Complaint: 19968345

I am rejecting this response because:

the issue is still yet to be resolved. Since receiving the response by DeVry i have received two phone calls by Two different student advisor contacting me for updates on my current May session. When asked if i wanted to register for classes after May i brought it to their attention that the outstanding March session has still not been settled yet & so far every other student advisor i have spoken to ** let me know registering would have to be put on hold until it is paid. One of them let me know that it could take approximately 1 month for the payment to reflect. As of right now i am very unhappy with the turmoils DeVry put me trough emotionally, mentally and physically. The issue of the misinformation given to me at the very beginning was also never addressed which has now caused me to potentially not being able to afford the remaining 8 classes.

Sincerely,

***************************
to ask them to send me the funds so I can then pay the funds into my student account.

Re:***************************
File No.: 19968345

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to the April 22, 2023 complaint ******************************* submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). DeVry University (DeVry) understands Ms. ******* concern to be that DeVry did not invoice her employer by the required deadline causing a delay in payment for the March 2023 session. **************** also alleges that DeVry refuses to attempt to rectify this error, instead requiring her to request tuition reimbursement from her employer.

On August 21, 2018, **************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Bachelors in ******************** Systems program starting in the September 2018 session that began on September 3,2018. DeVry records show **************** used Federal Student Aid, institutional aid and tuition assistance to pay tuition and fees during her enrollment.

Beginning in the January 2022 session, **************** began using tuition assistance through her employer,**************. ************** utilizes Guild, a third-party service to manage their tuition assistance program. Part of the process for payment includes the student submitting a signed voucher to DeVry each session that the tuition assistance is being utilized. The voucher includes instructions on how to submit the voucher as well as the deadline for submission.

The March 2023 session began on February 27, 2023. On March 22, 2023, **************** spoke with DeVry regarding her outstanding balance. **************** stated that she completed her paperwork for her March 2023 course through her employer for tuition assistance. On March 30, 2023, *************** spoke with DeVry again regarding her outstanding balance. **************** stated that she emailed her signed voucher to her assigned Student Support Advisor (SSA) on February 13, 2023. That same day, Ms. ******* assigned SSA confirmed that she had received the voucher and provided it to DeVrys billing team. On April 5, 2023, DeVry sent **************** an email stating that the deadline for submitting the March 2023 voucher to Guild had passed. In the email, DeVry informed **************** that she could submit a request to Guild for tuition reimbursement for the March 2023 session and then make a payment to DeVry once she received the reimbursement. **************** called DeVry that same day and the same information was relayed to her. On April 12, 2023, **************** spoke with DeVry and was informed that she was unable to register for any future sessions until her March 2023 tuition charges had been resolved. On April 17, 2023, DeVry sent **************** an email with options for additional funding. On April 21, 2023, **************** contacted DeVry and was told that the tuition reimbursement process was between **************** and her employer and that DeVry could not assist with this process.

DeVry acknowledges that the delay in receiving the voucher was the result of a DeVry error. On May 1, 2023, DeVry contacted Guild and requested to submit an invoice for Ms. ******* March 2023 course. Guild approved this exception. DeVry will invoice Guild for Ms.******* tuition charges for the March 2023 session and **************** will not have to submit a request for tuition reimbursement. DeVry apologizes for any inconvenience that this may have caused *****************

File No.: 19968345

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to ************************* May 15, 2023 reply to DeVry Universitys (DeVry) May 5, 2023 response letter. DeVry understands that **************** is concerned that the billing issue is still unresolved. Additionally, **************** is concerned about her prior complaint regarding being told that her program would take less than 3 years to complete was not addressed.

DeVry submitted the invoice for Ms. ******* March 2023 session to Guild on May 1, 2023. DeVry expects to receive payment from Guild before the end of May. On May 12, 2023, DeVry spoke to **************** regarding registration for the July 2023 session. **************** stated that she wanted to wait until the invoice for the March 2023 session is processed before registering for the July 2023 session.

