I enrolled at UOP in June to get my AA in Business Management. After a year and a half and coming close to completing my degree I began to talk with public universities about enrolling and obtaining my B.A. I was informed that UOP degrees do not meet the state of Florida educational guidelines therefore most of my 64 credit would not transfer and I would have to attend an school that meet these guidelines and complete another AA from the school I chose. So I finished the classes I was currently in at UOP, made sure I passed and withdrew from the school and enrolled at another school to finish my A.A. Degree which I practically have to start from the beginning with. Now my financial advisor from UOP is calling me telling me that I owe them $2350. When I ask why, they tell me that they had to return funds to the government that were due to be disbursed next year and I have to pay them for the returned funds. I think not, they are saying if I do not return the funds that they will hold my transcripts until I pay the money I owe. Well at least I was smart enough to request the transcripts the day before I withdrew and have already received them and they can take their threats and stick them. I was made to get loans by my financial aid advisor and now am in debt for a useless degree. I will be contacting an attorney for the cost of the loans, the lost time of getting a worthless degree and harrassment.
