Walden University and Laureate Education, Inc named in class action lawsuit over systematic prolonging of the thesis and dissertation process Walden University; Laureate Education, Inc The dissertation and thesis processes lack institutional oversight and operate in complete disregard for Walden University’s own policies creating an endless process that drags on for quarter after quarter, year after year for students. This prolonged process causes students to spend more money on tuition than was represented to them by Walden University. As alleged, the process for students to obtain a dissertation or thesis supervisory committee chair and member is extremely difficult. Even worse, retaining the committee chair and committee member throughout the entire process is an additional challenge. The Complaint claims that most Walden University doctoral and master’s students experience a loss of a supervisory committee chair or member at least once – and usually many more times – during the course of their dissertation or thesis. Walden University’s failure to regulate the supervisory committee program thus unnecessarily prolongs students’ efforts to obtain their degrees, and results in students extending their enrollment in their respective dissertation or thesis course and paying additional tuition.

I have been in the Walden University EdD program for nearly 4 years, and continue to receive satisfactory progress rating, although I'm still in State 2 of the proposal phase. The prospectus phase took 2-full years without justification, and multiple reviews and corrections appearing to contradict remarks prior. Moreover, I do feel the University has no oversight fo the process until the URR phase, and I have also experienced changes in committee members. Further, when I do submit, my documents are normally reviewed by only the chair, and reviews take the maximum days for a response. In addition, this program was offered as a 3-year program, and a dissertation was not required, however the program does require a so called "research project study" that mirrors a traditional PhD program with only "stages" replacing "chapters" with the requirements identicla except for wording symantics. More importantly, the entire program has been revamped by changing criteria, rubrics, and proceedures in both the prospectus and proposal phases. The new handbook in October 2014 reflects a NEW timeline showing this process now take another 30 momths from completion of the course work. This program has been a total misrepusentation of the EdD program,and a process of habitual delays to stretch out tuition costs, payment, increasing tuition, and reducing services with fee based services. Further, I am having to take a leave of absence, since the cost is way beyonf my projected budget.

I have been a student in the EdD program for four years. After the prospectus stage, it was supposed to only take 2 semesters and I am on semester 5. I may pass URR this term. But I ran out of money last term. I am already planning on bypassing all of the red tape and finishing my project without approval this term. How do I join in this class action law suit?

This is my 6th year as a doctoral candidate and I have filed complaint after complaint - even so far as to request tuition reimbursements for the quarters in which I had absolutely no contact with my chair despite numerous attempts on my part. That chair eventually stepped down and I thought I would be better off - but two years later, I am still stuck. I can't even get feedback on my final draft. This was by far the worst financial decision I ever could have made and I don't know how I will ever recover...

I totally agree and relate to the responses regarding unethical practices at Walden when it comes to the EdD program. I have ran out of money to pay for my tuition. I completed all course work with a 4.00, but when it came to writing my proposal it has taken 3 years. My PhD editor said that she had never heard of such.

I am now in my 4th year and 3rd re-write of my doctoral study as the review process is completely subjective and open to arbitrary changes whenever someone within the leadership feels appropriate. This program has cost significant time and money as the entire process lacks accountability.

I would like to be a part of what is going on. I have also been through several chairs and have finished all but my thesis. There have been multiple changes that set back my progression even further. I have spent a significant amount of time and resources to finish to graduation however every time I progress forward something happens and sets me back further.



Elaine G. said

I finally left after Walden changed their guidelines AGAIN and resulted in my having to go back and re-write my proposal. With all of the required reviews, I was only able to 'maybe' get my chair to review my work once every 6-8 weeks. Also, there was such a disconnect between the chair and other committee members, I had no one advocating for me. Each reviewer had a different spin and when I would fix one, another reviewer would contradict it. My chair would only say 'just fix it'. I would like to be considered for a full refund in the lawsuit

I am so glad I found this website. I am on my third mentor. I have made over 20 revisions to my Prospectus, and all BS changes similar to what I am reading on here. One person will tell me to change something in formatting...but I'm using the template they provided. Another person will change it BACK! I was actually sent a peer's prospectus and told that mine should look like hers when I wrote THE SAME EXACT THING (methodologically-speaking). In fact, she had only a few revisions and is way ahead of me (even though we started at the same time and have been on the same track). But guess what? She doesn't apply for loans; she makes payment arrangements and pays out of pocket. There has been one excuse after the next, and I have officially run out of student loans and am having to apply elsewhere. All of the people who are supposed to be here to help me are only helping themselves. Everything was fine up until the beginnings of dissertation time.

I was halted at the IRB phase and was told by faculty that my dissertation should not have ever made it to IRB and was surprised that my mentor was behind my work. Now I'm being offered two quarters (waived tuition), keep my chair whom they thought wasn't capable, and certain that my work (with their suggested revisions) will pass IRB. How ironic? Had my counsel review the release form, sent email communication over to Dean as suggested and have not heard back from them yet. Prior to this new agreement I had submitted a congressional complaint which prompted the above.



Angela H. said

con't - I've been enrolled as a student with Walden University for 10 years. To have gone through the process as directed by Walden, to have received all necessary approvals, and to have been halted with two Chapters remaining to complaint without any concern of the money and time spent is unethical. Something has to be done on behalf of the students!

