I don’t know if it’s because of the pandemic but you can never get anyone on the phone. There is definitely a lack of communication. You have to email everyone which then becomes irritating because you’re continuously going back and forth about your problem and waiting for a response. I applied for the RN-BSN program back in March. I waited weeks and never received any Info/letter on whether I was accepted or denied. I was told by the program Director( Tamara Dennis) that letters of acceptance would be sent out the following week after reaching out. Weeks passed and still no letter. Reached out via email to the admissions team ( because no one answers the phone) requesting a letter of non attendance so that I could apply to another school- and surprisingly they informed me that I was accepted into the program. I informed them that I was told to wait on a letter of acceptance which is why I was unaware of my acceptance. I was CC’d to several people and they all were emailing over each other and no one listened when I said I would stay with Abac. The only reason I applied to another school is because I had not received anything regarding acceptance. Being that I’m ready to obtain my Bsn now I moved forward with another school. Lizzie from admissions who was CC’d in the email stated she would withdraw my application after I clearly emailed back that I would continue with Abac. I also emailed Tamara Dennis separately and informed her that I was still interested in attending fall semester. Logged onto my portal today to find out my application has been withdrawn. This has been a terrible...
   Read moreI attended ABAC for a brief period to try something new, after I already have a Criminal Justice degree, about six months ago. And it was my understanding that when you go to the book store anything you purchase gets charged to the student account. You then can borrow loans from the state to pay for this account which I did. Six months after I stopped going to ABAC I get an email saying there was a hold on my account. So I called The financial aid staff and talked to what sounded like an older lady. I asked why I had a hold of $99 and some change. She said when I stopped going to ABAC there was a refund of $99 that I spent at the book store so it was charged to my account. I was confused because I figured my loans would have paid for it and then I just pay my loans off. I also looked up my loan account and didn’t see a change in them. All I asked her to do on the phone was explain it a little better when she tells me “You are not entitled to $99”. That infuriates me when someone accuses me of being entitled because my whole I work for everything I had. I have paid for everything myself out of my own pocket since high school. My own first college degree was straight cash. And for this lady to accuse me of thinking I’m just an entitled kid is totally unprofessional when all I’m asking for is a little explanation. She obviously can’t explain it that well. The staff at this school is not like staff at other colleges I’ve attended, just rude and inconsiderate. I do not recommend this school to anyone, they will do anything to get an extra $99 from you because apparently ABAC really...
   Read moreThe school is overall a 3 star institution for sure, the administration is absolutely positively dreadful. From admissions to financial aid you will have to chase people all the time to get anything done, and sometimes that isn't even enough. There is one saving grace to this place, it is cheap, at least cheaper than some of the larger institutions in the state, that does matter when you are a college student, but that isn't why I'm giving this review an extra star. The extra star on my review is for the the teachers, they weren't all perfect but let me tell you, some of them were good hard working people who really had a positive impact on me in the early years of my academic career, so this 4th star goes...
