My family and I are at the point where we are considering legal council for the fraudulent ways of this so called "school" and would greatly appreciate it if anyone else who would like to join or have considered getting a CASE ACTION SUIT against SHC then please email
[email protected] with information you think is important as well as your experiences with the school. PS. please make sure the email subject matter makes it known that the email is regarding action against SHC!!! This school needs to fall back into it's rightful place and stop taking advantage of all the people it is currently taking advantage of now!!!
I was a recent student with SHC and was dismissed on Feb. 28, 2012 this year. When I started the paperwork for this school I should have known it was a sham. I started paperwork for this so called "school" May 23, 2011 for a Bachelor's in Computer Science and my first start date was June 20, 2011. Now during the process of filing papers I was still in HS so I was actually working towards my HS diploma, it came closer to the first start date and I was contacted to discuss either holding off on the Bachelors degree until the fall or to switch programs to an Associate's in Graphic Arts because something "magically" happened with my financing. I then had to go through the enrollment process 2 more times before they actually got it right and in doing so I was in and out of classes due to the system kicking me out and getting the wrong classes due to a mix up in paperwork where they still had me listed as a Computer Science student. I let them know i was having issues with getting into the courses and that they would change every so often and was told that they would look into it.
Now with me starting paperwork in May, I didn't get my first book until August which was another "fun" month for me and my family. I live in NC and in August of 2011 Hurricane Irene was knocking on our doors and heading to the Eastern Seaboard and boy did she tear us up! My county was listed as a natural disaster area and my family was without electricity for a little over a week where we spent the time sawing down larger pieces of wood to make a fire to keep warm and cook all the food that would go bad. On August 25, 2011 I sent emails to several people letting them know about Hurricane Irene and that when it gets here it would be hard for me to complete school work until after the fact. On August 26, 2011 I received an email from ONE of the financial advisers telling me I had to sign some papers ( I HAD FILLED OUT THE DEPENDENT PAPERS 4-6 TIMES BEFORE AND YET AGAIN I HAVE FILL OUT THE FORM AGAIN!!!) so I filled out the form again in order to receive the computer for me to use and was told after that he would get back to me. August 27, 2011 Hurricane Irene started to tear up the Eastern Seaboard. (PART OF MY DISMISSAL AND DENIAL OF APPEAL WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE CONCRETE DOCUMENTATION... HOW DO YOU PHYSICALLY SEND IN EVIDENCE OF A HURRICANE???) September 04, 2011 I sent out an email to the financial adviser asking if he knew anything about the laptop, September 05, 2011 he replied and told me that I had been cleared for the laptop since August 25, 2011, and on September 06, 2011 my Academic Adviser sent an email saying I had been cleared.
Now I have been cleared since August and they tell me in September that I am clear and I didn't get the computer I needed for my classes and programs until the end of September. To this day I had had issues with the classes changing every two weeks for the most part and other classes I couldn't even get into because the systems would not let me get in them and said that I was not qualified to get in the class followed by the tech support and advisers telling me I can't take the classes yet. I personally don't see how a student can make good grades when the system and advisers continue to pull the student out of classes and make them restart them 2 and 3 times.
According to them for about 7 months now I owe 10, 000 when they sent a tax thing stating they have used 11, 000 which 5, 500 came out of due to a pell grant... so if indeed they used 11, 000 and I owe 10, 000 that comes to 21, 000 when my course itself is 39, 000 which means for 9 classes they had me do repeatedly I have incurred most of my tuition and course costs and I still have 20 classes to do. I recently received an email telling me that they used 3, 500 from one loan and 1, 200 from another loan and in my statements it showed that for the current year expenses were 8, 900... HOW IN THE WORLD DO THEY FIGURE I OWE THEM MORE THAN WHAT THEY HAD ALREADY TAKEN OUT??!!?! Please get back to us if you would like to continue with action against this SHC!
