Grand Canyon University [GCU] review: Class action lawsuit 101

I am trying to find out about the class action lawsuit but the search takes me nowhere.(?)

I am a victim and I would like to become involved in the class action suit, as this is unfair to all of us whom would like to continue our education and not be prevented from doing so. This institution has been fraudulent in the many of its practices including over rated charges and changing of billing statement and over billing loan servicing companies! Something has to be done immediately!

I can understand what you're dealing with, it been alot of contoversy with this institution and this is terrible as I am still a student also and this is terrible! I think this type of treatment needs to hit the news soon as this institution is for profit and they are actually ripping students off!

I failed to classes due to rude incompetent instuctors that didn't do their job. Open book test weren't in the book, they couldn't explain assignments, no knowledge how to use technical support... Gcu and debt collector they sent it to said I only owed $760, in which GCU offered a settlement agreement that I only had pay $360 and they would pay the rest. The debt collector agreed with me and notified GCU (even with my personal contact information updated). GCU has yet to contact me or my emails unless the original email to collect aa $760 debt which I just found out is actually $5, 966.73 debt that automated system nor customer representatives can keep same balance of mind you. I didn't even find out until my credit report was pulled for medical reasons needed and I was denied. I am currently speaking to attorneys trying to obtain them and start law suit if cannot be handled appropriately out of court and am highly interested in any class action lawsuit against Grand Canyon that could pertain to my cases situation please contact send an information to Themangelyis82@gmail.com.

I am also a victim of the very deceptive Grand Canyon University. I have tried every avenue and every method of complaint that I can find. The University took my money and failed to release classes to me. After contacting the Department of Education about this, they altered my grade in the ONLY class (introductory level) that I had taken. So, it appeared that I was failing. Mind you, the grade went to a B to an F in a matter of a half an hour.
They failed to communicate with me despite numerous attempts to resolve. Anyone interested in a class action lawsuit, please contact me, , I see this has been done before.

Do Not Enroll, they rob you of your FAFSA and then want to bill you for it. They drop you and say they'll fix it because it was in error, but they won't. You make great grades and contribute so much other peers compliment your efforts, but they drop you on the last week so you have to retake the class and they double dip their fees, while you are left at a step back. They enroll you and drop you without your consent. If they ask you about your belief system and it does not go along with the teacher's, even if you have 100, they will drop you or fail you in the class on the last week. They take long to post your grade for this reason so you no longer have access to the posts to prove it. Then when you are close to finishing, they change the program so you step back on meeting the requirements. They are liars an thieves and rob you without remorse.

I went to GCU in 2011 for by BSN and was told that after a 'scholarship' that I was awarded plus a discount through my employer, I would be responsible for $16, 700 once I graduated. They were constantly 'posting' thousands of dollars onto my account that they had received. I kept inquiring as to why all of these transactions were being placed and they just would say that it was how they billed their 'sessions! Once I graduated, the total balance that I had to pay back was over $30, 000! I was devastated to find out what my payments were going to be as they were more than my car! If there is a class action lawsuit out there, please let me know! I truly believe this place should be shut down and never be allowed to do any of these things to anyone again!

I will be willing to join a class action lawsuit against Grand Canyon U. Everything they did to goof me up would take too long for me to get into. Lets just say that I already have a Masters from Indiana Wesleyan in business and it was a great experience. I graduate with a B+ average. I was told I would be able to teach using a degree in education from Grand Canyon U. I was almost finished with this second masters and found out that it was worthless. Now I am working on an unrelated doctoral program and have to pay cash (with frequent breaks in between classes) as I used up my financial aid going to Grand Canyon. They wasted my time AND money.

I also have the same story about GCU. They put me in debt for over 60, 000 and had to consolidate my loans because they had me paying 5 different loan servicing people. I did get lucky about the job but that was because I was already working in the field at the time I went to school. I was the only one working in my family at the time and they wanted me to do my student teaching at a different school, which would have cost me my job, however I was able to get them to allow me to do my student teaching at the school I worked at but the degree has not helped me in the least when I needed to move and find a new school for employment. I would like to get involved with the class action suit against this school so they are unable to do this to another unsuspecting student. crystalwolfe2000@gmail.com

I went to Grand Canyon University for one class in Sociology. I attended one session which was an introduction of all the students. I then found out that my husband had quit paying the mortgage on our house and had 4th stage head and neck cancer which was why he was such odd things. He passed away soon after this. They still wouldn't accept his death as a good reason and increased the amount I owed them. I wrote to the teacher and the admissions department but they said I didn't follow the directions for withdrawal and charged me for that class and one on Religion that I had planned to take the following semester. I refused to pay them and they sent me letters saying how much I owed them. This was back in 2007 and I still haven't paid them. I would be glad to take part in this class action suit.

If a class action can begin I am on board! I not, I am willing to being the process with the right group of people. Please email me at swedehart@msn.com

I am willing to be involved in this class action lawsuit. 1st off I graduated from Ashford University with a BA in applied behavioral science, I enjoyed Ashford and their faculty did everything in thei power to help me succeed. The only reason I decided to change schools and try GCU was because they had a masters program that I was interested in. I started off with one enrollment advisor and then was passed on to a second advisor, both advisors gave me the same information regarding my financial aid, I was then supposed to be contacted by a student coordinator financial advisor. He never called me, instead a different student coordinator financial advisor emailed, but never phoned me. I had several questions still about my financial aid and my classes, now mind you it was a day or two before class. On the day of class I was assigned a student counselor and she was the one who walked me through the portal, and she was also the one who advised me about my financial aid which was in agreement with the first two enrollment advisors answers. So the day after I post I finally get a call from the financial advisor advising me on my financial aid package, and her information was completely different then what three other employees had relayed to me previously. I then asked to go ahead and withdraw since they did not seem to be operating in transparency, especially for a Christian church. After only one day of posting I was told that I could withdraw but I'll be responsible for 25% of that class which was going to cost me over 750.00 dollars. So I told them withdrawal me, I contacted one of the managers there and asked to file a grievance or complaint, so I then get a response from a counselor mngr who was forwarded my email, to help and try to solve the situation. She was able to get me correct info on the financial aid situation and gave me pretty much an hour to decide whether I wanted to go ahead and be reinstated, mind you the time limit for the second week is about to begin and if you withdraw in the second week you will owe them fully for the class. I did decide the next day, which was now the start of the second week to not go with GCU. Well guess what? They are charging me for the full class. So yes I want to be involved with this class a lawsuit. I feel gcu has not been transparent in the information that they give and it is like they are almost deceitful in the way they handle some things. This has been a complete nightmare and now I just went into debt overnight with owing them close to 2000.00 dollars. I think they have too many advisors to advise but they are all not on the same page, and the information they provide is very conflicting.

I would like to be involved as well.
I completed one "payment period" as they called it, which included 3 classes. Then went to start the second "payment period" and I had a death in the family, I'm a military spouse so I had a lot of traveling to do and arrangements to make, so I decided to drop the course. I was told I'd be responsible for a portion of the class. (Which was 198$ supposedly). They granted me a "scholarship due to circumstance" so that I wouldn't have to take that specific course again. After the dust settled, I registered for another class, Graduate Statistics, and I was drowning. I panicked because I didn't want my 3.88 GPA to fall because of bad grades in that class and I just couldn't handle it. So I withdrew completely and was told I'd only be responsible for a portion of the class, because like the first, I dropped it within the first 2 weeks.
I received a statement stating that I owe $3742 plus that $198. I paid the 198$ because that made sense. But $3742? I'm in the process of disputing that. It is definitely not accurate, at all. There's no way. The class with my military scholarship only costs $1695... $3742 is not 25%, it's over 200%... so I want involved in any lawsuit. britanie.minnick@gmail.com

Wow I stumbled on this as IAlso feel like this university scammed doctrinal students. I made an appeal on a professor I had for 8 classes and was horrible with returning papers back in a timely manner. So, no choice but to keep signing up for class after class and that translates to student loans. The expectations are false and the the class I was privileged to be apart no one I believe finished the program. I will stop but have so much more!

I would like to join any possible litigation involving GCU. I recently withdrew after feeling like this place was a paper degree mill. After the instructor failed to email me (twice)regarding a grade, I dropped. At first GCU stated I would owe the balance for the class. A few weeks later I got a bill for over $500. The GCU staff aggressively attempted to collect this bill. I stated that the class was null and void after there was no instructor to answer questions. The instructor didn't even comment on my discussion board topic. This was a very bad experience and a costly one as well. Every class I had I had a problem with the instructors either making up rules or not responding to my email; the course(Masters degree) is obsolete. Most I covered in my undergrad program. I only wish I read the hundeds of complaints and past class action lawsuits before I enrolled in this fraudulent paper mill.