I am having the same Issue in the EdD program. I've been in the program since 2010. I just can't seem to be moved along. The project study process is dragged out and it seems almost impossible to finish. It seems that the committee's are all involved in prolonging the process so you spend more money. I have been there 5 years and still can't seem to finish a program they said would take three years! I've no fun out of money and will not be able to finish, I feel that I've been taken advantage of and would like something done about it. I've spent thousands of dollars just to leave with nothing.

I am having a problem with Walden University concerning my finances. I have financial aid but it is never enough to cover the tuition and this has never been a problem at another school. They withhold my money for two weeks adding charges so when it is finally applied I still owe money. I do not want to continue to spend money that I do not have for classes that should already be covered. When I talked to someone about dropping a class I was informed not only will I be charged but I should ask for an increase in my financial aid. I do not understand how that will help me because they will continue to withhold the money, continue to add interest, and I would continue to be charged by not only them but if I take out another loan. I am really frustrated and they just seem all about the money.



Joan L. said

I have been with this school for over three years now. EdD in Curriculum Instruction and Assessment. Most of the journey was OK until I got to the dissertation stage and the first chair person they assigned to me just refused to respond to my weekly assignments. Some weeks I just thought she was out of the country......that's how silent she was.



I eventually complained and was told to call her more often. This I did but had to complain again because she just seemed to be very busy. One week she was there and the next week she sent me a message that she had left the University.



The proposal I had submitted to her both via email and to Task Stream was not reviewed



The new chair person came...... gave me a satisfactory for the class and later changed the gradc.....saying he did not see my submitted proposal.....this proposal was sitting in TASK STREAM WAITING TO BE reviewed.



I resubmitted the proposal and earned a spanking review from the new chair.....



This confusion came back later to haunt me again however, .....because he had not gone back in to change the grade......



Even though He is very apologetic, someone bigger than he is calling the shots and I am waiting to speak to someone about this matter. I am currently out of class even though my financial aid office says they do not have any negative information on me at this time.



I have a feeling they are not able to fully take us through the doctoral degree process for some disciplines, but do not want to tell us..... so we are being strung along......... wasting thousands of dollars of our personal monies. I hope this is not true but right now I cannot imagine any other justifiable reason for this current error on their part that they are dragging their feet on. I called Sallie Mae to complain and they gave me some advice. I need this school to be held accountable here in the USA.

Hello everyone,



I was a doctoral student at Walden University for three years. During my matriculation, I was inducted into Pi Alpha Alpha with a 3.9 GPA. My problems with Walden didn't begin until I entered the dissertation process.



I don't want to go into detail about my experience, but as a former student I've can attest to the premise of this lawsuit. I was allowed to continue the dissertation process for three terms without a second committee member, wasting money and time. I felt that I was set up for failure from the beginning of the process. My advisor expressed frustration on how Walden allow students to enter the process without a full committee in place I agree with Joan L.'s suggestion that Walden need to be held accountable for their actions.

I want to be made whole by Walden University. The Student Loans to pay for the outrageous tuition and residences was a nightmare. I started the program in good faith so that by the end of my successful progression I would be granted my Ph.D. The KAM process was an absolute flop and complaints and pleas to the Administators went unaddressed.



Elizabeth S. said

I am in a similar situation. I have been working on my EdD for five years. They have changed the template on me, asked me to spend a semester working with a developmental editor, and I have had 3 subcommittee chairs. My URR has stopped me at every turn. My chair is frustrated and has made comments about her wanted edits that would typically be done in the form and style review. I make all the changes they ask for and it still does not pass. Now she is telling me my sources are too old and I need updated ones in my lit review. So I keep getting pushed back to the start of the writing process. It should not take 2 years to be allowed to collect my data. If I had gone to the local university, I would have been done by now.



Cynthia T. said

URR was assigned to me on January 16, 2014. After doing some extensive research on URR’s background, I agreed URR was an excellent choice to be my URR. My dissertation is a study on leading a multigenerational workforce in the public sector. URR has a wealth of knowledge on the subject of my dissertation, and I was eager to learn from his expertise to guide me on completing my dissertation.



As of today, URR has returned my dissertation draft to me for changes since we began working together. Before we had MyDR, I would email my draft to my committee and URR. On one occasion it took URR three weeks to respond to my draft, on a second occasion it took four weeks before I received any feedback from him. URR was very thorough and provided me with some suggestions to improve my draft with each of his reviews.



I honestly feel that a primary reason I am not nearing the end of completing my dissertation is due to the mixed messages that I have been receiving from him. URR would provide me with changes that I needed to make, and on two separate occasions he would tell me, only minor changes need to be made and once the changes are made he would approve my draft, but he would reply with major, time-consuming changes I would need to make.



The relationship that I currently have with URR is one I did not imagine I would have with my committee and URR. I expected for my committee and URR to be as excited as I am about the research I am doing, and to provide me with the guidance to complete a study that will impact the world we live in today. This has not been my experience working with URR. I have been working on getting this draft approved by URR since January 2014. URR has made me doubt my research and myself. URR has left me feeling frustrated, depressed, used, and wondering if Walden cares if I finish my dissertation or not.



