Unfortunately, I am a current student at Kaplan University's online program. I am taking the Criminal Justice program trying to get my bachelor's. What I am getting is a really bad headache.

The financial aid department there is so unprofessional, it is unreal. They cancel your Pell Grants without your knowledge just to begin with. It took me over a YEAR to get my financial aid rep to call me back...yes I said a year. They gave me another one, and she is no better. I email her my concerns, she emails me back to call her. I call her, she does not return my calls.

The financial aid department there covers each others tail, because, if you ask for a supervisor, nobody knows any names and is unwilling to escalate the issue.

Kaplan University is the biggest mistake I ever made. I enrolled and am now in debt more than 20,000. If I continue, I still have a year to go and have to endure the ignorant people at Kaplan...but, if I withdraw I only have 94 credits that I found out won't transfer anywhere plus the debt.

I don't recommend this online rip-off to anyone. Please, do yourself a favor and attend on campus. Don't be stupid like me.

I am surprised the credits will not transfer, Kaplan is a RA school. Have you tried places such as Excelsior College, Thomas Edison State, or Charter Oak State College aka the Big Three??

www.tesc.edu
www.cosc.edu

They have a generous transfer policy.