Pages ***** of DeVrys 2018-2019 academic catalog that was in effect at the time of Ms. ******* enrollment outlines the program details for the ******************** Systems program (Attachment 1).The normal time to complete the program is 4 years, assuming enrollment in ***** credit hours per semester and attending 2 semesters per year. There are many factors that can extend the time it takes to complete a program, including taking fewer credit hours, taking sessions off or having to repeat courses. *************** has repeated 5 courses due to not earning a passing grade. Ms. ******* unofficial transcript is attached (Attachment 2).

**************** is approaching the maximum tuition reimbursement available via Guilds policy of $5,250. *************** is also at her aggregate loan limit and is no longer eligible to borrow Federal Direct Loans. In order to register for the July 2023 session, *************** will need to consider utilizing alternative financing options to pay for her tuition and fees such as a payment plan, private student loan or grants or scholarships. DeVry has reached out to **************** to outline the options for future registration as well as financing options.

DeVry again acknowledges the error that caused the delay in invoicing Guild for Ms. ******* March 2023 course and apologizes for any inconvenience that this may have caused ***************. The error has been resolved and DeVry has sent the invoice and expects payment by the end of May. DeVrys catalog lists an estimated time to complete a program, however, the amount of time can vary based on several factors including transfer credit, amount of credit hours completed each semester,taking sessions or semesters off and repeating courses. **************** is approaching her maximum tuition reimbursement with Guild and will need to determine alternate financing options in order to register for the July 2023 session.

If you should require further information regarding this matter or other DeVry matters, please feel free to reach out to ***********************************

Complaint: 19955965

I am rejecting this response because: I withdraw from Devry and any further involvement with them, because I was dealing with serious family problems. The check when I noticed it was already 90 days passed and since it was only $41.00 credit I didnt bother calling them to reclaim it. Due to all the inconvenience and hassle I just focused on getting my mental health back in order to begin rebuilding my life again. Even returning to a normal routine a work has taken me a while, I am still seeing a therapist and strongly believe Devry is trying to take advantage of a very vulnerable time in my life. Why was I enrolled again after withdrawing? I recall how pushy repeating to me how much I CAN do this or that while I felt at the time as if I was failing apart. I am a one woman army, theres no additional income helping me around here and I support my son with his education, so as much I am trying to understand their reasoning I cant. This was done intentionally and with malicious intent to steal from someone who already is down and is barely making it.

Sincerely,

****************elp. I do not owe this institution anything and thanks to their unethical practices whenever I decide to return to school it will not be here.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to the April 19, 2023 complaint *********************************** submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). DeVry University (DeVry) understands Ms. ********* concern to be that she has an outstanding balance for classes taken during the 2021/2022 school year, but she was not enrolled DeVry during that time.

On April 27, 2020, ******************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Bachelors in Management program starting in the May 2020 session that began on May 4, 2020. DeVry records show ******************* used Federal Student Aid and institutional aid to pay tuition and fees during her enrollment.

******************** remained enrolled from the May 2020 session until the July 2020 session and then resumed enrollment for the November 2020 session and January 2021 session that began on October 26, 2020 and January 4, 2021 respectively. This period of enrollment occurred during the 2020/2021 school year. On January 11, 2021, ******************** called DeVry requesting to withdraw from the January 2021 session. Ms. ********* withdrawal was processed on January 12, 2021 with January 6, 2021 as her last date of attendance (LDA). Page ******* of DeVrys 2020-21 academic catalog that was in effect at the time of Ms. ********* withdrawal outlines DeVrys refund policy (Attachment 1).

Based on Ms. ********* LDA, she was responsible for 10% of her January 2021 tuition as her LDA occurred during Week 1 of the session. ******************** had a remaining balance of $299.15 for the January 2021 session. This was in addition to the outstanding balance of $1,295 for the November 2020 session. The $41 difference between her November 2020 and January 2021 session balances ($1,594.15) and current account balance (************ stemming from a $41 credit balance check that was issued to ******************** on June 5, 2020. The check was never cashed and subsequently voided. The check was reapplied to a balance ******************** incurred after the check was issued. ******************* did not attend DeVry after the January ******************************************************************* ********* account since the January 2021 session.

