Terrible student finance support. I've been attending this school since the beginning of 2022. Every time I get a Pell Grant disbursement I have to call and make sure I can get that money disbursed to me. If I don't they'll keep the money without saying a word. My tuition is covered by the VR&E program yet my account balance is absurdly high. Every time I call the financial aid department for an explanation their representatives act like they no nothing nor have the knowledge to correct a mistake. My academic/financial advisor is terrible at getting back to me. I called and emailed about a month ago only for her to barely call me back yesterday with no results. If it wasn't for my VR&E program keeping me in their bachelor's program I would have tried my best to transfer out already. There's been countless times where their financial aid representatives say they will call me back with answers but I never receive a call back. I have to follow up just to make sure they're doing their job properly.

If you're looking for easy If you're looking for easy, online learning, this is it. If you're looking for an in-depth learning experience that will leave you fully prepared to confidently enter your career field, you'll need to do a lot of learning on your own. Also, "hybrid" learning means only one in-person class a month. :/

My application/interview experience My application/interview experience at National University: The second round interview panel acted like they didn't want to be there, as if they were just going through the motions. They were very non-responsive/nonreactive to my answers to their interview questions until I explicitly asked for feedback toward the end of the interview. I specifically asked how I stack up against other candidates, and a senior executive said point blank that I would be a good diversity hire (I'm a black woman). Long application/interview process (1 month between each step: application > first interview > second interview), with very poor communication/ghosting from both the HR rep and the hiring manager between steps. At the end of the day, I was able to learn more about the role and it prepped me to interview for similar roles at other companies. So that's a silver lining :)

Choose a different school Very difficult to get a hold of anyone . If you are using a VA benefit , it takes FOREVER for them to process payments . Their masters of science in instructional technology program is a waste of time . It is all self teaching with WAY too much information. Every class is extremely repetitive . Department for graduation is a nightmare, there is no way to get a hold of them or have them return a call .

Highly recommend this academic institution Great classes. Pace is fast but I will meet my academic goals much faster than semester system. Professors have been supportive, knowledgeable, and professional. It can be challenging working full-time but with proper time- management, it is doable.
