      Keisers tuition is so high they force you take out federal loans, Pell ****** and private loans. While in school they bought my private loans at 16% APR on $24,000. They refuse to let you defer it or forebarence or do a payment plan even with full time student status. Many financial advisors told me to let it go to collections because the APR is so high Id pay well over $100k by the time I paid it off. Im a first gen ********************** student teen mom. I feel like they target people based on their low economic status and being naive. Ive tried to work with Keiser many times. I dont even know whos my lender. Ive never seen a contract or was notified of when they bought them from **************. Keiser will ignore and not return any of my calls. I have tried to contact *********** ***** many times at their main campus for assistance and he never answers or calls back. Now I am in grad school becoming a doctor and I wont be able to use the grad plus loans to support my daughter and I, forcing me to go part time and work full time extending my length at school by years and destroying my credit in the future so I wont be able to buy a house or just support my daughter

      In 2023 I left Keiser university, aware I would have student loans to pay. Due to financial hardships I admittedly got behind on my payments, and struggled getting everything back on track. The payments are current now. I have followed every lead from every email I can to be sure I am paying my intended debt correctly. I am now showing an account with them open on my credit of a different amount than what I have been paying stating its on collections. While I do have other debts I am paying off I have none attached to Keiser that are behind that I can locate. I am heavily questioning the integrity of these charges as they are not showing attached to any reputable student loan agency, and Keisers handler isnt showing them either.

      Prior to me entering this school, I had visited the financial advisor office in the lakeland location. After discussing, we came to a conclusion that my total tuition after pre-requisites and my program would be around ****** dollars. After enrolling and completing the pre-requisites and program, the end sum of my parent plus student loans and my student loans equaled a grand total of around ****** dollars. I have called multiple times trying to get an explanation with little to no success. This has caused unexpected emotional wear on my parents and I. The reason it had been a year is because we have been thinking about ways to fight this and even considering a lawyer.

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the above referenced complaint filed by ****** *******. Mr. ******* alleges that upon meeting with the financial advisor at the ***************, he and his parents concluded that his total tuition for the program (Associate of Science in Radiologic Technology)would be around $30,000 dollars. Mr. ******* attended Keiser University (KU)from ********* before graduating from the program. During Mr. ******** enrollment at *********** he signed a Tuition and Fee Disclosure (per semester)thereby acknowledging the tuition costs per semester (Please see attached),which totaled approximately $52,000 dollars (excluding textbooks, student kits or any other assessed fees). Also, Mr. ******* was dropped from the program in August of 2021 due to academic suspension; he then reenrolled in February of 2022, incurring withdrawal and reentry fees. I have also attached a copy of Mr.******** Ledger Card providing the breakdown of charges.

      I checked out the school in November to see if it would be a good fit for continuing education. The school rushed me into classes, stating that the classes started in 3 days. Since I had no funds for school, I reviewed potential loan options. Upon reviewing the possible loan options and costs associated, I decided I did not want to pursue any education and did not want any charges from the school. The schools practices seemed like it would be a poor fit. While in their office, they clicked through various financial documents themselves without giving me opportunity to review or a copy to review on my own. I communicated with them to let them know my plan to not take classes with the school. I have not paid any money and did not agree to any final charges or loans. The school wants to collect over $3000. from me. I contacted school to resolve and explain to them that I did not want to be charged or to take classes and that I felt pressured or forced quickly and pressured to try to force me to take loans I did not want. I believe the school pressured me into courses to try to charge me money quickly and now wants to collect. The school reached out to try to get me to enroll again and also to try to get money. I would simply like the school to correct the balance to $0 owed and $0 refund and to not be contacted again by them.

      Complaint: 23110804

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The school **** called me yesterday to discuss my concerns. I feel he understood my concerns on the phone that I was misled in the full costs and the program and that I did not understand the full cost needed at their school which is ****** approximately ever 4 weeks, and that I had been reviewing the cost the first 3 or so weeks after I originally met them in November. I did not originally meet with them for the program they are charging me for, and I only popped into it because I was led to believe that I would lose a spot and have to wait even longer if I did not join. Upon understanding the possible costs and reviewing all details given to me, I immediately realized this was not what I expected or was led to believe initially and then did not want to proceed in any way. I still do not know what full cost would be here, but I can only imagine ****** every 4 weeks is astronomical. And I did not even want this class, I wanted Radiology (which was/is full?) and this was something different and truly not needed.

      I believe based on the conversation that they are looking to remove the charges they assessed given the circumstances. If they can confirm that they are willing to remove the added charges of $3000 that they assessed to me and wanted to bill, then I think the solution will be good, and we can all move forward with nothing further needed in resolution. Thank you.

      Complaint: 23110804

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I am not understanding Keiser's position or difficulty on my request to not be charged by their school. I understood yesterday that they were looking into everything and at least understood me, but maybe not.

