If
you even consider this school...stop and have your head examined.
Next hire an attorney because you will need them before
you sign or agree to anything. This is a school
that is not focused on students but instead of bringing
in as much profit as possible. If you are absent
for a period of time they contact you at home
and by mail to find out “where you are”. Sadly
I was hospitalized with the flu and dehydration and they
were more concerned about when I would be back in
school rather than my condition. After talking with a former
staff member it was discovered that basically they need to
maintain a count to make quota for their students. They
then have all the staff work to contact students to
get them back in class.
Additionally, you don't get to
select your classes as those are taken care of for
you by the administration that sets your schedule each term.
When you meet with admissions they will tell you that
classes transfer but once you get there you wind up
having to take another term or two because classes don't
transfer. Additionally they tell you their courses will transfer for
when you go to a 4-year college-they don't. The school
director/president (Susan Spivey) is a cruel woman who yells as
students who express any interest in understanding policy or procedure
of the college (rocking the boat). Employee turnover is high
since she treats employees who don't meet quota in registering
students by the start and up to the second week
of classes are belittled in front of others.
There
are no extra curricular activities unless you count leaving each
day with your spirit still intact. Job assistance is a
joke as is the financial aid department. They won't tell
you anything about the programs available but they will call
and harass you about not signing paperwork for them to
get paid (even when they haven't mailed it to you
or responded to your personal inquiries at the office-sent an
invoice dated and mailed a week after the term had
ended but had called me two weeks before about my
“unpaid bill” that I kept asking for since the beginning
of the term).
They break city, state and federal
laws without any regard or concern. Students don't have rights
and those who express their rights are humiliated.
I
went for two terms before I transferred to Kirkwood Community
College which is half the cost and faster to complete
and much better faculty and my classes transferred to a
4-year program.
