This procedure I really want done is about $6000. I have bad credit and am seriously considering care credit to pay for it because I am so desperate. After reading these reviews I still want to think that these things would not happen to me. Hasn't someone had a good experience when using this company?

I am a graduate student using 100% financial aid for my education expense. upon completing my fourth (4th) graduate glass, I was made aware of a financial aid mistake exucuted by the finacial aid department at Argosy University. This mistake reflects that I owe Argosy $4800.00. Now no one will return my phone calls or e-mails to explain how this could or did happen. I have a 3.60 GPA and now I am forced to choose another university and waist the time and effort and federal money on this bogus university. This is not the end by no means as I will pursue this legally if required. Michael Washington

This is also a complaint with Argosy Univ. (Phoenix Campus) for unethical and unprofessional behavior. I graduated with my MA in Forensic Psychology in Jan 2011. I decided to further my career in their Masters in Clinical Mental Health Program to ultimately get my LPC. I was 11 months into the program before they told me that I couldn't transfer some of my classes from the Forensic Program to the Clinical MH Program. They told me after I submitted my transfer credits in Oct that none would be transfered and I would have to take all the same classes again. Mind you I am on student loans so I just found this completely unethical. I was in the Clinical MH Program 11 months before they did any advising. They took all my student loans and I found out today that now I am not eligible for any more student loans (Masters Level) because of this. I spoke with the DOE and they didn't seem to care where there money was going. Tell me, what idiot would use student loan money to take the same classes I took in my Forensics all over again??? These people are such a rip off. I have also filed a complaint with the AZ Private Postsecondary Education People. They just couldn't believe Argosy did this...

Unfair grading
A recruiter randomly called me in Dec.2010 from Argosy University. I am a single mother of 3 and on disability. However, I was very excited when I learned I could still pursue my dream of earning a degree in Psychology. Not only was I told I would earn my Bachelor’s degree, I would receive financial aid from the government to cover all coast and would never have to pay anything back if I attended Argosy on line. I ask if the school was Nationally Accredited and he said it was not only nationally accredited he listed of a number of other credits it had and stated if I attended Argosy I was guaranteed a nationally recognized degree, job placement, and the degree would meet the Alabama state license requirements. I started class in January 2011. Within a few months, my academic counselors called me and ask if I would like to drop a class so that I would be able to spend more time studying one class and spend more time with my family. I was doing fine, My GPA was 3.95 and I held all A's and even made the Dean's list. After about an hour of questions and answers and my main question concerned my financial aid being removed, Mrs. Nicole Dewarter stated my aid would be fine and I also spoke with my finance counselor Mrs. Pattie and see stood by Mrs.Dewarter stating I would not owe any funds if I dropped a class to either the school or the government. After this situation, the tornado hit in April, and I lost family, friends, my home. I contacted my counseling team and explained the situation; they worked with me for weeks afterwards and withdrawal me from class because I was unable to attend due to the destruction. I was told I would not owe anything, because this was out of my control. When I was able to go back to school, I realized my account stated I owed an outrageous amount of money and immediately called the school. I have been dealing with these ladies since April regarding the removal of these funds that they still say should not be on there. Last week, my finance worker called me and stated that I owe over $11, 000 to the school, and over $40, 000 to the government. I argued with them over the last week, and now I am withdrew from class today because I can see something is very wrong and I am asking for your legal advice. There is so much more to my attendance and problems with Argosy than stated, this is just a small amount of what I have been through. In addition, I was never actually taught by an instructor. My instructors gave a small amount of feedback during discussion post and sometimes I personally did not receive feedback regarding my post at all. I also feel like I wasted the last year of my life with this school. I often stayed up until 2 and 3 in the morning and spent 16 hours on assignments. Taking away time from my 3 children for what? Thank you, T

Unfair grading
ARGOSY CHICAGO CAMPUS - The staff, dr's harass students by not allowing them to finish there program. Instead they hold the students grade and make them go through a 16 week remedial sessions with a chosen professor which is all in reality just a way for them to postpone the student from getting there degree and making the student pay more and more money to a decision that is based on no facts merely opinion from the faculty. Its a SCAM. When you reach out to the dean of the school she is not on your side. Instead you are brought in front of the boardf and threatened to be thrown out of the program. Something has to be done. A class action law suit needs to be filed.