      I will explain again. The school rushed me into joining while I was in their office. I expressed financial concerns then, and they brought a second ****** in to make me feel as though if I did not join that I would lose the opportunity for potentially a year for a completely different program (Radiology). I had a newborn infant with me due to ongoing childcare needs that I have, and I felt very stressed and rushed in the process but was reassured that I could review my options and loans. Since I had not yet paid any money to them, I believed I was fine and still determining the costs. I only joined the school to review my options and the costs, and upon realizing the potential ongoing costs of 12k per every 4 weeks, I realized this is absolute insanity, and not what I signed up for or approached them for. No one ever explained it was potentially 12k every 4 weeks or even how many semesters are needed at that rate to obtain radiology degree. If it was explained, I never would agree to that because I clearly cannot afford that, that is a huge disservice to me as a single mother raising a family, looking to further my income and education, not get destroyed with 12k per month. I discovered the misunderstanding on the potential long-term costs for the school, as I was reviewing a potential loan option, which I did not get a loan either based on all this information. The reason I decided to disengage Keiser is entirely based on discovering the potential costs, and also feeling like their program is not what I signed up for or expected. If needed, I will attach more documentation of the school this month mis-stating that I signed a loan doc and a TIL doc and accepted a loan, and my email from last year stating I did not accept a loan- email provided from the loan originator. 

      I feel like this is a huge money grab on behalf of Keiser, a school said to be students first- this is a far cry from student first. If Keiser cared about me or students in any way, someone would have explained to me the full number of courses needed, the amount of time to take to get a degree, what degree I was obtaining, anything to assist me in making a sound financial decision. Instead, Keiser asked me to log into their system within mere days of meeting, told me it needed to be multiple times to prevent me flunking from the course or losing the course credit, and now that I understand their system, their don't even hold true to their refund policy. A refund policy would be that I receive a refund of funds I paid to them, which was my understanding. Instead, I have not paid anything because I did not want to pay this type of money, and they want to charge a difference of the balance to me after the fact, which is not a "refund" at all. It is incredibly, incredibly, misleading to make someone believe the policy is a REFUND and not a charge of the difference. 

      I would like to know what we can do to resolve this and if Keiser can please be reasonable and please remove the charge so that this is not ongoing. It is causing me an incredible amount to stress to also feel like they have told me when discussing it with them that they will possibly send me to collections if it is not paid to them, which is another reason I really want nothing more to do with them and would like to move on amicably. I do not believe Keiser needs this money from me, I do not believe Keiser has provided me value, I feel misled by Keiser, and I also have nothing to give them anyways. I offered to try to pay their withdrawal fee which I think is $100 and that is on top of nearly $250 I think I already paid them originally.

      Please let me know if we can remove the charges that I did not have full knowledge of, did not accept a loan for, and pay an additional withdrawal fee if needed, and move on. 


      Sincerely,

      ****** ******

      Highly disappointed with this school. I went here because I thought it would be better and faster than the other schools. I paid off all my classes and decided to not continue at this school summer of 2024. I am now getting billed by keiser for I believe classes they continued to enroll me into when I specifically told them I will not be attending this school anymore. They have made fraudulent charges for $926.29, again I wouldnt have been able to take any of my classes if they werent paid for which was through my own bank and through my Pell ******

      For two weeks i have been trying to get to speak to anyone other than a receptionist to request a non-enrollment verification letter. I have called over 200 times and not once been able to speak to anyone from any department or even receive a reply. I have left over 20 voicemails. I have been hung up on 78 times. I have been transferred between almost every department. And absolutely nobody seems to know how to answer a phone. This is extremely unethical and unprofessional. This schools administration treats people like dirt and doesnt seem to care once they have a job. Disgusting excuse for a university. This school needs to have better standards or shut down because this is absolutely disrespectful and unprofessional

      Good Afternoon,

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the concerns of ****** ******.  Please be advised that our ************************************* reached out to Mr. ****** regarding his concerns. Mr. ****** advised that he applied at ************************************, where he listed Keiser University as a previous school he attended. Ms. ******** from *****-Dade advised Mr. ****** that he needed to provide a transcript. Our *** ***** advised Mr. ****** that he can access the Parchment website (*************) to request any transcripts. Mr. ****** asked the department to contact Ms. ******** to verify if the information from Parchment would be suffice. The SFS ***** did speak with Ms. ******** at ********** and has attempted to follow up with Mr. ****** several times (left message on voicemail to return call); Still no response. Mr. ****** is welcome to contact our office with any additional questions or concerns.

      Thank you,

      Good Morning,

      Thank you for the opportunity
      to respond to the concerns of Chris Borton.  As you may be aware, the
      Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g: 34
      CFR Part 99) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education
      records.  The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an
      applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.  As such, based on
      federal law, we are unable to provide you with specific information regarding
      our students (current and former) absent the receipt of a signed FERPA consent
      form.  I have attached such form that would need to be completed by the
      student.

      We would be happy to discuss this matter with you once we have a signed FERPA
      consent form.  Or, Mr. Borton may contact the campus personally to discuss
      this matter with the school.  We look forward to a positive resolution of
