South University, Austin — Attraction in Round Rock

I’m deeply disappointed with how South University handled my academic situation. According to their own handbook, students placed on academic probation are supposed to be given two consecutive semesters to raise their GPA. However, I was only given one semester—despite the fact that I had to withdraw from the program due to documented personal and health-related reasons.

I truly appreciate South University and its close-knit community, and I will continue my...

You never get your aid when you're supposed to, and when you inquire within the department about it, all you get is the run around... you should have it by this day... well it's should be this day actually... well it's out of our hands now... blah blah blah... every quarter. And every quarter they get a new "system" which gives them excuses for not having answers about your funds... it's a joke dealing with the staff of...
