      This company is pestering me to sign up for what I believe is a scam degree. I never expressed any desire to join and blocking their numbers only gets them to call on another line.

      This college calls me repeatedly every day( including weekends), multiple times a day. Each phone call is from a different phone number and they will not take me off the call list! This feels like harassment at this point.

      Consistent phone calls, I never signed up for anything with them. Different number every time, answering and telling them to stop calling doesn't work and neither does blocking. It just hangs up after answering and it's extremely irritating.

      I have been a student of AIU for a few years earning both my Associate and Bachelor degree! I decided to continue with AIU after my bachelors degree on November 2, 2022. This incident just happened today. Today is my fifth week and my assignments were due on 28 March by 12 AM I completed my assignments and uploaded my week five project. However, I didnt know that the project hadnt submitted to the instructor it was only uploaded to the system. I noticed that once my final grades came in that I received an F and I clicked onto see the reason why, to discover that my week five project had not been submitted. So I opened my laptop and luckily the web browser was still on my uploaded assignment. I took pictures and sent them to my Instructor, my Advisor and I also contacted technical support, in which they advised me to click the submit button to submit the assignment. I successfully sent the assignment, however, the school is refusing to work with me. They see the assignment in the system, however they are refusing to allow the instructor to grade it which means I fail the class. I am a straight A&B student and I really believe that I could rely on a AIU. I see now that I cant and that they are indeed a for-profit school through all my time at AIU they have been knowing that I am in *********** so many times my connections are bad however, with this recent incident I have been battling with malaria typhoid for almost a year with now, being the worse, I believe that, after uploading my assignment, I fell asleep due to taking multiple medications for the malaria typhoid, as well as to manage the pain! my concern is that the academic advisor report made a decision to not assist me, knowing that I had uploaded the assignment at exactly 10:54 PM and the assignment wasnt due until 12 AM! it was all a matter of clicking one button, and AIU FAILED ME! I am very heartbroken as I struggle with trying to get my assignments complete in the health state Im in.