Moving forward, I feel that my only choice is to request an expedited independent reviewer. Both my chair and committee member feel my proposal is acceptable and I am ready for the next step. I cannot financially or emotionally afford to continue to work with URR if I continue to not make any progress after every revision. I could have easily chosen a number of other Universities to conduct my research, but I chose Walden. I chose Walden because I believed in their vision. I want my research to provide leaders in the public sector with a guide to addressing the challenge of leading a multigenerational workforce. I look forward to a positive resolution to my situation and dilemma.

To Cynthia T and anyone else: According to Walden’s policy, anyone on your committee, including the URR have 14 days to respond to your submission. If they don't, you need to appeal. There's a petition form from their site where you can ask for a waiver for that semester's tuition. You can also request for a new member. I had my second chair fired because she took much longer to respond, and many times she didn't respond at all. Also, every time you email this member, remind him/her of their policy and cc it to the dept. Head and to anyone else above your committee.



If you research it, Walden has the highest amount of student debt compared to all other colleges in the U.S.! They are a money trap! Tell everybody you know: DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL.

Mary C. said

I agree with everything above. I will not be returning next quarter because my prospectus was submitted in February and has still not been approved because I cannot get my chair to email me back and let me know what I need to change. Everything was fine until I got to the dissertation. At the start of the dissertation process, the communication with my chair became nonexistant. He will not return my emails. When I email, I am respectful in requesting feedback. Yet, there is no acknowlegement of receipt of my email nor any answers to my questions.

I am a former Walden student who is swimming in a boat load of debt because Walden prolonged my doctoral process beyond reason. They caused me to use every bit of financial aid I had. I enrolled in Walden's doctoral program in 2007 and it took me 6 years to complete a program that promised to end in 2-3 years. The only reason I finished then is because I had to get an attorney to threaten them. I would very much like to participate in any type of suit against them. I want my money back so that I can attempt to get out of some of the debt they've caused.

Everyone needs to complain to the states. Attorney General, bombard whoever it is with complaints. Walden is making me off holding students refunds.

Earned a Masters in Science from Walden with no problem. Matriculated into the PhD with a concentration in Clinical Psychology and maintains a 4.0 GPA. I am an ABD because there is a lot of inconsistency amongst the administrators of Walden. There is no support for students. Students has to obtain their own committee members, secure their own placements and wait for long periods without response from committee chairs, or field supervisors. Many students end up running out of money and cannot finish their degrees. Walden charges a higher rate than most universities, but provides no support to its students. I am in concert with a group of individuals who is very frustrated with the review process and feel as though they are censored or threatened with dismissal if they speak to anyone but their committee chair about what they believe is unjustifiable treatment/injustice. Would like to join this class action suit.

I, too, have had the same experiences with the dissertation process for the Ed.D. My chair gave me the wrong "template," insisted I follow it, I wrote three chapters and submitted it, only to be told by Edward Gardner that it was "my fault" and that I "should have known" to use a different template despite what my chair said. I have all of this in writing. I would be more than willing to share those emails and be a part of a class action law suit.

Yes! I kept records and contacted the school repeatedly. First, I had a professor that just left me in the summer with no teacher. That lasted over a month. Then, they fired my chair and no one contacted me. Finally, he wrote me a private email telling me he had been fired. I was waiting for him to approve my paper. After another 2 months they named my methods person as my chair. It took another year because she did not even know what my paper was about and I had to get a new methods chair. I begged to complete this as I had used all of the loan money I could get. I had to get private loans. Finally, when I could get no more they let me finish my dissertation. I have been waiting for some kind of help. I was too far to quit so I had to just beg for money. There is no way I will ever be able to pay what I owe. I was at my lifetime max when I used credit cards and private loans. I want to join this class action lawsuit. Moreover, the College of Education had in writing that the program could be completed in 2 years.

Thank goodness someone has staeted this process. I am from Coffee County, GA. In 2004 or 2005 A Walden representative met with a large group of teachers and made the following statements. The program would be a 3 year Doctorial program costing of approximately $ 25,000. The Universitywould "hold your hand" through the program as your dissertation would be composed through research articles used in your coursework. After completing my coursework with a 4.0, I began the dissertation process. After writing chapters 1-2 and having it reviewed by my chair I went through the process of revions paying more out of pocket for additional semesters. After my chair approved chapters 1-2, he said after writing and revising chapter 3 I would be ready to schedule a proposal defense. Then I get back an email stating that the dissertation rubric had changed and all my articles used for my study needed to be peer reviewed and were beginning to be dated. After 4 years yes...some of the research would begin to be dated. My three chapters at this point were a total rewrite. Having hired a corporate editor to review my work, she was disturbed that my first 3 chapters were not being approved. Already going beyond the 3 year program with over $70,000 in debt and receiving emails from my chair stating this program was a "process", I withdrew from the program in December of 2008. Stuck with a 900 loan payment, no degree, and the emotional stress of going through almost 4 years to receive nothing...I began to see what the word "process" meant to Walden. Another semester, more money and nothing but heartache for me. Out of 6 educators from Coffee County School System only one was able to receive her Doctorate Degree within the 3 year time frame.

I have the emails from these early exchanges with Walden. Additionally, my academic options are limited because employers (universities) see "Walden" and don't even interview me. I was $200,000 in student loan debt when I left Walden and my degree from Walden has earned me no additional income. I work in a master's level position.

