I attended DEVRY between January 2010 and September 2013 I dropped out due to the fact that I wasn't learning anything. The teaching staff for my degree kept telling me to go to scribe d and copy former student work when I asked for help. There needs to be legal representation for us that did not graduate as well someone please help us fight devry as well.

Upon graduating in computer science, he could not find a job which paid enough in 1985. $18,000 was a lot back then. He went into default. Fast forward 33 years, he owes $58,000. He paid when he could and it’s accumulated over the years. He’s been paying the last 15 years or so.

Devry obviously has an awful reputation now that should be as good as no degree. It didn’t land him a job as they said it would. And this is the only collection that has hurt him over the years. We had to do everything in my moms name. But before that, due to bad credit he was turned down for jobs and couldn’t refinance his house, etc. It’s cost him a lot of financial burden.

Does anyone know if he has a case still? If it was before 1985. He does say they misrepresented themselves and exaggerated the promised income even back then.

I'm currently with devry online and they're scamming me out of money, not teaching us anything. They only tell us to read, watch a video, take a quiz, do homework etc and we basically have to learn everything on our own when you're in the computer science field. We need to do a lawsuit. This isn't right for the students that a currently there.

I graduated with a Masters in Public Administration specialization Healthcare in 2014. I haven’t got a job in the field. I tried to go through the Devry career portal and still no luck. I feel like I wasted a lot of time with this school and making the same pay a person with no degree.

Graduated in 2012, haven't got a job in Accounting yet, I've never even broke the pay scale they told me I would be making after I graduated. I was supposed to have 36k in loans by actually have 65k. What a waste!

NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston and Wolf Haldenstein Alder Freeman & Hertz LLC announce that a class action lawsuit has been filed against DeVry Education Group, Inc. (NYSE:DV), DeVry University, Inc. and DeVry/New York Inc. (collectively, “DeVry”) in United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, on behalf of all persons in the United States who obtained a degree from DeVry and did not find a job in their field of study within six months of graduation.

The Complaint alleges that one of DeVry’s key messages to prospective students was that obtaining a DeVry degree is highly likely to result in obtaining a desirable job soon after graduation in that student’s chosen field of study. The Complaint alleges that for many years, one of the primary methods by which DeVry conveyed this message was through a representation to students that 90% of DeVry graduates who were actively seeking employment obtained new jobs in their field of study within six months of graduation. The Complaint further alleges that the actual percentage of DeVry graduates who, within six months of the time that time they graduated, could reasonably be considered to be employed “in their field” was and is markedly below 90%.

If you wish to join the litigation, or to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Thomas J. McKenna, Esq. or Gregory M. Egleston, Esq. of Gainey McKenna & Egleston at (212) 983-1300, or via e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected] or Carl Malmstrom, Esq. of Wolf Haldenstein Alder Freeman & Hertz LLC at (312) 984-0000, or via e-mail at [email protected].

When I went to DEVRY University in 2003 and went there thinking I would get a job. I did graduate in 2007. My mom died a month after started school. They had times i felt because of my Special Needs they sometimes I felt stupid and retarded because I don't fast like every student who get the part time jobs and internships. People who average less than 2.50 get treated like trash like me. I do think they should be closed down immediately. If people like me who can't jobs and i talk to my private loans lenders my financial situations they never about me. I cannot get my transcripts. I not only feel that should block not me getting my transcripts. I also feel that should be closed down for good and, they should cancel students private loans and if possible federal loans. They be given grants only. There had been indirectly being compared to other people because they 100 times than me. It makes me feel retarded and stupid and I got more frustrated and angry at them and myself.

I began attending Devry in 2011. When I spoke to the admissions rep, I told her that my ultimate goal was to go to law school. She said that was not a problem. I just needed a Bachelors Degree, it could be in basket weaving, but needed a Bachelors degree in something. I researched a lot of law schools and they all preferred not to have a criminal justice background but a Bachelors was required (didnt matter the subject). I, in turn, began classes for Management with a concentration in Accounting. During my whole time there, I was always asking if I was on the right track and was told yes. I was told that if I got good grades, I could get into almost any law school. BOY WAS THAT A LIE! I graduated 3 years later (2014). I was told that after I received my degree, that I would not have any problem finding a job and that I would make more money than someone with a degree from one of the local colleges or universities. I have spent the last 2 years looking for a job! The jobs that I could get were going to pay me the same as someone else walking in off of the street without a degree (generally, about $10 p/h). I decided last month that since I could not find a job, I would go ahead and go to law school. WELL, that has not happened either. After speaking with 3 different law schools, none of them would accept a degree of any type from DeVry! I have $65k+ in student loans (maxed out for undergrad) and used all of my PELL Grant in the 3 years at DeVry so I have no financial aid left to use. I now have to go to another university AND pay for another Bachelors Degree before I can go to law school! My husband and I only have one income so needless to say, I am trying to figure out how I am going to accomplish this. Especially since my student loans are in repayment at $489 per month! I have recently been able to put them in forebearance but the interest is still accruing so the debt is getting bigger and bigger! We will manage, and I will get my degree from a REAL university and it will take me another 2 years. I cannot get private loans (and at this point dont know if I want to). DeVry is a scam and are frauds and I would advise EVERYONE to stay away from them! My husband was also a student there and maxed all of his stuff out in less than 2 years so he is $57k in student loans and has also maxed out his PELL and he did not even finish his degree!!
I am going to look into the class action lawsuit against DeVry but am very leery of anything that has to do with them at this point. They are slick and they try to cover their butts so I dont know what success a lawsuit will have. If anyone knows of an attorney that has been successful with any lawsuits against DeVry, please let me know.

