I have to say I contacted this college in September. It took over a month for anyone to handle any of the proper professional protocol. I was continuously told that my transcripts had not arrived! Come to find out they had been there for over a month after continuously telling them that I have a receipt stating that they did receive them in September ,then last week my advisor asked me am I available to start on Monday? I’m thinking everything’s good to go since I waited an entire month. Signed enrollment paperwork and said someone would contact me to enroll me. I have messaged everyone, and nobody ever responds. I was supposed to start Monday I don’t know if I go to school here or not because I don’t even have anybody to tell me what the heck is going on at this school. Definitely feel discouraged and definitely feel the need to file a formal complaint with the board of education or whoever I have to because this is very unprofessional. It’s been two days now, but I was supposed to be attending classes and enrollment specialist has done none of her part or no one has even explained anything to me about my financial aid and financial aid paperwork has been there for a month. This is the worst experience I have ever experienced and I have been in three colleges. I’ve never seen such a huge lack of professionalism or follow through! But I guarantee that bill would be due! Wondering what Excuse my advisor will for me tomorrow. Who told me that he personally had somebody watching over? Lies!! Do not enroll here if you are looking for professionalism if the relationship starts off bad whether it is a person or a school or a company that is exactly who they show you they are through the entire relationship! Planning on dis-enrolling myself tomorrow. I would like to update this review, although there were some challenges with getting enrolled. Those issues have been resolved and now I will give you a review now that I have been in the class for two weeks. I am very, very happy now I happen to love how you’re not overwhelmed with 12 units in a semester, you get one class and you’re able to focus on that one class it is quite different compared to a typical college. I actually think this format of how national university runs their courses to me. Seems like it would be a Perfect way to be successful! Within this place of learning, everything seems to be mapped out for you. The rest is up to you to go and get it! But they make that even easier for you to do. I have Attended community college and a university college national University’s format for their bachelors program or masters program, Makes it almost impossible, Not to succeed! The way it is set up. You are still able to do school. Take care of home and work.

I completed my doctorate of education degree on line. The program was challenging. However, the school provides so much support through the academic center. The professor are top-notch and welcome you to meet with them to make sure you understand each assignment. I highly recommend National University.

Its becoming clear that National University is concerned for its Alumni and wants to develop a family atmosphere with all of it students and former students. I did not realize this before; it was not part of my initial experience.

Most of my professors were amazing. I had incredible support as a student. My work load wasn’t overwhelming and I enjoyed my classes.

The professors were excellent. It felt like they really cared about me and my progress, I wasn’t just a number in the class. The student teaching professors were exceptionally amazing! Trying to get questions answered by my credential program or any other department was a headache. It took multiple emails and weeks of go around before I would get an answer from people. It was very very frustrating and one of the biggest reasons I hesitate to recommend this school.

I finished my BA with National and am 9 months into my Masters program in School Counseling. Getting enrolled can be a complicated process. It was like this for myself and both my step-sons. You don't ever get just 1 person assigned to you. Every time you call, you get a new person and that can get a little frustrating. There is also not a Dean or someone you can talk to if you are having issues. There is also a high turn-around of employees and I think things get lost in the mix. On the flip side, 95% of the professors are super awesome! I LOVE the fast paced schedule of National. It can be expensive but I was able to get in on a special. If you work full time and need to get your degree quickly, I do suggest National. I am overall very happy with National. There are just some kinks that I think need to be worked out on the administrative side.

Two classes in and my experience has been pleasant

I'm an alumni returning after almost 20 years to get a master's degree. The schedule of one class a month works very well for me; although, the amount of reading and assignments required in a week's time can be overwhelming and sometimes just unattainable with work and other responsibilities, but the bright side is that before you know it, the class is over. Most of the instructors are very knowledgeable and accommodating and make themselves available for guidance, but there are some who are not. I wish National would require instructors to have one zoom session a week or at least bi-weekly. Some of the material covered in classes has allowed me to apply it in my work environment almost immediately, making the experience quite fulfilling.