I'm having issues with argosy also. I just withdrew because I can't never get my financial aid rep to call me back and now they are dragging their behinds in returning my financial and preventing me from attending another college. This school is so unprofessional and rude. You can never get a manager and I hate I choose this school to get my education. I made a complaint with the Arizona state board rep Keith Blanchard.

Incorrect Information
To whom just wrote or has felt Argosy has caused he or she medical problems. I have no idea which Argosy you are attending. I want you to know I feel and have medical problems or recovery complication because of what you commented about. I looked in to a lawyer for a similar situation and I whould may or may not win. I believe that your not alone but we need to get others involve and stand up and make an voice. I believe some sort of discrimination is also a way to describe my situation. The stress administration and financial aid can put on you is uncalled for. A medical note is not enough to convince Argosy you are having problem. I think Argosy Administration, counselor and financial aid believe that that is only accepted in high school. Thing and important health factor affect Adult learners as well. Believe me 2 health problems, fatality in a life can cause stress. Argosy represents a "psychology and practices mental health. Stress, health can cause anyone frustration and failure to motivate you to even attend or participate on line. The only hope is if you have a professor that understands and helps you threw this. Fortunately I had on professor out of 4 that understood and helped me threw an IP. My advice to you is lets unite and voice and get legality involve. Argosy is been doing this to many. I have no idea how they still stay accredited. In fact they audited all my information trying to prove I was fraudulent. I knew I had did nothing wrong who I was very patient. Sad new is now they do have reason to put me on probation or even kick me out because of my GPA. I am a good student and it shows with my other grades. When I get a F or an IP that should something that my academic counselor should recognize. So I( feel your frustration but a corporation funded by federal funds have federal backing and taking on a corporation(higher education) seems to be hopeless.

Unethical and ruthless
Unfortunately If you had really been attending Argosy University, then this would not have happened because unless you do not do your work, they do not remove you from class as long as you paid your tuition. I personally have earned over 100 credit hours with Argosy, and I have been a student since 2008. I can say that I haven't had the best experience with my financial aid but as long as I communicate with them, I stay in my classes.

Count me in. I have been going round and round with financial aid since October. She is so incompetent its not funny. They have some $4000 jammed up somewhere and cannot find their butts. I withdrew from a class last semester because the instructor was unbearable, they wanted to charge me for 50% of that class, but are supposed to be giving that back and MY STUPID ACADEMIC ADVISER put me back in with the same instructor. I would be happy to join a class action against them!

Also, you might want to check out that Argosy has just been sued by the Department of Justice for mismanagement of financial aid. It's a mess. I really hope to get my degree and get out. My academic counselors are okay, but it amounts to more smoke up my butt really.

BAD BUSINESS
I have been at Argosy for the past two years and I must I have been treated really bad by teachers, advisors. I came in as a blended students only for all my require courses to become online . My first three teachers were good but the fourth teacher was very bad no communication, no help at all when I went to her boss and my advisors they stated I was crazy and everything was on me. I was in my last class. The teacher give me a C 75% I had to take the class over and got an A 95% by the way. I mean I was spend a lot of money with this school and I can really say they are not worth it... I am now in my Capstone working with a teacher that I have talk to once and emailed three times but other then that no communication. So I am paying for this class that I am teaching myself with little to no communication I hate to go to my advisor I might end up with a C again and have to take the class over and pay 1,656 again NOT FAIR TO THE STUDENTS AT ALL!! by the way I have been in class since May 7th and have not gotten a refund yet plus no answers when asked what is going on... PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL THEY ARE VERY BAD WITH BUSINESS AND STUDENTS.

Bad education, high payments
I never thought that going to this school would be such a mistake. After studying there for a year I have began to deal with some kind of problems. Like they have been charging me extra for something they never explained what exactly. The teachers changed and are not as good as the old ones were. It’s like they decided to close down a good school, and are just trying to rob you blind by providing bad education conditions. I do not recommend anyone to start off with this school.
