I am so very disgusted with the SCAMMERS @ Academy of Healing Arts & All involved in the False information, they gave at the time of enrollment into their Medical Assistant Program! I was more than ready to further my career and they made the 7 month program sound like "all that & a bag of chips"! I enrolled 6/23/2009 and began my first day of School on 7/15/2009! I was pretty proud of myself in Graduating with a 3.8 GPA & being out of High School since 1988! Needless to say...when myself & my classmates walked across the stage to receive our diplomas...we received a rolled up piece of paper stating "Congratulations Graduate"! On this rolled up piece of paper it also stated Transcripts & Diplomas would be ready soon...but you must be cleared through financial aid & career center!! Why the financial aid Dept? I'm not sure, considering they were fraudulent with Their handling of Federal aid and was later found on 3/18/15 by determination of investigation, that AHA derived 85.
04% of it's cash basis from Title IV HEA funds ,which totalled $2,824,476.00!
Also as far as the Career Dept....what a waste of time and false promises in informing enrollees that they would strive to assist all Graduates, with Job Placement, once you graduate! Never receiving transcripts or a diploma really sickens me and I'm not sure how any of them involved can "SLEEP AT NIGHT"? AS FAR AS I am concerned....they caused us all unnecessary debt for the rest of our lives with student loans for a Bogus line of B.S....They AHA, should have been made to pay back the student loans that was given to Us enrollees!! After all....I've got no Diploma to show all my hard work,blood sweat n tears or just to be proud of...all I have is heartache & debt & wasted time, for thinking I was furthering My Career!!!
I attended academy of healing arts las vegas back in 2008. I was excited to go to school and make a difference. at the time i thought nothing of it but the financial aid guy was very pushy and said all the right things. i got my financial aid approved and had 3 pell grants added.
i attended my classes and actually passed all my classes with A's. 3 months in the school sent me to get my GED. i didnt have it when i signed up( which according to student aid its a requirement upon applying). i passed and resumed classes as usual. i finished my classes and my externship and went on to graduate in april 2009. graduation we walked and did the usual. they handed me a rolled up paper saying CONGRATS YOU DID IT! your diploma will be mailed in 3-4 weeks. ok cool there was alot of people to send them out to.
fast forward a month, still no documents. i called the school every 2 weeks for what seemed like forever. the answer from them was always....we are working on them, they are being sent out, blah blah blah. I called one day to follow up and was told the school was closed and it was now the milian institute. and they were not affilitaed with academy of healing arts they just took over the building and some teachers.
After closure the school never turned over diplomas to post secondary education. only thing they had were transcripts which are useless when trying to get certified in the medical field. from 2010 to present i have fought with the dept of education to get some kind of resolution. they are useless. was told to do the borrowers defense and its now been 1 year waiting for an answer and all i get is its being reviewed. i sent them the 35 page report i found where the school was being investigated by the dept of ed. WHILE i was attending school. they were stripped of their title 4 rights. this means they could not hand out pell grants....i got 3.
To sum it up upon closure the school owed over $2.5m to the FFLA and dept of ed. My loan servicer just keeps saying well you signed a promisary note. yea i did and i fullfilled my end of the deal. the school didnt. you were shady the whole time i was in and now im being punushed for their screw up. i suggest anyone who went to this school and had the same issues file a complait with Dept of Ed.
