Kaplan Integrated Nursing Tests

The Kaplan Integrated tests need to be evaluated. The time limit is not enough, and the questions are incredibly specific. The brand names of drugs should be incorporated into the pharmacology integrated tests. The questions should be re-evaluated in terms of fairness. When taking the tests, I know that I, in fact, picked 2 correct answers, but in the results I was told I was incorrect, which deducted points. It is also a problem when you are not allowed to actually see the question you missed. After answering 75 questions, you forget a lot of what you have answered or read. This needs to be rectified and improved.

Kaplan University Staff Review from Brooklyn, New York

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Thank you for this information. Kaplan has been great, but I am having problems with a professor. It seems as though she feels threatened by students who can match or excede her expectations. She lashes out at me during seminar and refuses to grade me adequately. When I ask her what she found wrong in my work she never knows and gives me the excuse that she found something. I do believe that she is biased against religious students and those who are Hispanic. I am sick of her and her nonsense as she has tried to lower my GPA as much as possible and has not answered any of my discussion posts. I am really sick of her.

Graduated, but with a huge amount of debt

I graduated from Kaplan several years ago... although I graduated with honors, highest of my degree subject. Unfortunately, many employers laugh at the University, and it doesn't give any weight for moving your career forward, unfortunately. Many people have wasted tens of thousands of dollars on a piece of paper they will be paying for for many years, printed by a terrible company. I have made all my payments to date, and paid off several of my accounts already. Unfortunately, I had so much debt once I was done, there's a ton left. It doesn't matter what you put into it, ultimately, you're paying for a worthless piece of paper. Ultimately, I'm left paying for something that didn't improve my career in any case, and would have been better off just studying on my own, and saving my money. Thanks Kaplan.

Thieves, Liars,Fraud, and Dummies

Never in my collegiate career have I ever encountered a school where no one knows anything and you are always given the same generic answer. I took one class and was dropped because they said they hadn't received my transcripts when the email I got from the electronic system clearly stated that they had. Then they want to make me wait 30 days for a financial review and are refusing to release my funds back to the US Dept of Education even though I am not enrolled. Someone has to be in charge of taking these matters seriously. Online schools are designed to help those who needed a non traditional educational path. But schools like this are taking advantage of us and no one seems to care.

This school was a joke. They lie to you to get you to sign up and then steal your pell grant money and financial aid. I have NEVER been able to find a job with this "degree" and now own thousands of dollars in student loans. I was told they would help me find a job and that never happened. I was told I would be able to keep my pell grant money and that never happened. This place needs to be shut down. It is a scam on desperate and needy people. I can't believe nothing has been done thus far about these kind of places.

I attended Kaplan for 2 years for my associates in medical assisting. I never had a problem with Kaplan and I loved all the professors I had and my advisor. I have made the President's list once and Dean's list every term and received offers from many scholar societies and I finished with a 3.8 GPA. BUT, right at the time of my graduation date, which was July 2015, they stated that I owed them $522.00. Now they are holding my transcript hostage, meaning I cant sit for my RMA exam until the balance is paid and they are claiming that I am a non-graduate. But I have completed everything I needed in order to graduate. I called and spoke with the financial department and they claim that during my second to last term Kaplan "accidently" sent me my Pell grant check for $1400. Meaning, if they had not sent me that check in the first place, I would of had enough Pell grant money to cover me for the rest of my studies. The Pell grant money is from the government, NOT Kaplan. Now I owe KAPLAN money because THEY made a mistake with my Pell grant. If they had not sent me that check then I wouldn't owe them anything. Meaning, they would not get ANY money from me personally. Meaning, THEY DO NOT MAKE A PROFIT! All of you people who say Kaplan was a great school, yeah, I thought the same thing until they screwed me over, along with most other students that attend. If you actually read and do your research on Kaplan FAD, there was a class action lawsuit filed against them in 2012; along with former employees who worked at Kaplan in the FAD saying there was nothing but fraud. So, if you had a great experience at Kaplan and actually graduated, you more than likely got screwed over without even realizing it and just fed into their trap of making them even richer. Way to go!! If I would have done better research before starting Kaplan, I would not have even attended this school.

