Trident University

This review is because of the experience I went through during the admissions process. They require a TRA (Transcript Release Authorization), pretty standard but not always honored by all schools. When they attempted to retrieve my transcript from a previous college they were denied (which my previous college had a right to deny, in all honesty the TRA looks very unprofessional and when digitally signed your signature looks akin to a Lucid‘a Handwriting Font).
TIU’s representative Leslie fabricated a conversation between my previous college and herself stating that I had defaulted on my student loans with this particular school and I would have to retrieve my transcript from the school. At this particular school I had been able to attend due to PLUS Loan, there were no loans in my name, no outstanding balance, and I was in good standing upon exiting.
I called the school to verify what had taken place between TIU and the institution, the exchange was documented in their system. I would have respected her and this institution more if she had admitted they had been denied access to my student records. It sent me into a panic attack, I went back into student loan history to recheck all of my statuses, called old schools, made sure I had not been accidentally dropped from one of my current courses to be sure my In-​School status had not been affected by some unforeseen circumstance. There were no errors and I suffered copious amounts of unnecessary stress in my personal, professional, and academic lives.
Do not attend this school.

This school is very convenient for the person on the go and the best part is that they are accredited. There isn’t any wait list. Highly recommend you check out.

This is a nice little campus for such a large online school. It is not. The traditional brick and stone building that you would find at a four year. Nope. All the class works are done online. I just happen to live near here. So far my first class has be easy. I haven’t been in school in two years so I took the mandatory Trident Intro Class. So far the assignment have been self explanatory, easy to access and the staffs are extremely helpful. My professor has been keeping me posted on how well I am doing.
The staff seem to very organized. They are broken into teams and departments. Which is totally helpful because when you don’t know what you’re doing, the staffs do.

Really good school. Having attended a UC for under grad, I went to Trident for a masters program and the academic rigors and paper writing were much more challenging then a lot of the work I did at UCSB. Granted it should be being a masters program, but it was very educationally enriching. Also the online environment worked great with my schedule working and raising kids.
