Dalton State College — Local services in Dalton

Parents ..... do NOT waste your money or your child's financial aide at this JOKE of an institution of higher learning. The :online professors/ instructors are incompetent and could care less about your child's success...many of them outright ignore student's emails, grading integrity is non-existent, papers and quizzes often take over a week.to be graded and on more than one occasion, graded incorrectly, caught by my son and I.... This is UNACCEPTABLE! When mistakes are pointed out to them, they become rude or combative. One's excuse was..."I'm only human". These courses appear to be self taught... because there's no instruction other than giving an assignment. and with them taking so long to grade an assignment. the feed back is useless for the student to use to improve their learning experience. These professors/instructors can't even be bothered to even fill out the ADA accommodations form so students with disabilities such as Aspergers or Autism can get the services that they are entitled to by LAW. When we adressed the issue with admin., the Dean of Students and Disability sevices. It became crystal clear that they do not care about helping my son succeed and could not be bothered to even show up for a scheduled meeting, then gaslit us saying there must have been "miscommunication" on our part. The most unprofessional and incompetent department of admin. We keep getting passed around and nothing has been resolved. . Yet my son is still managing to maintain As with ZERO help.He had to drop his math class because the online instructor never answered any of his questions.. completely ignoring vital questions about an upcoming proctored test. This particular instructor is supposedly a "Doctor. We reahed out to another admin dept. that supposedly governs the conduct of the online course istructors... Followed her instructions of sending in a formal complaint and just like Dean of Students ....nothing is resolved...just galighting and buck pasing. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE AT THIS COLLEGE CARES ABOUT ACOMMODATING NEURODIVERGENT STUDENTS.... SHAME ON YOU DALTON STATE. My next step is to wage a formal coplaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. I am beyond done with this disgusting incompetency and blatant disregard of my son's needs and will not stop until accountability...

I was faced with the decision to travel far off or stay local at Dalton State and I am so happy that I made the right decision to go to Dalton State!

I attended all 4 years here and had countless of experiences with staff,students, and faculty and they all were amazing. The people here really care!

I have made friendships here that will last a lifetime!

Get involved you get out of college what you put into it!

The trails are gorgeous also, I have attached some photos of the...

this school's financial aid was absolutely no help this year. there were numerous students who were having troubles with it, even though they did everything on their end, and all the got was "make sure you're checking your emails". They were completely useless and did not seem to care about helping students. Only a few people really tried, and no one seems to be empathetic about a single student's situation. This was supposed to be some people's HOME for 2/4/however many years. The staff, but specifically financial aid should feel ashamed for how they've handled so many student's...
