Unfortunately I have tried to resolve this for years! My name is Willie Green.

I was forced to drop a Colloquia in 2012 due to illness. This charge for the Colloquia has not been removed from my CBR as an outstanding debt. Besides they are a pure rip off with the amount of money they have gotten from students for years. Please clear my record.

I have contacted Capella on numerous occasions regarding this matter. Of course this is not resolved almost 5 years later.

It is pitiful how they overcharge the *** out of you on tuition and then find any opportunity to stick a blazing hot iron to your posteria if you decide to leave the University. I pray something can be done for the many students who have suffered scarred credit from Capella's uncaring and non professional customer service!

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

Monetary Loss: $1800.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

Capella University Cons: Billing and customer service, Financial aid process, Quality of faculty.

Location: 225 South 6th St, Minneapolis, MN 55402, USA

JOIN our class action legal pursuit/justice against CAPELLA UNIVERSITY, for unethical and unfair business practices, degree program stall tactics, unrealistic and unfair student tuition, false promises, the university and its faculty not adhering to its own graduate degree program studentโ€™s manual (only to keep its students enrolling quarter, after quarter โ€“ costing its students an excessive amount of tuition), poor communication during active course participation, student loan/government lending fraud, in addition to many other โ€œcomplaintsโ€. In fact, we also have a an 'expert witness' willing to testify on the dissertation process, and โ€œweโ€ are in possession of a โ€™letterโ€™ from a former CAPELLA UNIVERSITY stating that, โ€œCAPELLA UNIVERSITY'S Doctoral Programs are a fraud".

Facts About Capella University: Capella University was the subject of an Education Department audit, which revealed that the school overcharged lenders and this department by over a half million dollars.

Capella University spends an unusually high portion of revenue on marketing and a relatively small amount on instruction (for its exclusively online program). Most instructors are part-time and accreditation could be an issue in the near future. Capella University appears to maintain aggressive enrollment goals for the more than 300 recruiters it employs. Many former students of Capella University have been plagued with high debt to income ratios after taking out student loans from this for-profit university.

Capella University was recently questioned for having a high withdrawal rate amongst students in its programs and for spending an unusually high percentage of revenue on marketing. (SOURCE: www.processmystudentloans.com/capella)

Capella University information is cited below, where such websites state, โ€œstudents don't mind a non-APA degreeโ€, and also citing that Capella University states, โ€œgraduates earn more income upon their graduating from its universityโ€ - which is false! Additionally to its PhD/PsyD Doctoral Programs, CAPELLA UNIVERSITY graduates cannot even practice clinical psychology, as its psychology doctoral programs are also not recognized by the APA in many, if any states โ€“ a requirement of course, necessary for a graduate to permit a graduate to earn state board-certification or ability to practice psychology โ€“ same issue as stated here within regarding Argosy University (a lawsuit Argosy University โ€œlostโ€). Therefore, if you were provided โ€˜false information/โ€™false promisesโ€™ from CAPELLA UNIVERSITY on this issue, or on any matter, especially upon graduation, that you will be qualified to โ€˜practiceโ€™ psychology within your state, or you were provided โ€˜false informationโ€™/โ€™false promisesโ€™ (regardless of the type of program that you were enrolled with CAPELLA UNIVERSITY) by CAPELLA UNIVERSITY such as whatโ€™s stated above, and/or that you would earn a higher income completing any of its programs, and/or you know of other Learners in this (same) predicament, please contact me.

Also, information regarding whatโ€™s mentioned in this paragraph, there are websites provided below, providing links for your convenience, for further review.

Argosy University was even known for its โ€œbait & switchโ€, whereas all of its psychology students were transferred from its PhD program, to its PsyD program, with the university aware that it was not recognized by the American Psychology Association (APA), and Argosy University even canceled its pursuit to become accredited for its Psychology Doctoral Programs โ€“ with its students to enrolled in its programs. This university has been successfully sued for this situation. So was Phoenix University! Capella University no different!

Additionally, the State of Minnesota passed a State Bill (S.B.) regarding requirements by higher education universities must comply, with CAPELLA UNIVERSITYโ€™S report in the โ€œHARKINS REPORTโ€ that is accessible for your review. FILE your โ€œcomplaintโ€ with the Minnesota Office of Higher Education (See below for contact information). The Attorney Generals of the States of Colorado and Pennsylvania are also filing lawsuits against CAPELLA UNIVERSITY. University of Phoenix Class Action Lawsuit 2015- ****: The University of Phoenix is being sued and may be โ€œshut downโ€, by court order!

Three former students who withdrew from the university filed the lawsuit out of Arkansas, whereas the students claimed that the University of Phoenix sought tuition payments directly from the students after they withdrew instead of deducting the payments directly from the students' loans. The students withdrew because the quality of education they received from the University of Phoenix was extremely poor, the instructors would not help them, and some instructors went missing for a few days in the online classrooms. What the University of Phoenix is doing is illegal: A corporation cannot send student loan money in the form of a loan directly back to the lender and go after the borrower for collection. The University of Phoenix broke the โ€˜lender/borrower contractโ€™ without the student even knowing.

The University of Phoenix is currently being sued for: 1.) Conversion; 2.) Breach of Contract; 3.) Interference With Contractual Relations; 4.) Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing; and 5.) Unjust Enrichment.

Unjust Enrichment (AKA: โ€œBecoming โ€œfilthy richโ€ at the expense of others!โ€) University of Phoenix is well known as one of the largest for-profit colleges in the US, and may also be among the most predatory. University of Phoenix has a long history of lawsuits for itsโ€™ deceptive practices. The school was recently being sold, leaving students out in the dark.

The university has paid several government fines and settled whistle-blower lawsuits concerning its admissions practices and education programs. In 2000, the federal government fined the university $6 million for including study-group meetings as instructional hours. In 2002, the Department of Education relaxed requirements on instructional hours. In 2014 the US Department of Educationโ€™s Office of the Inspector General demanded records from the University of Phoenix and its parent company Apollo Group going back to 2007 โ€œrelated to marketing, recruitment, enrollment, financial aid, fraud prevention, [and] student retention.
