    I can't complaint about the education received from GCU. I complete my Masters Degree in just 1 year and three months. Sometimes I had little or non important issues with getting help from the advisor, but that kind of situation happens even with the face-to-face university systems. The quality of education is excellent!

    Agree with Anne O on the topic of GCU's practices and policies. After being enfrolled in the On-line Graduate program in the College of Education for a Special Education Degree, I too have the experience of my Academic Counselor NOT calling me back when I had some issues that needed to be addressed. After calling the Provost's Office, did I get a response from the Counselor, but it was too late to disenroll from the University's program without financial and academic consequences. Now I am being forced to complete a course that I wanted to disenroll from. The technical support is good, they do call back the students, however in the beginning, there were off-shore Advisors who could not speak English very well. The University does not mentor their current students at all. Basically, it is up to the student to find their own support and resources after enrolling in the University and the money is sent to the University from the lending institution.

    This college may offer excellent courses, but be very careful if you have to drop a class. The school ignores requests for crediting tuition. The business office is extremely disorganized and inefficient. It is very difficult to get someone to call you back if you have a problem with online billing. It is possible to call the school dozens of times and still not get an issue resolved. There is no one person that you can count on to get an issue resolved.
