This is a tremendously terrible school. The content is outdated by many years and rarely gets updated. It is extraordinarily expensive for next to no support. I felt that the staff, from administrators to tutors were extremely inconsistent, unreliable and appeared to mostly rely on canned email responses rather than listening to your queries. Ultimately, going to this school cost me an extra 2 years in finishing my degree and I lost my relationship and ended up with $30,000 in OSAP debt from them incorrectly reporting my academic progress. It was impossible to reach anyone at the school on time, and tutors would take months to mark your assignments. I gave up and moved to another school. It is so far the biggest regret of my life. I lost everything. Dealing with the bureaucracy is a full-time job on its own.

I am a current student enrolled in the Bachelor of General Studies. I am sharing my experience because I believe there is a lack of administrative accountability at Athabasca University regarding student support. Despite providing documentation of a significant life crisis (Police Report Dec 17) and a high-risk medical situation, the administration failed to apply Section 2.1 of the Student Appeals Policy regarding Extenuating Circumstances. Instead of administrative fairness and the 'Duty of Compassion' expected of a public institution, I encountered rigid barriers and an unjustified academic suspension. I have had to involve the University Ombudsman to have my rights as a student recognized. Prospective students should be aware of this lack of policy compliance.
