I am a mother of a student that attended last year. My issue with this school is the Financial Aid Department. They appear to be arrogant, very unhelpful staff. My son attended Southwestern Oregon last year as mentioned earlier. He had not received his financial aid for the previous year. I contacted the Department of Education. They informed that his financial aid was completed 6 weeks prior and his disbursements had been submitted. Frankly, the Department of Education did not understand why it was taking so long for my son to receive his funds. The Department of Education supplied me with resources in the State of Oregon to contact concerning my son's financial aid refund check. The financial aid repeatedly told me they were working on it. After several weeks of waiting on financial aid and still no progress, I contacted the resources given to me from the Department of Education. The State of Oregon was contacted and my son received his refund check the same week.

I have been in school since January 4 2010. Financial Aid was complete in November 2009. I still have not received any financial aid. My tuition bill is getting larger, my reserve funds are gone and im debating weather I need to withdraw or not. Financial aid staff have the regular pre-recorded answers "we are working on it", ready the moment you walk in the door. One even told me how hard she worked when she was in college, with her kids and all. Told me I needed to just go get a job. Nice.

I was recruited for sports. I was promised scholarships and funding. Not 1 bit of what I was told came through. The golf coach quit at winter break, and school funding promised was then null and void.

My parents had to take emergency loans out to pay for each quarter, because although it was promised fasfa/loans would come through for the next quarter and my parents will be reimbursed, it did not .. the worst part is the school tells you at mid term that you have no money in your account and you must pay or go ... My parents live 15 hrs from here, I will be riding a 22 hour bus ride home due to lack of funding. Several students changed courses during the quarter and did not get credit for the classes because the office staff did not imput the changes.