When I applied to Walden in 2010, it was the only University that offered an online doctoral program that is accredited by the state of Texas. I was 6 months pregnant with a 2 year old and a full-time job so thought an online degree would be best for me and my family instead of attending a traditional brick and mortar university. Little did I know it would turn into this financial nightmare! I was told that I would receive a degree within 3 years by Dr. Kate when I attended the "required" residency. The residency was a joke, I have had four different first chairs, 3 different second chairs, still stuck on my Prospectus (that got approved by my former chair but left before approving it in TaskStream), and now the university is making me back-track to work on something that got approved 18 months ago! This semester, I wasn't even in the proper course until 7 weeks into the semester. I have petitioned and have never received any tuition reimbursement for their lack of commitment, support, and ability to follow their own policies and standards. Now, I have run completely out of financial aid and have a total of $138,000 dollars of student loan dept without even obtaining my doctoral degree! I have made sacrifices and have spent the last five years of my life, (entire life of my youngest daughter) working to accomplish a life-long goal so that I would be able to provide for my family. I have spent countless hours revising and editing to meet the minimum requirements and have found that the professors seem to revise and edit their own revisions most of the time which adds to the high levels of frustration. I feel like a gerbil on a carousel wheel that keeps running, running, and running...

I had a very similar experience during my time with Walden. I was a student from 2008-2013. In that time three of my chairs retired, were fired, or quit. This slowed down the process and cost me thousands of dollars. I had to rewrite my Proposal over and over. After it was finally approved, my final draft was rewritten over twenty times. Many of the changes requested were unnecessary and I believe were meant to cause me to have to keep enrolling for multiple quarters. After completing all coursework with a 4.0 GPA I had to stay enrolled for two years just to work on making the changes they required. Everyday that went by I knew I was losing money waiting for them to respond. Finally, my disseration was approved and I graduated, but I now have over $2000,000 in student loan debt.

Very satisfied with M.S. and Eds. programs at Walden. PhD, not so much.

Health issues stopped me, ultimately, and thank God, too!



Christopher K. said

I was in the EdD program at Walden and after three 8090 semesters of constant change during the dissertation process finally cut my losses and quit. One semester I was told 3 weeks into the class that my chair had resigned weeks ago and I would be assigned another one! Shouldn't I have been told that immediately? I had a 3.8 GPA but when it came to writing the final dissertation my writing was "so bad" they wanted me to take a remedial writing course, again, how can I fly through classes with a 3.8 and at the end be such a horrible writer? Speaking with an adviser after being in the classes was like getting an appointment with the Pope. Before withdrawing I tried to enroll in a graduate program in educational leadership and NONE of their classes would transfer, that was the icing on the cake that 8000 level classes would not transfer into 5000 and 6000 classes, one with the almost identical name except for one word! This is shameful and de-values education, they need to be called out on the carpet asap before others make this expensive, lengthy and demeaning mistake.

I graduated with my MS from Walden, which they told me would cost approx $25,000 for a 1.5 year program. It took me $45,000 and 2.5 years to complete. The thesis process was frustrating as I was pretty much on my own with little direction from the person overseeing it. I have been looking into my Doctoral degree, which I am now glad I did not go to Walden for. However, I find that most schools won't accept me as I lack a few courses needed. I'm tapped out financially and cannot afford to audit classes to get my Doctoral degree. So I'm forced to work in a field that doesn't relate to my degree at all. Making my time at Walden pointless. I am definitely looking into joining this lawsuit and will be contacting my State's Attorney General! Thank you for your comments, it let me know I'm not alone in this and it wasn't just me.

I had many of the same issues. I started working on my doctorate in 2007. I finished 7 years later. It literally took me 7 years to complete, although I was told it would only take approximately 3, maybe 4 years to complete. I suffered the going and coming of a chair, who was always traveling and making me wait for her return to check my work. Eventually I had no chair at all. I was told I had to be put on hold until I was found another chair. I was put on hold but I had to continue to pay for each class. I should have been compensated for the time lost for not having a chair but I was not. I felt that I was being treated unfairly.

I just started the dissertation process and one of my Chair members has been amazing and timely however the other took a long time to get back to me with edits that were not helpful at all. Not only that, I had to spend a huge amount of tie learning another way to turn in my work through a different program. The edits were demeaning and vague. I want to start working on my chapters but the other chair member told me to rethink or change all of my research questions however did not tell me why or offer any suggestions. I cannot work on my other chapters if I don't even know if my study will be approved. I am so frustrated. I researched how to get a different committee member and I have to wait until the beginning of a new quarter if I want to make changes meanwhile I waste another quarter of school. I was also told this was a two to three year program including the dissertation. It's not as I have already been a student over two years and have not even gotten my prospectus approved yet. I don't want to go into huge debt due to all of the misleading information. I also know of another person who ran out of money and had to drop out. I hope this does not happen to me.

I've been a student at Walden since 2012. I got through all of my coursework with a 3.84 GPA and my Master's Degree was no problem. Now I've been in the prospectus phase for more than 6 months with 0 progress. They told me today that I may have to completely rewrite my dissertation from scratch with a new topic because they don't understand the research methodology. It's pretty freaking simple: It's a time-panel analysis, quasi-experimental study that uses archival data to establish a linear regression delta. That delta is then compared to various socio-economic variables to determine if there is correlation. Not freaking rocket science, but they don't understand it. I've gotten everything from "you can't use archival data" (which is BS because Walden's policy states that I can), to "this is too hard".

