Colorado Technical University [CTU]
Reviews and Complaints

I was a ctu student with a 3.8 gpa ctu is nothing more than a gang of online thugs who thinks its ok to hound terrorize and steal from disabled students or injured millitary personel. I am termianally ill in the extreame advanced stages of P.A.D half my heart has litteral die due to the illness i also have a severe form of ptsd a rage issue if provoked or triggered by another. Ctu was informed of these illnesses i have from day one of admission. As for the $50.00 enrollment fee mentioned on this page by other students. What ctu actually doese is they inform the student of the fee from the first conversation however ctu never once asked for the 50 bucks upfront they automaticlly apply it to your account if you agree to enroll. Once you are enrolled ctu deletes the $50.00 from your account. However they will rip students off for finacial aid and stipend funds like in my case where ctu stole over 26, 000.00 federal aid i was not a ctu student when they took the funds i started the enrollment then cancled before i completed and signed the paperwork. ctu took 26, 000.00 reguardless my permission. I recently learned this money was stolen between [protected] in 2016 i was thrown out of school for filing complaints about the missing funds and got a bill for 63, 000.00 for a associates degree really? WTF i only agreed to $38, 000.00 28, 000.00 dollars of the 62, 000.00 bill was stolen by ctu staff when i investigated i learned ctu had been stealing from other students this exact same way. This school terrorized me a dying man for two plus years everytime over the missing money. whe i tried to leave the school they refused to release my grades transcripts ect. claiming i owed 150.00 so i asked how can i pay so i could leave, I was then transfer to a manager of the aid dept. I was told the amount would be paid from left over grant funds since they do not need to be paid back. and the conversation ended in agreement at that point. I then requested a withdraw and my school funds returned to the feds. One month later i learned ctu never relased or paid for the transcripts in fact they took the money and never sent a thing so i called again an got a differant women who began to argue with me claiming i am lying about her boss and i was never told the school would pay from a grant and that i needed to pay. These ###s already got paid. what this women did not know is i can prove my clain... how? i recorded both conversations. I was forced to retain our family attorney who forced ctu to comply with federal laws about transcripts. Now we are forced again to retain our attorney to force ctu to return the 30, 000.00 back to the federal aid program... till this happens i can no longer go to school why because ctu stole 3/4 of my bachlor degree funds. There claim is i should not of took the max out... wrong answer if the people did not steal 26, 000.00 i would currently have enough to complete my degree at a brick and mortor school AVOID CTU if your using any form of federal funds exspecially the G.I Bill this school is the new version of agangster a modern 2016 version of al capone and there getting away with these crimes and countless others. what i find disturbing is the us government is allowing this school to steal these funds and have done zero to help at all the only option a student has i learned from our attorney is to file fraud charges and seek a discharge by your loan provider the problem with this is unless you can prove with absolute certanty ctu committed a crime you will be force to repay the loans and ctu gets away with commiting fraud and stealing your federal funds. the other option is a disability discharge if you are pronounced terminal ill. all others are just screwed by this school and have there lives ruined by these criminals. I plan to try and file a class action suit against this school if we can hire the correct attorney this school is a criminal and its leaders need to be sent to prision. CTU will lock any student out of the campus website if you file complaints. anyone interested in sueing these ### together as a group i want a full refund plus damages totaling more than $62, 000.00 i also want this school shut down permanently and the staff sent to prison on terrist charges and federal fraud and internet bulling and raceteering charges contact aliendroneufo@gmail.com if you are a attorney who wants to challenge a monster corporation named Colorado Technical University

I only suffer from depression and high blood pressure when I got conned into that dang school. I guess I got off easy! I owe those ###s $2800...but I'm no longer depressed enough to throw my money out the window. BTW, they waived the $50 fee with ME...guess my Bankruptcy helped :)

Please .. go on line and file a complaint with the Colorado State attorney General office. It's easy and that is what i did and they is what any victim needs to do to put this CTU out of business. It's a scam !

Being a former employee /admissions rep for CTU Online, the above story does not surprise me at all. My main goal in speaking with anyone, was to get them enrolled, regardless of circumstances. If they told me they had 2years to live I would be "urged" to tell them that they could get their associate by the time they died. The big thing was to get the $50 dollars admissions fee. Why, because in the admissions contract it states that the money can be returned only up to a certain number of days after signing the contract. In reality, the school knew that a certain percentage of those enrolling would not start. So at least they get the $50.00 out of them. Did the girl say the money would be refunded, maybe. She probably said that not mentioning the "buyers remorse clause" While we did not get paid commission on the number of enrollments we had, that was how we were judged and how we kept our jobs. I will be honest, I did not make my numbers so I was let go. I had a very hard time trying to convince people who I knew probably did not need or would not do well, with on line learning, to invest $50k plus (total for a bachelors degree) in what I believed not to be in their best interest. Within 45-60 minute call, the potential student was expected to make the decision. We were taught what I call "emotional sales" techniques, to emotionally bludgeon the student into thinking this was a good idea regardless of situation.
Will you get your $50 doallars back, probably not since it was in the contract. Is it legal, ya, unethical ya.

