NCU increases tuition, again.

You missed my comments on another thread.

It is about Falcon, not Rockbridge. Falcon provides subordinated debt, which is riskier:

This is a 2009 announcement from the company that acquired NCU: http://www.rbequity.com/news/ncu-holdings-1-16-09.pdf "NCU has grown revenues substantially at an average annual rate of 47 percent since 2005. This growth is attributed to the high quality of its educational offerings, competitive tuition and the flexibility afforded by NCU's unique 100 percent online, one-on-one learning model. NCU has no residency requirements, which gives students, who live in 50 states and 84 countries, additional flexibility.....

"We believe that NCU has a talented management team and exceptional learning model. We plan to leverage the online marketing capabilities and technology capacity of Quicken Loans, and its deep infrastructure, to continue growing NCU's leadership position," said Rockbridge Growth Equity Partner Dan Gilbert, who also is Chairman and Founder of Quicken Loans. "With Rockbridge Growth Equity and Falcon Investments, Northcentral University will have two outstanding partners to assist the institution with its future growth plans," said David Shefrin, president of David Shefrin and Associates who represented NCU in this transaction.

I have started teaching at Everest College Phoenix Online last month, my 1st experience teaching online. They have 24 hour response time requirement. They have 72 hours to submit grades for submitted work. It is part of the faculty expectations and is part of the evaluation.

 

24 hours is very restrictive.

 

I am curious about the NCU mandatory focus visits. I went to the HCL and saw it there.

I was curious about Dakota State University since I am waiting an admission decision for its Doctor of Information Systems program. I saw the following:

Approval of Financial Panel recommendation

Dakota State University, Madison, SD Added Progress report on finances

What does this mean?
