Iowa Central Community College — Local services in Fort Dodge

At first I thought that I was going to enjoy attending ICCC, however that was not my experience. I was never told whom my advisor was, I was never given a direct number to him/her when I enrolled in ICCC I was given a lady named "Christine Debusk" however she was not my advisor, she was good with answering simple questions but would always reroute my call to someone "that knew" what they were talking about when in reality they didn't even know why I was being transferred to them. Then I started classes... "ohh boy" I was automatically enrolled in a class called "SDV-118" which is basically a retirement chat forum about how people don't even know how to operate a computer (keep in mind it was a $750+ course, that's non related to ANY degree) you had to post in the class 2 times a day 5 days a week on 2 different post topics which got extremely repetitive considering all the "students" were over the hill students that didn't even know how to run a computer, (You get tired of talking about how to relate to someone else's experience when you don't even know the individual) this course is also non transferable and non credit earning. Then I got to the math class which was actually a decent class, I forgot whom my instructor was but he was really able to help the students in helping them understand the problems that they were having. I then decided that ICCC wasn't for me and that I had had enough. I withdrew from ICCC and started attending a private university in Lynchburg Va when I started the application process the school needed my unofficial transcript from ICCC. I called ICCC and asked them if they would send over my official transcript they said that there were going to have to transfer me to the business department, after being transferred to the business office at ICCC I was then informed that I owed a little over $1,300.00 for withdrawing from my classes. I told them that I had a student loan and all of my classes had been paid for and that I was already getting a bill from the loan company and that I was already paying back the loan while I was still in school at ICCC. The rude laldy on the other end of the phone politely told me that "that wasn't any of her concern that her concern was the best financial interest of Iowa Central Community College" ( If I'm not wrong I was the one helping to pay her salary to be so rude from my tuition) After they FINALLY sent over my transcript ( 1.5 weeks later) I got accepted into Liberty University. (AMAZING school). So in wrapping up in this review, if you want to attend a rip off school that says they're here for their students when in fact they don't even know you from Adam's house cat then yes attend this school, if you want to be ripped off by getting enrolled automatically in non essential classes that are also non transferable and non credit earning then yes, attend...

I enrolled myself with ICCC since May of 2012 for AA program online. Even though student adviser has changed 3 or 4 times, they have always called me to see if I needed anything which I never did. Initially, the adviser walked me through the entire admission process on the phone with me. They waived a admission fee for writing and submitting a short essay to explain why I wanted to pursue college education. They have great tech support to assist you with online classes for all your technical issues. Instructors of the classes are so engaged in discussion forums and well structured. Only cons I can think of are that because it is online courses I have been taking, you really have to be resourceful yourself to seek what you need to get through each class you are assigned to every 8 week. My experiences with this college have been nothing but positive. Some classes are more challenging than the others but if you are full time working adult and seeking to obtain degree, Iowa Central Community College is a great place to start your new academic courses. Instructors with this college do care about how you progress in each class and you have to stay connected with them through your own effort. I highly recommend...

Professor Heidi Clarck is horrible and the whole school system is a scam. I joined the advanced nursing program and the professor waited until the end of the first exam to tell me to go to the nursing office for the ATI package. The test was on ATI which every thing in the package I received afterwords would have greatly helped me on the exam. She disorganized and acts nice. She gets mad when she's asked a question she does not know. She will always say to things in the slide that has to the with chemistry we don't have to know this. One student stressed for her to still explain the chemistry part, and she clearly stated ; she didn't know. How can you have it in your slides and not have any idea. After all of this ;the nursing department tried to get me to stay. I was uncomfortable in the school. The town is unwelcoming. They now made up a funny bill for me to pay after I withdrew. I will alert any student on any site possible to stay away from Iowa Central Community College and specifically the nursing program. I would give negative stars if it...