Kaplan University - Financial Aid Service Review from Linden, Texas

I started became a Kaplan university online student in 2010 applied science degree in medical assisting. For 2 years I was on the Deans list. For the term of 2012, I had 8 hours of clinicals left. An unknown caller whom was having an affair with my husband called Kaplan and said I was a drug and alcoholic. They terminated me, and my grade went from A to an F. I had to retake my clinicals. I've been fighting and trying to seek help for 4 years now. My educational goal and dreams are gone. They did not follow protocol nor investigate the matter. I saved all my emails persons names that didn't matter. As a single mom Kaplan took money. I can't continue my education because of the student financial aid. They have me as an incomplete and I finished my courses. Why do they lie and target poor students just to take the funding. I need help with this problem. I want to resume my career and can't. I'm now suffering from depression all that hard work I done and Kaplan taking my dream away from me over a lie that they did not investigate

Kaplan College- Can't find a job

This school was a joke.They lie to you to get you to sign up and then steal your money. I have NEVER been able to find a job with this "degree" and now own thousands of dollars in student loans. I was told they would help me find a job and that never happened. I had to look for a job myself, and when I did apply for a job no one would take me serious because of this "degree" I can't work or any good paying jobs... Now I can't get myself out of debt. It is a scam on desperate and needy people.I can't believe nothing has been done thus far about these kind of places. They are not there to help you.

We (corporate management) usually throw resumes with fake degrees from Capella, Kaplan, Art Institute, ITT Tech, University of Phoenix, basically any type of these schools in the trash. Unfortunately even though you're getting scammed out of $100K, which is heart breaking, we need ppl with actual degrees from actual schooling.

You're better off going to a community college. I'm so sorry!

Kaplan is a Diploma Mill and Rip off

I worked in Financial Aid for six years! All I can say is the fraud is unreal. most of the FA documents are photo shopped for signatures, once you sign one form, they have you. They are a diploma mill. The professors are told to pass everyone and are in trouble if they don't. Admissions gives the answers to the entrance exams. The tuition costs increase when the grants increase, so they use all the limits of everything possible to put you in a lot of debt. They squeeze every last dollar they can. They have private loan sharking companies that charge 18% to 24% interest to cover any gap that is not covered by loans and grants. They are non-for profit because the Feds wanted to close them. Keiser the mizer is worth 300 million dollars and he is now so rich they can't touch him, he has lawyer-ed up big time. Don't go here folks. and if you did not login and you enrolled, admissions will log you in so you get charged so that they can reach there quota for enrollments. This is a boiler room situation. There is nothing non for profit about this school. Keiser hides behind loop holes in the system. Google what the definition of not for profit is and you will be very surprised to learn it is not what you think it is. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL AT ALL COSTS!!! I could tell you more but I don't have enough space.

Kraplan - rip off students and abuse their staff

Having worked for Kraplan UK I can point out that they are equally abusive to their staff. They have no qualms about firing people as it casually suits them (often without genuine reason), moving them around like cattle and thinking nothing of enforcing long hours. Pay is very poor for junior staff (though top guys earn huge salaries, surprisingly). They are only about the 'bottom line' which is why their educational provision is poor - they pay a pittance so don't get the best teachers. Their degrees are a joke in university circles. Some private providers can be good. Kraplan is not one of those. You would use your money more wisely by taking a holiday!

