I attended this college for half a semester 4 years ago and was charged for 2 full semesters. Now they have put those charges on my credit report even though i'm still enrolled in college at a different place. The people who work there are very shady and they are committing fraud. I have no idea how many other students they have done this to. Thankfully I have a good lawyer that is going to go after them. Read Less

I was an adjunct faculty member at the Des Moines campus in Computer Science for one phase back in the spring of 2016, and without going into a lof ot detail, the way things are done over there really leave something to be desired. Some of their policies seem really "out there" to me and they have the right to make rules "on the spot" without concern of how many weeks remain in the phase, and this is coming from someone who taught at one of the more reputable community colleges in the state of Indiana for ten years. What's more, my supervisor was the micromanaging type and seemed as if he cannot trust me to do my job. He also was not the type that lived up to his word; as an example of this, he was supposed to observe me teaching in the class as part of the new faculty evaluation policy, but every time he said he was going to be there, he no showed every time. It became a running joke in my classes as to whether he would show up. The thing that turned out to be the "last straw" for me was that we were discussing about me remaining on staff just for one class or something along those lines when I found a regular full time job again toward the end of the phase, but once I turned in final grades, I never heard from him again, and then I found out from Iowa Workforce Development that I "quit" Vatterott, which was absolutely not true. Needless to say, that infuriated me. It is pretty apparent to me that Vatterott plays by their own set of rules, given that they are a for-profit college, and they seem to be more interested in making money instead of making an effort to ensure that students are getting a quality education. If a for-profit college is your only option, then Vatterott should be the last place you should consider. Read Less

Class 2001- 2003. I went there for 2 yrs. and couldn't get a job in my field. When I put down that i went to vatterott, a lot of places ask me whats that, and also when I tell them I have an associates degree in occupational studies they look at me like I'm stupid. That school isn't accredited school. Their credits aren't transferrable. Upper iowa and william penn will take them, but other schools won't accept them. Now I owe $27,000.00 for a 2 year degree that people never heard of. When I get done paying on it I will be 90 yrs. old. Anybody just starting there leave while you can. DMACC will get you a better education and training for $10,000 or less. Read Less
