I had a great experience at UMUC,I completed my MBA with no major issues, I actually enjoyed it, word of advice if you are not a good time manager this school is not for you. They only area I believe they could improve is in the student services area "the are truly slow to respond".

Do not attend this school. I was given a B in a class because of a group project that I had no control over. My part of the group project was not even looked at nor graded. My final grade was an 88.625 in a class that I could have taught. ITEC610, Introduction to IT is the class.

I have 15+ years of IT experience. The professor said that we did not site sources that we did site, that we said things that we did not (it's all in writing) and I had A's on almost everything else. My goal was to get a 4.0 in Grad school and that goal is shot because of the professors subjectivity. We weren't even given a chance to fix it, now the professor is ignoring us. Go to a real school like GMU. I will be transfering shortly.

This was my first online course with UMUC. The instructor seemed unprepared and disorganized. She also seemed unprepared to commit an appropriate amount of time to the class. She didn't answer student questions in a timely manner. I agree that many questions, students could answer for themselves by taking a critical look at the instructions already received. This professor also didn't answer the questions resulting from her own lack of attention to detail, wasting the students' time. She checked in only during the weekends, when the assignments were due and too late to help the students. She was also not properly trained on the use of the website, telling students the problem was theirs, not hers, that they couldn't access what she had posted.

Initial instructions told us that we needed three books for a total cost of $142 including the shipping. In the end, the instructor used only one of the books($60) and barely that. The syllabus was an unorganized mess. We were instructed to read the same thing over and over. Sometimes repeating the same information from different places within the book, sometimes the same pages more than once, sometimes having us read the same thing from an online source as what we had already read in our textbook.

I sent an e-mail to UMUC about my concerns halfway through my 8-week course, but never received a response. My impression is that they are not concerned with the problems students may be having at their school.

I'm also still waiting for the return of my tuition assistance for a class I cancelled. The first person I spoke to acknowledged that the school had received payment, but had reversed the payment. The second person claimed it had never been received because I hadn't been billed because I had cancelled the class. Luckily, it was only a one-credit class and only $250, so if I can't ever get them to return the payment, it won't be quite so much out of my pocket.

I had looked for a link on thier site to comment on problems with their faculty, but couldn't find anything. I assume they don't want to deal with student issues as long as they get paid.

I received an A in the class, so I'm not complaining out of disappoinment over my grade. I'm now looking for a new school that takes student concerns seriously.

This schools student services is horrible. Don't try calling, they are not helpful at all. If you email, it takes at least a week for a response. In my specific case, I have been active duty and taking classes for the past 10 years. I took MATH 105 through UMUC near the beginning of my college career. Now that I want to take a classes that has a pre-requisite of Math 103, 106, 107 or higher, they will not accept my class as a pre-requisite. In addition to having to take another MATH class, "Students may receive credit for only one of the following course: MATH 105 or MATH 106." In other words, the student advisor is telling me that I need to take a class that I will not receive credit for and that they will not accept my MATH 105 class to satisfy the pre-requsite requirement.

Future students...beware of which courses you take, they may or may not accept thier own courses to meet pre-requisite requirments. This school is looking out for its own financial interest and not for the invested interest of its students.

This classes are good and so are many of the teachers, but this school has the worst services and administration staff I have ever encountered. If you need help, you can never reach anyone. So you email and they never respond back. I would not recommend this school to anyone, they have made it as difficult as possible!
