Get a Master's Degree Without an Undergrad Degree!

UOPSucks.com recently received the below documents which indicate that UOP actually enrolled a student into the Masters Education program without having an undergraduate degree! We have redacted personal information to protect the identity of the student.

We understand that this student graduated with the master's degree and applied for a job. This student showed the employer the master's degree, but did not have an undergrad degree to show the employer! The student contacted the University and once UOP realized the mistake they made, they had the student apply for the undergrad program in an effort to cover their mistake.

The University quickly moved to cover up this error and reportedly offered the undergrad program to the student for free. UOPSucks.com was also told that this student received federal financial aid. UOPSucks.com believes that federal financial aid guidelines strictly prohibit the use of financial aid monies when students are not qualified for the program. In our opinion, a student without an undergrad degree would not be qualified for a master's degree, thus violating federal financial aid guidelines!

The first page is the student's application for the undergraduate program. The application indicates that the student attended community college for an AA degree and then attended UOP for the master's program! Notice the counselor's notes at the top of the page, showing that this application has been processed. The second page shows the date of the application.

The third page shows the student's enrollment agreement for the undergrad program.

The fourth and fifth pages show the last 2 pages of the student's transcripts pulled 2 days after the application. Notice that the class history starts with 500-level (graduate) courses. Then notice the schedule shows undergrad classes on the schedule after 8-25-05. Also notice the student's grades in the master's classes - A's in all classes! Pretty impressive for someone without an undergrad degree!

Still don't believe us? We used UOP's degree checking process to verify these records (DegreeChk.com). Here are the results:
