Keiser University

I called Keiser to enroll after I saw their commercial on TV. I called and explained my situation to them. I am a single mother who is a convicted felon and I realized the mistakes that I have mad and need to change my life for the sake of my children. If I choose to enroll will my felonies be a problem? NO I would just have to write a letter to the board explaining why I think I deserve a degree. I (being young and Naïve) thought okay. I also asked about my diploma as I got it from a correspondence school and was told by a person whom was not credible leading me to ask keiser counselor Isabel Valenzuela. I faxed a copy of the High School Diploma they told me that it was accredited Diploma, because of the answers she gave I chose to enroll in their Medical Assisting Program I broke my ankle and was put on a academic drop. They wanted 7,000 dollars to return. I went into the south Florida community college to enroll where I left off only to find out that according to The South Florida Community College my High School Diploma was nothing but a piece of paper. I researched it my self and it is registered to a substitute teacher whos license expired in 1980. Now because they made believe that I had a chance but really did not. inability to benefit for two reasons!. I am a convicted felon 2. I did not have a accredited High School Diploma.

The Financial advisor Leroy Lashley at Keiser University had me fill out my financial aid application and the military scholarship paperwork all through email. I signed everything electronically. He told me I would be approved for up to $1500 to cover my books considering my books. I ended up withdrawing from the medical
Assisting program 6 months ago because one of the professors wasn't being fair and because I had enough with the whole program. Every time I purchased all the books needed for each course from the bookstore until I withdrew, I was able to purchase them with my financial aid from the keiser bookstore. To me, that means I have financial aid right? How can you purchase books with financial aid if you don't have it? Better yet, I was told, I had my military scholarship. Well today, 6 months later. I receive an email stating I have ten days to pay what I owe to keiser or I'm being turned in to collection? Whaaaaat? I called the Busar department. They told me I never paid $100 to withdraw from the program and I owe the rest in book fees which like I said I have been paying with 6 months before with my financial aid/scholarship money that Leroy Lashley also stated in emails that I have saved and stated I would never have to pay back. Keiser Univeristy has not called me about this money, never emailed be before this, never sent me a bill, for 6 months. But this is not mine to pay. Not at all. This is just their way to get money I don't owe from me! Really?! When I questioned Leroy back in September about this financial aid and scholarship he assured me I had nothing to worry about. He said he had no idea why it hadn't been approved yet and he would push the word order through. Yet, back on 05/15/18 is when I filled out my paperwork for my financial aid and scholarship. Four months? Shouldn't someone be approved before you allow them to even purchase books for their courses? This school needs to be shut down. I'm going to sue them for all they have.
