I noticed most of these post we're from 6 or 7 months ago, but I have a more recent story to tell. I graduated with an Associate Degree in Accounting, in October of 2016 from Everest, and I decided to explore my options to see if maybe computer information science was a better fit. I was told if I didn't like it after the first semester I would have no problems changing my major back to accounting. in April the day after my first semester ended, I let them know that I wanted to switch back. I was told I needed to wait but that they would keep my classes geared towards accounting rather than computer so that when I made the switch I would not lose any credits. This dragged on all of spring term, all of summer term, and then finally I was told that in the fall they would make the switch. When my fall term came around, I was told that I needed 160 credits to make the change to a different major and I was only at 128. They had changed their policy in September of 2017, and because they had dragged this out for so long they told me that I could not change. Then I was informed that because I couldn't switch in the fall due to lack of credits, that I would have to wait until winter term and unfortunately that one's winter term came I would be required to have 184 credits before I could switch my major. Obviously this would not happen, because there was no way to obtain this many credits in 12 weeks. They are forcing me to take at least 12 classes that I do not need, and will never use before letting me switch back to accounting. This is not Public School and I am the one that has to repay all of these loans, so why in the world would I continue taking classes that will not help my education. As of now, I only have one class that would not transfer over, but they are telling me that I need to continue on this course until I hit 184 credits. The worst part about this is I would only need 192 credits to graduate with my accounting degree, so basically I have to complete an entire degree in a field that I have no interest in before I am allowed to change my major. I have spoken with my academic advisor, and with his supervisor, and they're telling me there is nothing they can do they are not willing to make an exception, even though my request was in place before they ever put their requirements in place. If I switch schools now, I will never be able to graduate without having to pay out of pocket, ahead of time, because Everest has basically used all of my funding. I just don't know where to go from here.
A turd by any other name is still a turd.
I can confirm that the (latter) name posted by 1trm is correct.
WSU,
We Screw University, they can just say "We Screw U"
Changing the name of a company does not change the behavior of the leadership, and how the organization will be ran unless they are doing a complete overhaul. Those who know will continue to know. It is kind of like the CCi employees who hide that they worked for CCi before the purchase by Zenith. Boilers down to character and integrity.

No one wants to hire the students. Everest and WyoTech have such a bad reputation that no matter what you name them, it's still the same schools.
Ugly is ugly regardless of the name. Until they hire someone who gets admissions the new name should be EMPTY
The name change is only meaningful if we also change the trajectory of student outcomes. I'm not optimistic. Graduates still won't have access to good jobs.

Last chance college or Altiris
1qmx- What evidence do you have that anything is getting better? Is enrollment up? Are we hiring? Are placements improving? Anything at all? You say haters. I say "realists". Name change? Might have helped two years ago after the acquisition but now it is putting lipstick on a pig.......
I like how negative everyone is, I hope things turn around for the school with the name change just to shut everyone up. Just because something was bad or had bad people in charge doesn't mean it will continue to be that way. Love haters!
