      I have been trying to contact CIE (Cleveland Institute of Electronics for the past 3-4 months about changing my mailing address. I've tried using their website to change it, with no avail. I've left them voicemails to call me back and haven't gotten any call backs from them. This is effecting my job advancement due to them not being proactive in getting a hold of me through calling or even emailing me about how they can change my address.

I have left multiple messages in multiple voicemail boxes, sent inquiries to admissions, even emailed the Dean and zero response. I am applying for a Master’s program and can’t do so without my transcript. Please help.

      I am currently enrolled at the school in the electronics technician program. I have completed more than 50% of the course. The school has not sent the additional course materials I need to complete the program. It is very difficult to get a hold of anyone. The accounting department said that a shipment was requested on 5/18 but never sent. They said the shipping department would contact me to explain why but has not done so. I have since tried contacting multiple email addresses, left voicemails on instructor support line and have had no contact. I have been consistently been making on time monthly payments. I would like the remainder of my course materials sent otherwise have the remaining balance on my account cancelled off and I will enroll into another school.
