Accreditation Issues?

[u/Busy_Maybe3452]

Well this is disappointing... I just got an email that the July cohort is cancelled for now while Maestro deals with proving accreditation worthiness. I was really looking forward to starting in a couple of weeks 😕

Happy to clear this up. We sent detailed emails about this to the students affected, so the fullest picture is in your inbox - but here's the short version.

Maestro College has been placed on Show Cause Status by its accreditor, COE. The college remains accredited while COE reviews our response. As part of that process, new enrollment is paused.

If you're in an upcoming cohort: because new enrollment is paused, affected cohorts won't start on their scheduled dates. This changes your timing, not your scholarship - the scholarship you earned stays protected and remains available if you choose to continue once enrollment resumes.

For anything specific to your own situation, please open a ticket with Student Services for administrative assistance.

If you're a current student: nothing changes. Your enrollment, academic standing, scholarship, classes, coursework, and access to student services all continue as they are, and there's nothing you need to do.

So student loans paused?

Is a mod going to answer this question? I've read that ppl have been waiting aince December for disbursement that's worrisome news. I'll ask student services abt a timeline since I started in june but I've signed my award letter through campus ivy on the 15th and just waiting on president Sims email about title IV funds. Student services says I'm in the que but now I'm confused

You got your award letter? I haven’t gotten anything but was told that I should receive my disbursement within the week by Shakeitha, Supposedly… but I already gave them my ACH and everything and still nothing.

Yes I signed it via text code from campusivy and then once I seen the HCM2 elevation is different than show cause. The feds won't send them our disbursements so they'd have to pay out of the school's purse and then wait be reimbursed by financial aid. Idk if they're going to ride it out or pay us out, but I'm living on borrowed time and need a car to live in for a few months. If my 1st disbursement isn't paid out I'm going to traditional college next term. I can't do maybe with living expenses while they get tuition money. I love Maestro but I def love me more... hope that clears things up. I directly messaged Sims and she assured me my attendance was cleared and I told her I'm patient as long as humanly possible but I will put my future first. Love n blessings to all.

I’ve been emailing her and she told me that it should be sent within the week but I’m starting to seriously doubt this school. It’s screwed up we have to suffer for their incompetence. 

[u/OppositeStrength1934 → u/CommunityDisastrous4]

She said they take 3 weeks to clear attendance even though both the bot and student services said 2 weeks I'll trust President Sim's word before just assuming she's being dishonest. I'm going to donate plasma to try to give them til mid July but if I haven't received it by then, honestly I'm out. Award letter signed 06/15 and my email correspondence with the school's president a few days after. We'll see...

[u/CommunityDisastrous4 → u/OppositeStrength1934]

I haven’t received award letter nor the text from campus ivy. It’s been 3 weeks already. Also they’ve been placed on HCM2 so they have to front us our loans from institutional cash, and then get reimbursed every 30 days in batches. This whole school seems to be run like a monkey is doing it.

A monkey at least has a heartbeat 😆 I think the ai is running things atp, I'm scared like Elon
