UoPeople going for regional accreditation

[wow]

The communication issues are really horrible, and yes, they do auto-enroll people in their first classes. Which is how I ended up in two classes and then could not get the reasonable information regarding dropping. They also did not put me in the classes I wanted to take, which was a problem because I had no intention of taking one of the classes they put me in. Now I'm going to have to keep my fingers crossed that my transfer school allows me to use it as an elective. Definitely do not sign up for their system until you are ready to actually start classes, and be very clear about how many classes you want to take, but do not expect to get to choose your classes during the first term. Out of all the students that I've spoken to, I am the only graduate student that they've put into two classes in one term during the first term. I think that only happened because I was not aware that the school is on 8-week terms. I had told them I wanted to take accounting and financial management, but instead they signed me up for accounting and organizational behavior. On the upside, the organizational behavior professor was absolutely amazing! However, in the last few weeks I was not able to do any work to earn money because I was so bogged down with the group projects. The biggest issue with their group projects is people not participating. I really think they should just do away with the group projects, and encourage people to form networking friendships in a different way.

Thanks, SweetSecret. Your posts about your UofPeople experience have been very helpful to me in understanding what's going on in my (mis)communications with them, and their process as a whole.
