Financial Aid doesn't know what they are doing and neither do the advisors. In 10 months I have had to go above my advisors to my Chem professor to fix their mistakes. I have a family of 6 and we make 60k a year and receive medi-cal and even with a scholarship financial aid wanted me to pay $2100 a month. This exceeds my mortgage and car payment. They basically expect me to sell all my possessions to go here and live in a tent with my family on campus so I can continue to go here. I have only completed a total of 3 semesters in my lifetime (1 1/2 here) so there is no reason I wouldn't qualify for financial aid and pell grants to cover my tuition. They truly do not know what they are doing. I took out a private loan that exceeded what they asked for by $700 and they told me it isn't enough now and want an additional $800 per month while also charging me late fees for the hold up on an unsubsidized loan. They also charge you 75% of classes you drop even if you drop them by start of week 2 as they (advisors) fail to inform you of this information. They warn you biblically about the wolves in sheep's clothing in the church. This school is exactly that. They laid off administration and teachers that had been there for decades to avoid having to pay their retirement pensions. How christian and Jesus like is that? They do not practice what they preach! Pro is you get a good education here Con is you pay way to much for it and the advisors make you feel unheard and put you into a degree path you did not ask for.

The counselors at this school have been extremely unhelpful. They are rarely available, and their…read moreinteractions often leave students feeling dismissed rather than supported. Appointments are frequently canceled with little regard for the student's time, often less than an hour before they are supposed to take place. These last‑minute cancellations force students to rearrange their schedules, only to be told they must wait nearly another month for the next available appointment, even when the original meeting was booked weeks in advance. Their actions suggest that genuine student support is not a priority. Better luck just praying than get any support.

All of the workers were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place if you're on campus for an event or taking class.

Many people even dressed which was very cool. My husband and I look forward to attending this well organized event each year and give Kudos to all that give of their time and talents to provide this amazing event for our community. Our grandkids couldn't join us this year but if they did they could have enjoyed the Kids Zone in the Cafeteria. We picked in and it looked like lots of kids were having fun. The entertainment on stage was top notch! Lots of children and adults alike sharing their talents. The tents and tables are right in front of the stage and provided an excellent place to enjoy a delicious lunch. The food and beverage prices are reasonable.

My brother called CHUCK LEONARD today 08/04/2026 at 2:10pm, phone number 559-475-5012, to cancel…read morehis enrollment because he decided he didn't want to attend UEI anymore. Chuck told my brother "Why would you do that? That's a horrible idea". He was laughing on the phone while speaking to my brother during this phone call. He also proceeded to tell my brother "What else are you planning to do with your life". Chuck hung up on my brother multiple times after trying to cancel his enrollment. He did not specify if he was going to cancel it which was why we kept calling for confirmation. Chuck continued to give us attitude throughout the phone call without any information. He was avoidant and rude. If this is the representation you guys are putting out, why would anyone ever want to be apart of this college? Talking down on students who decides to not join your college is absolutely ridiculous and inappropriate. Save yourself the headache and go to city college. A place that will ACTUALLY HELP YOU WITHOUT RIDICULING YOU. Also, the phone call was recorded by YOUR phone call system. I hope whoever the director is of UEI goes back and listen to Chuck's inappropriate comments.

Most instructors here--are knowledgeable and excellent…read more However, the admissions and financial aid process is misleading and predatory. Prospective students are rushed through tours and quickly pushed into signing enrollment contracts without first being clearly told whether they actually qualify for financial aid. Financial aid eligibility should be confirmed before any binding agreement is signed. Instead, students are locked into contracts first, then sent to financial aid afterward, stripping away any real ability to make an informed, responsible decision. The administration and financial aid staff are fully aware of how this process is structured, and they should be ashamed of operating in a way that pressures people into binding financial commitments without full financial transparency. This is especially concerning given that many prospective students are low-income individuals or people in difficult financial circumstances who are seeking a way to improve their situation. That reality makes this lack of transparency even more troubling and irresponsible. This approach prioritizes enrollment over honesty and puts students at unnecessary financial risk based on incomplete information. Schools should be required to verify financial aid eligibility before any enrollment agreement is signed--not after.
