Haven't any of you people figured it out? For one there was another posting on this topic on here but I think CTU finally erased it and or censored it big time. In the comments it included a student or a former student who had contacted legal council about the "legalities" of CTU holding our funds when it is not a main industry trend for them to hold onto them for 14 days or longer in some cases and also to hold it for "future tuition" costs especially with some of us so close to the ends of our degrees. The fact is that CTU is making money on our money for every single day that it is held in this "clearing house" called Higher One. All Higher One is, is some stupid middle man bank that CTU has its dirty fingers in and they are making bank off of all of we students stipends that are "sitting" there waiting to be refunded. Most colleges, universities and institutions even the in person brick and mortar ones give you your funds the same day or within 2-3 business days regardless of how the money is wired or transferred to you personally be it a check, cash in person from the office if you go to a brick and mortar school or direct deposited to an account of your choice. They're forcing you to take this Higher One card crap. I say don't if you must then opt for direct deposit once this "middle man" cough "bank" has it and have it transferred into your personal bank accounts then from there get it as far from CTU as you can. It is our money period and CTU can and must by law only take the funds down to the last cent for tuition costs only. They by law again both federal and state laws are not allowed to hold the money for any period of time after they have received their funds for our current tuition. But the thing is these "thieves" in FA and others in the HQ are lining their pockets with our money. Can they afford to hire true Americans who can speak decent understandable non slurred non thick accented English? Yes but they don't so you end up talking to some dude who sounds like he's from GOD knows where and then the calls are all "scripted" and they are not there to give a crap about you, myself or anyone else, lie to you one call to the next and do not tell you where your funds are. I'd follow the paper trail and I will trust me I will. I am contacting all of my lenders, the United States Department of Education, the Federal Trade Commission, The Federal Communications Commission, FYI CTU you're not the only ones recording these calls. All of my calls are time stamped dated and recorded. I know each and every single one of your "agents" by name, their phone numbers, extensions etc. Finally after getting all the local, state and federal law enforcement, legal teams etc. together myself and this other student yes I signed her petition are taking a class action law suit out against CTU. Google it. They have been sued in the past for the same darned stuff FRAUD basically and it is coming again in the future. This is a great school education and academically but your financial aid department is full of crooks and enough is enough. I'll get one of those lawyers you don't pay unless you win and tie this thing up in court for years. I'm not joking here and I'm going to the mass media with it. Do you really want your reputation tarnished CTU? This is not a threat it is fact. Either fess up and pay we students on time every time and for all the interest you earned per student account, you must by law refund all of it. Higher One is going down as well. How dare you pull this crap.

Continued: She had researched the laws, codes, by laws etc. chapter and verse and guess what people, CTU is breaking every single one of them. Even the lenders where shocked and stated that is you students money by law and they have no rights to be holding it "hostage" or earning interest off it like that. What's CTU going to do here, pull another ENRON? That's tampering with evidence. What you all will get is a FEDERAL INDICTMENT and summons into court and I hope you enjoy your cells each and every one of you in Federal prison.
During my entire at the school, at no time did they inform me that my federal aid would not be enough to complete the program (bachelor’s degree)I had signed up for. I did not find out this until I started receiving emails that to continue in the program I had to sign a private loan agreement. I contacted the school to see about obtaining a associated degree and was told they don't offer one for the program I was enrolled in. after having left the school more than a year ago and telling then not to contact me about reenrolling I am still receiving emails and phone calls.
Knowlege is a gift it is not to be taken from you' with hidden kindness, Ilove to grow I speak for all those that- Colorado Technical university has no remorse, ecatione is power.They have have robebed maney poeple; as if thir eyes were closed.My computer shut down! from the the program's that that the atvisser instructucted me to down load. It was sure that my lab top began to have problum's, the internet view not want to open up' Colorado Technical university quickly stated that my lab top was having problum's and it was not on their part I stayed quite. a day whent by I spoke to the advisser and responded to them that I alway's keep my lab top up to date with repaires, having no vires. I hane a personal technion that keep's my lab top up to date. they want to charg me for classes that I have not even even been able to get in to. I would call the avisser for help no anwer' ring' ring' ring' but at first for inrollment the phone is clear. the responce is good after that they left me confused. when It came time to listen to the professer's they were unaviable they would say oh it's the time zone. Told me the time zone and I made sure I met time scegule, and for of this thay want to charg me $ 4000 dallor's for classes i was not able to do. they have alo saide to me we are going to give you a pro rate we are not going to charge you 36000 since I am a new studendt thier classes are a rip off they called me countless of times.
According to a high ranking official with the U.S. Department of Education, Colorado Technical University is on the Department's ""radar"" and has been some time. I am a graduate student at the University and have been enrolled since late in 2009. Thank God I am nearing graduation in September with my MBA degree because the experience has been horrible insofar as having to deal with high placed administrators in the college's financial aid divisiion -- Particulary Vice President Brian Duffy and his ""go to boy"" Brandon Young.
The college plays games with students' Title IV Federal Student Aid, often holding on to releasing excess funds to students for weeks and sometimes longer, even if in violation of Title IV regulations. I have had to deal with this issue almost every term, taking abusive statements from college officials such as ""not all of our students are as needy for their stipends as you are"" from Brian Duffy.
I originally blew the whistle on Duffy a couple of years ago and now he plays games with me -- malicious games -- holding my funds until the last statutory second, knowing it is causing hardship for me (and my elderly parents who I use these excess funds to buy their extremely expensive medications.
At 82 and 84 years old, my mom and dad do not have savings to help pay what Medicare does not pay, that savings has long ago been eaten up by medical expenses. And to be insulted by the University Vice President because I need the money I borrowed from the Federal government to pay for my education at this late date in my life is wrong -- it is immoral, malicious and only meant to hurt.
If any of you have troubles with Colorado Tech insofar as financial aid you believe is due to you, call either Kerry O'Brian at 303-844-3319 or Mitch Cary at the Denver Regional Office of the U.S. Department of Education. They will contact Brian Duffy directly andd you will see almost instant results.
Students paying tens of thousands of dollars for an education should not have to put up with this kind of pain. If you want to attempt to battle it out on your own, Brian Duffy's direct telephone line is 866-813-1836.
If you have not yet enrolled and are just looking at schools, I would suggest that you take a close look at the college or university's administration, as well as the teaching staff. See if there are complaints about the school by typing in the school's name and ""complaint boards."" If you do this with CTU, it will lead you to numerous complaints -- perhaps not all true, but you will have to check out the truthfulness of the complaint by further investigating.
At 57 years old when I decided to ""update"" my education from the Bachelor of Science degree I had earned in 1976 from Kansas State University, I had envisioned a challenging, yet rewarding experience. I am sorry that it did not turn out that way. The instructors at CTU for the most part are supportive and well-educated and experienced. The administration leaves a great deal to be desired.
If you wish to contact me directly, please send me an email at (((email redacted))). I would be happy to truthfully answer any questions you may have. Good luck in obtaining an excellent education. Be careful. When you see ""Students First"" at the bottom of CTU correspondence, don't necessarily take it for face value.
