| - I wish I could give this "college" a negative review. I am student at Arizona State University and had to dual enroll in this fine establishment in order to do a credit overload. I did not think it was humanly possible to have so many issues with an educational institution. I deeply regret not doing my homework and reading the reviews beforehand.
For starters, I had enrolled in three courses for the summer of 2014. I had to fight with them for WEEKS to get them to consider me an in state resident. Apparently a picture of your driver's license is not sufficient and they require that it be scanned. I was waiting for my bill to reflect instate tuition prior to making a payment. During this process I was dropped from my classes for being just over 24 hours late on my payment. I then had to take the time to enroll in all of my classes again.
If you're planning on taking a science course, good luck! They REQUIRE you MUST use a PC and Internet Explorer. I think 2005 was the last time I saw any college student use anything other than a MAC. Internet Explorer, Really? World's WORST internet browser. I have gotten through my entire college career with a MAC and now all of a sudden I'm being told that I cannot use it? Thankfully, I have a work laptop that's a PC. Best part? My office has Internet Explorer completely BLOCKED because it's a security risk. What does that tell you?
This anatomy and physiology course I have been taking is a NIGHTMARE. The syllabus acknowledgement did not register for whatever reason so I was unable to take my first quiz. I had emailed the instructor immediately who then contacted the bio department to let them know I was experiencing an issue. The quiz was due on Wed. and it wasn't until Saturday that I was finally able to take the quiz. I tried taking this on a PC, Mac and tried every internet browser I could possibly think of. Mind you, the instructor and I were emailing the entire time. I was then informed (after I took the quiz) that I would receive a zero because I told them I had used a Mac (it was the only thing that worked at that time).
I am currently taking the 8 week anatomy and physiology course. This course has 14 weeks of material, thus two lessons are due each week. They have an EXTREMELY strict 'self-accelerating' policy for this course. I was moving and wanted to complete my week two at the beginning of the week. I had assumed doing all of the work for week two would not be a problem. I was very wrong. I got an email from my instructor informing me that I was going to receive a zero on a 75 point assignment for "self-accelerating." Apparently you CANNOT do part B of week 2 during part A. Be warned, if you do work early you WILL receive a zero, but they will accept late work with a slight penalty. What college accepts late work, but gives their student a zero for doing something early? I freaked and emailed the head of the department. Thankfully, they gave me a one-time exception. Oh, and the lab quizzes, you have 13 minutes to answer 25 questions. Be prepared to make this course your life for the next 8 to 14 weeks.
This is the saddest excuse for a college. It's a glorified high school with policies worse than high school. Take my advice and look into other colleges prior to applying here. I don't think you will regret your decision.
