I too know how it feels to be ripped off by on-line courses. I attended Kaplan university for 3yrs on my way to graduation, however on march 6th 2009 kaplan shut me out from their on-line course. Frantic I tryed calling everyone involved trying to get back in, well finacial aide (where the problem existed) WOULD NOT return my phone calls, emails NOTHING either they were ignoring me or just didnt care i dont know. They continued to collect my finacial aid until I called the bank and had them stop sending money to their collage. With no hope of returning to kaplan I then figured I could attend AIU yet another mistake on my behalf, they too are under investigation for this scam that swindled money from many people tring to get a better education. What ever you do DONT JOIN AN ON-LINE COURSE you are better off going to a campus. At least there you get what you pay for.