If a class action lawsuit is truly in the works please add me. My email address is JillChetta@gmail.com. It seems everyone here has similar stories to tell. My story starts with a very persuasive enrollment advisor who sucked me into teach grants and multiple loans with more than one lender. This advisor who no longer works for GCU convinced me to transfer out of my local brick and mortar school for classes that would be faster at GCU. Well that absolutely was not true. After the fact, she wanted me to double up on all my classes. Not to mention, she basically chose the Degree Program I should major in. Turns out that program is recommended for people who have already been employed in the school system, which I was not. I should have known it would be reasonable to Major in a dual education degree that leads to licensing and certification if employed, but I was in a dreamworld at the time. 4 years later I finally received my Bachelors Degree in Educational Studies, which is not what I had originally intended on doing. This was with classes that transferred in from another University. I should of realized there was a big problem when attempting to do practicums. So many of the schools where I completed practicums did not even take me seriously, and I had terrible problems making arrangements on my own. Towards the end when I realized I had to set up my own Student Teaching that is when the trouble really began. In the end I felt I had no choice but to switch programs. I had the feeling as if I was slowly getting pushed into a corner with no way out. Well now I have my Bachelors in Educational Studies and can not do anything with it. I am also stuck with a Teach Grant which I will have to voluntarily convert to a loan, because the idea of teaching is not in the cards for me. I also have multiple loans with different lenders which I had to consolidate. I am not sure how to make this work for me. I feel the best option now is the Class Action Lawsuit. Not even sure if I can get Pell Grants at my local College so that I can continue to pursue my education, because now I have a Bachelors. As far as I know, Pell Grants are for students without a Bachelors. GCU even had the nerve to ask me if I would come back to pursue my Masters. Hell No! I also need to mention, I tried to get out of GCU and transfer back to my original school when I saw the red flags, but they played manipulative games and made up stories that were not true to keep me as a student.

GCU prides themselves on being a good christian school until a student with mental illnesses reaches out for help and requests a leave of absence. Then they begin to harass the student with the requirements necessary to make this happen. A few weeks later they reach out and inform you that the requirements have changed and it is too late to do anything about it. Asking for a new counselor does no good. Then a person is informed that they are stuck with the snotty, better than thou counselor that they had the misfortune of being assigned to. Reaching out to their supervisor only makes things worse. As you can imagine this only adds more pressure to someone with bipolar and major depressive disorder who is already struggling to make it from one day to the next. I am already pursuing legal action against the school and I will gladly join a class action suit against Grand Canyon University. Feel free to contact me. Amanda Johnston ajrose0215@gmail.com.

My name is Nora Washington and I've been treated very unethical by GCU they refuse to allow me to graduate after successfully completing my degree program. They sent me a financial aid check, but can I wasn't supposed to receive one, now it's time for me to graduate and they will not allow me to graduate until I pay a financial aid check back that I was supposed to have received. Now they are writing an email and harassing me about money I don't have, and my advisor refuses to send me my diploma. My account was 0 by the time my advisor recently add a balance so I cannot graduate the treatment is unethical and really not fair at all. You can contact me at norawashington50@yahoo.com or call me at [protected] or [protected] please contact me

@Robert Woosley. I am in the same situation in DBA program. Started my program in 11/2013. I have been assigned a completely incompetent chair who works full-time for University of Phoenix. Boy is there a conflict of interest there? She has done nothing to help me. In fact, I do not think she has gotten anyone to AQR. Chair is supposed to be expert in quantitative research but has no idea what a quantitative non-experimental descriptive study is! Additionally, I am doing a replication study and she has no idea what that is either! In March 2017, upon her request I sent 2 empirical articles on each. I do not think she has even read it! My methodologist doesn't know how to handle a replication study either! I have requested a change in chair 7 times to no avail. They have maxed out my financial aid and I am now told I will have to start paying back my loans ( in 8 weeks) and start paying $500.00 to GCU for extension courses. Lastly, I signed an employment contract in 08/2013 that I would complete a terminal degree in 5 years. I chose GCU because they stated 3-3.5 years to complete. Clearly, I will not complete in 5 years and could lose my job as well. I am 54 years old, who will hire me after this! I cannot even purchase a new home or do anything that requires r3eview of my credit because of my debt. Yesterday, I contacted the Dept of Ed to see if they can run some interference on this. After all, GCU has extorted their money using me as a student. Additionally, I saw this post earlier. "Please contact us at GCUclassactionlawsuit (This is a Yahoo account) if you are interested in joining the class action lawsuit." Personally, I am not a lawsuit type of person but GCU is leaving me no choice here. My email is ecklerb14@gmail.com

I enrolled to G.C.U filling out financial aid and all, but after like two weeks i dropped out and did not continue studying. To try to study entrepreneurship.I only turned in my biography but never a completed( not even one) assignment because i knew i would not have the time to study because i have to work .Now they are telling me i owe them over $2, 000.I thought at least they would terminate everything being that I did not continue.There just in it for the money.Makes them even look worser calling themselves a Christian college .No forgiveness.My email is nvladymir@gmail.com

Alot of people here having the same stories over and over and over. I am currently a student at GCU and I am scared for my future. If there is a true and real lawsuit, please count me in. I am not a lawyer, but I have alot of understandings of the law, being my uncle is a lawyer ( this is not his type of case though). I am in my 2nd PP and I dont need to run into any more problems. Bad enough no one returns your calls or emails. my email is NEPAsurveymom@gmail.com. Please email me all info to this class action lawsuit so I can participate in. Thank you.

I was in my last month before graduating at Grand Canyon University. They have changed my degree requirements. I would like to be contacted on any lawsuit that happens.
