Advertising phone calls are non -stop. I do NOT wish to be contacted from this organization in any form. They have been blocked but are still able to leave multiple voicemails daily. There is no obvious way to stop them, I have no interest in doing business with Post University under any circumstances.Business Response

Thank
you for providing Post University (Post) with the opportunity to review ******
*****’s concerns regarding his Federal Student Aid (***). We encourage Mr.
***** to reach out to the Director of Financial Aid to have a conversation and
better understand the requirements which Post University is held to by the US
Department of Education.
Mr.
***** began his enrollment at Post University on May 1, 2023, in Post’s
Accelerated Degree Program (ADP).
Courses in the ADP Program are offered in 8-week terms. Students receive
*** funds based on their enrollment in each payment period. A payment period is
comprised of two consecutive 8-week terms. Federal guidelines require schools
to disburse funds in substantially equal installments, and no installment may
exceed one-half of the loan. Post disburses funds twice per payment period at
the beginning of each 8-week term in equal installments based on a student’s
enrollment.
In his
communication, Mr. ***** indicated that he was promised financial aid of $6,745
and only received $945. Following receipt of Mr. *****’s communication, Post
reviewed Mr. *****’s financial aid eligibility.
For Mr. *****’s first 8-week term (for which he registered for 6
credits), his tuition, fees and laptop purchase totaled $2,329. Mr. ***** attended 3 of his 6 registered
credits in his first 8-week term. Based on his half-time enrollment in the
payment period, Mr. ***** was eligible to receive his first installment of ***
funds of $3,276 for his first 8-week term.
Post disbursed the funds and applied them to the charges of $2,329,
leaving a credit of $947 which Post disbursed to Mr. ***** in the form of
stipends in the amount of $22 on May 26th and $925 on June 6th.Post’s
records show that on May 16, 2023, Mr. ***** contacted his Financial Aid
Advisor (FAA) and stated that he needed to know if the financial aid would work
like it did for him (years ago at another institution) when he received a total
of $6745 all at once. On May 17, 2023,
in response to his request, Mr. *****’s FAA provided him with a detailed
communication breaking down all of the charges and *** funding, including the $947
credit for the term which would be issued as stipend funds, due to receiving
*** funding of $3,276 to be applied to charges of $2,329. The information was provided to ensure that Mr.
***** understood the timing, amounts, and application of his funding to his
ledger. In the communication, his FAA also reiterated that for the ADP program for
which he registered, *** funding is disbursed every 8-weeks in each term in
which he is enrolled. Post provided the
above information to Mr. ***** and did not promise any amount beyond that which
is detailed above to Mr. *****.In his
complaint, Mr. ***** stated that he had other loans to pay his educational
charges however no other fund sources were disclosed by Mr. ***** to his FAA. Mr. *****’s financial aid was processed and
disbursed in alignment with what was outlined to Mr. ***** by the FAA.Post’s
review of Mr. *****’s activity showed that we disbursed his *** funds in
accordance with federal guidelines and Post’s disbursement policies.Initial Complaint

I attended Post University back in 2015. I completed what classes I was told to complete in order to obtain my certificate. I’m 2017 I received a phone call from them threatening to send me to collections because I owed them money. It was the first I’ve heard of this issue and I told them so. They said they’d get back to me. They did not until a second threat to collections came. I then said I needed to speak to a manager. The manager set up a payment plan but would only do 3 months at a time with me. I always had to reach out to him to renew the plan. I finally got to speak to someone else after I got tired of chasing these people just to pay them, and that person set me up for automatic payments. They then took an unauthorized charge out of my account, causing me to be locked out of my account for a few days due to the report of the unauthorized charge. I immediately canceled the automatic payments and mailed checks. When the pandemic happened I called and stated that I could not pay at the time due to being laid off from my job. I did mail checks when I could pay, but I not once received any kind of statement from them. It’s been 2 years since I’ve heard from them and again they are threatening to send me to collections saying they repeatedly tried contacting me, despite my not hearing a word from them in 2 years and having no idea how much was left of my balance. I am no longer a student and don’t have access to their student portal. I shouldn’t need to access that because I should be receiving invoices if they are requiring payment and receipts for the checks I’ve mailed that I’ve not once ever received. This university is absolutely despicable in the way they handle things and give absolutely no communication other than threatening. I’d almost rather deal with collections, at least I’d know where I stand with them.Business Response

It’s not really a complaint but I received 4 different emails stating that there was an amount posted to my account and created a balance which would be disbursed. I asked my financial advisor and the only explanation he could provide was that my account was charged. I’m confused about this…Business Response

I went to post last year and when it comes to disbursements would only get 531.00 took out loans and was granted all grants. Some would say my money was taken out of my loans and as well of my grants. With that being said I decided to withdrawal my post. Did all the right steps. As I was enrolled in a different school and because if post my student aide would not be posted to my other school.for this term have to pay out of pocket 3500. I would reach out to the staff and no-one would get back to me. I.honestly think they are taking the students finical aid and keeping it.Business Response

