JWMI MBA Program - My experience so far

Also if they free course is though a certain for profit school whose name starts with D. Don't do it!! And if its another school proceed with caution.

I worked a job where I got a free course with them. I did it and it was horrible. Course was not good quality and did not transfer to CC, 4 yr UNI or TESU. (Transferred to all but only as free elective despite course number and name supposedly seeming like it would work). I had more than enough free electives. By the time I figured this out I was informed if I dropped the class I'd have to pay the full tution. So I stuck it out and did the bare minmum work since there was not point and somehow failed despite I should have gotten a C- according to my calculations but I didn't care or want to deal with the horrible communciation. And not mention in order to take the free course I had to meet with an enrollment and listen to them pitch me how it would "only" be $30k to finish my bachelors. I was told I first person they ever heard of to only do the free course. Apprarently others had done the course but took a larger load (ex 3 courses but only had to pay for 2 cause first one is free). They never heard of a case like me so they werent willing to help me that much.

I never paid a dime for the course. But now I have to $20 everytime I appy for any grad school or more undergrad fo comply with clearing house standards to send a pointless 3cr F grade.

Thanks for the heads up.  I am sure it is the same school.  I did check with my advisor to see if the course would transfer, and they said that it would.  I also was honest with the enrollment guy at "D."   I told him that I am in an MBA program, and when I saw the opportunity to take a free course, I thought it could be beneficial.  He didn't make any indication that it was unusual.  When enrolling, he said I did have to pick "something" to enroll as a student.  He seems to understand that I am most likely going to be "one and done."

I am curious about the full tuition if you dropped.  Was that after a certain date?  I don't recall that information being shared with me.  My class will start on May 1st.  The syllabus is supposed to be available two weeks prior to that - which is when I will be able to compare it to the equivalent course better.

Idk maybe drops is different. I wanted to take W. I was told if I took the W I'd have to pay full price. So obviously even an F is better than a $1000+ W. 

In hindsight I should have done my research before signing up that the course would transfer instead of assuming. I reached out to the schools after I was already enrolled in the course. I was trying to get a certificate from CC (I just so happened to have the rest of the cert done) and have it count toward my bachelors degree too and also TESU as a backup in case I went that route.

This was a few years ago but not expect a lot in terms of course quality or online portal usability.

Yeah I think it is federal policy bon degree students can't get aid. But really simple you jsut pick a program. I did the same thing. I picked a degree I wasnt going to get.

Also did you see my post about coppersmith? Maybe look into that. Also statsitcs.com but idk how relevant thar would be.
