Edgewood College/UpGrad DBA; potentially $11,250

[lidel]

I am supposed to be starting the DBA program at Edgewood at the end of this month and just wanted to share some of my early experience.
Having read the feedback about the UpGrad support I thought “Oh it will be ok!” My initial experience was smooth. The enrolment person was fast and helpful. Once I registered it all changed. I have been emailing back and forward with their support now and no one seems to answer the question asked. Something has gone wrong between Edgewood and UpGrad and if they don’t fix it soon I am not sure if I will be able to start this month, despite having been registered for a month.
So just be forewarned, the communication issues everyone warned us about do exist!

Hey. I'm sorry to hear about the experience you are having. My UpGrad experience is typically the same, though thankfully the Edgewood end of things is substantially better.

Fingers crossed, it works out for you.

Thank you, I’m glad to hear the Edgewood side is much better! One thing I was amazed they couldn’t give me was a course sequence/calendar. I just wanted to get a feel for the timing and order of classes but UpGrad have repeatedly turned down my requests!
