Regis University — Attraction in Denver

I wish I could give this school ZERO stars. Some teachers press play on a recorded lecture during our "class," and thats how we learn. Other teachers read verbatim off of the slides. There is only one competent teacher - Mary Castang, but she only teaches the begining nursing classes. The teachers were very unprofessional and often didnt know answers to students questions. They are very power hungry, and will get in arguments with students who find mistakes or have questions about the material/books. The books are written by regis professors - an obvious conflict of interest and are required for the class. The clinical instructors are VERY untrustworthy, and will cover their back in an instant, and put the students at risk. Even though they are supposed to protect students, and teach them during clinical. The dean for the nursing school terrible, and should really be looked into. She claims to care about the students well being and wants them to suceed. Of course this all happens virtually or in a big lecture hall in front of all the students. When met with individually she acted as if she was listening and responded with a gereic response she probably tells all students/ has a list and chooses one that matches what the student says -- all she had to say was "I dont care," and literally reapeated that after I tried to explain. All very degrading and emotionally traumatizing when nurses in school are already loaded with busy work from class, and clinical work assigned by the clinical instructor and from the class teacher. Lisa Zenoni comes off as the sweetest lady during orientation, and seems super supportive of students succeeding. After school starts shes very passive aggressive, and gets very defensive when she is confronted about being wrong. All in all, if admitted to the nursing program, be aware of every rules in the student guide, and dont follow the directions of the clinical instuctors as those rules dont match the regis rules and those are grounds for dismissal. Understand the teachers and how they teach and be ready to teach yourself. As for the students, the younger students who went throught the regis college are very rude to the transfer students and try to get them in trouble due to the fact that theu are usually smarter, do really well in all the classes, and are very motivated.

Be very careful where trust is,placed as it is easilt used to get...

I have been attending the online classes for about a year now. The professors are really good and always helpful. The online interface for the most part is well organized and easy to navigate while the curriculum can be challenging, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to complete it. The most attractive thing about this college is its 100% online and has ABET accreditation in computer fields which is becoming a must among employers. I would give it a five, but due to the fact I am a veteran; the military department is only run by three people which is crazy because the amount of military students they have, so the service for vets a is a bet lacking. Also, because they are ABET accredited, If you are military don't expect alot of credits to transfer over from your JST's. Simple fact is that the military dose not concentrate on theory much in its training which is the back bone of electronics and computer field for the ABET. If you are going for the Computer science degree, be prepared for tight deadlines, thinking outside the box and crazy amounts of math including the calculus 1 and 2. My advice, stick to the General educations classes first such as your maths, science, social studies etc. See how you handle it, because you may decide to change majors depending how well you do in those areas. If you find that you are struggling in the math, probaly don't want to the computer science, because the programming requires drawling your own mathmatical math solutions using differential equations. Finally, if your are a vet, the University is only 250 a credit hour, so making it work with the TA is great. If you looking more for the hardware side of the house of computers, then I would check out Excelsior colloge based out of new york. Extremely military friendly and partnered with navy college, plus also ABET accredited in the electrical engineering (but an extremely hard program, last year they only graduated 5 for the entire year). Anyways, Good university if your looking for computer science, just be prepared for...

I would give Regis a negative star rating if I could.

I attended about 8 years ago and had no issues. I re-enrolled in January and have had nothing but issues. From getting people to return my call for enrolling to now, 7 months later, getting a $2,000 fee because they supposedly mistakenly gave me a scholarship (that they told me I got when I enrolled) and then reversed it causing me to get late fees and have a large balance now that my student loans won't cover. Many classes are disorganized and frustrating.

AFTER I enrolled in CIS they told me they are completely cancelling this degree program because they don't have enough students enrolling. It's now a mad dash to make sure I'm enrolled in every class because they won't be offering them again. I looked into transferring to CU Denver and they are requiring I send syllabus's for nearly all my Computer courses because they're considered unidentifiable. I was mixed between going to CU and Regis and apparently I made the wrong choice.

Spend your money at a better school than Regis. They are laying people off like crazy and are such a mess. This is too expensive of a path to be so poorly managed by them. So...
