CTU claims they put the best interest of their students first. Many students disagree and want to see change. Students want their voices heard by the school. They want more faculty to be able to assist the high number of students attending. They want the school to be held accountable for technical problems not caused by the student. Students do not want to have to do more work because the school did not add their credits in correctly. CTU policies are made to benefit the school and not the students attending. CTU needs to remove their claim they put students first or begin to actually do so.
By signing this petition you are supporting the following:
- Hiring more financial aid faculty to support students.
- Letting students who have been negatively affected as a result of technical problems caused by the school have exceptions to policies
- Having the school create a place for students to directly raise issues with the school
- Changing the way the school provides information to make it more accessible to students
- Allowing students to go as high up as the President of the school if they have an issue that is not being addressed.
These are currently major issues that students currently enrolled at CTU face. Many students chose this school because of the flexibility as well as many claims made by the school faculty that have been found to be false.

I have spent my evenings reading through the stories you are sharing and it is moving to see how many people have faced these same hurdles. This grew into something much larger than I ever imagined and I am just doing my best to keep up with your momentum. Thank you for trusting me to carry this forward as we wait for the school to acknowledge what is happening.

I had an issue with a grade and I submitted a grade appeal. My grade appeal was valid but was denied because the instructor has the right to give whatever grade he/she likes without giving a valid reason why. Therefore, seeking a second opinion from an outside source (the board of appeals) is pointless. This one of the worst schools in the world and I recommend everyone stay away! If I didn't have 2 courses left to complete my degree I would definitely transfer! The financial aid reps are awful, rude, and very unknowledgeable in regards to their duties of the position they hold. Bad! Bad! Bad! Stay away please!
Never get a response from anyone!
I think something needs to be done. I have worked in customer service field and I feel it's important to tell the truth. If you don't know an answer than you shouldn't be afraid to ask. Instead of giving me or any student
This school is to expensive, they hold your stipend money like you don't need it, and never gives you a definite answer to any questions.
I have only been going here sense July 2015. I am a very concerned student. FA has no consistency. I am considering finding another school to attend. I work hard on my classes to get my degree. I will elaborate but there are a few very odd things that just cant be right that I have dealt with, so my concern is very real. So I am signing this petition because if they have no regard for us students then they should be shut down at least the online school. enough is enough. Larry T Powell Jr
My funds has been sitting in my student account for a week today. This is causing interruption in my school because I have other educational expenses beside CTU. I need my funds now. Thank you
The school never inform the students about what going on and when you call someone it's a attitude or misleading information. Nobody on the same page every person tells you something different! I'm thinking about finding a school that cares about the students and always keep me informed

I have been Attending CTU since August of 2014 and the consistency of the Financial Aid Department is non-existant, they are rude and unprofessional, no one gives you information as to what the problem is with a stipend that is technically yours, since most of it comes from funds that is left over from your tuition that you have to pay back at the end of your schooling. Something needs to be done. CTU needs to change their policies as well as how these instructors treat their students when it comes to grading scales..There are so many issues with CTU. They are so expensive and yet still you are getting treated as if they are doing you a favor.
