I was attending this school to earn my PsyD, I was at the end of Ch.3 of my dissertation process. This is when the issues began was working on Ch.3. It first began with not getting feedback in a timely manner, which is stated in their own policy of 6 days for feedback from chair and 10 days for feedback from the committee and/or academic reviewer. It took a month the first time I took the course for this chapter which resulted in me having to take an extension ($250) and ultimately then having to retake the course ($1485). The second time I took the course for this ch. 3 the cycled repeated, however part of it was also with the academic reviewer giving me different feedback each time I corrected the previous feedback and resubmitted; this continued to delay the process resulting in me having to retake the course both times. After the second time of the same thing happening I took a leave of absence because I was unwilling to pay $1485 for a third time not knowing if the process was just going to to continue. At this point, it was obvious that they were intentionally doing this to get more money. I'm not the only student they were doing this to in the dissertation process, it is happening across the board in all chapters. I made the decision to withdraw from the program because I no longer trusted that they weren't going to continue to siphon money out of me with no end in sight. Currently, they owe me $466.25 since December, 2023. They provided me with the direct deposit form, which I returned to them on 12/22/23 and it was suppose to 45 days for me to get my refund. I have yet to get it. I emailed several times with no response. I threatened to file a complaint and get a lawyer and then I got a response that supposedly they were working on it, this was 3/7/24. It has been well past the 45 days, I asked when I would expect it on 3/12/24; no response. I'm tired of dealing with this school that is clearly ripping students off.
