Honestly, I really regret choosing to attend National. After graduating from community college, I enrolled at National University. They had made me any great financial promises which is why I chose to attend this school. However, after 3 months of attending, I did not receive one of the scholarships I was promised. I called several departments searching to solve (what I believed to be) an issue with the payments system, but was given the run-around. I was constantly told to contact a different person or department. I spoke to finance, scholarships, my advisor, and waited weeks to hear from the office of the register. I even emailed the office of the president. After weeks of bombarding the school with daily emails and phone calls, I was finally called back and told this scholarship was no longer being offered. I had never been notified. And NU’s failure to provide the promised scholarship adds nearly $5,000 on to my tuition which I am paying for on my own at 20 years old. At this moment, I’m hoping to raise enough issue with NU that they choose to honor the scholarship. I’ve even been forced to get a parent involved as I feel this school is not taking me seriously. If they don’t decide to uphold their promises, my options are limited. If you’re a prospective student, do not go to this school. Save yourself from the lies and empty promises. No faculty member at this school seems to care about the students. They just want your money

I am a new transfer student at National University and I love it! I’m an online student and everything from the enrollment process to my class dashboard/student account is very easy to use and navigate through plus they have a student concierge service available 24/7 as well as a Virtual Veteran center and the student veteran organization for different activities and scholarship opportunities which is a wonderful thing. I am very excited to complete my BA degree with National University!

I'm very pleased with the outstanding services and the workers making sure all paperwork are done right and scheduling the classes needed to help understand the career path.

The professor's are amazing! The staff has supported me throughout my journey and I am grateful to National University. It has been an amazing experience.

I was really nervous about going back to school and doing much of it online, however I felt very supported by all of my professors. The communication was really good-starting at the admissions level, then with my advisor, and professors. I was pursuing my multiple subject teaching credential, which required a lot of steps. Having support every step of the way is crucial.

Well, I’ve been a student with NU since December 2020. The instructors are a hit or miss. For the most part you will get some instructors that will grade students on writing abilities. For example, some instructors may be hired to be instructors for couples therapy, but the instructor will focus on the students quality of writing. This can result in the student being failed unfairly. And there is little to no student support from the lead faculty of the department in question. Lead faculty will not respond to questions when asking for help from abusive instructors. Student affairs is a joke as well. They never help at all. And for the amount of money people pay to attend NU it’s really a form of fraud because they’re only concerned with the student being able to pay for classes. That’s the only time NU really reach out to students. Other than that, good luck trying to speak with your assigned academic advisor. This school is ran like a strict for-profit institution. Bottom line is that students pay thousands of dollars to be their own academic guides, but yet are subject to be failed for not being aware of the instructor’s ego. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone ever. Go to a state university instead.

Kim Yarbrough is an amazing academic counselor! She has really been a great resource and personal cheerleader! I am blessed to have someone in my corner when navigating schooling at such a crucial time in my life. Thank you Kim!

The academic advisor is not very helpful. I can never get of hold of him when I need him.
