      Hello I never field a complaint because i didnt know I could, however for a very long time I have been feeling like I got taken advantage of by UEI and its not fair the way they run there business and get away with things . I went there back in 2010 and Im sure the school was less then ****** like it is now . I got a $5550 ***** for 2010-2011 , and another for the same amount in 2011-2012 , I only went to school for 7 months and so i dont know how they got double the money and I still ended up with a ****** Loan and had to go out of pocket each semester for extra fees, on my student aid it says I was suppose to get a disbursement for ***** for 2010-11 , and ***** 2011-12 i never knew about until I recently saw this account so all of this just doesnt add up to me they never told me how much they got in *****, I notified FAFSA. Another issue is that they dont even certify you to become a professional. These credits dont count towards any other school its just a big scam.

      Just don't go here. You want to go to a real school that actually cares about your finances and education then look elsewhere. The school apparently received $7,000 from my fasfa which I find interesting because when I applied it only said they were going to get $2,000. Where did the extra $5,000 come from?Next in the list of things they said the money was going to is a upright lie. In the list it said food, housing, transportation and many other things but when I came into office asking if I can have a 30 day bus pass they told me to write a form explaining the whole detail about why I needed one they denied me a 30 day pass and only gave me a 15 day bus pass because a 30 day bus pass is too expensive. Then when I came in and asked about the passes they were upright rude to me and said I'm not allowed to get another bus pass for the rest of the semester without giving me a real reason why. But wait, there's more! I had set up a automatic payment with my credit card and they decided to charge my account 4 times, twice for $60 then another two times for $120 which caused my bank to freeze my account. So I have to pay manually now and that's also a bad idea! Because everytime I come in to pay the merchant won't give the financial department monet until after the 10 day grace ****** so I have late fees I was unaware of until I had to call in regards the late fee. We do not get ********** not have transportation and they hire a racist ex marine who's already in retirement age harass us whenever we speak out. I have wasted my time my money and my knowledge at this school and all hope for the education system here in ******* (yes all of North America) is gone.
