Torrens university

I want to share my experience with Torrens University. They initially gave me an offer letter and Confirmation of Enrollment (COE), but after I had been in the course for a year, they changed the name of the course and added more subjects to my study plan. It really feels like Torrens is using this format to make more money from students. This kind of practice is frustrating and makes it hard for us to plan our studies effectively.
