I emailed to let the school know that my father was in hospice and that I was in no shape to complete my class.  The only option they gave me was to get caught up in to weeks when I asked to withdraw prior to the class starting. I was told that since I had signed into my student account that I was responsible for the full course. Additionally the gave me an F and not a withdrawal.  This is supposed to be a Christian school but has no compassion.  I have tried to no avail to get them to remove the F at the minimum. I told them they could keep the 1500.00. Unfortunately still nothing. Sad that they claim to be Christian but won't do the right thing.

Beware if you are going to school online, No one will call you back except you recruiter. I have been waiting 5 days for a call back or a email from student adviser Seth Brisker Not sure if he still works there, Im personally thinking about going to a different school.

Heather Ward's and Rhayanna Chandler's reviews criticizing Ohio Christian University's accreditation are 100% NOT true.  Ohio Christian University is regionally accredited through the  Higher Learning Commission, the same agency which accredits highly rated and renowned public and private universities such as Purdue University, The University of Notre Dame, Northwestern University, Drake University, DePaul University, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, Creighton University, University of Arizona, Oberlin College, Marquette University, University of Wyoming, and University of Nebraska - Lincoln.  That list is only a small selection of major universities accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.  Regional accreditation, which Ohio Christian University holds, is the gold standard of accreditation in the United States.  To further emphasize the importance of regional accreditation, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton are all regionally accredited.  Ohio Christian University is rated as a top-tier university by the US News College Rankings for 2016 and is ranked as #62 for regional colleges in the Midwest.  I am a proud alumnus of Ohio Christian University and I graduated in April 2016 with a BA in Business Management.  I felt it necessary to present the facts about Ohio Christian University and its regional accreditation, which is NOT religious accreditation.  Both Heather Ward and Rhayanna Chandler are clearly inaccurate in their reviews of the university.  As a matter of record, Ohio Christian University is ALSO accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education simply because it is a Christian university.  Being a regionally accredited university, I do not believe  Heather or Rhayanna when each state they are dead in the water and credits do not transfer.  The only reasons a course from Ohio Christian University would not transfer to another regionally accredited college or university are as follows:  Either the receiving school feels that certain credits they took are credits from courses which are a duplicate of other courses they took or the courses do not apply toward their major at the new college and they already have enough elective credits.  That is the case any time a student transfers from one regionally-accredited college to another.  I personally have researched MBA programs at other colleges which all are willing to accept Ohio Christian University's credits in full from my BA in Business Management degree program.  Heather and Rhayanna are correct that the university requires books to be purchased at the Tree of Life bookstore.  However, I find that to be very convenient because I do not have to pay for the books out of pocket, since financial aid covers the books to begin with, and because I do not have to search for the books elsewhere because the books are automatically shipped to the student for each course.  The only books which I found to be expensive are the math books which had to be purchased as brand new.  For most courses the student can either lease the books or purchase used books to keep costs down.  In regard to the devotional requirements, most Christian colleges require some sort of chapel attendance or that religious courses to be taken as part of their degree programs.  Typically, students choose to attend a Christian college because they want to have that experience.

Very disheartened.  The books are VERY expensive - math book was almost $300.  No option to purchase books elsewhere, they are contracted with Tree Of Life Book store and ALL students MUST pay their prices.  Found the same books for 1/4 of the cost many other places brand new.  Issues with a professor were handled appropriately on my end, no complaints there.  My biggest complaint is that I found out their degree's are not worth the paper they are printed on unless you are going into ministry, which I am not.  I am working on a business management degree.  My credits DO NOT transfer to a traditional community college. Their accreditation are not through higher education organizations, they are through religious organizations making those credits worthless to any other college or university and I am not over $10000 in debt. I have spoken to several colleges and I am dead in the water with over 1 year wasted.  I emailed the school 2 days ago, but have received no response.  Course work, aside from Algebra, were not difficult or challenging.  Just a lot of writing and a template to put it all in.  Lots of devotionals and Bible study though, but I can get that at church.  Was looking for a challenging school, Christian based, that I could possibly transfer to a local college at a later date.  This is not it.    feeling deflated.
