperwork on time I am in default of my student loan.
If you get nothing else out of this than please make sure you do this, not just for the Allen school but for any online school. Make sure they report to the National Clearing House for Student loans, as well as the NSLDS and make sure they provide you written documentation of this.
If they do not seem to know what either of these agencies are 'RUN' don't walk away and save yourself a lot of grief and mental anguish not to mention your credit score. Unfortunately this advise came far to late to save my credit score so I can only hope it saves yours.
It's online convenience is far over shadowed by it's technical, it's administrative, and financial aid nightmares.