Mary T. said

I can agree with the comments of the others. My prospectus was approved in April of 2014 and I have not been able to get any part of my Proposal approved since. I have had to change committee members and experience my chair going on vacation in the middle of a quarter when every member of the dissertation shell was struggling with various problems. My chair was told by my committee member that she was my URR person and that my work was not ready for URR review. However, the committee was NOT my URR member. The committee member had previously reviewed my proposal as the committee person - so she obviously forgot what role she was in on the committee. Last month I submitted my 6th draft of my proposal. A month later it had not been reviewed and returned. After I inquired about it my chair told me to email the committee member and see where she was with the revisions. Two weeks later I received the previous draft with the same revisions. I emailed her and told her what she had done and I attached the newly revised draft to the email. She responded with the same previous draft attached. I responded informing her of what she had done and told her that perhaps the chair could straighten it all out when she returned from vacation. The committee member replied saying she agreed but she did not know what the problem was. Last quarter when I discussed my financial situation with my chair she promised me that I would be presenting my oral defense by the third week of this quarter - didn't happen. Also, last quarter, my chair informed me that she had talked to the President of the School of Human and Social Behavior. She said that he discussed granting me a Certificate of Doctorial Studies which would be an official document. I could also use it if I decided to return and get my degree later. I have no more money. My financial aid is exhausted. I am a handicapped (legally blind), retired, senior citizen. I have not been able to secure a loan without a co-signer. No one that I know will co-sign for a person who is nearly (or will be) 80 years of age. I am out of pocket for this quarter and will probably be force to drop out without receiving a degree. I have spent so many hours, made so many sacrifices, done so much research and encountered so much debt only to have it end this way. Walden University has deceived me and prostituted me for the money they have received from my financial aid. I feel devastated!!!

Sheila J. said

I am experiencing the same issue in that my first chair was a new PhD graduate from a different university with no experience in mentoring DBA students. I began the 9000 series with him in January, 2014. In October 2014, the rubric was rewritten by a quantitative PhD, and very little guidance for qualitative doctoral study papers was, or has since, been provided. By January 2015 my paper was nowhere. I had took an eight-week break due to exhaustion and my lack of confidence in my chair-person.



Prior to the eight-week break, I submitted a revision to my chair person. I submitted later than the Application due date, but did that with my chair-person's permission. It took seven weeks to get feedback on that. Administration would not waive my tuition because I submitted one application paper (out of how many since starting the program?) late, regardless of permission from my chair to do so.



At this time, the same two chapters (with a myriad of edits due to feedback from my new chair) has been in the hands of two chairpersons since October 2015, and I am nowhere near MyDr submission. Some of us should have been grandfathered in by enrollment date when the new rubric was thrown at us. I am tapped out on financial aid and now have a block on my account, and can't register for the next class.

I am going to check out the site A.C.C. posted to see if I can get any remedy, or help others to get relief from this debacle.

I breezed through the courses with A's in every class but one. Most of the classes had several papers to create and submit, and I had no issues. I was on the dissertation process for 3 years. This is what I wrote when I finally understood that they were playing with me and had no intentions of helping me progress nor complete the process: I am withdrawing from the university because I have been on a non-stop merry-go-round with writing a dissertation for at least 3 years. As a professional educational unit, one of your instructors, professors, or advisors should have contacted me at least 2 years ago to support me if I was on the wrong track. Red flags should have popped up to one of your leaders after a student with almost straight A's in course writings suddenly is struggling. But the only time anyone from your institution contacts me is when my money is late. I wasted over $150,000 on a promise of social change, and I have no more money.

I am a disabled Veteran currently in my 2nd quarter of my dissertation. I busted my butt while on active duty using Tuition Assistance and attending night school even while deployed to Iraq. I attended an incredible school called National University who treated their Veterans with great respect. After completing my Masters degree I still had a year left on my GI Bill. As Walden is an online program when I transferred my living allowance was cut in half resulting in approximately$12,000 for the year. After I ran out of benefits I took out an Stafford unsubsidized Federal Loan. I was so passionate about my research (Cultural Resilience in Thai Female Survivors of Human Sex Trafficking) and I sold everything I owned and moved to Thailand. I previously wanted to study PTSD in veterans but after attending 3 residencies and begging for help during the "advising" sessions I left every time feeling like a total idiot and wanting to quit. Every professor I asked for help did the opposite. They did everything but call me stupid. I do have a learning disability and this did not help matters and asking for help did not help in any way. I checked my Nelnet account and I have racked up over $75,000 in around a year!!!! I have spent around 4 hours everyday working on my dissertation and it takes weeks to hear anything from my "committee" and I have to look in ten different places for the feedback which is completely useless. I am now back in California sleeping on my friends couch and helping her babysit her children. If it weren't for her Walden would have been the reason for another homeless Veteran. At this point I will not have enough money to finish my dissertation so I am looking into other options. It is amazing to me that I achieved a Masters Degree only owing $4,299 in student loans. I am going to start looking for an lawyer but if there is a lawsuit already in place I am more than willing to assist in any way that I can. I have attended 6 other schools including online programs prior to Walden and they are by far the absolute worst school I have ever attended. I don't know how they even call themselves a school! The professors don't even read your work, you can never get in contact with anyone, when you do they tell you to go read a 300 page document, or direct you to an online source that takes you 2 hours to find. My email address is Rebekah.hall29@gmail.com if anyone needs to contact me. Just reading others comments makes me sick to my stomach but makes me realize that Walden needs to pay for what they have done to us.

