HPU Fall 2020

Cheshi · May 2, 2020

Hey! I was just accepted into the fall 2020 HPU nursing program. This has been probably the worst experience of my life going to hpu and I really should not even continue to give them money. But I want to get through nursing school as fast as possible.

So, HPU basically had no record of my application when I called to check on it was the first problem. Then they just said oh it's past the deadline we can submit your application for Spring. We are talking two days past the April deadline. Then in tears, I was like yeah that's not going to work for me at all. So then they tracked down my application and told me it was incomplete. But was reading 100% complete on the circle graph. You can not submit an incomplete application. After all that I was told they would consider my application for submission. It took a week and I got an acceptance letter. Yay! But not really.... I go through the motions of paying a deposit that I did not even need to pay because I am a current HPU student, then I'm trying to register for classes and the system won't let me. So I email these brain surgeons to figure out the problem. Crickets--- I get there is a pandemic but people are still working. Literally no one has been helpful. I have just been shuffled back and forth through emails and still can't register. I am so frustrated with this place.

Hey! I know exactly what you’re going through. I feel like I am constantly reaching out to admissions and financial aid. Coming from the UH system, HPU is so unorganized and so unhelpful. I would much rather go to UH but my TEAS score is not competitive enough and I felt HPU was my last resort. Don’t get me wrong, I am so grateful to have been accepted but the program hasn’t even started and it’s like pulling teeth to get the right information.

I would rather go to uh as well but my TEAS was not great. Also, there would be like five more prerequisites I would need to do which I'm not really wanting to do as I already have almost 80 college credits.

I started the castle medical record submissions and am doing the BLS class tomorrow afternoon. But I feel like since I am not registered I am just wasting my time.

Yumi2019 · May 2, 2020

Is your castle medical records reflecting fall 2020 cohort? Mine is reflecting fall 2018! ? I registered for classes though. Also...not sure if you heard but we can only go to the town campus and there’s no parking.

Cheshi · May 2, 2020

Yeah, it says 2018 on there ?‍♀️ I live across the street from where the new campus is at waterfront plaza so parking isn't an issue unless I have to move. I know a lot of the servers around this area park at the ward parking garages like whole foods and the movie theater where its free parking and walk to work. So maybe something like that would be helpful for parking.

I feel this on a deep level, you guys. I too had major issues with my application and communication from the school. I was told my application wasn't received in time and ultimately had to prove that it was to be considered. I had to follow up multiple times and was super let down by their inability to follow up.

This isn't my first choice either, I was waitlisted last semester for the Spring 2020 cohort at KCC. I am still waiting on my letter back from them about their fall cohort (as I applied again) and would attend there over HPU if I am accepted, but it's so competitive.

I haven't even looked into the registration or the castle website because I want to hear from KCC, but the chances are slim- so I will most likely be in school with you all soon! Let's keep in touch, if I do go through with HPU I would love to find another way to communicate on a different platform.

Hey friends! How are we doing? Who is definitely going to be attending in the fall?

Hey guys, I graduated from HPU 2019, let me know if you guys want advice for professors and the school in general! HPU is disorganized and I survived so let me know

krispyhashbrowns · Jul 2, 2020

@Nurse2417 Thanks for reaching out! I would love to ask you some questions if possible!

Cheshi · Jul 2, 2020

Hi Nurse2417! I would also love some solid advice to surviving hpu. I have not even started and I am very concerned with the level of organization happening and not happening.
