Please read this if you're considering this program…read more.. I am in finals week of my first semester of the accelerated associates program here. There are 7 classes you have to take in the first, 5 in the 2nd, 3 in the 3rd, 4 in the 4th, and 4 in the 5th. In my first semester, here is the good and the bad that I have observed: The bad: I have multiple classes from my local community college that I was told could be transferred over to make me program easier. They even said that I should go do another class at my community college before my Joyce program starts so that I didn't have to pay for it with them. They said that my program would be 15 months instead of 20 months. They said that people have kids and work full-time while doing this program. They said that they are flexible. All this is NOT the case. I found out later, (AFTER THEY SOLD ME THE PROGRAM, after I finished all enrollment requirements, and after I signed every enrollment document), that only one small class could be transferred over from my community college. I also found out that my program would not be 15 months, it would be 20 months. This was extremely disappointing because the transfer of credits and shorter program is what made me sign up for this program. Very strange miscommunication, if thats even what it was. Seems pretty big for a advisor to get wrong. I took this all to the dean, she did not care. All she did was ask me if I wanted to cancel my program. I was years and months into waiting to start this program at this point, canceling was not an option for me, especially with how much flexibility they claim to have, which is also not the case. I had to quit my full-time job, I don't even have kids and I still don't have time for anything. I'm barely getting by. I spend every waking hour of the day studying. I do not believe that there are people who have kids and work full-time while doing this program, I think they say it because it sounds good. If I knew about all of the bad before I committed to the program, I wouldn't have done it. I have given up so much mental health and physical health. Plus saying no to seeing family because I need to study is really sad. But I mean, it is an accelerated program anyway, but still wasn't expecting any of it due to the way they make it seem like sunshine and rainbows. The good: This is only my experience from the first semester. That being said, it is still absolutely doable. It is not impossible. And I have since changed my advisor (Doug) and he has helped me tremendously, leading me in the right direction now. There are many resources for for students from tutoring to one on one with your professor. They do weekly office hours where you can join a zoom and have any questions answered. You can reach out to them over email and they'll help you there (though sometimes they take kinda too long to reply to the point where you don't even need the answer to the question because it's too late, honestly). The material matches a lot of separate online resources that help with other study materials, like youtube videos. The academic schedule during the semesters (the first one at least), are pretty organized in my opinion and they do the same things every week. This is really nice for having a nice study schedule. They provide lots of material that is made for the quizzes and exams to help you practice and pass. The only thing I've struggled with is just having time to do it. Whatever is on your worksheets and slides, will usually be worded the same on the quizzes and exams. Sometimes, they even tell you exactly what questions are going to be on the quizzes and exams to help prepare you. They let you use a whiteboard during the tests too, which is nice for active recall, you can right down a bunch of stuff after you start your tests. I've also never had any technical difficulties on the cavas platform that they use, but if there is, they have 24hr IT support that responds fast. One time I was having an issue with respondus and my professor was very forgiving and relieved me of my late grade. I personally feel like the professors want success in the students. Some other random stuff: The platforms are easy to navigate. They always answer the phone. And the scrubs are cute, lol. Theres probably a lot that I'm missing here, maybe I'll add more later.

AVOID THIS SCHOOL AT ALL COSTS!!!!…read more The only reason I am giving one star is the professors. Majority of the professors are amazing and really do want you to succeed. However, I would be giving 0 stars if I could. The bad most definitely outweighs the good. This is one of the most if not the most expensive school in Utah, and they run more like a business than a school. They could not care less about their students. They are unprofessional, dishonest, and lack a basic respect for their students. It has gotten worse and worse every semester. Financial aid is terrible, they don't reach out to you until it is past due and then act like it's your fault when in reality, we had no idea until they messaged us. Then they will call and email you religiously (even while you are in class) until you get them their money. On top of this, they only work with 2 student loan lenders. These lenders are also terrible - rarely approves an application. Moving on, despite the large cost to attend here, none of your money goes to your education. You have to constantly pretend to do skills and reuse equipment, which half the time doesn't even work how it is supposed to because it has been used so much. Next, administration 100% has favorites and doesn't even try to hide it. Certain people get excused and are the exception to the rule while others don't even get a second chance. Some students can be late to our biggest testing day of 9th semester (the semester just before graduation) and it just slides by while others are in the hospital for an emergency and are denied to zoom call into class. In the academic catalog it states that if you are missing class for a medical reason, getting a doctor's note will excuse it, so I got a doctor's note one time and the dean tried to pry into my personal protected private health information, and broke HIPAA and FERPA by asking. Then when I mentioned that to her, she responded with I understand but it would help me make my decision of excusing it or not. Lastly, don't even get me started on the mess of graduation. First off, they said that we would get to vote on who we wanted as our student speaker for graduation. When we voted and had a clear winner, someone complained that it wasn't fair because she wanted to speak also. So like the favoritism there is, they send out another vote. This vote revealed the same winner. They continued to wrack havoc in that students life for being voted. They made her cry and treated her like she was a bad person all because someone was mad that they did not get voted for. She had to verbally stand up to the administration advocating for herself. Next, it took them until about halfway through our final semester to get us information about graduation because they hadn't booked a venue. Come to find out just the week before graduation that this venue has limited seating and we have to get tickets for those we want to come. Now if that isn't frustrating enough, we only get 8 tickets per person. This would be a different scenario if we had known this from the beginning, however we were never told that we are only allowed 8 people and all of us have invited many friends and family. Now because of this we had to go to all of those loved ones that we had invited and pick and choose who we want to give the tickets to. This is something that they knew when they booked the place. No venue withholds information like that upon booking. They simply withheld the information from us students as I'm sure they knew it would make us upset. I am positive this is because this was the cheapest option for a venue. We don't even have a stage. It is a black box theater which has a floor and lifted seating. You're telling me that the 2 million they made from my cohort couldn't cover a bigger graduation venue? I call bullshit. Despite all of the money we are all paying this school, we have nothing to show for it. We are getting treated like scum, there is no respect, no fairness, no professionalism, no empathy, and no trust. This school is not a school that cares about you and wants you to succeed. This is a business that cares about their paycheck. Think twice before coming here, you really do not get as good of an experience as you should for the investment that it is.

Beware, once they accepted you, you will be knee deep in loans and if you try to transfer their credits are worthless which force you to continue. It's a vicious cycle. They are notoriously dishonest & shady. They intentionally mask the fact that you can have a family, are online and go to school. This is a lie after you have followed all their requirements and sign the loan docs they will tell you to quit your jobs, make you go to campus several times a week and you miss out tremendously with your family. They lie about everything and are a complete nightmare. Unprofessional, disorganized & dishonest should be their mission statement. Some say they are Evil Gate College in Boise.