On December 2, 2021, Ms.********* outstanding balance of $1,553.15 was transferred to ********** Systems for collections due to a lack of payment. This balance was incurred while ******************** was enrolled at DeVry. ******************** was not enrolled at DeVry during 2021-2022 school year. Ms. ********* ledger is attached for review (Attachment 2). Ms. ******** can contact ********** Systems for assistance with paying this debt at ************.

Complaint: 19929321

I am rejecting this response because:
On November 8th, DeVry reached out to me regarding a course that was no longer offered and informed me of the substitute course. I agreed to register for that course. This was regarding one particular course, not many, as stated in the previous response. On March 6th, I reached out to DeVry because I had tried to register for my ***************** courses and was not able to do so. At this time I was informed that my major stopped being offered and that my classes had been replaced with web design classes. ********** is not equivalent to Multimedia and *************** I enrolled at DeVry with the intent on competing my bachelors degree and I was well on my way down a successful path. I did discuss switching to a certificate program in **********, since I had completed most of the required classes for that program. However, that is not what I truly want. I never had any desire or interest in pursuing **********, therefore, it was not in my best interest to pursue this certificate. DeVry also does not offer any other Bachelor degree programs that align with my interest or that my courses would transfer over too. Starting a new program a DeVry would consist of me starting back from the beginning and that is just not fair. At this time, DeVry has only expressed interest in me registering for classes and continuing to pay them instead of trying to rectify this issue.
"When changes to a program or curriculum are made, DeVry notifies applicants whose enrollment will be impacted by the change. Since ****************** was already enrolled in the program and had the ability to complete it, she was not notified of the change. DeVry offered ****************** alternate courses that could be applied to her degree when the courses she requested were no longer being offered. DeVry also discussed an alternative program with courses that aligned with the skillset ****************** was trying to obtain."
In regard to the above statement made by DeVry. I was never notified of a program change and I was directly impacted by it. I did not have the ability to complete the program because the proper courses were no longer being offered. I was offered alternate courses that did not align with the degree that I was pursuing. DeVry expected to me to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia and ************** by taking classes under **********. How would I pursue the career I wanted without the proper training and education? Why should I continue with a school whom obviously, does not care about my education?
Sincerely,

*************************
atter. I was looking forward to obtaining my bachelors degree in a field that I am very excited to work in. I feel that my time and money has been wasted and the lack of responsibility that DeVry has shown in this matter is unacceptable. I have completed 14 classes with DeVry and maintained an excellent GPA. As a student at DeVry, I feel this university has failed me, I think the school should take accountability for failing to notify students of these program changes. No one, as far as a Director or ****, has reached out to me to discuss this matter. I think I should be reimbursed and/or compensated for courses taken towards this program that is, sadly, no longer offered.

Re:*************************
File No.: 19929321

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to the April 12, 2023 complaint ***************************** submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). DeVry University (DeVry) understands ****************** is concerned that the program that she originally enrolled in is no longer being offered, the courses that she is enrolled in do not apply to her curriculum, and DeVry did not inform her about the program change. Additionally, ****************** is concerned about the tuition charges she incurred when withdrawing from the program.

On April 12, 2021, ****************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Bachelors in ***************** and Development program starting in the May 2021 session that began on May 3, 2021. DeVry records show that ****************** utilized Federal Student Aid and institutional aid to pay for her tuition and fees.

