"Jackson Sauver is the worst advisor you could possibly get as a returning student. Never answers the phone or responds to emails. I was supposed to have a start date in October but couldn’t because I missed the deadline because he never answered the phone. I finally got ahold of him surprisingly and literally had EVERYTHING done on my part to start in November however because he set me up for the wrong degree plan my TA voucher didn’t get submitted til the day after the deadline and of course now I can’t start. This was the worst experience I have ever had trying to get in to school. I will definitely not be returning and if you are military especially I recommend going somewhere else. They obviously do not care. “we tried all that we could” said JSauver. I call bill considering it was everyone else that I would pick up the phone to try to help the situation besides you. Terrible."
"No stars would be more accurate. The curriculum is trash, most info (and better info) can be found on youtube, and the coursework is just writing papers the entire time. You only get student work opportunities if you are an honor student, which is unfair. I am now $40,000 in debt and can’t get a job anywhere. Nobody cares about the degree. It’s a joke! I applied for a HOUSEKEEPING job and was rejected. Only have gotten rejections from prospective employers since i graduated in May 2022. The only job I finally was able to get a year later was teaching driver’s ed and my car is getting destroyed. They wouldn’t even accept my degree and I had to dig out my HS diploma. When I say this school is a waste, I am just being brutally honest and I would hate for someone in their early 20’s to get themselves into debt with no job afterwards. Don’t listen to your parents. They don’t know the reality of the world if they are forcing college on you. Don’t cave into the pressure. College is obsolete and will actually create more problems for you! Take it from someone who is in debt and can’t get out of it. Take it from someone with the regrets."
"This week is Veterans week, and as a Veteran I thought I would share how Kaplan has helped me. I served on active duty for over 10 years as a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy. When I received my honorable discharge, I found myself in unfamiliar territory...no license, no security....all of my experience in medicine and I couldn’t even find work as a CNA in long term care, I was unqualified. I soon went to school at the local community college, but found long wait times and several hoops to jump through in order to get my nursing degree. Thankfully after 2 semesters I saw a commercial for Kaplan and decided to check it out. The enrollment staff was incredible and I soon found myself in the ADN program, finally on my way to get my RN. Throughout the ADN program, the educators/professors were amazing and actually cared about my success. As a result I found myself not only completing the program but excelling, even finishing with summa cum laude honors! I couldn’t stop there and immediately enrolled in Kaplan’s ‘RN to BSN’ program. With this program I often found myself feeling comfortable with my employment as a RN, and thought about quitting several times. However the DON from my ADN program Mylissa Belieu kept following up with me, pushing me to keep going (even though she didn’t have too) and with her support I finished my BSN in May of this year. Today, I start my next journey at Kaplan with my Master’s program in hopes to one day fulfill my dream of becoming a practitioner. With the family I have gained at Kaplan, I have no doubt that I once again will succeed! So as many people thank me this week, I take this time to thank Kaplan and everyone involved for helping this veteran find a home, outside of military life!"
"I am a former student of Kaplan University, Des Moines. I received an AAS for Medical Assisting and then went on to study for my BS in Healthcare Administration. At this time I have only 7 courses left before completing my degree. My experience during my Medical Assisting program was not easy but well worth it. I was not a traditional student; I had kids, 2 jobs at times and even a sick mother. Sounds like everyone else's story, huh? Well that's the thing, it was everyone's story, and I had to choose to change my story and graduate so that I would be able to give my children an opportunity of a better life. So while it wasn't an easy road, I was able to have two GREAT instructors that supported and encouraged me and my other classmates to finish and become members of a great occupation. So to Cheryl DeBartolo and Emily Noel, I say THANK YOU! Both of you were great in aiding me to complete my goal. My journey with the BS in Healthcare Administration has not been as great. I have had to stop and restart a few times due to over extending myself with work and obligations of being a mother, nothing new to any of us. Sometimes we are just not ready to focus on ourselves to gain what is needed to be successful. With that being said, the last time that I was enrolled in 2013 I was ready to finish. I knew that in 1 year I would be a graduate and that I was ready to make it happen. The course catalog at the time required that 750 points out of 1000 be obtained for credit for the course. I obtained 742 in one class and 718 in the other. So of course, I failed the courses. Only to find out that within a few months of me failing, Kaplan decided to change the policies and grant a passing score of 600 out of 1000 to the students. Obviously there were a lot more students failing the programs and retention must have become a huge issue. I understand that there are policies to be followed, but to make a change like this and not allow the ones that were most affected by it a chance to recover these credits is completely ridiculous. Maybe others didn't speak up, maybe others could afford to retake the classes, but that is not my story. This change made a huge impact in when and if I will ever be able to finish my degree. Do I take ownership for my part, oh yes I do. Every day I face the fact of how a few extra points or maybe a few extra minutes on an assignment might of changed everything. However, I will also ask Kaplan to accept ownership in their decision to change the policy and not grant an exclusion for those that were within the new guidelines. Give those credits back to the students and allow them to move on. This has affected GPA's and FA ability and Scholarship opportunities for many. I continue to look for ways to fund my degree through trying to save and look for scholarships and grants, but I have yet to be successful. I am determined to finish my degree, Kaplan will you help me? All I am asking for is the recovery of the credits that were lost and the opportunity to allow those credits back into my degree program so that I can finish in the amount of time agreed upon when I last attended."
"I went to Kaplan and excelled. I was so happy to be involved with professors who seemed to care about my progress and accomplishments. I had issues with some classes and I wrote Kaci (now the president of Kaplan) an email explaining the situation and my frustration. She never responded back and when confronted she waved me aside because she doesn't care about the students or if they stay at Kaplan. This place is a business and only wants your money. I was told to get where I want, I would need a degree. Come to find out, employers cannot discriminate against you for not having a college degree. Clearly to become a teacher, nurse etc. you would need the proper schooling. However, the business degree is generic and a waste of time and money. The only thing Kaplan did for me was put me in debt $40,000. These people will pass you because it's a diploma mill. Not saying students that go here are not smart, but if you go there or are planning to go there, know that you don't need to do much to get a diploma. Thanks Kaplan for wasting my time and money. I like how they say "Kaplan University cannot guarantee employment or career advancement." They guaranteed it when I attended, but look at those graduates and see where they're at now. Making the same amount of money they were prior to Kaplan at a nowhere job. I understand that people make their own choices, but Kaplan did nothing to help us grow."