My student loans are being mishandled very bad , I can't get the issue resolved it all just games and round a rounds with these people . Ive been told multiple stories I don't know what's going on with my financial aid until it's too late

Ctu Online calls me continuously all day. I block calls, but they just call from a different number. I have verbally asked them to stop calling me and I have replies with a message to STOP! It has gotten completely ridiculous! I have a job and cannot be getting these calls all day every day! If I wanted to talk to them, I would answer!

I inquired ONE time on the CTU Online website about a possible Masters Program and have been relentlessly harassed with daily phone calls since then. I have blocked the main number, blocked a local number, and blocked ANOTHER local number. If this continues, I will report CTU to the FCC. This is unacceptable scammer behavior.

I don't know how my information got into CTU's registry, but I'm not interested. I've been called probably upwards of 100 times and I have no interest in schooling here. I have picked up and immediately hung up enough times that it should be clear I have no interest with this university.

They also told me that even if max out I will still have enough to cover the entire program..I'm now 70,000 in debt and lacking 6 classes! I'm really upset

I keep getting calls everyday from ctu online. I have tried to block the numbers but they keep coming through. I am not interested in joining there college so these calls are borderline harassment. Please take me off of your contact list. Thank you in advance

Colorado Technical University have been lying to me repeatedly scam outt. Pell Grant and Financial aid. Do not attend lies they didn't have enough money to cover my course then Fast Track is another scandalous acts. I had attendees Business Adminstration which a weak course it's the same information held in high school. All they did was jingle the information around but absolutely the same matter and the rest learning online google charge 1500 Excell course which supposed to be a Fast Track instead allowed me to save money .Fake Success Coach put the course in full blown classroom stage failure to remove back to Fast Track they'll kept saying couldn't change back to Fast Track which I nevertheless got a chance to do. Ripping off my stipend account this is worst university misleading information then failure transfer my 30 credit just like every other University. Then pause history class then setup me retake so they make another 1300 off me. Shut down CTU is awful the same pattern they have not change at all So disappointed then withholding my stipends funds short change me while their collection nearly 3800 per quarter then additional technology's fee 250 likewise for what didn't provide and laptops or materials all self pace we do work at Instructor's interactive through chat room or vroom. I feel a await money switching back to film director or fashion they didn't offer economic financial just four online courses to earn a degree.

Scamming money

I would like to know if anyone attending CTU has experienced a problem with the grading system? I am having a problem with the grading system by way of not having enough time to respond to an error or omission that may have occurred on my part.

I attended Ctu Online from 2010 to 2013. I did receive my associates degree in medical billing and coding. I then went on to my bachelor's degree in criminal justice. This is where things got messed up. Before I enrolled in the bachelor's program I asked did I have enough student loans to complete the program. I was told yes. Halfway through my program I got a call saying that I had no more student loans left and I wanted to get my degree I would have to pay $6000 out of pocket. Keep in mind I didn't fail any class, didn't have to retake any classes, so how have I used all my student loans. Let me go back for a minute. About a month after getting into the bachelor's program. I get a call that they messed up my Pell Grant because the put down that I was only taking one class at a time when I was actually taking too, so I became responsible for the money that was paid out due to their mess up. Also when they told me I didn't have any student loans left I withdrew because I didn't have $6000 so they charged me for a class I never took and then charged me for the $900 and something Pell Grant that they messed up. So know here I can't get my transcript to even go to an in state college to finish my degree until I pay them $2000 dollars of which I do not feel I should have to pay them. Don't get me wrong in the beginning I loved Ctu but to mislead people and hold them responsible for their mess ups is wrong. So to the people that think some people are dumb, let me be clear on this when I graduated with my associates degree I had a 4.0, so I am by far dumb, nor did I chose to go to online because I am lazy. I chose to go to school online because I have been to a regular college and was not comfortable plus having three children was a lot tuff, so don't put somebody down for going online cause I was on the dean's list and did very well online because that is what I was comfortable with. The only issues I every had with CTU is their financial aid. I am having them investigated because that is wrong that I can't finish school after I was told I had enough funds to finish.