When I did my Oral Defense of my Proposal, she (on the recording) says she was wowed by my presentation (content and my public speaking) because she never expected me to make it that far. Shortly after my defense, she was removed by the university with no explanation. Many former students let current students who had her that the university was harassing her and it was likely the reason for her odd work and feedback to us. My second chair was amazing and got me finished in about a year after 5+ years in dissertation. I lost my second member as well and got no help. The MyDR system might be an overall improvement but because of lag time in notifications and "resets" I think it adds time to many steps by locking people out while the computer does its thing. The university seems to have take some steps to fix the process, but they are kicking people out who have been stuck and they have made to effort to make amends to those of use who did not demand refunds for quarters spent waiting for feedback. I am thrilled to have my Ph.D. and wish I had understood more about Walden when I enrolled. They explained that the full Psychology Licensure program was 4-4.5 years. I did my internship and then struggled through dissertation for several more years.

I was a student in the MS Organizational Psychology program. I was near the end of my program but had to drop out after being jerked around and racking up insane debts. I cant access my transcripts because i magically owed $800 which became $1000. I didnt know there was a class action lawsuit until I got a noticed via Facebook.

Yes, I am having the same Issue. I am currently in my 14th 9000 course (Doctoral Study Proposal) and on my 3rd Chair/Mentor, started in the DBA Program February 2012, finished all courses summer 2013 and had completed Sections 1 and 2 of my doc study proposal by December 2014 and that is when I was informed that I had to start over because I did not have a "Business Problem" I complained to the Dean/Directors but to no avail, So I am now over $120K in student loan debt, but no degree just stuck in the ABD stage. I thought it was just me for a minute, because the faculty did not want me speaking of this in the course to my colleagues, but now I understand why! I would love to be a part of this Class Action Suit against Walden and their unqualified faculty as I see that their are too many that have suffered in the same way dealing with Walden University...it is all about the money with them.

I had a 6-year degree when representatives came to my school. We had a cohort of 5 that started together. I was told that it would probably take less time because I could just build on my research. Instead, my thesis went on forever. The committee would return my paper with MINOR corrections to be made. Once it was resubmitted, they would find a few more. This went on for months. My chair quit in the middle of the process, and the committee was reformed. My second chair finally told the committee that approving the paper and then sending it back with more minor corrections was ridiculous. Only when he threatened to go above their heads was I allowed to defend. I found a couple of lawyers willing to take the case, but I decided I could not tackle it alone. I definitely want to be a part of the lawsuit. Walden is a criminal organization!

Seeking justice for Yvonne S & her family!



I enrolled in Walden’s PhD in Education –Knowledge Management program and receive straight A’s and satisfactory progress until I complained about continuously being enrolled in a stagnant program of KAM’s. I was often charged with making redundant changes on the same document and even complained about the lack of direction in the PhD program as well as constant requirement changes. I began to identify a pattern that continued to generate revenue for the University, while maxing-out my federal loans.

Unfortunately, my journey ended one semester when my professor failed to show to the online session, yet students were still required to pay the $5,000/quarter. As none of my papers were graded, yet they wanted me to of-course enroll in a subsequent quarter, I filed a complaint. After years of straight A’s and satisfactory progress, I was issued my first unsatisfactory progress. This complaint resulting in the school deciding that I had not met satisfactory progress – that is – after my federal loans maximum was met. I refused to pay for the last class and a grievance was sided in favor of the educator, which the University ultimately withheld my transcript.

In addition, I struggled with having a mentor with a background, including her PhD in Medieval Studies, and not specializing in the field of education. Then there was the no show for class and no grading of submitted coursework, because of travel to foreign areas with no phone service.

Also, it shows conflicting interest when the mentor is compensated based on the number of students s/he mentors. This deters him from transitioning students through the program. Then the University knowingly allowed my earlier mentor to overload the number of students mentored.

I have always instilled in my children to start a journey and finish it, but this has been the one journey that is haunting me, because I am more than capable of reaching the finish line, if Walden wasn't corrupt.

I want in the class action suit!

I attended Walden University from Sept 2009-May 2013. I tried to take a medical leave of absence because of unexpected health issues and when I was granted, the instructor of the class I was taking told me I would fail the course unless I completed all the course work, when the whole point of the medical leave was because I couldn't complete it, so I failed the course. I later applied to restart and was informed that I had to retake the course, I was 5 classes from finishing my MSN in Education and then found out that because I was a travel nurse at the time, that I would not be able to complete the program because of the requirement that I needed to locate a preceptor 1 term prior to my final term and I even emailed the program director asking how I was supposed to be able to locate a preceptor that far ahead when I didn't even know where I was going to be during my final term, I was told that many nurses are able to. I asked for further insight into how that was possible when travel nurses don't know where they will be for their next assignment until less than 30 days before they would be assigned. I never got any further answers and had to withdraw because I couldn't find a preceptor. I now have almost 100,000 dollars in student loans and no advanced degree. I have tried to see about completing a BSN but none of the credits transfer and because I took post grad classes, I can not get financial assistance to obtain a BSN. I can't afford out of pocket tuition and when I even decided to try going through Walden for my BSN, the advanced courses meant nothing towards the BSN and I was told I would have to pay for my books up front out of pocket. I feel like it is hopeless and now I will never be able to get an advanced degree because of the run around from Walden.

