This is by far the worst educational institution I have attended. They might as well call it a circus based on the number of hoops you have to jump through just to enroll in courses! My husband and I both attend through distance learning - I have been dropped from my classes but not "dropped". In other words the class did not appear on my transcript or schedule at the end of the semester even though I had "attended" every class during the semester and earned an "A". When I asked why the class did not appear on my transcript I was told because I had been "dropped" in February for not paying, when in fact the institution had issued me a refund incorrectly. After several discussions with the registrar the class was finally added to my transcript. My husband was the first on a wait list for a class and was added when another student failed to pay, only to be purged himself without even being given the opportunity to pay. There are now 7 students ahead of him on the waitlist, and his class schedule has been wiped out even though we have payed for 7 credits. Every semester there is some problem which involves several phone calls, emails, and visits to the campus where we are usually sent from office to office being told that so and so can help you and then on to the next so and so, half the time to end up where we started. Both my husband and myself have bachelors degrees from well known universities, so we should be able to negociate a community college - steer clear of this one, definately bottom of the barrel.
