Virginia College

This school is awful! The classes do not transfer and will not go towards your CCAF. Because my math teacher doesn't have his master's degree, I have to re-take Math. This school is VERY expensive. Although TA will cover it, you can get a lot more elsewhere. I was ripped off numerous times by this school. I am a SSgt in the Air Force and highly DO NOT recommend! The school's departments do not talk to each other and everyone passes you off to someone else. The school is very unhelpful and disorganized. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!

THIS SCHOOL IS A RIP-OFF. COME TO FIND OUT THIS DEGREE WAS NOT EVEN OFFERED IN THE STATE OF NC. THEY GOT ME FOR ALMOST 40,000. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO DISPUTE THIS SEEING HOW I ACCIDENTALLY CAME ACROSS THIS INFORMATION FROM ANOTHER SITE THEY HAVE. THIS SCHOOL IS A JOKE AND THE BBB SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB WHEN INVESTIGATING BUSINESSES LIKE THIS PIECE OF CRAP SCHOOL.

This school is seriously lacking in communication and professionalism. The main focus is making sure they get paid. The quality of your education means nothing. Please do NOT waist your time and money on this institution.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this BS an big fat zero. The school STAFF is full malarkey. They catch an attitude when I ask about information pertaining my advance loan. I have been in school since April of this year and still no loan. What is the hold up with my money that I have to pay back. They act like it coming out of the pocket. Now they stating that I owe them, I don't recommend this MESS to anyone. They only care about tricking people to sign up and get paid. And the student portal is a bunch of JUNK. It doesn't show nothing unless you owe them. I have been getting the run around every since June. They don't return phone calls or emails. I could understand if I wasn't attending class properly and my grades wasn't good but, this is not the case with me at all. Really terrible. Can't wait until this NIGHTMARE is over. BEWARE: Stay away from Virginia College online.

I graduated from this hellhole of a school with an Associates but could not attend my graduation because of the incompetence of the financial aid department. The staff are bums and morons from the Dean on down and then they have the audacity to catch attitudes because you call asking about YOUR refund check that YOU are going to have to pay back. We, the students have to suffer because they switched over to a new system of dealing with your disbursements and refunds, BLAH, BLAH BLAH. All of these excuses are just a smokescreen to keep your money. They act as if they are doing you a favor by giving you YOUR money. When I called in to the financial aid office I always got a *sigh* and an attitude because these functioning retards do not want to do their job. The financial aid coordinator that I was assigned to never had any information about my loans. She just told me some crap to get me off the phone. Why was she even there? There was never an exact breakdown of what I was paying for. If you go on the student portal, which btw is a joke of a website that looks like it had been created by a intoxicated toddler, they only show your loan disbursements and your balance so that is not a true breakdown either. These people are shysters to the core. Let us not even get on the illiterates that they have for professors/instructors. They have the audacity to take off points if you make one typo but they can jack up a whole paragraph and think someone is supposed to take them seriously. One of these so-called “instructors” told me that I was SOL since my computer crashed and did not even try to help me with the situation. This was not the case for all of the instructors but the great majority seemed like they could have phoned in their so-called “instruction.” In addition, the process of securing an externship was a total fiasco. I was told at the very last minute that I could not use certain sites for an externship. The first externship coordinator that I had did next to nothing to help me. However, the second coordinator worked her butt off to help me secure a site. She actually gave a damn. However, when I did secure a site it was in the third week of the damn course teamed with the fact that the damn externship was 30 miles away round trip. Therefore, I am spending 80-100 bucks a week in gas and putting wear and tear on my car trying to get my externship hours. Again, I am coming out of money and no one is going to reimburse me for my gas but they have the gall and nerve to hold my refund check hostage and tell me that I am the bad person for inquiring about MY OWN money. Are you serious?? Oh and finally yet, importantly, they switched the graduation date of the ceremony by a week and did not have the decency or the tact to apologize or give an explanation as to why this was done. The e-mail, in a nutshell, went like this “we switched the date of your graduation ceremony can you still attend?” They did not give a thought that some students might be from out of town and have made plans and reservations to attend on the initial date. That crap was so unprofessional and inconsiderate. I have totally had it with this bootleg establishment posing as a college. I was enrolled in the bachelors program but after this last debacle with my refund check, I have since ditched this school for a more reputable one. Messing with MY money and making me miss an opportunity to walk across the stage was the last straw for me. Anyone considering this school, either online or otherwise, should avoid it as if it was an STD!!

When researching which school to go to I found that this school had a great price and books and materials were included in price and all shipping charges were also included.
