being allowed to attend a college that I didnt meet the GPA criteria for?

[riley1124]

A couple years ago, I applied to the art institute of pittsburgh online, they said that my GPA was a little low for the courses but I could take some of their basic courses to get some extra credits and then become eligible to attend the college. I have done it, and completed all of my courses and will be paying back my student loans starting soon.

I am wondering (i have heard about a lawsuit involving this school that allows students to attend even though they might not meet the criteria so that they can make more money). I am not sure if what they did with allowing me to attend was legal or illegal, just wanted to figure this out before I start paying them back.

Thanks guys

You are kidding, right? You owe the money. You got the benefit of the education so you owe the money. There is nothing illegal about what they did.
