Worst university in South Africa

If I could give a negative 5 rating, I would. Ever since Monash pulled out, it’s been hell. By far THE WORST institution in South Africa. Students who remained under Monash, even after the transition weren’t given the time of day, we received results for Semester 1 2021 in December/January 2022, some exam papers were lost and we were told we have to write supplementary exams, without ever seeing initial exam marks. One student only had one module instead of 4 modules for the entire Semester 2 of 2021, which ultimately meant the course would take much longer to complete than it should. The student had asked for help to get loaded on other modules that she needed and due to the lack of response from the school, was told it’s too late to enrol them into new modules and should try summer school, when they asked for Summer school, they were told that the IIEMSA cancelled summer school for Accounting. When the school was approached, they apologized and said they would investigate further, nothing has been done ever since. Monash students were advised to write emails to the Monash Teach out facility to transfer to IIE from MSA in order to avoid having to sit in front of the board. After transferring things just went worse, we had more modules to complete than what we had in Monash, and because of lost results and papers and their inability to communicate in time, modules had to be repeated. Especially for Accounting students. As I write this, It’s been 3 weeks since the academic semester began, we still don’t have login details, I don’t have my modules, I have access to absolutely nothing, not even the portal where my timetable, modules, course progression should be. Mind you there is a test week scheduled for the coming week. When I ask for help, nobody is able to explain why everything is slow. I completed my registration, the student advisor I was given? Very very useless and unprofessional, they promised to help us get the best help, we got the absolute opposite. A member of the staff, seeing how desperate students were for help, admitted that non of the staff members actually knows what they’re doing, so when we ask for help, they just make things up as they go. A former student went to the speak to the Dean to complain about issues they had, was promised help and was still left helpless and waiting for answers and access to the portal. There is absolutely no help, no student service, no professionalism. When they want their money, they will communicate with you!! non stop, but when students need help, there is no one available to help them. No value for money whatsoever. The people we’re supposed to see for certain areas of concern are mostly off sick, and never available. Do not even consider IIEMSA, rather invest in a public intstitution, because IIEMSA is a absolute waste of money and time, and will only ever be the cause of more stress and depression in students.
