Students of any school do not only have student rights, but they also have consumer rights as consumers of services provided by the school. Consumer rights may be broader than student rights. Know what your rights are, and what actions you can take under each right. If you believe that an institution has ripped you off, or has deceived you, file a complaint with the Attorney General Office of the state where the business is located. But first, file a complaint in “general terms” with the business. Don’t give out too much details to the business about things that you want the Attorney General Office to investigate. This is a very important strategy. If you do, the school will cover up their mistakes, and the Attorney General Office might not find anything wrong with the school’s conduct. In dealings with students, many institutions are not transparent with their students. They feel that students are stupid. They feel that they can kick students around. Don’t let them kick you around, because you are not a ball. You are a person, a human being. Some schools or institutions want to use you as a means to their end. Don’t let them do that to you either. Be aware of your school’s environment. Remember, schools and institutions have years of experience in deceiving their students, one way or another. For example, some schools have teachers that teach. Other schools have professors that facilitate. Know the difference between “teach” and “facilitate”. You want to look for schools that primarily teach, and not facilitate. In dealing with instructors, you must always deal with them with great suspicion. Some of them are stupid. And the reason why the schools employ them is because they have an “impressive” resume, and not because they are smart teachers. A teacher with two master’s degree and two doctorate degrees (PhD) will most likely get the job vs one that has only one Master’s degree. Industry experience is very important. Some teachers have no industry experience, but they teach upper level courses. Be critical of these kinds of teachers. You will learn very little from them. Why? Because their experience is only “book” experience, and not industry experience. Finally, do NOT rush, as many students have made, into enrolling in any college course. Find out first who teaches that class, and what is his or her industry experience. If all what he has is a PhD degree, don’t stop and stare at him. Pass him by, because most likely he is not interested in teaching you anything other than getting his pay-check.

False advertising and intimidating staff. told by school, written in paper work, that arrangement have been made to get you to hospital for testing. No transportation was available leaving student to walk in dark, alone in new area. Excelsior college promotes easy to study from home program for LPN-RN in 18 months. Waiting for cpne test date for all locations is by 8 months on average even on wailist. Classes taken and paid for do not go or transfer to any college. Forcing student to stay in program and continue to pay money. As waiting for test, every year a annual fee will be charged. By the time you wait to test, pass the test and graduation papers it is a year and have to pay that enrollment fee again. | Test rate pass is46% pass rate. Pass rate continues to be 46% for for than 5years. Meaning no change in there implementation.Thus, failing means Requiring the process to restart as students are already invested and unable to tranfer any year worth of classes to any school. School staff/advisors are limited. To get a phone advice call and ask questions Will be on a list for 2 months to get 30 minute conversation with staff. And unable to schedule more than one in advance. Taking additional resources for learning are costly. No mentors/social work available. | Staff is unnecessary intimidatig. Unable to take bathroom break for 3 and half hours unless using own testing time. Testing is emotional/ physical/ finically costly and can cause severe devastation and post trauma to student. Students loose a lot with failure and with no answers only intimidating staff saying you failed you need to leave in a Scolding way. No efforts made for follow up with students to see how they are doing. Comments online have been seen that students want to kill themselves do to the trauma. Noted in other online blogs student loose their jobs their savings thier husbands wifes over the faliure of this test. Complaints made to school have no follow up Or concern for student.

When you go to your office each morning and you find that you have to defend the lies and deception of Jamey Heit, PhD, a faculty member of Excelsior College, and that you are directly and indirectly engaged or involved in the practice of lies and deception; it’s time for you to immediately leave Excelsior College, regardless of your position or salary. You should follow my footsteps, my example. Decades ago I used to work for a Medical Doctor as a Physician Assistant. After I worked there for a day or two, I found out that he has no good ethics. He likes to lie and cheat insurance companies, such as Medicaid, Blue Shield, Blue Cross, and so forth. He requires me to order unnecessary expensive MRI tests on all patients that come to his clinic, regardless of diagnosis. He has a large MRI trailer parked in his rear parking lot with its engine continuously on. He paid me really well for ordering MRI on patients with ear pain, sinus problem, migraine headache, rheumatoid arthritis, knee pain, and even chest pain due to coughing. I told the Medical Doctor that I cannot continue to practice like that, but he insisted that we have to do the MRI tests because we don’t really know what actual problems the patients may have. When I don’t order the MRI tests, he reprimanded me. In the meantime, my conscience continues to bother me. I cannot sleep well at night. The following Monday I did not return to work. I did not call either. No parting words, no goodbyes, nothing. Leave Excelsior College while you still can maintain your good conscience. Pack up you purse, handbag, briefcase, and look for the nearest exit and leave while your conscience is not too far corrupted.

Students spend thousands of dollars trying to obtain an RN degree thru Excelsior College. There are yrly student fees, test fees, books costs, flash cards, dvds, skills bag, workshops, clinicals, airfares, hotels, car rentals… None of it cheap. All of it way, way, way more than a traditional nursing school. CA won”t let Excelsior grads even test for their license. GA/NC also have serious issues with Excelsior. Employers are denying positions to Excelsior grads. People, DO NOT, EVER, EVER give your hard earned money & prescious time to these heartless thieves.
