      This school is not accredited anywhere near me and I had my son enrolled in this program for one month and now they want me to pay them over $400 for what little work he done on there and the credits cannot be accessed on his profile without paying them to release them.

      Dear Ashley S****, thank you for taking the time to provide a review about Penn Foster. We welcome all feedback and use each suggestion to improve our student’s experience. We would like to add that every student situation is different, and we would like to treat them independently as Penn Foster is devoted to the educational advancement and satisfaction of all our students. When enrolling into our program, we do advise all students to verify that our current national accreditation with the DEAC and Cognia will be sufficient. As stated directly from our website, “The Penn Foster High School Diploma is a proprietary program. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the program and program award satisfy the education requirements of potential employers, desired postsecondary institutions, and all other relevant agencies.” Additional accreditation information can be found here: *********************************************n Also, if student’s wish to order transcripts, any liability for the credits they have taken must be satisfied before being eligible. Thank you, Laura C****.

      Dear Jaci S****, thank you for taking the time to provide a review about Penn Foster. We welcome all feedback and use each suggestion to improve our student’s experience. We would like to add that every student situation is different, and we would like to treat them independently as Penn Foster is devoted to the educational advancement and satisfaction of all our students. When enrolling into our school, the person signing the legal agreement is attesting that all facts are true, and they are the person they claim to be. Our dispute policy can request a review of a police report of fraud/stolen identity. I was unable to locate the account to review with the information provided above. I will reach out directly to get further information to assist with the situation. Thank you, Laura C****.
