Sanford brown orlando

My email is carnley. Before completion, the school informed me the program I was attending does not have the proper accreditation for me to obtain national certification to become a registered technologist after the school is completed. I was always told if I considered to drop the program, I would still be liable for all costs of the loans used for the program.

Due to not being accredited and for me not being able to obtain certification, I know have these school loans bringing me more and more in debt as time goes on and unable to obtain a job due to the failure of information from the school prior to signing up for the program. Thank you. What about all of the Student that Used the GI-bill… robbing out Vets on a leg up after putting their lives on the line.

Not able to transfer credits? Please let me know if you find the answer to this, i went on the same year, no luck with a job, no credits to transfer, and had to start school all over again. I went there ages ago and have nothing to show for it. We should figure out how to do a class-action suit. O I totally agree I was there from to and I did the nursing program and a lot of the places I went to interview at told me to my face they would not hire me because of going to that school even though I got my diploma.

I graduated from Brown College in Minneapolis back in from their Radio and Broadcasting program. I obtained the associates degree, not the certification program. I drank the kool-aid big time. When I graduated, I went to their job placement department.

What did they do for me? Give me a book of radio stations and a quiet place to start calling them. I was so incensed. I did all the work.

I found my own job. So I went on my way, had to get out of the field for a short time. Wanted to get back in a couple of years later. Never a call back, no email, no letter…nothing. They got their money and I got to put I have an associates degree on my resume.

So much debt, a stinging reminder of how I was messed over. You can call us toll free at Best of luck and hope to hear from you today! What a farce. Can we start a class action lawsuit? Hi I attended Sanford Brown and can not find a job in my field as a medical coder. And I have an outstanding loan balance. The problem is most colleges do background checks when you are going into the medical field which they did not and because I have an background no hospital will hire me. What can I do?

Could you maybe clarify? I happened to stumble across your name today in our system and when I saw your name here in our comments as well, I knew you sounded familiar!

I graduated Sanford Brown Houston in needless to say we had to fight to get our graduation because our campus was going to start closing. Another question I was made to believe that we could also test for the phlebotomy of which I wanted to do but as it was I had to fight to get them to pay my RMA testing, I went into SB wanting to do ultrasound but was told it required me to do 6 months in Medical Assisting I graduated Medical Assistant but was never offered to do the ultrasound I originally wanted, I still have all the paperwork of the program and slot of it I did not get.

I attended classes for Medical Assisting. I went into this field cause I have always wanted to be in the nursing field. I feel as though this school was a complete disaster in every way possible. Now we will surely be in debt for the rest of our lives and our families suffer too. I would like to know what my choices are because in all honesty I can not afford this loan repayment at all. I would like to go back to school for something more worth my time and money and this mistake is a burden in every way possible.

I need to move away from this so I can push forward for me and my children. Straight to the point Sanford Brown got over. I had to pay out of pocket and get loans. I am an alumni from Sanford Brown located in Florida in Career services never helped me. What will this do for my Medical Assistance Diploma? Also I paid with my money out of pocket and loans. This is very discouraging and hurtful that they will play with people lives and money like this.

Thanks for your input. You have some pretty eye-opening and excellent points to share! Give us a call toll free at Hope to hear from you soon! Katie Bentley kbentley usstudentloancenter. I totally agree they should drop all student loans. They did a horrible job placing students when it came to job placements.

I was one who did not get place and It took me almost a year to find a job and I had to set up an payment arrangement with the student loan people. I Graduated with High Honors a 4. I have paid some of my loan back but due to no help from the school getting a job and not finding a job in the medical field, I had to put my loans in deferment twice already.

When I graduated the school called me one time and send they sent out my resume to ONE place. After that I never heard from them again, and all the resumes I sent out and jobs i applied for have said Sanford Brown is not accredited school, which they said they were when I started there. Is there any help I can get regarding this matter? Ashley, we help students like yourself who have felt lied to and who have ended up stuck with student loans find a way to help you manage or get out of your student loan debt easier and faster, even if you are having trouble finding a job and even if you have already had your loans in deferment more than once or couple times.

