This was one of the worst jobs I ever had. Extremely unorganized and a huge communication gap. Many of the students and student workers complained about the management. During the interview, they told me one job description. But when I was hired it turned out to be way more. They have no problem sending you to the wolves to meet their goals. Which is why they are 'for profit.' There is little to no support staff on campus and they expect you to be a self learner. Be aware. They offer the sign on bonus but have no problem letting you go so you have to pay them back. Because it is a lump sum check, the government will take 35% of the check for taxes. And when the college demands their money back, YOU have to pay back those taxes. So, you actually lose money. They have had the same job postings for months and even well over a year. Because nobody local wants to work for them. So, they have to reach out of state to hire hoping people do not know their reputation.

I applied at Rasmussen University in Ocala Florida School of Design after speaking to the student administrator/advisor. I started in 10/2021 and attended for 9 weeks before withdrawing. I transferred with an A.S. degree in Graphic Design for Print, with a goal of obtaining a B.A. degree in Graphic Design. Before signing the student application, I made it clear that I was widowed, disabled, and on a fixed income. I was adamant that I was not going to apply for a Federal Student Loan and didn’t apply. I did apply for the 2021 FASFA, which I did receive. I was told that there were grants and scholarships that would help supplement the cost combined with the FASFA. Nearly six weeks into the 11-week semester, I realized that I had been manipulated and deceived. At that point, I was given a 5 ½ week semester, which was unexpected. Therefore, I was a week late for the semester, which left me very far behind in the short semester. This made it impossible for me to catch up. According to the student catalog, you must make payment arrangements prior to the start of the semester, and it is the administrators that take care of the details of the financial part of your education. So, when I received a call from my student administrator/advisor and was told everything was good to go, it was implied to me that financially, everything was squared away. I had asked repeatedly to speak with the Financial Aid office but was to discover that there was no such office available to students. Eventually, I would discover that there is only a collection department once they contacted me informing me there was a balanced owed. When I contacted my student administrator/advisor, he told me that my paperwork was probably lost and not to contact the collection department. “Don’t worry about it. Everything is taken care of,” he said. This suggested to me that grants and scholarships had not yet been applied to my account. Rasmussen has been an ongoing nightmare for me, from moving me from the University of Design in Florida to Minnesota, overcharges on my account, to insisting I sign up for a Federal Student loan because President Biden was going to issue a Federal Student Loan forgiveness program. Silent videos inside lectures from LinkedIn Learning, 6:30 a.m. phone calls to be hung up on, threatening emails to pay my bill when I had just made a payment. My active student email has recently been deleted, yet my Dropbox is still accessible and is attached to the student email. The email was the way I was making monthly payments. My student email was deleted after I was informed that an investigation by BPPE, the Department of Consumer Affairs, was being launched into Rasmussen University. There is only an implied contract and nothing in writing. The only contract available is in the student application, which pertains to Federal Loans, not personal payments. I was also told by three different people that payments would be applied to my credit score, and this has not happened yet. Update: As I was writing this, I received an email stating that “We do not report to credit bureaus”, only if you miss a payment, I was told and harassed with emails, and early phone calls ending with a hang-up. And “We do not provide any formal statements, letters, etc. regarding the payment arrangement. We offer students to make payments as a courtesy.” This is in response to an email I sent requesting to have my payments applied to my credit and a statement of understanding. I recently spoke with a pro-Bono contract attorney who told me that Rasmussen must supply a Statement of Understanding so that they cannot just do things “Willy Nilly”. Nothing I have received in this recent email is written in the student application or the student catalog. I have received nothing in writing that I will be paying over the phone since I no longer have access to my student email. Rasmussen University has poor business practices and at the end of the day, it comes down to Buyer Beware. So, heed my warning and stay far away from Rasmussen University.

Why give a study guide when you know you don’t have control over the exam? It is terrible that instructor will give you a study guide and none of the stuff came out. Why not let the students study wide. Nothing in the study guide came out. What is the point of assignment if they really don’t count towards passing. That time we spent on assignment can be pull towards studying for exam. If assignment don’t help you pass

You get out of it what you put into it. Majored in Finance and got a 80k financial analyst position for a fortune 200 company two months after graduating. 7 months 10 days later got promoted and will make 100k this year if you include bonuses.

