Super Brilliant
Beth Voigt; Ron Ratliff, and Rachel Schneider Capella University, Financial Aid Counselors, Office of Financial Aid are just three amigos who got their jobs at this institution, through other incompetent employees of Capella. I have been attending Capella since the last two years. I never had a problem with my financial aid before, until now. These three amigos told me that some of my loans were not consolidated from prior schools that I attended, and that was the reason why I was not eligible to recieve new financial aid or 2008 - 2009.

This is what all three jackass wrote, "Per the National Student Loan Data Base System (NSLDS) it looks you were overawarded as an undergrad. Capella University is required to use the National Student Loan Data Base System (NSLDS) to review loan history and determine stafford eligiblity. All of your undergraduate loans look as though they have been consolidated except one subsidized loan. It appears this loan may be a duplicate loan; however, we will need proof that either this loan is a duplicate or it has been paid off before your 2008-2009 financial aid can be awarded."

Everyone that I spoke to suggest that you can't go by the information in the NSLDS to determine financial aid reward(s). It wasn't a problem then the last two years, and it shouldn't be a problem now. After I got in touch with th lender of my prior loans that I consolidated. I send disclosure statements, master promisory note and other proof to these three morans, to show that all my prior loans that I had, before attending Capella have been consolidated and I am in deferment status. These three jackass still refuse to acknowledge the information, and refuse to process my financial aid. I had to contact the office of the Ombudsman at the US Department of Education so they can open an enquiry in this matter. There are so much much incompetent people employed at Capella in all departments, and I am looking forward in attending a traditional university in the near future.

Myself and some other doctoral learners left the University of Phoenix's DM (doctor of management) program(s) in favor of Capella's PhD program(s) instead.

The decision was a good one.

Is Capella perfect? Of course not. Are they professional, honest and legit? You better believe it! My biggest complaint is that when you tell people you go to Capella, they tend to have no idea what you're talking about.

To me that's not an academic issue, it's a marketing problem. So I didn't let it stop me from going forward with my studies with them and I hope you don't either.

As far as I'm concerned, Capella redefines what honesty and integrity is. I've personally read of *many* financial aid nightmares at other schools - but not a single one at this school.

Finally, take a look at their stock ticker: CPLA. That should tell you a lot. A company's stock is a proxy for them, and Capella is no exception.

I have attended brick and mortar schools (USC, MU) and now an online school (Capella). The work involved and quality of the education is surprisingly similar.
