DeVry University

I do not recommend DeVry to anyone. They are very uninformative, unprofessional, the teachers are awful, the advisors are horrible, the classroom settings are the worst I have ever been in; I can go on and on.

DeVry will advertise anything to get you to go to their school but once you get in, they are of no help getting you through to the end of your educational journey. If you want to transfer; keep everything on record (EMAIL!!!). Again, I do NOT recommend this school to anyone.

It was a HUGE loss for me financially and a loss of time as well. I highly recommend you do research and look into any other school and program out there; DeVry is NOT your route.

DeVry has totally messed up my sons college experience. They have fumbled the ball on the grants and scholarships.

They have messed it up so bad that it will take my son approx 5 years to get a bachelors degree. So frustrated with DeVry. Would NOT recommend this school to anyone; and they don’t care about bad reviews.

They only care about the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

Class primarily consisted of writing random paragraphs and having group discussion. Nothing seemed to deal with learning code or how to use the required Raspberry pi...

never even used it for the class we were forced to buy it for. They never really tell you how much a semester hour cost either... I took 3 classes 1 semester and quit due to the quality of classes.

Those 3 classes cost $6000 dollars plus books and the mandatory raspberry pi that wasn't used. This was 2015/2016 when I took the classes and sometime after I quit the FTC started investigating them for false claims and something else.

I just completed the form for transcripts to be sent to another school and ran into this same problem. (2-12-2018).

I wondering what can I do to get this resolved. I need this to be done rather quickly.

Please advise. {{Redacted}}

HIT 141 was the worst 8 weeks and my professor was even worse. She was never available, had no idea what she was doing or what school I was a part of.

Worse thing is she was able to pass out grades without reviewing all the homework submitted. I was able to provide that when my draft was submitted she only opened one of the two documents and she gave me a zero. How is this fair??? I tried to file a complaint and was passed off to another professor who was equally as bad.

His responds was Devry allows their professor the freedom to grade us as they see fit.

Really so how is at fault that I submitted two documents and she only opened one? I love the freedom of online classes and my current professor rocks but the rest of the program and Devry not so much.

Nothing has bee resolved. Only thing that is certain.

DEVRY gave me nothing for an education.

They are coming after me for the student loans they recieved on my behalf. I set with no job and in foreclosure and about to loose my car.

I am former student of DeVry of Orlando -Earned my bachelors of science in computer information systems in 2015 with a cumulative GPA 3.86 .

So far, I have been on numerous interviews and all have said that I am not sufficiently trained and that there is too much deficiency in my level of skills to perform even an entry level job. I went back to the administrators of DeVry - According to Orlando DeVry Deans, Counselors and the President of the DeVry - They still state that after testing my skill knowledge that I should be easily hired by any prominent software company with my high level training and skills learned at DeVry. Although the list of companies they provided me say otherwise as I have been interviewed and tested by several of the well- known companies on DeVry's provided list. The jobs I applied for are entry level software developer, database admin, among others my degree states I am adequately prepped for. I finally gave up and went back to seeking employment in my old industry in construction. DeVry was a waste of time and money since they clearly do not have the necessary components in place to provide a viable university education. Other same year graduates are having the same issues not finding jobs in their field of study with the education DeVry provided them and graduating with honors.

The reason I chose DeVry was their outstanding job placement stats, stating that 88% of people who go through their program obtain a job in their field 6 months after graduation. In life I believe hard work and perseverance are the keys to successful goal accomplishment. However, in this case I feel I got deceived by a university that over promised and under delivered. I did my part and graduated with honors, however, all I received in return is over $60,000 dollars in student load debt and nothing to show for it except a worthless diploma in a nice case.

The worst part about it, is DeVry representatives dodge responsibility by turning the tables and placing blame on the graduate for the lack of employment success. My advice to potential students Do Not Consider Devry as a means to gain a reliable university education or a pursuit of gainful employment as you will be extremely disappointed. Apparently DeVry has been the subject of state and federal investigations for years on its recruiting and accounting practices. DeVry is cheating students out of their university education - Stealing Grants & Scholarships while essentially providing a sub-standard education most employers won't consider hiring from. Students basically achieve a Paper Mill Degree while DeVry administrators make millions from thousands of federal financial aid, scholarships and loans. Students suffer a bigger loss of time and loan payments that the federal aid doesn't cover due to the high $$$$ cost of DeVry’s worthless education. DeVry Orlando campus lacks up to date software programs, lacks educated professors with up to date knowledge and training resulting in worthless education and paper mill degrees.

DeVry lures students in to acquire their federal aid money and scholarships. This is how for- profit schools like DeVry and ITT Tech apparently got rich as there are little government regulations in place on the sub-standard education provided to their students. For-Profit School ITT Tech is finally being shut down. Time for the Federal Government to Shut Down the thieves at DeVry too.

One thing I learned in Business 101 - Most important thing to remember in managing a business is Integrity and a Commitment to Ethical Business Practices. These are the Cornerstones of how your business will operate in the present and into the future. DeVry’s Grade is an F for Failing in Integrity and Ethical Business Practices – Failing to provide the adequate level of knowledge and skills for today’s business world. Integrity and Ethics go a long way in the business world and DeVry failed when they began to focus more on their wealth and lost vision to the low-quality of the education they sold to their students.

Just don't do it...I had the GI Bill when I enrolled and told them I don't need any other financial aid. They had me fill out the MPN and all information anyway saying they needed it, but I wouldn't be using federal loans.

My student loans show THAT WAS A LIE! They had me getting both, and I didn't realize it until a few classes in. Fast forward, finished my degree, ended up quitting my job so I could focus fully on school...now with all this FTC judgement, I know my DeVry degree will be absolutely worthless.

That is, once I pay for this Perkins Loa. *** and actually get my degree in hand.

I spent the last 18 months completing a Bachelors program using my Post 911 60% GI Bill. Three months after completion, I still can’t get a diploma, transcripts or even a single piece of paper saying I completed the program.

I tried enrolling in another school closer to home for a Master program and DeVry refused to send transcripts out. So of course I can’t start the new program. After making several telephone calls, I was told there was a hold on my account for not paying my final bill. Even though I received a billing statement few days before saying I had a zero balance outstanding.

So after calling around and getting no help I find out I have a $1500 balance which is then changed to a $1300 balance. I paid the entire amount by credit card and was told my transcripts and diploma would be sent out immediately. One month later and I still have not heard or received nothing so I started calling again. No one answers at the campus and I get some guy in another state.

He checks and verifies that I have no holds on my account and says my diploma is probably at the campus waiting for me to pick it up. His explanation is that once you pay any outstanding balance and a hold is lifted you are not called or sent any notification. Basically you are supposed to magically know that your diploma and transcripts are sitting on a desk somewhere at the campus waiting for you to drive an hour and a half to pick them up. And of course you can’t call a head and verify that they are there because no one is available to answer the phone.

So I have to go to the school and ask around or request a duplicate diploma for of which there is a fee and can take eight to twelve weeks. The bottom line is there are way better schools that treat their students with more respect.

You would think a school like DeVry, who only exists because of the billions they get from GI Bill programs, would at least pretend that they give a dam.
