As quoted below from the University of Phoenix Website, once again UOP is raising our tuition. This petition is to let University of Phoenix know of their students disapproval of this increase. Please sign this petition so that we can show University of Phoenix just how many students are upset over this "For-Profit Institutions" need to gouge it's students.
"University of Phoenix will implement select tuition price and course material fee increases at all degree levels for courses beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The increases are designed to enable the University of Phoenix to maintain its high degree of academic excellence. The goal of the University is to constantly evaluate the learning environment, curriculum and course outcomes for students to provide the best possible education, and tuition increases such as these provide the financial support to achieve that goal. The tuition changes vary by degree, program and geography but will generally be in the range of a 2-6% increase. New rates will be posted here on July 1, 2009.
We realize that any tuition and fee changes impact our students. Thus, in order to take advantage of the current tuition and electronic course material rates, students have the opportunity to pre-pay for entire courses and electronic course materials at existing rates. Pre-payment must be received prior to July 1, 2009." (
