Nothing But Terrible

This has to be one of the worst school around. Everything about it screams scam from day 1. I should have realized it from the start. The enrollment "specialists" give vague information about everything. It is such a waste of money. You could get the same "degree's" from other places for 1/2 or even 1/4 of the price. Oh, and your credits will NOT transfer to any credible institution. This school is in business to make money, period. It is a private college. As long as you are paying they don't give a D@mn about anything else. RUN AWAY from this school and don't look back. It will be the best decision you ever made about furthering your education. RUN, RUN, RUN and when you quit running away RUN again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON VIRGINIA COLLEGE!!!

I finished in September of 2011 and was unable to walk until February 2012. So to all I was out of pocket for quite a dit as well, and very upset because none of my credits will transfer and now I'm stuck starting all over. But I have contact a lawyer about my tuition being refund. Don't waste your time with VC.

I will be graduating in June 2013 with my BA in Criminal Justice. I have enjoyed my time with Virginia College Online, its flexible schedule has allowed me to be a stay at home mom while I obtain my degree. The flexibility of the school was a key factor to me, as I care for a disabled daughter and diabetic mother in law. In addition, I feel that the instructors at this institute have challenged me beyond my expectations. The online learning experience was excellent; yes a little pricey, but remember you are paying for convenience.

I did not realize the classes didn't transfer to other colleges. I have tried for over a month to get my transcript so I can enroll in another college to obtain my degree and they now say I have ghost charges. I was enrolled online and I have one course that the teacher could not open my work for 3 attempts at this class. I was unable to reach a human to help me until I called coorporate and I am still currently waiting and missing out on yet another semester at another college.

This school is a rip off

I attended this school for a month. After my first month, I called to find out how much my tuition was so I could pay it. I got the run-around. I was sent through 3 different people and the guy who was suppose to know didnt even know how much I owe. Instead he asked how much I get from the VA for education. Whatever I got from them (according to him) is what I owe. I know this isn't true because I went to a different school prior and they set my payments up where I would pocket money and the same for the new school I am attending. I don't owe my entire VA check to the school. The guy also would not add in my student loans and pell grants to my tuition. I was also told I owe $400 for the last few days of February. After getting no straight answer as to how much I owe and getting no bill in the mail, I decided to drop Virginia College. Two months after I stop attending Virgina College, I still don't receive a bill. I receive a letter in the mail stating that I owe them $3,837.60. I cannot figure out how this is so when no one could tell me how much I owe, I only attended for a month, and that is triple what I got in VA payments that they decided my tuition was. This school is a joke and nothing more than a rip off. Make sure when choosing a school, you choose a legimate school.