Thank you for providing Post University (Post) with the
opportunity to review **** ***** *******’s concerns regarding her Federal
Student Aid (FSA). Ms. ******* stated that she only received $531 from her loan
and grant disbursements. Ms. ******* decided to withdraw and enroll at a new
school and could not receive aid at her new school because her aid was applied
to her account at Post. We reviewed Ms. ********* enrollment, ledger, and
Federal Student Aid disbursements to explain the fund activity.
Ms. ******* first enrolled in Post University beginning June
27, 2022 in the Accelerated Degree Program (ADP). Courses in the ADP Program are offered in
8-week terms and a student is charged course tuition and receives FSA funding
after the start of each term. In Ms.
********* most recent term which began March 6, 2023, she enrolled in 6 credits
and was charged $599 per credit or $3,594 plus $50 for the technology fee
totaling $3,644 in charges. Ms. ******* received a total of $4,175 in FSA
funding which includes Federal Pell and SEOG grants and Direct Loans. We applied
her FSA funds to her charges after which her account reflected a credit of
$531. We issued the credit to Ms.
******* in the form of a stipend.
During the term on April 17, 2023, Ms. ******* officially
withdrew after which the Registrar’s Office notified Ms. ******* by email to
confirm that Post processed her withdrawal in accordance with her request. When Ms. ******* notified Post of her
withdrawal, the University was required to recalculate her eligibility for
funding based on the number of days she attended in the term. As a result of this calculation, the
University was required by federal regulation to return a portion of the aid
she used to pay for her tuition. We
returned $2,525 to the federal government, according to their requirements. This action resulted in Ms. ******* owing a
balance to Post of $2,525. On April 25,
2023, a Financial Solutions Advocate contacted Ms. ******* by email to arrange
a payment for the balance and to offer assistance. On April 26, 2023, the
Student Accounts team sent an email to provide additional contact information
to discuss the account activity and balance options. We do not have record that Ms. *******
responded to these communications.
A member of our Financial Aid team will reach out to Ms.
******* to discuss her questions. If at any time a student has a concern, we
encourage them to refer to our Student Complaints process as published on our
website at ******************************************************************************** This is in place to ensure that students have Post University resources
available to escalate questions and concerns.

Told owe post amount of $431. Unable to continue education and can gather my frustration . No amount was disbursed in April of 2023. The terms and credits told received are inaccurate.Business Response

Thank you for providing Post University (Post) with the
opportunity to review **** ****** concerns regarding her Federal Student Aid
(FSA). Ms. ***** stated that she owes Post $431 and is unable to continue her
education. We reviewed Ms. ******s enrollment, ledger, and Federal Student Aid
disbursements to ensure the accuracy of her funding activity.
Ms. ***** first enrolled in Post University beginning August
29, 2022 in the Accelerated Degree Program (ADP). Courses in the ADP Program are offered in
8-week terms with each payment period comprised of two consecutive 8-week
terms. Students are charged course
tuition and receive FSA funding after the start of each term. Students must be
enrolled at least half-time during the payment period to receive Federal
Student Loans. If a student withdraws or does not complete the scheduled days
in the payment period comprised of two consecutive 8-week terms, Regulatory
Guidelines require schools to recalculate the student’s eligibility for any
funds received during the period.
Ms. ****** most recent payment period spanned January 9,
2023 to April 30, 2023. In the first 8-week term of the payment period, she
enrolled in 3 credits and was charged $599 per credit or $1,797 plus $140 for
the technology and electronic course materials fees totaling $1,937 in charges.
Ms. ***** received a total of $3,213 in FSA funding which includes Federal Pell
grants and Direct Loans. We applied her FSA funds to her charges after which
her account reflected a credit of $1,276.
We issued the credit to Ms. ***** in the form of a stipend on January
27, 2023.
During the second 8-week term of the payment period beginning
March 6, 2023, our records show that Ms. ***** did not participate and as a
result, Post withdrew her from the course. As Ms. ***** did not participate, her ledger
was not charged for her registered course, and we did not disburse any funds
during that term. The University was required
to recalculate her eligibility for funding based on the number of days she
attended in the initial term. As a
result of this calculation, the University was required by federal regulation
to return a portion of the aid she used to pay for her tuition. We returned $431 to the federal government,
according to their requirements. This
action resulted in Ms. ***** owing a balance to Post of $431.
A member of our Financial Aid team will reach out to Ms.
***** to discuss her options to continue. If at any time a student has a
concern, we encourage them to refer to our Student Complaints process as

Thank you for providing Post University (Post) with the
opportunity to respond to ****** ********’s concerns regarding his stipend. Mr.
******** began his most recent term on May 1, 2023. Post disbursed his federal
student aid funds on May 11, 2023. May 11, 2023 is the scheduled date of
disbursement included on Mr. ********’s Direct Loan Disclosure Statement sent
from the U.S. Department of Education dated October 27, 2022. The disbursement
date remained unchanged from the Disclosure Statement.On May 11, 2023, Post applied the funds to Mr. ********’s eligible
tuition and fee charges as scheduled. After Post applied the funds, Mr.
********’s account reflected a credit balance.
Federal Student Aid regulatory guidance states a Title IV credit balances
must be paid to the student or parent within 14 days of the date the credit was
created. Post issued the stipend on May
19, 2023, 8 days after the disbursement, which was well within the regulatory
timeframe. Mr. ******** has received all
of his eligible funds for the current term.If at any time a student has a concern, we encourage them to
