      I have been working hard to finish my AA/Vet Tech Program through Ashworth.=, even with the school being in non-compliance with my *** needs as a disabled student. There have been so many problems the last couple of years, now they are losing accreditation and closing the whole school. Currently, I have tried to contact anyone that I can get a hold of to speak to someone at the school, but I have not had any response or support at all. At this point, I do not know how to complete my program and I am running out of time. They took all my scholarship money, and now it's like the school is non-existent for me to finish. I am so close to being done. I paid the school for the education that I am not able to get any support or communication to be able to complete my degree program. This is unacceptable and is impacting my current education and future career.

      Student Name: *******************              
      Student Numbers: AC2105118
      To Whom It May ************* welcome the opportunity to address Ms. ****** concerns. ************** enrolled into the Veterinary Technician Associate of Applied Science Degree on June 7, 2021, by submitting a signed enrollment agreement and down payment,
      Ashworth College complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the implementing regulations 34 CFR part 104 (barring discrimination on the basis of disability), and the Americans with Disabilities Act ***** of 1990 and the implementing regulations in 29 CFR part 1630 (1991). The school will offer a reasonable accommodation for any qualified student with documented disabilities provided the accommodation does not pose an undue hardship on the school or does not force the school to fundamentally alter the educational course, compromise its academic standards, or place the disabled individual in a better than equal position with nondisabled students.
      The claims ************** makes about Ashworth College closing are false. Ashworth College has made the decision to decommission the Ashworth College Veterinary Technician A.A.S. degree program only.This was effective May 1, 2024. The program will have Voluntary Terminal Accreditation Status through April 30,2026, which means learners will still be able to sit for the **** exam if they complete their program by that date. 
      As ************** is in her final semester with the degree,she does have enough time to finish prior to the Voluntary Terminal Accreditation Status expiring.
      We provided all students in the program notification in May of 2024 of the decommission plan. Students were offered 2 options. The first option was a no-cost transfer into the ***************** College Veterinary Technician A.S. degree program to finish. We would transfer all funds paid to Ashworth College to the Penn ****** Program and complete a transcript evaluation to apply the proper credits. The second option was to continue with the Ashworth Program. Students were advised they had 24 moths to complete all 4 semesters of the program if they chose this option. Students were advised they needed to be completed by 4/30/2026 to be able to sit for the **** exam.
      We are having a member of our Education team reach out to ************** directly to resolve any educational questions she currently has.
      Ashworth College is devoted to the educational advancement and satisfaction of all our students.

      Complaint: 22049163

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Even the letter that he is referring to states students will continue to be supported by the Ashworth College faculty and staff during this teach out period.

      The response does not address the issue that Ashworth College is not supporting the student at all. I receive emails from no-reply, which is not helpful at all and still no interaction with a person. If I transfer to *****************, I will have to repeat classes and externships, I have already been displaced while completing these. Still now, nobody has been able to tell me who my instructor is for my psychology class or how to connect. I have not received any support from anyone at Ashworth as they are unresponsive to my requested needs. The computer program for the psychology class is messed up and not even ****** or ******** can fix it. So ya, I still need assistance, or I need to get an Attorney.

      I am filing a complaint against Ashworth College due to their failure to provide timely access to courses and withholding my transcript. I have been enrolled in courses at Ashworth College, and they have consistently delayed providing access to courses after my start date. Additionally, despite repeated requests, Ashworth College has refused to release my transcript, which I urgently need for [state reason, e.g., job applications, further education].These actions by Ashworth College have severely impacted my ability to progress in my studies and fulfill my educational goals. I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with the college without success. Therefore, I am seeking BBB's assistance in resolving this matter promptly.

      We advise learners to enter the Enrollment Number associated with the specific program they are ordering documents for into the third-party system.

Three of these programs were withdrawn from, and the $20.00 down payment made during the enrollment process was refunded. The details are as follows:

I do not have any access to any classes. Anytime that I call in I am being told that someone will call me back. One person called me back. She stated she would help me. I have not received a response or a resolution. I have initiated several support cases they close them out and I have not had any resolution. I have been told they will submit a case to IT, no response or resolution. I was told a supervisor would reach out to me no response no resolution.

Situation 2: I have 2 pending enrollments for Semester 1 & 2 that I am making payments for. I have not been able to start one class. I transferred all of the classes in for Semester 1&2 but I still have a balance. I just graduated with an Associate Degree with Ashworth in ************************* in May.

      In January I signed up for a Business course to complement existing Associates. Due to time constraints I was not going to be able to do the course. In February I submitted a ticket through the portal to cancel and refund tuition. Ticket was closed February 13th (Ticket *******), did not hear anything else. Ashworth refuses to include text in the email as to what was in the ticket, and the "closed" indicated the request was completed. April, I start getting what I assume are collection calls (they don't say collection, but there's no other logical reason for them to be calling), caught by spam filter (so I knew nothing about it) and since Ashworth refuses to just send an email or regular mail when trying to reach me, I don't know what's going on. No, I will not waste 10 minutes fighting the portal. If they need to reach me, email and mail both work.

      Ashworth College is a scam. My student ID is ********. I signed for Basic Accounting class. This college offers only an e-book in exchange for the money. No an instructor or other help. The part of the class was a free Bookkeeping Certificate Exam. After I finished this class, I contacted the college to issue me a voucher to take an exam. It took me many attempts to contact the college and receive a voucher for the exam. Unfortunately, the college sent me an outdated website for scheduling an exam and wrong voucher. Again, I have tried to contact the college many times, five times, but they have not responded to my e-mails at all. No phone service/talk to a person directly is available. I made two online appointments. One was cancelled without an explanation. The second was painful. The person, *****************, recommended to continue to write e-mails and threaten me four time to terminate our conversation because of my questions. I am waiting for my questions to be answered : a correct website to schedule an exam and correct voucher , for a month. No response from the college. Please help.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and the response had an inaccurate information. Originally, the college issued a wrong voucher. After the complaint and emailing back and forth, the college, finally, provided a correct voucher.
      Sincerely,
