Is there anything I can do...Online school is ripping people off!
I attended online classes with AIU. I was supposed to graduation in December 2006. I was one more full class away from receiving my Bachelor’s degree in computer programming. Because I was missing some general elective courses, I was planning on taking the CLEP exams to take care of the credits I was missing. During this time, I was in the midst of a job change and I did not have money to pay for the exams. AIU informed me that because I hadn’t taken the CLEP exams, five new classes were added to my schedule, extending my graduation until spring of 2007. I told them that I was still planning on taking the CLEP exams, but I just didn’t have the money at the time. I had discussed my situation with an academic advisor and he told me I could take them as long as I get them done before December. Well, that same week I was told that if I didn’t get a loan to cover classes that were scheduled for April, then I would be withdrawn from school. I was withdrawn that week, and 2 weeks later, I received a bill for 900. They said they sent my loan back to the lender before they took out the remaining charges. I called bank, they told me that they should have taken the remainder of bill and the refund the rest. There is more details.
