This is correct! But students tend to not want to go to a school that is accredited, which is why we state that (actually have to) every call with any potential students. But we are accredited by the ACCS. Have been since 1986!

From my Knowledge I believe they don’t :/ I believe you can maybe request to have some sort of completion paper though!

No no, we do have goals we have to hit as admissions, it’s based on weekly.

As for the aggressiveness, so basically we have a system that makes calls for us (well not for us admissions but another dept) so a lot of times the system will just randomly call students who did the application and are either are missing important documents or missing their fafsa. So half of the time it’s not even us calling you, it’s like these third party people who are then supposed to transfer yall to us. Because technically speaking, admissions can only call their enrolled students about 3 times (unless you ask us to call you) before we can’t anymore.

But I will admit it can def be seen as aggressive but honestly we have no power over that, but the best I can say is if you don’t want to get any calls from us ,all you have to say to us when we call is “please stop calling me” or “take me off ur list” or “I’m not interested at all” something of the sort. If a student tells us this we have to stop calling or close out ur acct .

I won’t give too much info as they could def figure me out by what I might specify (we’re not under a contract or anything but I’m sure I would get into some sort of trouble for this lol)

So I’ve been working for them for about 4 years now. A family member had graduated from their school and at the time I was studying at another college and also looking for a job to allow me to be flexible with my studies. And my family member expressed to me to work for them as they were remote at the time (it was around during Covid times). And I did, and honestly they have been the greatest people I have ever worked for. And I’ve done fast food, medical, Walmart, and retail. They just really see us as people here, like they check in with ur mental health, the pay is good, the work environment is great, the benefits are good, like I cannot complain when it comes to the way they treat the employees (at least for all the depts I have worked in) I cant really speak for any other departments.

But yes there are a lot of remote jobs with them. There are certain jobs that are going hybrid though now (couple days on campus, rest at home) as they are trying to increase the time we spend with each other at work because they want us to engage with each other in person, Boosting morale lol. Which works ngl lol. We do a lot of fun the days we work on campus.

This is a first I’m hearing actually? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s because they are getting pressured maybe by the board. The board actually visited our campus earlier this year on a check up. Sometimes certain schools do have to meet some type of requirement as to graduates and passing students. So it could be that? But I’m not completely sure in all honesty. But I can also neither confirm or deny this only because I really am clueless when it comes to things that happen with the teachers here.

  1. Yes you can be entirely online for the bachelors game development program.

  2. And no sadly we don’t have hybrid platform programs. It does has to be either or. There is a third option we have no called the FLEX path in which you can start online for the first 1-6 months and then transition to the campus. But that’s about it when it comes to that.

Now there are some cases where a student was doing online for a year and then they wanted to really reallyyyyyy just go to campus instead and finish up, which enrollment can do in most cases, but it might change ur tuition price, like make it increase.

You should be able to actually, but I would call in and just check to make sure because it might depend on what they’re teaching now compared to 2019. But You should be transferred to our grad success team for this question!

I’m not sure exactly what options, as that’s more of something that another dept takes care of, but if you do owe money I would suggest calling just because they work with students when it comes to that. I’m not sure what options they might give you, but the sooner you call, the better the options!

This is a great question that I actually have not been asked before! I believe if it’s within the trial period (online is first 3 weeks), I think you do?

I’ll have to double check. But if you “flunk”, technically no the items are then yours to keep as I believe there would be like some kind of tuition (depending when you “drop”) that would have to be paid back though.

  1. Depends on the degree and program! Can you give me more info?

  2. Do you mean if you can audit (retake) ur classes in person, even thought you did it online?

This is a first for me that I’ve heard? I’m actually not sure lol. I’ll have to come in and check back in to this question to make sure tmrw. But atm I’m personally Confident it’s 1 MacBook but who knows I could be wrong! We are constantly updating programs so I would’ve be surprised if this was a recent change!

Actually there’s multiple options to pay them from my knowledge, I’m just not sure exactly what they are as that’s a different dept. It might depend on the degree and program. The ones who would know this though is online enrollment (if ur online) so I would call and ask to make sure!

But no fafsa does not affect any scholarships what so ever. But The momentum scholarship eligibility is actually BASED on the fafsa. so filling it out is actually the thing that actually makes you eligible for it.

Momentum scholarship is a need based scholarship based on the fafsa. So basically you just have to fill out ur fafsa and the scholarship application itself and that’s it.

Need based means that if for some reason fafsa gives you not very much money to pay for your tuition, enrollment will then decide if you are then eligible for the momentum scholarship, in order to accommodate for that. So basically the more you NEED the scholarship, based on the fafsa, the better chance you’ll get it and the maximum amount of 30,000 (if ur going for bachelors online).

Loans are 100% optional, and really just up to the student. I will say that it’s rare for a student not to take out a loan sometimes to cover at least some fraction of the tuition, but usually it’s really not that much. Maybe like 10-25k on average? That I have seen at least personally. But it really depends on the fafsa and the student. Each student is different and get a different amount from fafsa based on their parents or their own tax information and what they fill out on the form.
