Prepare to have their hand in your wallet for the entirety of your college career and as long as they can afterwards. Office staff is continually rude and unhelpful. No one genuinely cares about the students attending here. Nothing but thieves.
Professional ripoff artists right here. They'll assign any fees or charges they can and when you have to pay with a credit card they charge a "convenience" fees of $30 and up to any payment you have to make, as if you're not already paying tons to attend. That $100 "graduation" fee when you reach your "credit cap" -whether you graduate or not- is absolute highway robbery. It's part of your job, just do it! Maybe respect the students that pay your cushy salary job and quit finding ways to add more fees. Parking is a joke and they NEVER do anything to resolve it.
Professors are helpful and respond quickly. Easy to talk with.
Courses are challenging and appropriate for the subject matter, although you do wind up with the occasional professor who feels that more homework=more learning, probably the same at any university though
Sometimes classes are run outside of D2L and that is annoying. for example, one semester i had to use 3 different websites for my classes and D2L. Just keep everything on D2L considering we all have plenty of online accounts already.
10/10 would NEVER recommend.
To put it short I graduated from stout and enjoyed my time. Has the feel of a small town and school once u get to know everyone. Could write a whole report on what is good and what could be improved but overall a great choice.
BEWARE OF UW-STOUT or any college within the University of Wisconsin system! I withdrew from the online graduate program due to a medical issue during the withdrawal period. UW-Stout charged me $3,000 without written notice until I received a letter 1 year later from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. Apparently, UW-Stout turn outstanding student balances over to the Dept of Revenue in order to collect the debt as a tax so they can garnish your income tax refund (or wages) if you cannot afford a payment plan. How is this legal?
Faculty are friendly and understanding, and the online degree programs are excellent. Stout doesn't prioritize any degree programs as far as I know - you get to sign up for classes based on your seniority level. The more credit hours you have, the earlier you get to sign up for classes the following year. They have a VERY forgiving payment policy - you can actually withdrawal from class after the 1st day of coursework with no payment penalty, the last university I was at required 25% after day 1, 50% after week 2, 75% after week 3 and 100% after week 4.
I honestly just want my degree and needed an online program. The Online Program takes a backseat to in-class learning though. Syllabuses are always outdated or copied from in class courses. I usually get the syllabus and then update my calendar only to find out the dates have changed. pretty annoying. It's obvious the professors are either really busy or lazy in adjusting their syllabuses for online learners. This is a public university and if you're paying for an education it should be better than that. Also, they use E-text books for half of my classes and that's a terrible idea. When you're trying to study or do homework it's annoying how you just can't flip directly to the page you want/need. They're trying to cut costs regardless of what they say. doing the homework through text book modules online are pretty annoying too.
I only have one year of classes left so i am going to finish my program but prospective students should beware. The school needs to ensure the professors are doing their due diligence to provide accurate information to students in regards to homework. For working adults being able to plan out your month or schedule is vital and UW-stout doesn't help distance learners.
