I am new student to UMA my experience has been a complete nightmare. I have courses from another that could have transferred but they tell me although it's the same class we go over different stuff. The lies you all tell. Financial aid department has no clue what they are doing. I had to sign my paperwork 5 times. Then was told any funding left over I need to apply for. Never heard of that usually when there is money left over the student decides what they want to do with the money not the school..And it should not take 4-6 weeks for students to get the funds if you all get the funding on the 13th. What are you all really doing with our funds. Also what told it would be one class per semester on a full-time schedule they lied. I'm taking 2 classes which makes it hard to work and do school work with two classes. That's a setup for failure especially when you are an A student. I give double zero stars.

I highly do not recommend this school they judge you based off your knowledge on those 3 tests you have to do instead of helping you advance I felt like they judged me off my scores and dropped all my classes , did not call me and I remember a Donna told me that it goes based off what I know did not mention my glasses will be dropped and that's because I was passing all my classes , Never will recommend this school to anyone.

I attended from 2012-14. After completing, got sent on interviews that had nothing to do with curriculum. Never got a job through them. Waste of time. If I thought I could get a refund I'd pursue. Don't waste your time with UMA.

Uma dropped me my 5 or 6th week even though my grades were amazing because they said my financial aid failed through. I sacrificed 5-6 weeks with my toddler because I was reading my book from beginning to end and completing the assignments. The financial staff at uma are cold and only care about their status.

ZERO STARS! I enrolled, had my 1st day of courses, then go to find out I was discharged from the school all together. With out one word, no email, no phone calls to notify me if this horrible news! They decided to drop me as a student because I have a mild criminal record. Mind you I had taken all the consequences of my choices....however it's absolutely absurd for a college to handle a situation in this manner. They are also on the federal student aid list for horrible schools and are borderline fraudulent with the admission, tuition and their fees. LOOK ELSE WHERE FOR YOUR EDUCATION!

If I could give zero stars I would. I started school in 2015 for Patient Care Technician because they told me I could be a Phlebotomist. The teachers, if you want to call them that, told us, the students, that going to this school you would start out at $18 an hour. I was young and pretty stupid. I even did research because I was worried about being scammed. When I was finishing the program, I had to take an exam for my CNA license not Phlebotomy. They never told us we weren't going to be PCT, or able to become Phlebotomist, that we had to take a certification until the month before graduating. When I applied to be a Phlebotomist, places I went to told me I need a certification and over 100 sticks. When I told them where I went to school, I was told to not mention that school since most places will not hire UMA graduates due to their reputation of unprofessional and lazy students. When I went back speak to the counselors of UMA, they said I should do the Medical Assistant program because they were able to draw blood in doctors offices and that would help me. I believed them again on their lies. Again stupidity on my part. I owe a lot in student loans, and they took over half my federal pell grant. Money I can never get back to use at a real college. I wish I never left SPC.

I graduated the medical billing and coding program and no one accepts this degree to work in the field. It’s completely useless. In addition I am working on my Bachelors degree and none of the credits were accepted for a related degree. It’s a rip off for 20,000.

I attended their program for medical billing. There were only two maybe three courses out of two years of classes that actually covered medical billing. They had me do a class on how to create an office newsletter. There were many other courses that did not focus on medical billing. Waste of time!! What the feck? It's not a comprehensive program. I have a useless associates degree and student debt. I got pressured to quit my job and interview with jobs they thought I should be doing that were less pay and had nothing to do with medical billing. They did not teach me what was promised as an outcome for program completion. Do not engage with them.
