Is this something that is still valid? This is the first I am hearing of it, no one contacted me and I fit the criteria. My degree has been nothing but useless, they promised me I could do it on my time (which was a lie), and that they would help me work for a major tech company (also a lie, they just sent me to usajobs.gov after I graduated).

What’s your email? I can forward you some information as well as resources to dispute your own predatory and questionable practices this school engages in.

This is the first that I have heard of this!! Granted, I attended school in 2009, but I was still deceived. I went to an accredited school prior to attend UOP and they didn't accept ANY of my credits. Then after I "graduated", I couldn't use their credits to continue my education at a local University. I wouldn't have waisted my time or MONEY with these place had I known any of this. I haven't furthered my education because I still owe way too much in wasted student loans. I can't use my 2 years of credits from OUP that I already earned, towards my next degree. A BA would have gotten me closer to my goal of being a CPA, but I'm not starting all over. A larger student loan debt and time away from my family, it's just not worth it now. Honestly, I got my job now, based on my experience. Having this school on my resume was an embarrassment. I removed them from any of my social media accounts as well.

It's January 22nd, 2022 & I wrote a letter to U.S. Dpt. of Edu to ask to have my loans discharged. I did that in August of 2021 = haven't heard 1 word. I am just reading all of your comments & like you, NEVER heard anything about this & I certainly haven't received 1 penny. I didn't have 1 class to help w my degree in Medical Administration. I even had a few heated discussions w my counselor/ teachers about needing the correct classes. The classes they gave me I took in high school! My loans are affecting my credit by 78%!! I will be calling, writing & emailing until I get an answer or money!! They can't tell us no & others yes. I went to Milwaukee & got charged more for switching to online instead of going to campus.
