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.

Program was well designed with a Degreeworx page that tracks progress to completion including course requirements. Staff were very helpful and professors responsive. Perfect for anyone who has the capacity to learn independently and prefers that to a classroom setting or for busy people with jobs and kids. Course material was also mostly very interesting and applicable to my career in business.