I am a Clinical Psychology PhD student at Walden University. After over 6 years in school, I am almost $200,000 in debt. I have an MA but not in Psychology. I was well into the program before I found out that there was actually a bridge program which would have allowed me to get my MA in Psychology on my way to getting my PhD. I also didn't find out until much later that it will be almost impossible for me to get licensed in the state of Pennsylvania. I have reached out a number of times over the years to try and get assistance with little to no success. I even had to go outside of the Clinical Psychology Program to find my Chair. Of the ones that took the time to answer, none of them had the bandwidth or interest to take on the role as my Chair. Fortunately, I was able to find one in the General Psychology Program. In my time at Walden, other than my dissertation chair, only one person has spent any time actually trying to help me. Even my other dissertation committee member is unable to make time for me or provide me feedback in a timely manner. I lost almost an entire corner waiting for his feedback which is supposed to be provided within two weeks. Unfortunately, the Clinical Psychology Program has changed so much since I started that my options are limited for getting out of Walden with some type of degree without increasing my debt even further. I am not currently enrolled because I owe tuition from past quarters and can't take out any more loans. I am extremely disappointed in my experience with Walden. They are definitely more concerned with getting your money than ensuring students are able to graduate with a degree.

I am in my 7th year of my Ed.D Program. I am currently battling my URR for the third time on edits. I have not written anything since April 2015 and I am in a continuous loop of edits with the URR. Throughout this program I've had three Committee Chairs. The first one when out indefinitely on sick leave, the second one gave no feedback, my third chair has been wonderful however my URR completely says the opposite of my Committee Chair and Co-Chair and every time. I have been working on Final Approval since May. I am currently unable to pay take out anymore student loans and I can no longer afford to pay out of pocket. I was accepted on a full scholarship to the University of Maryland and Howard University through a cohort in my school district, but decided to stick with Walden when I was allowed to change Chairs. This way I would not have to start my entire program over. I should have started over. This is been the worst experience every. I'm a principal of a large ELL school in a high poverty neighborhood and I have had to take off a ridiculous amount of days to work on this dissertation. Walden University is not concerned with their students' education, but they are very concerned with taking students' money.

Both my wife and I signed up for the undergrad program thru Walden University thinking that furthering our educations was a great step towards the future. 4 months in and having a 4.0 gpa you would think that we had the course material down, WRONG . Halfway into my Biology course I was finding the course material didnt relate to the literature . Numerous times I explained to the instructor that I was having this issue. I ended up with a D+, thus ending my 4.0gpa. When I tried to sign up for more classes Every class I tried for wasnt being offered without a manditory leave first . This went on for 3 full class runs before my membership as well as my wifes was terminated for poor attendance. Now im stuck with 30k in student loans and no furthered education to show for it

I would like to report that such practices, prolonging dissertation process and or not providing appropriate dissertation chair faculty was the main reason why I did not complete my dissertation after having completed all my course requirements. This dates back to 2007, I started my course work in the summer of 1999. Two of my dissertation chairs were on medical leave one of them passed away and the second dissertation chair was ill and did not provide the support needed to complete my dissertation. Since my last attendance date I attempted to re-enrolled and they basically added more course work to my original plan. So I ended with an large debt in student loans and no degree.

Wow! It is crazy how many stories are similar. I was one Doctoral Study Completion class away and my "mentor" stepped down. The new one came in and told me I needed to change 90% of my 70 page paper. I was very discouraged and quit going. She didn't drop me even though I didn't talk to her after the first week. Now there is a hold on my account, so I cannot receive my transcripts. $100,000 in student loan debt and cannot even show I have an ABD. Is there a way to be a part of the class action lawsuit?

One thing is for sure, they are a fraudulent institution and it will catch up to them.

Dear Sir or Madame:



I am writing to you today to attempt to join your lawsuit and enlist your aid in publicizing my plight. I am a special needs student. In 2009, I enrolled at Walden University, a for profit, on-line university in the hopes of earning my DBA. Once I began my DBA project in earnest, I was told by my "project supervisor" to consult the Walden DBA Rubric, which I did. Several years, several changes to the DBA rubric, and tens of thousands of dollars later, I still did not have my DBA.



Despite being given the project topic of how nervous disorders affected sufferers in the workplace, I was told to change because of so-called “rubric creep." They would not even "grandfather" me through the changes to the rubric. This, in effect, placed me in the position of having to hit the proverbial “moving target.”



In October of 2014, I contacted Sebastian Dawiskiba with Senator Michael Bennet's office regarding filing a complaint against Walden University. In November 2, 2014, tragedy struck, and I was forced to withdraw from the program. I became extremely ill and was only able to begin pursuing this matter in earnest again in 2015. I have filed complaints with several agencies to no avail.



