University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

The cost. Other than that I love my classes at school

How large the classes were and how hard it is to connect with people. It takes time but most people do find their niche eventually.

I wish that I would have looked into my online school opions a little more. Even though I feel like University is going to be the best fit for me, I didnt know that there were that many online based schools.

I would have loved to know that all instructors are not as pleasant and understanding as others are. I was under the empression the instructors will do their best at making sure all material is understood.

I wish that I had done a lot more studying in high school! But that was 40 years ago. I wish I had known that I was going to feel panicky, just not knowing if I can do this. It's a very scary situation to be in. I'm a gilder, by profession, for the last 6 years. I got laid off. This was my choice, and rather suddenly, because I don't want to depend on my husband paying me spousal support the rest of my life. I'm more learning as I go along. No hind sight.

I would have hope for more insight to career paths and personal learning skill assesments.

I would like to have known more about scholarships. They rely on the Pell grant and student loans. It would have good information to know sources for scholarships.

I wish I had taken the time to sit and decide what is was I actually saw myself doing professionally before i went to school for several different things and piling up student laons for things I obviously cannot see myself doing in the future professionally.

The only thing I wish I knew before I started school is that I was eligible for the HESSA grant as well but because the school is not based out of NJ they will not alllow me to use the money. WHich is unfair because their is a NJ campus and I am in NJ online. I love the school and I am very pleased with eveything. My counsler Vanessa is fantastic and spoils me. No mattter what question I have or what I need she gets it done for me. I am also very happy with my teachers.

The school has very strict policies. They do not allow extra credit. If you post into a class 2x (which is required on the first day) you have to pay for that class no matter what. If you are lucky enough to get an incomplete, assisnments cannot be turned in after 4 days and they lose 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} each day, you have only 5 weeks to make up the work. These are only a few examples but the rules are VERY strict and there is no bending at all. Also if you need disability services you have to have a DR.