DeVry routinely reviews its degree programs and curriculum options. DeVry made a decision to no longer offer the Bachelors in ***************** and Development program to new applicants beginning in the May 2022 session. When a program is discontinued, new applicants are not eligible to enroll in the program, but students currently enrolled in that program may continue and complete that program. When a course is no longer offered, a course equivalent replaces the course to allow students to still meet the intended program outcomes. On November 7, 2022, ****************** called DeVry because the GMD310 and GMD341 courses she was trying to self-register for in the March 2023 and May 2023 session were not available. The Student Support Advisor (***) speaking with ****************** offered to inquire on when the courses would be offered and then follow back up with her. On November 8, 2022, the *** called ****************** and informed her that the courses she wanted to take were no longer being offered and suggested that she register for substitute courses.****************** agreed to register for the suggested courses. The *** also informed ****************** that her degree plan had been updated with the new course offerings.

On March 6, 2023, ****************** spoke with DeVry and expressed concerns on the courses that she was registered for and whether they would provide her with the skills that she was looking to obtain. The *** contacted a **** on the students behalf in order to address her concerns. On March 8, 2023, before an update from the **** was received, ****************** spoke with DeVry requesting to withdraw from her March 2023 session courses. DeVry explained the impact of a withdrawal on ******************** financial aid award. DeVry also discussed with ****************** the option to change her program to an Undergraduate Certificate in ************** and that the change could be effective in the May 2023 session. ****************** did not switch programs and her withdrawal request was processed on March 13, 2023. Between March 13, 2023 and March 28, 2023, DeVry spoke with ****************** six times regarding a possible program change as well as an updated transcript evaluation for the new program.Ultimately, ****************** decided to withdraw from DeVry completely and obtain her selected degree elsewhere.

When changes to a program or curriculum are made, DeVry notifies applicants whose enrollment will be impacted by the change. Since ****************** was already enrolled in the program and had the ability to complete it, she was not notified of the change. DeVry offered ****************** alternate courses that could be applied to her degree when the courses she requested were no longer being offered. DeVry also discussed an alternative program with courses that aligned with the skillset ****************** was trying to obtain.

DeVry has not taken accountability in this matter. In my initial complaint, I stated that I should be compensated or reimbursed for course taken with DeVry. I have accrued over $30,000 in student loan debt with no degree. Their only response is to stop communications regarding registration.

Complaint: 19926828

I am rejecting this response because:
1- I knew about the e-books but I chose to have the physical books and when I was told that I could order them as soon as they were available, I did so. That was false information from Devry staff who told me students only have access to order books a week ahead. I called the actual bookstore after I didn't receive my books on time and had to skip an entire semester and their staff said that students can order books a month in advance. This was never previously stated to me, so I was very surprised and upset that I had to put my education on hold for 2 months. Also, the **** told me that I could still start class without my books, which is absolutely outrageous because at the end of every semester our professors would continuously remind ** to have our books starting day 1 of class. They blamed the book delay on the 4th of July weekend. Physical books work better for my learning and are an option offered by Devry and it's their responsibility to inform their students as soon as possible on how to order the books that are needed for class and get the books to them in a timely manner.
2-In regard to the picture I submitted, *************** knew what code she was giving me and what it was for. She knew I was a student then and would be a graduate now, but still gave me a code for a student membership, which I later found out from *****************************, that the code was only eligible for a student membership and not a professional membership because I've now graduated. She said that it would work but it didn't. I called her back to tell her that the code didn't work. She told me to call ***** to tell them that it didn't work because it should. I called her back after I called AHIMA, but she never answered or returned my call. *** told me I could get reimbursed for the membership I had already paid for by receiving another year of membership at no cost.
3- In regard to the test, I know who to call regarding testing problems, which is exactly what I did, but as a student who paid over $11,000 for their school tuition and committed an entire year to their AHIMA-based curriculum, Devry should help their students be successful after graduation with help regarding the exam, that they facilitated, if it's needed because of any extenuating circumstances that *** happen in the process. DeVry should provide a contact for their students in the event that something like this occurs and not just want the data of who all passed the exam for Devry's purposes and statistics because they require you to report your exam results within a week after completing the exam. They base their curriculum on AHIMA principals, rules and regulations but no one at Devry has a connection or contact for AHIMA? Any university that is quality would ensure that their students have support just in case extraordinary events take place. DeVry telling me that they have nothing to do with the exam process after a student graduates is garbage because not only do they want results from your exam, they also provide help in a student's job search after they graduate and they were the organization who not only educated me based on AHIMA principals but also set me up with how to take the Certified Coding Specialist exam itself and to say they're done after all of this went through them initially is absolutely ridiculous, lazy and irresponsible.

