Great University!!! The professor are phonenomial and supportive.

The content of the classroom material is good. The professor I have right now his temperament is very rude and unbecoming instructing me to drop out of the class explicitly saying I do not have what it takes to be in his 400 level cognitive psychology class that’s just one of the email correspondences I have had with him. I have had a rude Professor a few months ago as well but not to this level of my current professor. Also some professors will not be explicit enough for students to understand the specific instructions . Instructions are pretty vegue. Over all content is good .

Absolutely amazing team!

I went through the administrative credentials program and a lot of the information I needed to test for my AP A’s was not given to me during the program. I did not feel prepared to take that test as a result of the program. I also found it very frustrating when I was told that I was able to finish this program in one year and I had to apply for various applications to do so. I felt that I didn’t get the correct amount of guidance and help from advisors initially it wasn’t until I had an advisor later on in the program that I felt supported.

I began my journey with National in March 2020. I had lot of people recommended the university and my main focus of choosing a university for their price and convenience due to having young children. Back in February 2020, the application process was very easy and there was a lot information in the beginning from the advisors and credential specialists. Cons: After that they dropped off the face of the earth till I had questions. I had to reach out to start my internship even though I was eligible long before I started. I also wanted to get a second credential but it was much more complicated then the specialist initially discussed. I nearly missed out on graduation until I reached out to figure out that I was eligible. Then when it was time to apply for preliminary credential, I had no idea that my degree wasn't conferred until I had reached out and they put it in the system. This may also be just general credentialing but there was great learning material but not enough information to help a new teacher survive. My intern teacher was great with communicating as far as through the phone. But really her skills stopped short there. She took my situation into consideration but did not fully back me when I had real issues with my on-site mentor that was issued by my district. She knew the mentor did not have my credential but sided with her more often than not. She also was very disorganized and was not clear with her instructions especially when it came to vital pieces that ensured I'd be applying my credential. Pros: The classes were manageable enough to have a family and a job. Many of the professors were flexible and gave extensions if you communicated well. My father had passed away in the middle of the semester and the emotional support team was very caring and thoughtful. They helped me drop the class without much of a repercussion. The cost of tuition was very reasonable and I received a lot of scholarships/discounts. Overall, I would recommend national university but I would caution anyone of my own experience. If I was well informed and checked in more often many of the problems would have existed.

I have been attending NU for the past six months. The staff is friendly and helpful. I have enjoyed my professors but find it hard that they do not follow the same class structure. If the curriculum/expectations followed a designated outline, each class would be easier to follow. Highly recommend the monthly semesters, but be prepared to work hard as this program style is accelerated.

The experience has been great. In the beginning you get email and talk to actual people. However, as you keep moving that seems to end. So far their online classes are what they are supposed to be, but they don’t need others that have no reason to take them.

Was told I could get unofficial transcripts to start and needed officials within 60 days of starting. Then received notification I couldn't start until they had all official transcripts. Nobody ever reached back out to me to follow up or anything. Definitely not a college I will try attending, as it's obviously clear they don't care if you get enrolled or not.