I began school at DeVry University in 2008. I was newly married with 3 children and chose to use my time as a stay at home mom to get a degree. I used DeVry online because it was flexible and I was not able to step foot in a classroom. I was told to go for my Associates Degree first and then continue on for my Bachelors. I finished my Associates in Accounting Technology in 2012...yes it took me 4 years because my advisors told me that's all I could afford...in 2013 I decided to go back and work towards my Bachelors. I got through 1 semester and when I called back to register for my next session...guess what???? Oh.. I was out of money from FAFSA and my grants. Mind you I had grants from DeVry for being on the deans list and graduating with honors for my Associates Degree. You CANNOT and I repeat CANNOT get a good paying job or even an ok paying job with just an Associates Degree....its like only having a high school diploma. Continuing on...I wanted to finish my degree but have been unable to since the whole entire time I was attending DeVry they were taking money from me and I now have a debt of $69,450 for an Associates Degree...I could have a doctorate for that much money and I simply have an Associates and a little over half of my Bachelors Degree. All I want is to finish school and get a degree to provide for my family. I work at a school making $17,000 a year and cant even afford to make a payment on my student loans. It is horrible that this school is able to ruin peoples lives just for the sake of becoming rich. This "College" is a SCAM, CHEAT, UNRELIABLE, heap of CRAP!!!! I just want my Bachelors Degree and to only be charged the amount of money for the degree I have.

I went back to school in 2008 to DeVry because of the accelerated class schedule so that I could get my Bachelor's Degree in Business with an emphasis in Accounting. The sole purpose of me going back to school was so that I could become a CPA. In 2009 the CPA exam requirements were changed. Instead of needing 120 credits to sit for the exam you needed 150 credits to be able to sit for the exam. I decided since all I wanted was to become a CPA I would go ahead and continue on with my Master's degree in Accounting and Financial Management so that I could sit for the exam. I graduated with my Maters's degree in 2013. Through all of my Bachelor's program and my Master's program I continually asked my Academic Counselor if I was on the right track and taking everything I need to so that I could take the CPA exam. I was told repeatedly that I was taking all the correct courses. I finally had the time to go ahead and sit for the CPA exam so I applied with my state. I paid for the application fee, the first exam, all of my transcripts to be sent to them, a new book to study from, and I had to pay to have a picture taken of me to send to the Board. After all of the schooling, thousands of dollars in debt, and the new expenses I incurred I was told I was ineligible to take the CPA exam. The Board said I was missing credits so I didn't have the 150 I needed to sit for the exam. Some of the classes they said I was missing DeVry/Keller doesn't even offer.

Has this situation happened to anyone else?

I have $120,000 in student debt from Devry and Keller. I graduated with the promise of a better career that would eventually let me pay off my enormous student loan debt. Unfortunately, nobody wants a Keller or Devry Graduate. I have applied and applied, with great experience and two degrees, who could not get a job in their field with an MBA...ME! This is horrible, I make my $350 payment each month, I am on the pay as you earn program, but every time I look at my balance it just goes up and up and up. I cant get out of it, its a horrible burden that I am honestly trying to get out from under, but Devry just kept on taking and I have never gotten anything in return but a half rate stupid education that I would have been better off not even getting. What a shame and what a waste, they didn't even spell my name right on my Diploma, bunch of half-wits just out for themselves! I would gladly join a class action if it came down to it! I am beyond frustrated with all of this. We all pay and pay, and for what? Going to Devry has been the biggest regret in my life, I wish I never would have ever even enrolled, my student loan debt is ruining my life. Ian

I have an outstanding balance with this horrific place and keep getting billed for it i will not pay that "Collage" a penny of my money cause of what they did what do i need to do to make that balance go away it is unfair.

I went for two seminars when i started getting bills. I couldn't get anyone to return my calls i mostly took online because i live so far from their campus. It took them 2 semesters to tell me they were not excepting any of my credits transfer from another school. So I was starting all over. If they except those credits I only needed a few classes. When i signed up they said we will transfer all of them. So now i owe 13,000. Student loan and I received pell grant. Plus they are sending me bills for another 1300. My loan went into default because they had the wrong address and number. I have not move or change my number. And it was right when i was attending.

I went to devry for about 3 semesters, I had plenty of monies available, they took all my money, and said that I don't have any money left. I went to another school and had some monies left. They lied, they manipulated me into registering, just crooks that is all I can say. No degree, NO money left I'm tired of crooked companies.
