I was dismissed from their program while having a full hip replacement after being diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis in January 2022. I had first made the school aware of my diagnosis in December 2021, and advised I would need surgery and experienced rapid progression of my diagnosis and needed to be hospitalized multiple times. Keeping the school in the loop. I emailed their staff and received no response because staff members were absent from the school, and never told other staff members and during this time I was dismissed, even after other staff members were told of my current state and inability to walk, and being stuck to a hospital bed, they still expected me to attend classes in person, and ultimately let me go and charged me full tuition rates for the remainder of my tuition. They even sped up the process and sent my account to a collection agency, effecting my credit score. I lost my health insurance due to not having my grants or loans not be able to afford my health insurance premium, losing access to my physical therapy and prescription pain meds. And when I tried to contact the school, no one would email me back or contact me. I tried to mediate and the school denied me the chance of a refund, money for damages, or to even cancel my loans and offer me a letter of recommendation for a job in the field. This place discriminates against those with disabilities or health related issues. Their course catalogue disregards students with disabilities and students dealing with ***********************************, allowing students no medical leave or time to deal with health matters. They are cruel business with no respect for decency to basic human rights. They need to be held responsible for denying me a right to an education while dealing with my disability.
