Easily the worst community college in Oklahoma. Spend your money elsewhere where they actually care about their students. There's only 1 basic chemistry class, which is required for your associates, in the entire school. Having 1 class for a required class is such a terrible setup. If you don't enroll in this class 2 months before it starts, then you have to wait another full semester before you even have a chance at enrolling in it again. There's no other options for this class, so if you don't enroll for it before October and it doesn't work around your schedule then you're out of luck. Tuition was also just raised, so on top of paying $300 to enroll, I also get to pay an extra $2000 to a school that doesn't care about me. My first semester there, my Algebra professor quit after 3 classes and we were left with someone that was too quiet to understand and his handwriting was so atrocious you couldn't read anything he wrote. There was material on the exams that were due on the homework the following week. Higher ups were contacted and nothing was done about it, leaving most of the class to barely scrape by with a C. The same semester I had a history professor that went off on so many tangents about the world's current problems that you would've thought you were in a current events class. I've also had my fair share of very unprofessional professors. One of my online professors didn't give any explanations on how to do assignments through the online course, so I missed the entire first unit. I emailed him asking how I could raise my grade before the end of the semester and his entire email he wrote back said: "Done." My grade was the same by the end of the semester so I emailed him back and he said opened up assignments for me, but not once was that mentioned in his very carefully crafted one word email. Overall, this school is not worth your time or your money. I have been in a class where they forced a professor to teach a class that isn't what he usually teaches, so I learned next to nothing in the class. The only thing this school has going for it is the amount of online classes there are. For the most part you can take your classes online, but be prepared to learn things on your own because the online professors don't enjoy helping their students. If you haven't figured out how to do the assignments for yourself, then you're out of luck. Save your money and go to another community college in the area. Also, administration is horrible. Everyone working in one of the offices on campus cares so little about their job it's truly amazing. I applied my senior year of high school in March. I hadn't gotten my acceptance letter by July and had to call the bozos in Admissions and tell them that I applied months ago and still hadn't gotten anything. The textbooks you have to buy for classes are sometimes made by OSUOKC. I payed $130 of my own money for an English "textbook" that was really just a pile of papers wrapped in plastic. These books have next to no resale value as OSUOKC makes new textbooks every semester and no one wants a textbook that only goes with OSUOKC curriculum from a single semester. HERE'S THE WORST THING THEY'VE DONE TO ME: they had me on the wrong degree plan for over a year, so I was taking some of the wrong classes for over a year and now I have to stay an extra semester because I don't meet the requirements yet to receive my associate's. Save your money and stay far away from this circus that is somehow considered...
Read moreI have to agree with Tulsaboi53. I when to this school and they wouldn't ever return my calls staff was never in there office when i called i even left voicemail's bad experience with the Bookstore and the financial Aid office.
Last semester i was at OSU/OKC i returned something tot he bookstore which was never opened. They told me i could bring it back at anytime yet come to find out they told me you only had 10 days to bring it back after buying the produce from them. Will they didn't tell me that upfront and due to me having vision impairment i couldn't see that on the receipt.
I told them i wasn't told that and i have disability with my vision. one of the bookstore staff told me" it wasn't his problem i was blind can couldn't see to read the receipt." i wasn't to happy i when talk to some higher up people over the University there and they took care of my problem. See OKC/OSU bookstore isn't apart of the the OSU System that what i was told by University administration. Unlike the main campus at Stillwater where that bookstore is owned and operated by the actually University so FYI on that to future students at OSU/OKC.
I was going to switch from one program to another program when i was at OSU/OKC campus. I couldn't get a hold of anyone i left voicemail's send i believe emails. for two to three day's finally i called the President office told them what was going on and finally i got call back ASAP from the Dean of that College. I was talked rude to and they talked to me like i was mentally Challenged or something they made me feel degrade. So i with un-enrolled myself and am not going to different school where i am happy at myself like TulsaBoi53. They way i was treated i give the OSU/OKC half star. They need to learn now to be more professional and treat there student, and realize without us the Student's they...
Read moreI applied May 5th, started classes on June 3rd. Admissions and financial aid has a communication barrier. Prepare for weeks of waiting for someone to process your application and transcripts just to let you know if you need to take an accuplacer test or not. They won't finish processing transcripts or aid until after the cut-off date for dropping courses, we're over a month into this process now.
Aid will play word games and refuse to offer any information and tell you they only process aid on Thursdays. I have attended two colleges before this and I have NEVER had an issue with admissions or aid like I have here. They're apparently having a leadership change and that's just an excuse. There's no reason why productivity should be down during a leadership change, if you were doing your job beforehand. Which leads me to believe that leadership didn't maintain a productive work environment hence the current leadership change.
Wanna call admissions and ask a question? Oh that won't happen! I had to contact OSU through facebook to receive any assistance from admissions. There's no way to contact them through phone, ever. I was told, when I was finally able to get through to financial aid, to "just come up here". What a joke. Your typical person working a 9-5 job anywhere can't waste a break and gas money rushing and risking a traffic citation just to ask a simple question.
According to the OSU-OKC podcast, this school (OSU-OKC) has programs designed for the working class, for parents, and for people who have commitments and can't commit to the average college life. Everyone in admissions and aid has made this process more stressful than it needed to be. I have a mortgage and four children, I shouldn't have to do YOUR jobs!!! If your major is offered anywhere else in the city, go there and see if they have classes that...
