Student Services

Disability Act and Private Schools Location: CA Both federal and private loans want me to start paying for my tuition but I feel so defeated. I failed 2 classes in nursing school which starts the appeal process. Term after term they kept ignoring my appeal requests but encouraged me to keep applying. Eventually after a year!!! They responded only to tell me I didnt take school seriously and that my hearing condition (along with mental health issues) is not an excuse and despite seeing a professional and getting new hearing aids is not enough work on my end to go back to school. I feel so used. The teacher would actively teach at the back of the class only to go to the front to ask me questions about the lecture knowing full well Im hard of hearing. I tried asking student services for accommodation but they didnt know how to help and never got back to me. I wasnt allowed to Google anything about the lecture and would get called out for it. We can only take notes and follow the basic PowerPoint After a few terms of this I got depressed since my hearing aids were damaged and I needed new ones ASAP. I really tried my best at school. Took so much initiative but now the school is actively ignoring my emails. I filed the disabilities act against the school but whats the process like because I am not getting any updates or emails from them. Legally can I do anything? I dont know were to start. This school is such a scam and I feel like my life is ruined because of it. (American Career College)

A person named Jamie from Student Services in a SAT/ACT Prep Center claimed to be providing a service that my son had requested. They even knew my son's name. They claimed that he had requested studying materials to take the SAT that they would send me and then I would have to send back later, but they would charge me credit card in the meantime. It was only after giving them my credit card information that I realized it was a scam and I declined the purchase with my credit card company.

I received a phone call from a man who said that my high school student (they named my child) had requested ACT study prep materials and that they needed me to authorize the request and provide a credit card number to cover the deposit. She said the testing materials would be free but that some of the manuals would be on a flash drive that would need to be returned after 30 days. As long as we returned the drive, the deposit would be refunded. This seemed legitimate as my child is indeed in the phase of starting to take the various college exams. The man had my name, child’s name and our home address. I gave him my email address. The man told me he was with Student services and if I needed to look up any information have my child log in to ACT.org. He gave me his contact number as 866.454.4890 and said I should feel free to call with any questions. Immediately a charge came through from Academic ENRL. When searching for information on Academic ENRL it appears this is a scam that is going around. I have now disputed this pending charge on my credit card.

I received a phone call from a man who said he was from student services and that my high school student (she named my child) had requested SAT/ ACT study prep materials and that he needed me to authorize the request and provide a credit card number to cover cost in case items were not returned. Would not be charged. would just pend like at a hotel. He said the testing materials would be free but that some of the manuals would be on a Zip drive that would need to be returned after a month. As long as we returned the drive, the deposit would be refunded. This seemed legitimate as my child is indeed in the phase of starting to take the various college exams. The man had my name, child’s name, school and our home address. I gave her my email address. When I gave him my credit card number and he entered it. My husband got an alert an asked what the charge was for. It was charged immediately and for $249. An amount that was never mentioned. By then I was off the phone and the man said he would email me. Never got an email. He had said the materials were already mailed out. The charge of $249 was from Academic ENRL. The man did not mention this company when talking to him. I spoke with my child after and they did not remember requesting any study materials. So I started to feel a little suspicious. A web search for Academic ENRL turned up a BBB page with a description of a scam that sounded almost identical to what I experienced. The bank has flagged the company but hoping to recover the money they took without permission. BEWARE [BBB Scam Type: Phishing] [Business: Unknown] [Location: IN, USA- 46815]

Charged with Two Felonies and a Misdemeanor, All Over Two Grams of Marijuana. I Really Need Help. What Should I Do? So here's the gist: I'm a 19 year old sophomore in college. I was smoking in my room with two friends, like we'd been doing and not getting caught at for two years. Today the Police came. I locked the marijuana and pipe in my safe and then didn't answer the door (this ended up being a mistake). One of the two officers walked around and peered into my window, verified that we were there. At this point we began co-operating. Opened the door. Sat down and were questioned. The police were looking for large quantities, ounces, pounds, etc. The officer said to me "You have two options. The first is you can let us in and search the room." I asked him "What's the other option" since I wanted to make the most informed decision. I had an idea that it would be a search warrant obviously but I wanted to verify. This was also a mistake. Apparently once the word "warrant" is uttered any consent to search no longer qualifies since it's considered coercion. The officer decided to get a warrant, despite me saying he could search the room. We waited in police custody for 6 hours before they returned with the warrant. They searched the room. They didn't find anything. The reason they didn't find anything was this. Friend A had his phone with him and he passed it to me with the message "What's the combo to your safe so we can get the weed out" "There is no combo, it's a key lock. You can't do it." I replied. After not finding anything in the room the officers began questioning us again one by one. Friend A was questioned first. For a long time. Here's what happened: He had texted two other mutual friends of ours and they decided to break into my room and steal the safe, without my knowledge. Eventually the officer laid it out that we could all be taken down to the station, processed and questioned, charged, etc. or Friend A could tell him where the trees are. They w
