Kaplan University-Hagerstown Campus Top Questions

Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.

Describing Kaplan University is interesting. The campus is anywhere of your choosing. Everything is done from your computer. You log in and verify your credentials. In terms of a traditional brick and mortor institution this would be considered the front door. The next thing is the school home page. Here you will find access to your records, the school library, information center and classes. In traditional terms you would be walking different hallways that take you where you need to go. For instance, lets say that you want to go to a specific classroom. You locate it in the current classes area and click to enter. This would open a new page with your classroom on it. In other words, you walked down the hallway to your class and have entered. Once there you will do a variety of different things assigned during the unit. Just like the real deal only virtual...

I am currently attending Kaplan online; therefore I am not aware of the scene on campus. However, the online classes are convenient for people with a busy schedule. It gives flexible to working parents or someone who dislike commuting to a school campus due to distance or traffic. It gives the flexibility to attend school at anytime.

Kaplan University online has a distincted look, a look of technology advancements that allow individuals such as myself to continue their education toward a degree but still have a little extra time for either work or family. We have a great platform online and have many extras that help us out academically.

To be honest I have never been to the campus, i am an online student, but i amsure it is everything one is looking for in a school and the learning material is great from muy point of view.

Katherine

Most people may have never thought about attending school online. But when you look at how the classrooms are set up it is easy to understand. To me the school is when you log in and see where everything is. With Kaplan the school is very organized and it is easy to find what you need. There is also a school library!!

Friendly, Approachable, and Addicting!

Kaplan looks like what ever you want it to look like. You can take it where ever you want to go. Online schooling is great. The home page and the class room stay the same but the scenery can change if you want it to.

Shana

Your school looks exactly how you want it to! This is the great part! I can attend my seminars at my desk, in my living room, or at a McDonald's. I can do my homework anywhere I like because I have access to Kaplan University Online's vast online library. The beauty with online schooling is that it happens wherever you want it to.

Well to be honest most people view Kaplan as a scam. This snap judgment is completely false. I think most people see the school that way because the public still has a close minded view of online education. The public gets scared when they see the school price tag. Then they get even more afraid when the people read scam Complaints that come from slackers who thought the school and courses would be easy and get angry when they find out they are mistaken.

Sara

SInce Kaplan Univerity online is well,.... on your computer. It could seem overwhelming looking at everything you can click on. However, they have everything divided up into section. They have the most common links easily accessible and on the side is the live tech support which is very helpful. It's nice to just chat with them if you do not feel like calling them. The Kaplan homepage is very organized.

Danielle

Where would you like to go to class? Your office, living room, dining room, coffee house? Kaplan Online is where ever you are! You have the ability to go to school anywhere you have an internet connection. So, take a look around you-- that is where you could go to school. Possibilites are endless.

Angela

Since Kaplan University online virtually exists through the internet, there is no campus. However, Kaplan does have campus based schools throughout the country.

Linsey

Well to be honest most people view Kaplan as a scam. This snap judgment is competely false. I think most people see the school that way because the general public still has such a close minded view of online education that when they see the school price tag they get scared off. Then they get even more afriad when the people read scam Complaints that come from slackers who thought the school and courses would be easy and get angry when they find out they are mistaken.

Tosha

I have never seen a Kaplan Campus because I am an online student.

Alicia

When you first sign into the KU Online Campus it is almost overwhelming. There is so much to look at you don't know where to start. Luckily, Kaplan provides a tutorial that walks you through the entire Campus, as well as your individual classroom setup. Once you've taken the tutorial you are ready to go. During the tutorial you get so excited learning all of these "cool" new things that you are able to access through Kaplan that you can't wait for it to be over.

Kayla

Kaplan University online is set up in an easy to follow format. When you enter your classroom you see an announcement board where the Professor posts important reminders to the whole class. Along the left hand side of the screen each week/units coursework is found in tabs labeled with the unit number. Along the top of the screen you can access the student email system for the class, the class 'doc sharing' where the professor shares important documents such as the syllabus, text book or different documents related to the course work. You also can access your personal gradebook and your drop box where you submit assignments to the professor.

Kaplan Unversity has several campuses as well as their primary online instruction. Their regular campuses work on a "blended" curriculum (which means you will do most of your classes online and only need to report to campus for practicum). KU's online class system has recently been updated to accommodate newer technologies and be more cross platform stable. Your academic advisors will occasionally call you to ask if there is anything you'd like to know and to see how you're doing in classes as well as setting up next term(s) registration. Kaplan does not require GRE's. They do require proof of High School completion (or GED) and transcripts if you're transferring into the school from another college or even trade school's (Vocational). They are an accredited school, but you can not become licensed (unless you are becoming a teacher in IOWA and go to their IOWA campus) in the field you want unless you complete internship hours elsewhere. You will need to have internet, a reliable computer capable of doing online coursework, and lots of patience.
