Getting in is the easy part. You can talk to an enrollment counselor and they practically do all the work for you. Staying there and being able to afford it is the hard part.

“My recommendation is to find a more qualified schoolMay 08 2009Psychology
My recommendation is to find a more qualified school. GCU is strictly about the finances they receive. The online courses are not challenging at all. The instructor is usually missing during the forum discussions. If you truly want to learn and be the best at your chosen career, please choose another university. The instructor is not interested in what you respond with, just that you write something--anything that appears to be a type of educational response. Everyone passes the courses without effort and in the end, you will have graduated from a place with little or no merit. GCU is truly a disgrace to the field of education.

I transfered in and completed every document they sent me, went to every website they sent me to and attained all the documentation they asked for. If you don't have a good enrollment counselor, forget getting in. The sheer amount of paper work will overwhelm you. I was lucky my counselor was very dedicated to her job and helped me through t all. I recommend you having enough time to finish all paperwork. Also stay on top of your documentation because alot of mix up cn occur and then no one knows where it is or what to do. The new people they have hired seem to be oblivious to customer service and require you to stay on top of them and their jobs!