After 3 years...I am still PISSED

You know as I paid a student loan payment today, it got me to thinking about how enrolling in Kaplan was the BIGGEST mistake of my life. I am on the hook for $4,000 and only attended your online classes for 1 (yes, that is ONE) month. I was told that I missed the drop deadline and that there was nothing that anyone could do. Even when I explained that I needed to drop due to a death in the family. I deferred the loan as long as possible, trying to contact Kaplan for resolution. Shocker that there was none, but even three years later it *** me off everytime that Kaplan took this money and I get NOTHING but a bill. The BIGGEST joke and fraud ever. Lesson learned, I guess. Stick with a local community college who hopefully has some ethics.

THE ONLY LESSON KAPLAN TOUGHT WAS LIES AND RIPOFF.

Kaplan University has robbed me of my education. This institution is supposed to be about learning and integrity however it has proven to be nothing but lies and pricey lies at that. I attended Kaplan since 2011 completing my BA through 2015 where I was enrolled in the Masters Applied behavior analysts program. In 2014 I was charged with plagiarism as I did not properly cite a webpage image, I did cite it but it was in the wrong format. I appealed the charge however they denied my appeal and I was told by my advisor that it was just a warning. Knowing from Kaplan reached out or spoke to me about this charge and the only means of communication between me and the people determining the charge was email. Sounds unfair but moving on. In 2015 I used three-four sentences from a previous paper I had written back in 2013 for Kaplan. I cited the quote I used properly and wrote the remaining paper. My professor came back to me and said my paper was plagiarized and was not my own work/ideas. She then stated that she submitted it for plagiarism and furthermore stated that upon investigation it appeared I used parts/portion of my prior work. Anyway long story short, again Kaplan charged me with plagiarism, I appealed this and yet again they denied my appeal. Yet again no communication besides there emails charging me with this charge. I had to hire a lawyer in order to reappear and communicate with Kaplan. Kaplan has denied my lawyers appeal and has charged me with self plagiarism, which is a second charge. I was given an *** the class that I had perfect grades in, besides the one paper and dropped from the ABA program. I have since left Kaplan to continue my education. I felt I was treated unfair and they never even reached out or connected me concerning these charges. These charges should have been handled differently, maybe as a learning experience or even loss of points but this is not stealing/plagiarism. This was a horrible experience and a waste of my time and money.

Comlaint

I went online to find a school that would help me better my education as a Medical Assistant to make more money. Keiser University was the one I contacted, but 5 minutes later Kaplan University called me. Janet Warren was very enthusiastic to tell me that with my GPA from a Community College would offer me an Achievement award to help pay for my College. I said that was the only way to afford to go to school. Janet Warren promised me after I had sent my transcripts that I would get the Award. I had sent them on time and she said the council would look at them. She also said her manager approved this. Janet Warren hurried me to sign up for my classes as they were starting within a few days. I asked if she was sure that I would receive this $10,000.00, Achievement Scholarship and she reassured me that with her managers approval that I would. As I started my classes I kept asking when the Achievement Scholarship was going to kick in, because I started receiving $400.00 bills for my classes. She said my transcripts were still under review and she could not explain the delay. I reiterated that I could not financially pay for this school without help. Then Jennifer Ayers called me to enroll in my second term and I asked about the Achievement award again. The next email I received was that they regretted to inform me that I would not be getting my award due to the late time it was viewed by the internal review!? I have a printed email from the Office of Student Relations, Brianna Lang, apologizing for the transcripts being over looked and were not reviewed until February 21, 2013, which fell outside of my first term, and 'technically' made me ineligible for the Academic Achievement Scholarship. Please help me resolve this problem as it is effecting my credit and I am threated to have my wages garnished for a $5,000.00 debt owed to the U.S. Department of Education. Thank you, Jill Webster 352-514-****

These for-profit universities are just the worst. The first thing that triggered in my head--though not related to the problems you've had with their deception-- was that you could perhaps recover from them under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

You submitted consent to be called to Keiser, not Kaplan.

Keiser probably sold your number to Kaplan, who then called you (maybe illegally). Check out www.stoptelemarketingabuse.com for more information if you'd like.
