Grand Canyon University Reviews

This school is a load of crap dipolma mill. All they care about is your money and don't ever complain about an istructor because you will be targeted. This school is a complete joke I got my BSN which I refer to as my bull**** nursing degree because all you do is write papers. I signed up for a hybrid cohort and was told it would be at a hospital.

This school is an absolute joke. This degree has not helped me one bit. When asked where I went i say GCU and the response is ohh yah so you paid for your degree. Ontop of that they promote this nursing honor societ in which they let anyone into so how is it an honor to pay for a memebership that anyone can belong to woohoo!

Financially appealing. No requirements to get in. No out of state tuition.

They issue you a graduation team (of students I think). They call you every week it seems, but have no idea of what your progress is. My team swapped 4 or 5 + times in 3 segments.

The academics are a bit of a joke online. Responses/grades/notes are copy pasted on your work. When I figured it out, I literally put "This won't even be read, so I made this project up", in the middle of a paragraph between to conflicting points, and it went unnoticed. I then repeated it in the following paragraph. I got a middle of the road A, with the same copy pasted critique from the 2 prior projects.

Academic assistance is a bit of a dupe as well. When I actually needed help, I got a no replies to communication attempts. When I finally did, the instructor was overwhelmed, and wasn't able to help. She was a part time instructor for online courses, and it was a supplemental job for her. Turns out I had an undiagnosed learning disability. So I was getting easy A's, and had no idea there was an issue until it was too late. Then at the first sign of trouble, the graduation team vanishes. No one contacts you back. Then the billing department starts calling.

University's reporting system is flawed. I ended up losing 200 points on my credit score because the registrar's office got behind in reporting, and I kept getting dinged for late payments while supposed to be in deferment. When I attempted to later contest the flawed reports, I got the run around. I ended up having to wait it out and rebuild my score. I will emphasize that this was while attending class, receiving grades, and in the middle of a segment. Not while out of school.

Online: You have to prove attendance by answering questions, and posting online. You then have to reply to other's (quantity depending) posts. At no point did a single instructor mediate the posts when they got off topic or incorrect. It is a religious school, but you would think that when discussing something like psychology, genetics, etc... "God made them that way" would never be an actual answer. Another example is quoting your pastor as a source.

It is what it is. There are people who will fool themselves into thinking it is a great institution, because it is easy and unchallanging.

I hope this helps someone. Don't be fooled by the potential morality of the school. It is a business, and they just want the money. They fool a great deal of people. School doesn't have to be hard to be effective, but interaction with instructors is a must. You have to have the opportunity to try, then get real feedback to progress. This is not the place for learning. It is a great place to pay for a degree. Hopefully your employer doesn't research the school.

Grand Canyon University does not help their students. They are only out for money and that is all. I had a family emergency, put my family first and it has cost me more money than anything. Thy are holding my transcripts, so I can't start another school or anything with my education. They are not willing to help the student out, who are the ones that PAY their salaries.

I signed a MOU to begin classes in February, and since there was a balance on my existing account they would not let me start any class. The bad thing was I was told by 3 different people from Grand Canyon University my balance was 3 different totals. After 2 degrees and a returning student they would have mercy and be willing to help.

If you are thinking of this school, I would run the other way. They are only out for the money.....sad but so true! and they say ''we are a Christian College'' they can sell that bull to someone else, because this student has become starter now!

I am currently enrolled at GCU. I am completely satisfied with my enrollment team. Every week, there is someone on my team calling me to check on me and how I am doing. I recommend this school.

GCU is a great online school to attend for your education needs. Since attending GCU it has been nothing but great accomplishments for me. The instructors have been wonderful in helping me succeed. The outline of assignment has given me the intuitive to move forward.

Im so excited and waiting patiently to graduated in May of 2014. Thank you GCU for helping me complete my dream.

God bless truly