The fact that I will never earn my doctorate as my late mother and father wanted so badly is one of the most difficult things I have had to deal with. I hope that you are able to help me publicize this matter. I have not been able to secure legal assistance on a contingency basis. I am financially poor and have no money for a retainer. To date no lawyer I have contacted has the guts to go up against Walden University. I am extremely eager to move forward, talk to an attorney, and join this class action lawsuit. Please believe me when I tell you that any help you could possibly be would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.



Respectfully,

I would like to join this class action suit against Walden University. I have experienced the same issues. I started the DBA program in 2012 and was told it would take 2-3 years to complete due to credits received from the MBA program. The guidelines and requirements changed so many times that I have had to start over again and again. January 2015, after my chair resigned, I had to start over yet again. Now, my student loans have maxed out and I have no more money to complete the degree. I am 100K in debt, with nothing to show for it. I feel like I have wasted 3 years. I complained to the director of our program, and her solution was for me to pay to attend ANOTHER DBA Intensive and really focus on writing. What kind of answer is that? She did not speak to or address any of the issues I raised: continuous changes, wasted tuition dollars, inability to make progress through the program, inconsistencies in expectations. We are still working on the proposal 3 years later. I should be finished by now. I was misled. I am very unhappy with the results of the DBA program.

I am now two years into the dissertation writing process and have made zero progress. I keep making the changes requested and then told it was not done correctly. I've spent over $100k on this degree now, am almost out of funds, and will probably not be able to complete the process.



There have been instances where I was told to make a change, did so, then told it was incorrect and even should have been the original way. To me this process seems to be a scam of constant prolonging in order to keep students in the process till they run out of funds, draining them.



I'm very upset with this process and what has been done. I've written to Walden for financial assistance as in a brick and mortar school during a dissertation process or thesis you do not pay every single semester. As a rule, once coursework is complete you are given a certain amount of years where you do not have to pay tuition to complete the writing process.



I will do whatever it takes to figure out a way to bring Walden to justice. They are clearly acting in bad faith for students.

I want to add my name to the list of persons that are participating in the lawsuit against Walden University. I've experience similar circumstances as described by the majority of persons that are posting. The educational experience was that of changing the doctoral study rubric, program requirements, methodology, and design at a moments notice and forcing students to comply. The cycles of reviews were endless over things that were non significant so that papers could be recycled back through the review process costing students thousands and thousands of dollars. My chair even told me that I was supposed to be finished 1.5 years ago. In addition, I experienced being held back so that another student could catch up to me in the process. When I enrolled in the program, I contacted Walden University and was told that the program costs were $35,000 and it's costing significantly more, a switch and bait that is in the culture of all that they do and say to prolong students from receiving their degree. All of these things I believe were unethical practices and I want to join Walden class action lawsuit.

May I just say thank you all for speaking up! Because I almost became a victim. I was in preliminary application and had uneasy feeling because questions I asked would not be answered, rather the recruit would say can you send transcript resume etc. Then I saw terrible reviews on Grad Report, complaints in all fields and programs. Shockingly there's class action lawsuit so I just now emailed Walden recruit to close my file. I will not proceed with Walden thanks to your voices. I have masters poli sci and public policy admin from university of Missouri and I was going into doctorate at Walden

You all deserve financial compensation and this school should not be able to prey on others like me. I literally was saved by your voices in my few searches online! It is unbelievable the repetitive comments, similar scenarios, and complaints. I am just amazed this has happened to everyone. But then again I almost got swindled as well. I hope each of you gets justice, at least in monetary form. They took more than that from you. How easily my recruit told me, "no, the bad reviews are just some opinions, the star studded reviews are not there..." and so I felt ok to keep going until I saw doctoral students had to resort to class action. Sickening!!! I literally closed my eyes and thanked God for sparing me, because I have enough problems in acquiring proper schooling for my autistic son. Omg this would have been the death of my spirit for sure. You saved one person at least-thanks! Actually you saved a whole family! I will always be hoping for progress in your lawsuit and wish you best. Btw all of your reviews/ commentaries are so intelligent-good for you! Proud of your achievements against all odds.

I have similar issues with Walden University as well. My biggest issues are that I had a great chair for one year and a half, who did not guide me through the dissertation process and correctly for it to be seen by my URR. I got slammed by my URR three times when my chair submitted it. It got to the point where my URR basically told my chair that better guidance is needed otherwise I need to look into alternative degree (Masters in Education); as this whole ordeal was not my fault. As a doctoral student since 2009 to switch my degree I don't think so. My program finally recognized this situation and switched my chair. Meanwhile I have incurred about 120K in financial aid from then until now. With all the work I have done, paying out of my savings in edits, I should switched to a Ph.D program instead. I can't wait until I graduate, but NOT looking forward to the loan repayment that I will have to make to Navient for the rest of my life.

Yes, I have been trying to get the DNP for the nearly four years. The have worked on the proposal for years and keep going around in circles. When the feedback is made and adjustments are given it takes to long of the response. The responses are not helpful, the committee has asked the same questions over and over again. You feel like you are in a trap, invested too much to quite but it is too expensive to take loans and not get the degree. Everything was fine until you get to the capstone phase. The turn a round time for feedback takes too long it often leads to another semester and more money. It is very depressing to get so close and see other finish programs when you should have been finished a long time ago.
