So this report should be a positive one right?
Well let me tell you my story. I graduated from UOP in June of this year. Diploma states June 16 to be specific. I attended UOP for the last 2 years with no problem. No classes failed, no drop outs, etc. Since Feb., I have always had a credit balance (school owes me). I figured nothing of it as I thought they were just holding it in case I failed a class, so no big deal to me. During the final week of my final class, and cruising to the end with an A average, I decided to write my financial advisor about the excess funds left over from my student loan ($2,381). She advised me that it would be returned to its rightful owner (the student loan company or myself) when I finalized my diploma. I knew it would be returned to me as I have already started making payments on my loan because I wasn't strapped for cash and decided to start making payments and have been for the last year.
I now hold this diploma in my hand and I even registered as a alumni at the UOP. People may consider the diploma useless, but to me it was an personal accomplishment as I can not even use it currently, but hope it opens up doors for me in the future by pursuing a Masters degree.
Almost 2 months later, so I decided to "write" my financial advisor again yesterday to "remind" her of this credit balance and that I was no longer enrolled in the UOP because I am an Alumni. Notice I said write, because I want to keep a "paper trail" just in case. I will keep you inform of what happens as I do not see any similar case to mine yet. Eithier way the UOP even screwed up a potential success story and after reading all the complaints I am starting to wish I never got involved with this school.
