I took all of my books and then didn't feel the need to use them. The questions were not that similar to assignments. They were based off of a case study and in essay format.

I'm scheduled to take the Proctor this Monday, Feb. 11. Thanks for the detailed info !

Just took my final proctored exam last week, essay format.

Got the result this morning. Passed!

Moving on to the Capstone Project!


Hoo hoo

First off let me get to the facts. The school gave me an institutional loan to get my MBA. I was very grateful to the school and made my $90 monthly payments against the loan. Every class I took I had to purchase worthless lecture notes with grammatical errors and excerpts from the texts at $100 a pop. Nothing even remotely resembling a lecture or notes from any lecture. After graduation I was laid off from my job due to the current economic situation. I was told I could not receive my diploma until I paid off my loan in full. As I was now collecting peanuts on unemployment which could not even keep my household afloat I could not make payments and let the school know this.
A few months afterwards I finally land a great job, pending a full background check. Aspen University told the prospective employer that I did not hold a degree from Aspen. Crippling my chances at the job as my credibility was shot. After speaking with the horrible administration there and not even receiving a response from the new President of the University. I was told they would not confer my degree until my loan was paid in full even if it took 3 years. Now the job offer is being rescinded as I failed a background check. So not only can I not begin making payments again to Aspen but I have to go back into the job market and look for another job. Remembering to Omit my hard earned MBA. Nice job at holding my MBA hostage Aspen University.

Why would you list a degree on your resume or application if you had not earned it or actually had a transcript that showed that the degree was conferred? For example, when I finished up my Masters degree in December of 2007, it was 2 days before Xmas when the last class wrapped. On the graduation application it stated that it could be anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks before a transcript that showed the degree was conferred would be available, since the university had to ensure that I had met all the requirements and financial obligations. I too was interviewing for jobs but I did explain this process to them, that I had met all the academic requirements but the actual degree conferring process takes 1 to 3 weeks.

Most universities, whether online, traditional, for profit, non profit, will not confer degrees unless all financial obligations are paid and settled, this is standard practice. Always read the fine print when submitting a graduation application to check for any fees or requirements that have to be met. Your prospective employer may have felt jipped or lied to, especially since they checked with the university to see if you actually had a degree.
