Woodfield University is another one of the schools that is part of a conglomerate of more than 15 universities and over 30 websites.

As with the other universities in this conglomeration, Woodfield University offers life experience degrees with absolutely no qualifications required. They are based in the United Arab Emirates and operated by a group of semi-English-speaking agents from Pakistan.

Although Woodfield has only been around a few years, the conglomeration itself has been around approximately 12 years starting with Belford University and Rochville University.

While their websites might be sleek, their follow up and customer service is dismal. They have been excessive complaints from people after receiving their degrees from any of the universities in this group that there is no follow up. If you look at the Better Business Bureau report from their original University “Belford University”, you will see over 170 unresolved complaints.

Rather than following up with concerns and issues, this group of universities will stamp out another school and ignore the previous one that has gotten bad publicity. Keep in mind that they are simply creating a new website with a new school name — all the principles and operators are exactly the same.

Some of the other universities and websites in this conglomeration of schools include the following:

Ashwood University
Corllins University
Belford University
Rochville University
Hill University
Panworld University
McFord University
Western Advanced Central University

Speedy-Degrees.com
University-College.com
WorryFreeDegree.com
LifeExperienceDegreesPro.com
LifeExperienceDegreeProfs.com
Getaccrediteddegreesnow.com
Life-experience-degrees-online.com

Woodfield University and many others do not provide the same level of follow up service as many of the other schools that provide life experience degrees. If you’ve received or have been thinking about receiving your degree from any one of universities mentioned above, be sure that you are not going to need follow-ups such as degree verifications or future copies of transcripts.

The original name of the college was Lynchburg Baptist College. In 1976, the name was changed to Liberty Baptist College. It wasn’t until 1984 that the institution was recognized as a university.

Liberty University Online refers to the division of Liberty University that is devoted to offering online programs and degrees, without a requirement of on-campus attendance. Situated on approximately 6500 acres in historical Lynchburg, Virginia, the beautiful main campus boasts over 4.3 million square feet of facilities. There are approximately 12,000 traditional students enrolled and over 50,000 online students.

Other degree guides have suggested student complaints such as:

“Because of the administrative/enrollment/financial aid staff at Liberty, my transcripts were lost, my student aid info was not reviewed and they caused me to go beyond the due date and wanted to charge me an additional $125 late fee. You can’t call without sitting on hold forever. They lose everything and their computers are always down. I am extremely disappointed and never even had the opportunity to get started!”

and, an epinion further shows students dissatisfaction.
