Can’t Believe It… I Finally Received Accountancy Certificate.
Well, after months of running around in circles, I finally received the Certificate in Accountancy that I had earned from Strayer University. Honestly, I was starting to wonder if I would ever see it.
I had actually fulfilled all of the qualifications for it more than a year ago, March 2006. I can’t say that I fully understand why it took so long to get it. I had applied for it back in the Spring of ’06, but nothing ever came of that. Then, I got terribly busy with my undergraduate work at the University of Tennessee, Martin. I suppose that I never really gave it too much thought because of all the work that I was putting into my senior year. All of the sudden, though, graduation crept up on me, and I realized that I still needed that certificate- it’s one more thing to add to my job search arsenal. Besides, one doesn’t put in all that work to simply be overlooked.
So, I started working on getting it about 5 weeks ago. One email led to fifty. One phone call led to countless more, and it all amounted to one of the largest headaches in my life’s history.
“Oh, did you submit your Application for Graduation, Mr. Morgan?”
“Yes, I did- three times now. I’ve emailed it, faxed it, and sent a copy in the mail.”
Yes, that is what I dealt with for weeks on end. But I have the certificate now. It will really add to my portfolio, but had I it to do over, I would certainly choose another institution to earn an undergraduate certificate from.
I truly am thankful I never have to deal with Strayer University, again. Please, heed my warning… if a school is set up to make a profit, steer clear!!!
