South CBE may not be the best choice
#1
I was in the process of starting South college for the DBA and it looks like that's not going to happen. I had my 1st first call last week with my mentor and Dr. Beckworth which he was super funny and encouraging. I was scared at 1st but after that call I was confident. Less than 48 Hours. He resigned!?! Did I do SOMETHING WRONG? I was scheduled to start class Yesterday.. No one from the college has reached out to me about anything. Come to find out.. South lost over close to 15 professors and staff members is less than 2 month. After talking with other students papers have been graded late, instructors are not responsive. And also what I thought was interesting..students have reported when you it get to the ninth course they intentionally stall you, so you can pay for another term. After reading through the official and unofficial Facebook groups I saw potential lawsuits and report that confirms my suspicion. Look like I'll be going elsewhere.

Have you read the previous threads on South CBE? Did you pay for the session already? What does the refund look like?

I did not submit or do anything, so I will be getting a full refund. Otherwise my financial aid will not be processed.

I had a good conversation with Dr. Beckworth last week too. I decided to proceed, however. It is a shame, though, because Dr. Beckworth and I had a great rapport.

What is Dr Beckwith's first name? I'm not seeing a faculty directory on their site

I am suffering from the same issues. I am in the ninth course and being stalled. Can you point me to where the lawsuits are located?

Hey, I got your private message, not sure why though, I'm not sure what issues South College is having, it may be just one program or a couple of programs affected... I'm not a student of South College, nor do I work for South College. Was there some question you had that you thought I would be able to answer? If you can still finish the program, I would try to tough it out and get it done like this individual... Here's someone who finished the program recently: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Completed