Sincerely,

*******************************
iate this as I have paid my tuition on time for 11 months an have had so many horrible experiences with devry. As a student I would not recommend this school for anyone. Lack of accountability and lack of ************ has left this bad taste in my mind. I would like someone to call me back about the matter regarding my exam as they owe me that much.

On April 3, 2021, ******************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Medical Billing and Coding Undergraduate Certificate program starting in the May 2021 session that began on May 3, 2021. DeVry records show that ******************** utilized cash and institutional aid to pay for her tuition and fees.

Most DeVry courses require electronic textbooks (eBooks) and certain eBooks may available in a black and white, soft-covered printed version at an additional cost to students preferring a physical copy of the eBooks in lieu of the electronic version. As the printed version of an eBook is optional, the eBooks are not printed until a printed version is purchased. ******************** was enrolled in two courses for the July 2022 session, that began on July 4, 2022, HIT211 and HIT220. HIT211 required a physical textbook in addition to the eBook. HIT220 required an eBook.Both courses offered printed versions of the eBooks for purchase. Students can preview their class and order their textbooks and print-on-demand eBooks two weeks before the start of class.

On June 27, 2022, ******************** ordered her HIT211 textbook and print-on-demand eBooks for her HIT211 and HIT220 courses. The verbiage in the virtual bookstore states Please note: It is possible this Printed eBook may take up to 22 business days to be processed. This does not include shipping time. Expedited shipping options do not speed up process time. Please utilize your eBook until your Printed eBook arrives (Attachment 1). On July 5, 2022,******************** contacted DeVry because she had not received her physical textbooks or printed eBooks for her courses and felt she was falling behind. DeVry checked the tracking number on Ms. ********* order and explained that she should receive both the physical textbook and printed eBooks for both classes on July 7, 2022 but that she had access to the eBook for her HIT220 course. ******************* explained that she could not utilize the eBook because reading on the computer for too long caused her headaches. ******************** expressed that she may consider withdrawing from her July 2022 courses if she did not receive her books sooner. Later that day, ******************** called DeVry again and requested to withdraw from her July 2022 courses. DeVry explained that this would cause ******************* to not complete her program until 2023. ******************** stated she understood. Ms. ********* drop request was processed on July 8, 2022.

After dropping from the July 2022 session, ******************** continued her enrollment with the September 2022 session and remained enrolled through the January 2023 session, which was her last session. The January 2023 session began on January 2, 2023 and on February 3,2023, ******************** called DeVry with a concern about an error in one of the virtual systems used in her HIT260 course, PlayPosit. ******************** stated this error was making it difficult to learn the work. DeVry spoke with a faculty manager of the course and informed ******************** that the error had been reported and that the instructor will provide an alternative to PlayPosit for the next week.******************** expressed that she was satisfied with that resolution. ******************* successfully completed her program on February 26, 2023.

On April 5, 2023, ******************** called DeVry regarding her ******** Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) certification exam. This certification exam is administered by AHIMA and not by DeVry. ******************** explained that she was only given 3 hours and 43 minutes on the exam, rather than the full 4 hours and did not pass. ******************* was advised that she needed to contact ***** for assistance. ******************* stated that she did inform ***** as well. On April 11, 2023, ******************* called DeVry and stated she has not received a response from AHIMA yet. She also stated that the code DeVry provided for a discounted AHIMA student membership was not working. ******************** asked if a DeVry manager that she had worked with previously, *****************************, could contact her back. ****************** called ******************** back on April 12, 2023 and explained that she needed to escalate the issue with her exam through ***** and ******* Vue, the administrators of the exam. After the call, ****************** sent ******************** a follow ** email with an announcement posted in Ms. ********* virtual classroom regarding the membership code (Attachment 2). The announcement states that the student membership must be activated prior to registering for the certification exam or the student will not be eligible for student membership. Because ******************** has already registered and taken a certification exam, she is no longer eligible for this discounted student membership.

