San Jacinto College North Campus — Local services in Channelview

School website is the most unreliable I've ever experienced in any business. Scheduling an appointment online is impossible. The system lets you go through the process, only to give you an error message at the end of the process. I've attempted to make an appointment upwards of 30 times.

If you're looking for a runaround, this is your place. Don't expect accurate guidance so if you are not familiar with you own needs and requirements, there is a great chance you will be ill-advised. I'm trying to take classes and had a transcript sent from a former university over a month ago through the Parchment system. It was never accounted for, even after providing the confirmation number. After numerous trips to the campus, attempted phone calls and emails with 3 people, it was finally located. I was told that they couldn't match my name so that was that.....

In an effort to expedite my registration, I emailed an unofficial copy of the transcript to an advisor as well as went home and printed it and brought it back to her because she said she would take it into account when advising me. I made yet another trip to talk to her and she met me out in the lobby with a schedule of classes, 3 of which I've already taken at a former university.

This process has been shockingly unproductive. As an older adult looking to get an additional degree, I'm disturbed by the process. I'm am sympathetic to any parent or student who doesn't have the time to run the required circles to complete this process and I have to wonder how many people are deterred by the undertaking.

Update: Just left the campus again after being told my transcript was located and would be in the system after lunch. Went to speak with an advisor, Nedra J, at the North Campus who told me it wasn't showing and there wasn't anything she could do. I told her what I was told and asked if there was anyone she could talk to rectify matter. She told me no and sat back in her chair. I tried to explain again and she turned her computer screen for me to see that it wasn't in the system.

I reached back out to the person who told me it would be there and she told me there was an image of it on my account that the advisor could have...

I had a virtual appointment with Barron Acenet. We had problems with signal but I did show her my ID. She said to leave the meeting and sign in again. So I did that. But I was not able to connect with her again. So I received a message from her saying " that we already lost time and I need to make another appointment". That easy for them to not do their job. It was an appointment for 30 mins and we lost 10 mins not a reason to cancel. Also I was hearing and seeing her very well. It was her who was saying that she couldn't see me or hear me well. I just needed to get help to register from a class that was all that wouldn't take too much time for them to do it.

She even't try to call me to do it by phone how other times advisors did when there is problems with signal. So I went in person that way there were no issues with " signal " but they take at least one to two hours to get with them. No matter there are not too many students waiting. My son is about to graduate this year from high School. We received some emails from San Jac to get enrolled with them. But of course not that not going to happen after these issues with that college and that experience with that advisor. He has taken dual credit with Lone Star College, also talked to advisors over there and we have never had any issues in two years with Lone Star College.

The wait time is longer just to talk with advisors. I recommend Lone...

Its definitely worth the daily long drive!!! I live in Sugar Land which is the complete opposite side of Houston and I have to pay out-of-district fees (which cost much more), but again its definitely worth it. I am NOT getting payed by anyone to put up this review, this is my own genuine opinion. Previously I went to HCC for some of my pre-req classes, and there whole online system in general was very unorganized. Signing up for classes was such a pain in the butt. One of my old co-workers goes to school at HCC for their Welding program, and he told they would run out of welding rods. Without welding rods, you can't weld!!!! I came to San Jac just for their Welding program because of all the good things I've heard about them. I can't speak for how the pre-req classes, and other programs are set up. For those y'all that are looking into Welding come to San Jacinto's North Campus; Central campus Welding makes rules that are just...
