Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I've been an student of SPC online since I was dual enrolled while in High School. With a few exceptions, my experience has been terrible. The teachers are lazy and incompetent. The courses are not challenging or educational. And the business offices seem to be told to make sure you have the worst experience possible. I'm so glad I'm done with this college and I'm completing my Bachelors degree elsewhere. Avoid SPC at all cost. Collaboration/Competitive: B, Education Quality: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

During the day, the students are usually snobby and naive, but at night you'll see a few more amiable people. As far as the environment, it's nothing magnificent, but it's not horrible and run-down, at least not Clearwater or Tarpon Springs. As far as the student assistance-type staff is concerned, they're horrible. If you have a small problem it will probably be solved. If you have a larger problem, the chance goes way down, especially if you require assistance from someone with authority. There are a ton of student workers, which is okay, but for some reason, they are not allowed to transfer or even recommend you to a supervisor. You have to wing it by going onto the school's website contact directory and picking out people that look good by trial-and-error. I've had several problems requiring higher-ups and, each time, I have to deal with some of the least-motivated and unhelpful people I have ever encountered. They are not there to help you, they are there to suck in new students to increase school size. If they made a mistake, it's not their fault, it's yours, and you have to fix it by jumping through hoops. You'd be unlucky even if non-student staff answered the phone. They just send you off to another division and recycle you back to the beginning even if you have gave notice that you were already there. In-person is the best way to deal with problems here, but you'll usually have to wait upwards of an hour for the plus-sized dogs; it's only better because of the intimidation factor, which doesn't always work if their used to it.

I have been told flat out that I would not been seen by an academic advisor if I did not take time off from work. You get the feeling from the school that you are there to pay them and that's it. Most of the faculty are very good about meeting with you and helping you, but the opposite is true for almost everything else. If you do not talk to academic advisors or financial aid advisors then you will be fine, but if you do have to make sure you do it months in advance of the registration period or you will never get them on the phone or receive a reply via e-mail. If I knew the problems this school had before I registered I would have gone to a different school & I am currently looking for a new school to go to.

Likewise, if you want a discount education then that is what you will get at SPC. The school is constantly having new buildings constructed and they upgrade their online systems very often but the instruction is hurting. When it comes to teaching staff lets just say the admission seems about as difficult as that of students. If you wanna be a student just apply and they will let you in. I'm confident that Bert, Ernie, Elmo....shucks! the whole Sessame Street gang could make it in. After being here a bit I am pretty sure the school's HR department is run by Jim Henson. Some times I wonder if any of my teachers are related to Big Bird, Ms. Piggy, or Oscar the Grouch. I will say that I have had some very good teachers but they are significantly outnumbered by the unprofessional teachers at this school. Time to sign up for classes?...Cross your fingers baby!
