Tarrant County College - Trinity River Campus — Local services in Fort Worth

I went to this school 8 years ago exploring the study of nursing and had an amazing experience. I have returned to continue my education and I have no idea what happened. Its so terrible now.

I have showed up 3 times to an advising appointment, and I have been stood up 3 times. They tell me its technical issues from a new program they are using. They insulted me and accused me of not reading the instructions. I quickly corrected them that following the instructions resulted in a blank screen. I work in the technology field, it is absurd how they have this whole thing set up. They are having go to a general open meeting room in teams via our browser. On top of that, they use an old version of teams even though they JUST now transitioned to it. I have never had any business or institution use teams in such an inefficient way.

When a phone appointment was set up the call went straight to voicemail 10 mins late from when the appointment should have began. I was left a message saying the advisor is working from home, so I wont be able to call them back. They told me to tell the front office to tell them to call me again within 15 mins, because they will be moving on to their next appointment soon. Only their front office was not picking up. Maybe if the advisor had contacted me on time there would have been more time to figure this out.

If this is how TCC conducts their communication, I have extremely low expectations of how any online courses or distance communication works these days. Rather than jump through hoops to avoid doing this again, I am better off going to one of the other local...

Business services and financial aid department deserve a 0. Complete waste of time and energy. Do not apply here if you are a veteran or you are a older person of color. I have had the worst experience dealing with financial aid and business services they have no idea how to process a payment through out side grants and funding. I have spent the last few days in headaches and panic attacks. They will gladly drop your classes 3 times. I had a really bad experience with both offices. If they are ran this poorly then how is the running of the school. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth with all the disfunction which took hours and days to hear back from anyone. I have texts and emails to prove all of my claims. I was really looking forward to attending and thought it would be a great program and opportunity to learn different things. Do your research and find another school plenty of schools that actually want students and to help them to achieve their goals. How I was treated I should be filling a claim for...

This week I visited the TCC Trinity River Campus and was informed that campus President Dr. Madison has made it clear that all staff and faculty are to park on the upper levels 6 & 7. However, I did notice a faculty vehicle parked in a handicapped space on the 2nd level parking space. Dr. Madison has always conducted himself as a person with high standards and expects the same from his staff, some staff, and faculty believe they are above the rules and don't adhere to them, one the reasons for their actions is that the Campus Police do not ticket their vehicle when they park on the lower levels. I have informed Campus Police several times of staff/faculty parking on lower levels and was told they can park there, I would respond per the President's directive all staff and faculty are to park on levels 6&7 where it is secured and students and visitors do not have access. Finally, I even filed a complaint with the head of the Police Department and...