As you may know, deferments are meant to be a temporary fix to a problem and if a borrower uses a deferment as more than that, you could be doing more damage than good! So find out sooner rather than later how you may be able to get help or get rid of your loans by reaching out to Dawn by phone or her email at dwolff usstudentloancenter. Its Gibbs all over again.

I attended Gibbs later merged with Sanford Brown in and it ended up closing. So many students were upset that it was closing and then the bomb dropped about them not being accredited. The school was like a ghost town after those announcements. To this day I wonder why I even went to Gibbs. My spirit was broken for a while.

It really sucks that I have to redo all the classes because the credits I earned are garbage. I hope someone files a class action Lawsuit someday. This campus was plagued with problems for the duration if my course and beyond. Subsequently closing. I was promised Jo placement assistance,career advice,told as a grad I could attend any campus anytime for a refers of the MBC course at no cost.

They gave me nothing but grief the entire time I attended. I was pulled aside and told to keep my mouth shut about problems with the N Loop Campus and problems I had signing on to the college campus. Both sites promised job placement assistance and never followed thru. In fact the instructor for the MBC course who was the chair for the program never responded to e mails sent by me.

In fact I had to miss class 2 times, once due to work,once due to severe weather. She responded the second time saying I was dropped from the class because of attendance issues. No one at the campus would respond to my request for information or assistance with Jo search or placement assistance. What options do I have?

Based on the information you have told me so far, it sounds like you could see some serious relief from that loan you are stuck with. She has specialized in this area for many years and she can go over your options in full detail in mere minutes with you.

It could be well worth a few moments of your time! Please reach out to her directly at or dwolff usstudentloancenter. Thank you!! I attended sbc in collinsville il. It closed in jan I graduated in aug from the mbc program. I excelled highly. Went on several job leads and interviews.

Please reach out to Student Loan Counselor, Dawn Wolff at to speak to her about how you may be able to get help, as there are several different options for people that are in the same situation as you.

The campus closed a few years later. I have used every avenue available to get my transcript and have been told by the corporate office that they have no record of a campus in North Kansas City. I guess that several thousand other people and I must have been having the same hallucination of having gone to class every day for 18 months.

My opinion: this overpriced scam should have been shut down years ago. I now am in the process of trying to obtain proof of accreditation. If your loans are taken out through a U. Department of Education approved loan servicer, there is hope for international students who have federal student loans.

We are not affiliated with Sanford-Brown or any other educational college or institution. Please contact the school to collect this information. The sad thing is all these students that attended SBC have or has the same issue. They sent everyone job leads through an email that had students from the surrounding areas attached.

My degree that I earned from them is almost entirely worthless and when I went back to school to get my nursing degree, I learned that not one of the credits transferred and I ended up having to pay to take the same classes all over again. I too think that all outstanding debt from these schools should be wiped out simply due to the fact that they misrepresented themselves and grossly over charged!

Oh yeah, and I had a 4. I now tutor nursing students in their pre-req courses. He had a very hard time finding a job, but he got one that pays less than what I make. We are barely making it now!! One of my instructors was a chef by trade. She was teaching pharmacology. She did not know anything about the course.

When we would ask her a question, she would tell us to just Google it!! Very sad that I am drowning in student loan debt to make less than 15 an hour! I agree completely. I graduated in Hazelwood, no help finding a job, they gave us open book tests. I typed one paper double spaced and got an A, next guy to me, wrote in his in pencil, half a paragraph and got an A too, this school was a joke.

I took an accounting test at a job interview and failed it but I got a 3. A big joke! Reading most of these comments, I am reminded of the entitlement attitude that we face today. I enrolled in SBI in Woodbridge with a newborn, took the night classes, worked hard to study, and graduated with an almost 4.

Graduated in I had two job offers before finishing my externship. I am still at the job I chose, I work in an urgent care facility and have learned a tremendous amount from being there. I am now enrolling in a RN program at a community college. These programs are what YOU make of them. They are NOT obligated to find you a job. It is your job to act in a way that an employer finds you desirable. It is YOUR responsibility to learn! I am thrilled I have the education I do and I worked Damn hard for it!