******************** had the ability to utilize her eBooks for her HIT211 and HIT220 courses in July ************************************************************************************************************************************* ********* concern with the instructor of her HIT260 course was resolved and ******************** successfully completed her program. DeVry is unable to assist ******************** with the issue on her AHIMA certification exam because DeVry is not the administrator of that exam. ******************* was advised to escalate to AHIMA for assistance.

If you should require further information regarding this matter or other DeVry matters, please feel free to reach out to ***********************************

File No.: 19926828

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to Ms.************************ April 28, 2023 reply to DeVry Universitys (DeVry) April 26,2023 response letter. DeVry understands that ******************** provided additional concerns regarding her textbooks as well as her ******** Health Information Management Association (*****) membership and exam.

The DeVry bookstore opens for ordering one month prior to the start of a session, allowing students the option to order physical textbooks or printed eBooks, if they choose. DeVrys online courses are available for previewing two weeks before the start of a class. During this preview period, students can review the syllabus and access their eBooks. DeVry is unable to locate records of ******************** being informed that books can only be ordered one week prior to the start of class. The standard delivery time for physical textbooks is **** business days after placing an order. ******************** received her physical textbooks and printed eBooks seven (7) business days after she placed her order.

******************** has been provided the code for a free ***** student membership multiple times by DeVry. Unfortunately,******************** is not eligible to use this code as she previously purchased an ***** membership on her own and has paid for and taken an exam.

DeVry includes *****s Certified Coding Associate and Certified Coding Specialist certification exam prep in DeVrys Medical Billing and Coding Certificate programs. However, the certification exams themselves are administered by ***** and not DeVry.Unfortunately, DeVry is unable to assist ******************** with her issue with her exam time. That issue must be resolved by *****. DeVry does not administer the exam and is unable to assist with this issue.

DeVry apologizes for any misunderstanding ******************** has had on the timing of ordering books or the ***** membership and any inconvenience that this may have caused. ******************** should continue to reach out to her last point of contact with ***** on her concern with the time on her exam.

Complaint: 19926828

I am rejecting this response because: I want the facts of my experience with DeVry noted on the BBB website for all to see and for people to know the truth about what they are getting into and have the chance to evaluate if they want to attend such a shabby university. I know if I saw an experience such as mine, I wouldn't want to pay over $11,000 out of pocket for what I got. So, to set the record straight, I paid all cash for my tuition and books, etc and didn't receive "institutional aid." The university stating to me that I "should" be receiving my books on a certain date didn't hold any value to me because I didn't receive them when I "should" have received them and the **** tried to convince me that I didn't even need them to start class to begin with which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as you can't even complete coursework without them and they stress to you at the end of every semester how important it is to have your books starting day 1 of class, which is common sense. They just wanted their tuition for the semester like every other salesman. Again, even if I used the eBooks provided, I still needed the other physical book. I called *************** and asked if I could be reimbursed because I had already taken the liberty of becoming a member of ***** on my own since my instructors kept harping about getting the membership and how useful it would be. Then, DeVry offered it much later, which is what prompted me to ask for reimbursement. *************** gave me the code and said that the membership would be covered for the following year, knowing that I'd be graduating and would not be a student anymore (see picture of text from *************** attached earlier in the complaint). These people try to twist words around and explain things away, but that's why I want this all posted, to let people see the information and make their own decision on what to believe. DeVry wasn't cheap and they were selfish and a nuisance. Also, just because DeVry "doesn't have anything to do with AHIMA after you graduate" doesn't make it right at all, by any means. I contacted ******* Vue and ***** about my issue with the exam time and they weren't getting back to me. That's why I figured that DeVry would be able to help me out with contact information, nothing more or less, but I was sorely mistaken. After all, they set up the exam. What that means to me is that once they have all of your tuition and fees collected you mean nothing to them anymore because they got what they wanted out of you. It's absolutely absurd that they facilitate the test and have no contact information if something goes awry, which it did. I'm so sure that everything's totally perfect in DeVry's world, but if it's not they don't care anyway. Great way to back up and support your students DeVry. No accountability whatsoever! Lastly, 1 response says I can order books 2 weeks ahead and another response from DeVry says I can order them a month ahead. I guess they can't get their lies straight and they wouldn't have a record of whomever told me about when I could order my books ahead of time because *****, the gentleman who signed me up with DeVry, told me on a phone call that they supposedly record for quality assurance so go and review those recorded phone calls DeVry, you'll find it. You need to work on your quality assurance too! They don't even know that they paid for and covered my exam fees because I got an A in that class. That's how much they don't care about their students, they can't even take the time out to check the facts out. They just have some random person responding to my complaint, obviously. They also don't even know when I signed up for the program, which was in November of 2021, not April or May as stated by DeVry. Let consumers see what kind of university DeVry is on the BBB website. I would want to see a statement like this before committing a year of my time (even with transfer credits) and to a substantial expense for a place that treats its students in this kind of manner.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to the March 11, 2023 complaint ********************************* submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). DeVry University (DeVry) understands that ******************** is concerned that she has not received her $1,500 refund.

