i am currently a student. this is my second year attending. first of let me say they told me i was not eligible for a laptop because i have already received one from them. that is not true. when i went the first year they didn't even have the laptop program. and they wanted me to pay for one out of my student loans. no thanks. second of all they over charge for any program that you decide to pick. they blocked me from there Facebook page because i was telling the truth. all they care about is money. lastly they told me that my second semester is not cover by my fincial aid or grants so they want me to come out of pocket for the schooling. you shouldn't have to pay anything back until you have graduated. and i cant afford to pay anything even if i wanted too. i only get ssi and I'm struggling to pay bills with just my ssi. i might just drop out and say forget it. this is not worth the hassle. i recommended my mom but i am abouts to tell her don't do it. and then when i graduated last time they put i dropped out instead of graduating on my finical aid and that took a big hit to my credit. this school is a pos.

This is literally the school from hell. They are very disorganized and only care about getting your money. I’m currently a student and wish I never was recommended to this school. The staff is nasty(not all of them), I asked for assistance to transfer my credits before classes had started (classes started in December , I signed up in November) they wouldn’t help me . The advisor I currently have overbearing and doesn’t respect boundaries. Uma cares is the worst department throughout the damn school. I’ve never experienced nothing like this in my life with any other school. If you are really interested in going to school PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SCHOOL. This school had my relative go on multiple job interviews where the job didn’t even know my relative was coming. Uma didn’t even take accountability for sending her to the unknown interview (which she was crying of embarrassment).

Where do I start, First off all the employees lie when you speak with them, half of them don’t know anything you ask, reading from a script. No authenticity. You only get digital books that you can’t download. The instructors never have live class. Financial aid staff is a joke- always saying the back room does everything and you can’t talk to those people. I kept telling them that I was going to withdraw and go to a real college- I have finally Withdrawn and now they trying to keep my loan money.

Hi, I enrolled in UMA in March. My main issue is Financial Aid. They are extremely dishonest. I am a person who honors being truthful. Every single person I spoke with completely lied about the deadline TIME for me to submit documents needed in order to continue on with class. I worked my butt off to make sure my first week was amazing, only to be let down. The actual cut off time for me to submit forms was 12 noon. Not 12midnight! Even when I called that night asking for help, the representative said “your deadline is midnight”. Well I got everything done before that time. And this morning I got a call saying my enrollment was canceled and now I’ll have to start over next week! April 7th!!!!! I’m not sure what the problem is with communication on Financial Aids part! But do better! You have us promise to be honest and yet you ALL are extremely dishonest and very misleading! So what if others have gotten mad about the real deadlines. You were honest and did the best you could. But to lie!!!!!! That’s a major 🚩. New training is needed and if people cannot be honest, then maybe the job isn’t for them! I’m extremely pissed. No apology is needed, I’m big on action. It’s evident Finance department fumbles the ball. So what can UMA do better to make sure their staff is well equipped and qualified for the job? So if a response is posted, you can skip past the empathetic part… just explain how the Department can become more truthful and not misguide students. Noon and midnight are two different things. Y’all were completely wrong in this case. It’s almost like the agenda was, let’s get all her tax information, worry her about XYZ…. So how about make sure the financial aid is fully completed, then start students?! That would make more sense right?!?

UMA is a scam!! Me and my husband graduated last May from Medical billing and coding, we have yet to find a job, Paul and Dennis wear out our phones saying they are trying to find us jobs, but it is always jobs that we didn't go to school for. Plus, every application I feel out gets turned down. Me and my husband have given up on UMA helping us find a job. Nothing but a scam and wasted of our time and money when we keep getting turned down for not having enough experience.

I’ve had the most infuriating experience with Ultimate Medical Academy (UMA). Since September 2024, UMA has refused to verify my enrollment with the VA, repeatedly asking for transcripts from a school I never attended. Despite 5 parchment transcripts that state I never attended a school, the school they claim I went to emailing UMA directly and sending a certified enrollment verification form from the administration team that has a certified seal and signatures on it that stated I never attended the school, and an email directly from the admissions team to UMA....nothing has been good enough Their military advisors are unhelpful and seem to lack basic knowledge or competence. Due to UMA's incompetence, I now have a debt with the VA and have had to re-pay over $1200 back. The 9+ phone calls and numerous emails I've made to fix the issue all resulted in false assurances, with UMA later saying the issue wasn’t fixed, only to find out the person I spoke to never gave me complete or correct information. I’m using VA benefits, but UMA is trying to make me pay for everything, claiming I'm not eligible for benefits because they refuse to accept ANY documentation that proves I never attended the school they are claiming I did. I called the VA and confirmed that my enrollment verification form is perfectly acceptable. Yet, UMA still won’t certify my enrollment. I WOULD NOT recommend this school! I hope NO military member, veteran, or civilian ever attends this school. They're only interested in getting more money from people than providing proper service. I’ll let this go on my credit before giving them another dime and I will be posting on all social media that I can find to never attend this school! Also, during the first 2 months of school, they harass you with numerous phone calls and emails and wont stop until you've answered all their questions! They call like 3 times a day!

The job placement is a joke, I have never been able to find a job in coding and billing due to not having any experience the career services people almost lost me a job I found in chart prep, no help ever. they don't return phone calls. I wasted time and money, don't let the people that work here fool you they can't do what they tell you.

If you are looking for a job I suggest you apply for fast food and if you’re looking for a school then I suggest a community college. This entire company is a FRAUD! Every role offered is fake from advisors to financial aid reps the only thing that is real will be the debt you accumulate from enrolling here. If you still try to apply and get the position don’t trust anyone and use it for a temporary source of income ONLY!