Stay far away from this school they lack integrity and honesty.I just finished my first quarter took 3 classes and they failed me in one course do to a nuty instructor who was incompetent and dishonest.I had my choice of attending 5 nursing schools and I chose Rasmussen huge mistake.I came into the school with a 92% on my teas exam and a stellar GPA yes 92% top one percent in the country.Rasmussen only requires a 65% on the tease.After getting this grade and trying to have the advisor two dean's address this issue all I got from them is dishonesty.Do not trust this school with your future you will be rolling the dice I'm trying now to transfer to another school I am absolutely sickened by them cheating me out of a grade and my money my advice to all the folks who have been screwed by Rasmussen is to contact the medical board of Minnesota and file a formal complaint contact a Miss Marilyn krasowski she handles these issues also go online and expose this school for what it is A HUGE SCAM leave reviews online everywhere Facebook Instagram all the nursing boards online give detailed information as what the school has done to you I will be setting up a Facebook group for scammed students by Rasmussen so please look out for that in the next few days and join I am determined to teach this school a lesson that they cannot step on folks scam them rip them off and get away with it ,good luck to all and cheers !!!!!

I just completed this first semester at Rasmussen and I am contemplating changing colleges while now before I waste all my time, money and energy. I completed pathophysiology, all my assignments were at 100% however my exam scores were below the 78% threshold. Therefore I failed the entire class. I missed this by 4 questions. First this class is taught soley online, the instructor taught from power points that had minimally covered the context on the exams. I attended each and every class, did my reading and felt fairly confident I would do well had I not I would have dropped like the rest did. That's the other point about 1/2 the class dropped right away the ones that stayed lots failed. They won't show or tell you what you got wrong. You are left with the option of moving forward, retaking the class and hope to hell to don't fail another cause then you are kicked out of the program and all your time and money gone, you simply can't transfer these credits. I feel that if your going to commit to Rasmussen they should give you options to complete the program fully. I am just questioning this school - to me it seems that are just taken your money. Personally I am not sure I want to travel down that road.

This is my second review and I am closing in on being done at Rasmussen. I have been hesitant to divulge my identity to the people who have reached out from Rasmussen due to the fear of retaliation by instructors. I did have communication at one point and thought I would have a phone conversation, but that has not happened. Regardless, I am nearing the end, thank goodness. Most recently the lack of equitable treatment has been unbelievable. Blaine campus, new instructor, cannot complete skills assessments timely and in the class time (despite other instructors being able to do so). Therefore the balance of the class is being told that anyone who has not completed their skills assessment has less than half the time of those who completed in classes prior. And if the skills assessment isn't completed prior to the "12 minutes" that those points will be lost. This, after the first half of the class was allowed at least 20 - 25 minutes per person to complete the same assessment. This is likely related to her being a new instructor, first class ever taught, who doesn't know how to organize the class time. Should this impact the balance of the classes grades inequitably, each student should file an appeal. We all work hard, all pay the same enormous prices, yet due to a disorganized new instructor, some people may be penalized unfairly. This is not exactly unique. The lack of experience/knowledge and responsiveness of some of these instructors is really sad and costly.

I have attended previous colleges before and Rasmussen is by far the best I have been to. I was on a waiting list for 2 years with a prior college for their nursing program, started looking around at other colleges, and found Rasmussen. I applied in February, was accepted in March, and started classes in April! Now I am on track to graduate in June of 2023! I must say one of the best things about Rasmussen is the Admissions Advisors, specifically Stacey Willard!! She has worked with me every step of the way! I feel like I am a very organized person but she was so amazing in keeping up with me and helping make sure I had everything needed and submit throughout the whole process, even now as a current student she is STILL working with me and helping me with any questions I have! Also, I have never been a part of a school that truly feels like they care about their student's success. Every single one of my professors (I'm taking 5 classes this quarter) has worked with us in-depth, making sure we understand what is expected of us and doing everything they can to help ensure we pass our boards on the first try. I truly mean that they have overachieved with student success. I have a classmate that was not computer savvy and the teacher stayed after class to show her how to navigate the platform. I am so amazed at the amount of support I have had so far in my program. I would 100% recommend Rasmussen University in Florida to anyone!