On October 5, 2022, ******************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Bachelors in Information Technology & Networking program starting in the November 2022 session that began on October 24, 2022.

On March 4, 2023, ********************* Federal Pell ***** for the March 2023 session disbursed in the amount of $862.

File No.: 19561057

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to the March 9, 2023 complaint *************************** submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). DeVry University (DeVry) understands **************** is concerned with how her DeVry account is reflected on her credit report.

On October 24, 2013, **************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Bachelors in *********************** program starting in the November 2013 session that began on October 28, 2013. DeVry records show that **************** utilized Federal Student Aid to pay for her tuition and fees.

**************** deferred her start date to the January 2014 session. As part of **************** financial award package,she received a Federal ******* Loan in the amount of $300. **************** withdrew from her January 2014 courses on February 24, 2014 due to non-attendance. $180 of **************** Federal ******* Loan was returned as a result of her withdrawal,leaving **************** with a balance owed of $120.

DeVry utilizes University ****************** (UAS) as its Federal ******* Loan servicer. After *************** withdrawal, UAS began sending communications to **************** including information on her grace ****** as well as past due notices. From April 30,2014 to March 14, 2015, UAS sent **************** 7 notification letters as well as monthly billing statements from December 2014 through February 2015 but received no payment. After UAS was unable to collect from ****************, her account was placed with several 3rd party collection agencies but *************** balance remained outstanding. On February 14, 2019, **************** account was placed with 3rd party collection agency ************************** Corporation. **************** paid off the loan balance of $230.37 in full through ************************** Corporation on July 23, 2019. The final reporting on the loan was on August 1, 2019, which reflected that the loan was paid in full.

The information in **************** credit report accurately reflects that the account has a $0 balance and was paid in full/formerly in collections.

I am rejecting this response because: This response is a lie. I'm both shocked and appalled that DeVry University would lie to the better business bureau and me. As stated in my first complaint, I withdrew from all my courses on the FIRST DAY OF CLASS. I made one discussion post before discovering something was wrong with my taxes. This post was NOT GRADED, and I RECEIVED NO RESPONSE FROM ANY PROFESSORS. Again I DID NOT complete any course or BENEFIT FROM any LECTURES. So WHY I'm receiving a bill? Their receipts show that I was online briefly before letting the appropriate advisor know I would withdraw from the school. Why would you lie but then show proof that I'm telling the truth? Make it make sense.