Took both of my certification programs which is why I am where I am! But then I wonder, why are they expecting the school to find them a job? I hope I have an experience like yours.

Unfortunately the closing of the school does not mean that you are free from paying your student loans back. Students and graduates of the Sanford- Brown community will still be responsible for paying back any federal students loans that they acquired while attending the school.

There are several government repayment programs that can help you pay your loans. Please contact us if you feel you need help with your loans at What am I supposed to do? I previously graduated SBC Cleveland in for. MA I found a job as a phlebotomist which I love! I went back to SBC for the CVS program in and after 2 months was told about the teach out they were doing…the teacher that actually taught the sonogram part the class along with other classes quit because she had to find another job and the program director took over as the teacher…he was terrible and very unprofessional!

So on top of not getting a good education I am now in major debt. I feel betrayed by the school with their lack of compassion for the students. I feel so sorry for anyone else who was put in my position and now I have to repay money that was pretty much taken from me. I am swimming in debt from my ms program and I am on fmla from the associate degree program and did not know about them closing so will I not get to finish school now and still have all the debt to pay with no job.

I graduated from sandford brown in I am surprised they are closing. School was expensive and I still them probably 12, They sent me on one bad externship , but the second one was great. At the end of the day I found my job myself. YOU have. Sandford Brown I paid nothing out of pocket and I am now working as a medical assistant. The career advisers are a joke. They are salesman pushing numbers. I also have had the most difficult time getting my transcripts.

This is very sad, how much money I now have to pay back for absolutely nothing. I went to Sanford brown in I used the money from my trustfund that was raised for me when I had cancer at a young age. Little did I know that letting the school know my medical history was my biggest mistake because they kicked me out because of it.

Need help on my loans from Sanford-Brown! Can some of them be forgiven. No job! Just need to know some information! Brenda, please reach out to us to go over your situation in detail.

There is help and potential forgiveness on federal loans that we would love to discuss with you. You can reach out to a student loan counselor toll free at Look forward to hearing from you! My instructors were awesome and always there.

I went to an allied health office for my internship and was able to use everything I learned. I was truly Blessed. I must say I keep in touch with a lot of my classmates and they have also been successful with medical asst positions. For me it was a fabulous experience. Nakia thats great! I was so close. I had four months to graduate. My father passes away in Florida.

I had to leave for a week to bury my father. I asked permission they said it was alright. Do what I have to do. When I got back they tell me about the all or none law they have. They told me I had to start from the beginning again. So after almost a year in a half of study they wanted me to start from scratch. You could image how hurt I was. I just left it at that. Nothing I could do. I was a private school with its own rules.

Nothing could be done. Now I owe student loan money. Thank you so much for your comment…and congratulations on utilizing your degree. Feel free to contact us should you decide to look in to options for repayment of your student loans.

You can refer your friends as well. The amount of whining in these comments is unbelievable! I passed the VTNE on my first shot a month after school ended and have been working since. I researched student loans before I took them out and, again, researched payment plans when I had to start paying them back. Enroll in a traditional higher education program. See how much they help with job placements and debt payments.

No one is hired to hold your hand. Be an adult for a change. I totally agree with you. I graduated from there in I know a long time ago where they told me my credits would transfer. I attended the Houston campus. I had over 3 years experience in that field and also as a loan officer. Thankfully I was hired on by the hospital no thanks to the school but due to my previous work experience, once I finished my externship I applied for a Surgical Tech opening in several other facilities including where I worked.

I have never had any luck with a position that I went to school for and I am in huge debt. I am greatful I build my own experience and worked my way up with the facility I work for to management but it was no thanks to the school or training received there.

I secured a management position through my own work ethics and dedication to myself. I went to Sanford brown in graduated with a 4. What a huge waste of time and money and energy.

Although we are not affiliated with SB…you may want to call the National Clearinghouse to see if they have copies of the transcripts. You could also try to call Career Education Corporation the parent company of SB to see if they might suggest how you could receive an expedited copy of your transcripts. I have heard students have found success in doing this.

