Mesa Community College - Red Mountain Campus — Local services in Mesa

Literally have been trying to enroll in this total joke of a school since Spring of 2014. It is now Fall of 2015, attempted to register for the Spring 2016 semester -- my now 4th time trying to register for classes here.They have NO assigned academic advisors, which means every time you want guidance you get someone who knows nothing about you. Which also means you get NO help in anything whatsoever. What's funny about that is that my advisor from my former college, 2,600 miles away, is still contacting me on a monthly basis and trying to get me enrolled in another school and they won't even work with her to get me in. She helps me out and I don't even send money to that school anymore, so what's that say about MCC? They have working students in the enrollment and financial aid departments who have absolutely no idea on what they are doing and will pretend they do, and just hand off random paperwork for you to do to and tell you to bring it back and give you a pile of more paperwork to bring in, just because they honestly have no idea. Then you come back, and it turns out they didn't any of that and give you a new pile of ** that they don't actually need from you and turn it down, THEN later tell you that "oh well we did need that, so". ENDLESS cycle of this for a year now. They will not look at my transferred credits from an out of state college unless I register for classes, when the system finally decided to allow me to register for whatever reason, they tried to say I'm an out-of-state student and I need to pay that rate even though I've lived in Arizona, with valid everything to prove it, for well over a year and yet again they tell me the endless paperwork game of all the things I have already brought into them before that they declined me because they "didn't need it". Parking is bad, too. The one lot that you are allowed to park on if you aren't registered and haven't received a parking pass is constantly full with no available spaces, so I always end up having to park in student pass parking anyway and worry about being towed/receiving a ticket the entire time I'm inside trying to register and enroll. (I don't even know if they do towing/tickets, since no one told even went over that me). I'm paying out of pocket for school, no aid, no scholarships, no loans, just cash, and this is how I get treated? I find it hard to believe this facility has been open for 50 years. I don't even know how people get into go to school, and everyone I've met here in AZ whose actually gotten into this school rants about how much they hated it and never went back after their first semester. I continued to pursue it thinking I just might have a positive experience, but obviously I'm not going to and I've now realized that. I don't know why anyone would even want to go to school here, and I certainly don't want to anymore and will take my money elsewhere since I can see MCC cares so little about future students I cannot even begin to imagine how they treat current students. So thanks, MCC, for wasting an entire year for me on lost time to work on my education. So if you're a student coming from a college in a different state, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL. They made it obvious they don't...

This school is so messed up and has no idea what's going on. Staff is so uninformed. They have no idea what to do or how to direct you. The ones that attempt to help, give you completely wrong numbers and emails. It took my daughter an entire semester to get enrolled because they lost her paperwork so many times. Now she's been trying to get her final course done for 8 months now and nobody knows how to set it up or what to do. No wonder nobody knows anything because there's no consequences and no training for the employees. My next step is getting an attorney. I'm...

After waiting at SCC for two hours to see and advisor and being informed that they couldn't help me I drove to this location AFTER calling. When I arrived I was informed that they closed the academic advising due to short staffing.

Is this hell or what? I have been driving all over Arizona just so I can get my MAPP program changed. I've been at this for over 4 hours. What a disorganized pile of crap. This academic advising nonsense needs to...
