kaplan college sacramento

[Kaligirl02]

Hi everyone. Iam looking into the kaplan college in sacramento lvn program that starts in october. I went for the tour already and passed the first test. What i was wondering was does anyone have any thoughts on this school? are you currently attending this class? how are the teachers what type of finacial aid do they have? any info would be greatly appreciated. also i was looking at csi college in vacaville anything on that school would be helpful too.

Not really I just know I'll have to go to an orientation first at one of those careers centers, but from what I understand they won't tell you what WIA will give you until you see what federal grants and loans you get.

So do you have to be unemployed? i mean that by laid off or something? i was hoping that i would be able to qualify for the program here in fairfield.... I talked to someone and the one-stop career center but i dont think they were understanding what i was saying.

I'm not sure if you have to be on unemployment, I am booo. I do know they may look at your income/past income /spouse income. It can be based on financial need I think. I would call your local one-stop again and ask if you have to be on unemployment to qualify.

Yeah I'll try calling them again. I just feel like we are going to be rushed once we finally get our letter. I dont understand why since they are having so much problems with getting the letters out, why we can't just go there and fill everything out. We have been waiting since October 1!! I hope it doesn't take long for financial aid to go through.

If I don't get a letter tomorrow I am going to call again, this is crazy I feel like they are not being truthful. First they were sent, then sent back, then sent again? And we still have no letters. I'm sorry but mail does not take that long.

Applemom-Can you give me some information on what unemployment will cover concerning our program? Who would I contact? The career center through EDD?

[applemom83]

I don't know the max amount, but I do known the program is listed as edd approved. You can Google for one stop career centers nearest you. That is who edd told me to contact about WIA stuff. But since I don't know what's going on with school I'm not contacting yet. I do know some places require you attend an orientation first. If you live in the Sacramento area Google SETA (sac employment and training agency ).

Okay ladies (& gents), let's see what Kaplan has in store for us today!

[applemom83]

Wow plaza, they haven't told Stockton people anything either? ? They're supposed to start the 9th too right? Have they selected their students yet?

[Jen7090]

@ Applemom- Thanks for the info I will make some calls today.

Call me crazy but I have a feeling that we are not starting school on the 9th. Everyone's file should be done already.

[applemom83]

Agree! I don't understand why they aren't so forthcoming with information at the moment, and can't at least offer us the option to pick up our "letters". They know we're in, they know there are issues with the mailing, they need to just have us come in to start enrollment.

Ok so i finally talked to my rep!!! she told me that letters were sent out on friday. The problem was that one person thought the other person was handeling the letters while that person thought another person was... hmm. then she said that it will cost 20 bucks for enrollment and that the price for the program IS under 30k. she doesnt know the exact price but when we talk to carol she should know it. She also said we should have our letters by today... The only thing is the front office lady said that they will be mailed today and yeasterday. IDK who to believe......

[applemom83]

Ugh! So are they mailed or not?? Frustrated! Ashlie let us know as soon as your mail comes! Lol