I went there and graduated in and thanks to them I am in a great job and because of the loans was able to get a down payment for my car that is now paid off in full. I emailed you Katie Bentley please get back to me immediately if possible I have some serious questions about all of this Thank you! I also went through SBI and was told they was going to help me get a job. I graduated Jan. The hospital I wanted to work at told me they do not take people from SBI.

This made me mad. I still owe on loans and am super mad cuz they are on my credit score now. Jane, there is such a thing as a disability discharge for federal student loans. If you have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment or are a veteran with a service-connected condition, you may qualify for a discharge, based on a total and permanent disability.

Please contact the Nelnet Total and Permanent Disability Servicer for further information and to obtain an application. Phone number: Email: disabilityinformation nelnet. Ask to speak with Dawn Wolff for student loan help or to be transferred to Monique Martin for credit score restoration questions. I went to Sanford- Brown in Jacksonville Florida.

I feel like that school was a joke! Please reach out to us to find options for your student loans. I am hopeful we might be able to assist you as we have others. Sadly I agree. I graduated from SB in I was a deans list student and graduated with a 3. My advisor for externship put me in a facility with promises of employment. In the end, there was no opening at that particular site.

Also, while some of the teachers were good, some were unprofessional and had to use textbooks riddled with errors. How do I know? They fully admitted that the textbooks were inaccurate…especially the medical terminology books.

He ran out of site the minute they came. This company seems to have a knack for teaching out and coming back to a different name. Our school used to be Katherine Gibbs school. Our student loans for financial aid do not come up at Sanford Brown.. What a coincidence huh?

I believe we should be forgiven of our loans and this school should pay for their deceiving ways to sucker people like us who are desperate to have a future.

I attended Sanford Brown in for their surgical tech program. Worst school teachers were awful. They only like to take your money. My externship was a joke. I was told that they did not recognize the school as accredited. Had so much stress and feel like I was taken advantage of and tricked. This is bs because they said I could come back anytime for life to get a refresher course.

Now with them all closing I missed my opportunity. I attended SBI in. I was very displeased from start to finish, but had to stick it out because I had already put myself in debt. I wish those who are being thrown under the bus fine a way to counteract this mess. We all should file a class action suit against them. There are several grounds I believe to uphold in the courts.

Nia I graduated in and same thing. No job from their degree but heckling amount of school Loans and debt!! I completed the Medical Assistant program with a 4. In I went to employment plus, an MA recruiter laid it all down in front of me. I attended SBC over 10 years ago. I was told the college would help me with job placement and when it came time refused to help place me. They told me I knew how to use the internet and create a resume so I had to do it on my own.

I had head hunters wanting me until I was assaulted by my ex and landed in the hospital. I had to leave during the quarter and was allowed to make up work from home….. I have never been able to get a job in my field which was IT. Now everything has changed so much all I know is outdated. I also went for my BS and made it half way through the program. I was told the school was no longer going to have the program and I needed to look elsewhere.

They said they would not hold classes for only 3 of us. I was suggested to drop out so I did. As soon as I did and I no sooner got downstairs and the other two told me they were going to continue classes for just them two. I spent all that time for nothing. A lot of prospective employers sneered when they found out I went to SBC and always gave the jobs to others.

Even when it was an entry level position they would wait and then give it to someone else that came along even when they had enough experience to get a regular position. I feel that I got screwed and stuck with the bill. Not to mention all the sexual harassment that they tried to hide and cover up.

I graduated in and still no job, i cant even begin to tell u the amount of resumes i have sent out Last year i sent emails to career services asking for help and never heard from anyone. Now i have a huge debt that i cant pay, not to mention that now i can never go and take my last 2 certification tests.

Going there was the biggest mistake i ever made, most of the teachers and classes sucked, in some classes u didnt even have to do all the work but u till made the deans list. Gender Optional. Gender Male Female. Start Year YYYY Last Year Attended YYYY Highest Level of Education.
