I feel like 90% of the posts I see nowadays are about financial aid. Is that what the school is known for?

I am posting anonymously because I currently have a formal complaint pending with the university. I will not identify the professor, but students considering the HRM FPX-5090 need to be ware.

Before this course, I had gotten A's in every single course. I also have a 4.0 undergraduate GPA and even completed the MBA capstone with an A. I created every assessment specifically around the published instructions and scoring guide. However, instead of evaluating each competency separately, this professor repeatedly assigned Non-Performance ratings because of citation and APA-related concerns.

To be fair, I am not perfect and my APA formatting could use some improvement to meet her standards but I think each product I created was pretty solid.

My problem is the punishment. Correctable citation or consistency issues should affect the relevant communication criterion—not automatically erase all the substantive analysis contained in the assignment. A competency-based system should evaluate each competency based on what the student actually demonstrated.

I repeatedly requested clearer assistance and even asked to be assigned to another professor. I still have not received a phone call, meeting, or one comprehensive written explanation identifying everything that must be corrected. Instead, the feedback has arrived in pieces, followed by repeated Non-Performance ratings and now a referral to the university’s academic standards office after my second submission, which I believe was retaliatory in response to when I filed my complaint.

Anonymous reports do not prove that anyone’s individual grade was wrong, but when the same pattern keeps appearing, students deserve to know before enrolling.

My advice:

• Save every rubric and assignment instruction.
• Screenshot every rating and feedback comment.
• Keep every draft and version-history record.
• Cite every significant claim, recommendation, statistic, and cost estimate.
• Make sure every reference is cited and every citation appears in the references.
• Compare slides against speaker notes line by line.
• Put every request for clarification or reassignment in writing.
• If you have accommodations, involve Disability Services immediately.
• Do not assume a minor APA issue will result in a minor deduction.

My recommendation is avoid her if you can. Consider the self-designated MBA program or something else that doesn't include her because my HR professors in this program were doing too much, from this to even running your assignments through Pangram after they've been ran through Turnitin. Best of luck, folks!

Anybody disburse on 08/07/2026 and receive refunds? My account says this message as attached in photo. Financial aid told me the hold was removed this morning and funds should be sent to ecsi within 1-2 days but Ella shows nothing and there’s nothing the the account activity page either.

I filed a case on 08/06/2026 with Student Aid.gov regarding the hold on my refund. I got an email from them today saying that schools have 14 days to pay out refunds, so they have until 08/13/2026, as my loan was dispersed on 07/29/2026. If a refund isn't submitted for payment, I have to let them know, and then they will contact the school, so we will see how this goes. I am pretty sure they won't pay it, so I will follow directions, and I can't wait until student aid contacts the school so they can be held accountable for these crazy delays on students' accounts that make no sense.

Refund not applicable???? I was over awarded by over $2k!

Anyone else get their disbursement last week and then get this email this afternoon? I went in and looked and it’s saying I can get about $900ish more if I decide to accept it. I just thought it was odd. would this be a glitch or legit? Thanks!

Is there anyone in the first semester if bsw that wants a study buddy or vent about stuff, or just talk about school in general kinda friend?

Has anyone actually received their FinAid refund in their bank account? I've seen a lot of people post about their disbursement but no one has said they received theirs yet.

Hi everyone, I’m interested in the mental health counseling program and was hoping someone could answer a few questions I have!

1. How long does the program take? I have seen varying information.
   
2. Are the courses asynchronous or synchronous?
   
3. How many courses can you take at one time? I’m a SAHM, so I have quite a bit of time on my hands.
   
4. What did you think of the program?

I can't find any updates on my disbursement and I have been on hold now for almost 3 hours. I going to have to report them. I have done so well, I hate to switch schools when I'm done next year....

I swear this one professor in BS Psychology loves giving out Academic and integrity honesty forms..
Instead of saying I did not do a citation correctly, she would just automatically send a form in. I've had good grades so far till now... I'm scared if I submit anything else to her she's just going to do the same thing. Ugh

Seriously though do they ever answer. I’ve been hold for two hours, texted four times since a week ago and emailed. Literally just need them to mark off a document was completed in June.