I will contact a lawyer and *** State Comptroller about this because it's Fraud and a crime to charge someone for a service you did not provide.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to the February 21, 2023 complaint ***************************** submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). DeVry University (DeVry) understands Ms. ****** concern to be that DeVry charged her $160 even though she withdrew prior to attending classes.

On December 19, 2022, ************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Medical Billing & Coding Undergraduate Certificate program starting in the January 2023 session that began on January 2, 2023.

On January 2, 2023, ************** completed an academic event in both of her courses (Attachment 1). On January 3, 2023,************** contacted DeVry and requested to withdraw from both courses as she needed to correct a tax issue before being financially cleared.

Ms. ****** withdrawal request was processed on January 4, 2023.

************** was charged tuition of $449,as well as $240 in non-refundable fees which included her e-books, Course Resource fees, and a ******* Services fee.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to ************************ March 7, 2023 reply to DeVry Universitys (DeVry) March 2, 2023 response letter. DeVry understands ************** provided an additional statement that she received no grade or benefit from the courses so she should not be responsible for a bill.

DeVry records engagement and attendance in online classes based on the completion of academic events throughout the session. DeVrys academic engagement policy is outlined in pages ******* of DeVrys 2022-2023 academic catalog (Attachment 1). As ************** states in her March 7, 2023 reply, she completed a discussion post in the course. According to the policies provided, participation in a discussion post is considered an academic event. Academic events are used to determine academic engagement in a course, which in turn is used to determine a students last date of attendance (LDA).

Pages 284 285 of DeVrys 2022-2023 academic catalog (Attachment 2) outlines DeVrys tuition refund policy. Refunds are calculated according to the last documented date of attendance. Ms. ****** LDA was January 2, 2023, which was during Week 1 of the January 2023 session, entitling ************** to a 90% refund of tuition.

Based on DeVrys policies and Ms. ****** LDA, the tuition and fees that remain on her student account are accurate. ************** was awarded a New Year Ambition ***** which was applied to her tuition balance, leaving ************** with a remaining balance of $240 due to the non-refundable fees which included her e-books, Course Resource fees and a ******* Services fee.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is in response to the December 27, 2022 complaint ********************************* submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). DeVry University (DeVry) understands that ******************** is concerned that she was approved for an advanced credit and informed she would receive it in five (5) business days, but has not yet received it.

On October 5, 2022, ******************** signed an enrollment agreement for the Bachelors in Information Technology & Networking program starting in the November 2022 session that began on October 24, 2022.

On December 15, 2022, ******************** spoke with DeVry and stated that her laptop had been stolen and that she needed to purchase a new one before her January 2023 session courses began. DeVry offers an option for students with extenuating circumstances to request an advance on their expected credit balance for the session that they are enrolled in. DeVry explained this option to ********************, and she completed the Advanced Credit Request Form on December 16, 2022. That same day, DeVry emailed ******************** to notify her that her Advanced Credit request had been approved and sent for processing.

On December 16, 2022, ********************** request was sent for processing by a Student Support Advisor (***). That same day, the *** was notified that Advanced Credit requests were processed during Week 1 of the January 2023 session and that the request needed to be resubmitted during this time.
On December 19, 2022, ******************** contacted DeVry via phone and chat asking the status of her Advanced Credit.DeVry explained to ******************** that her request could not be processed until Week 1 of the January 2023 session. ******************** stated that her advisor lied to her and told her she would receive her Advanced Credit in 5 days. DeVry records indicate that ******************** was misadvised of the timeline for processing and receiving the Advanced Credit.

On December 27, 2022, DeVry spoke with ******************** and apologized for the misunderstanding with the timeframe. ******************* indicated that she no longer wanted to utilize the Advanced Credit option and would wait to receive her credit balance in the January 2023 session. ******************** stated that she would borrow a computer from a friend and return it once she receives her credit balance.

DeVry acknowledges that ******************** received inaccurate information regarding the Advanced Credit process and apologizes for any inconvenience that this has caused her.
