Oklahoma City Community College — Local services in Oklahoma City

I guess OCCC Financial Aid is and I quote “Not there to help people, its not their JOB!” Just WOW! They offer no assistance, knowledge, answers, or anything really. It’s kind of ironic since its suppose to be a “pursuit of knowledge learning” environment but when the staff “can’t problem solve or search anything” what do they expect the youth to learn! Another complete failed “learning” institution. UNBELIEVABLE wake up call on the culture now. A homeless youth & student comes in and has no where to go because they have been kicked out of their parents home and the school says “ oh well its not our job to connect the student with services, support students, or offer any local solutions because “its not their job.” It is totally insulting and a total disrespect to anyone trying to better themselves. When the staff are completely useless then what can the institution expect to turn out legitimately?? Is this treatment because this youth is not a “minority” or do they treat everyone this abysmal?? Can anyone explain their horrible experience?

UNBELIEVABLE- dont waste anytime or money on this idiotic so called “college”, obviously the staff are not there, and I quote, “to help students with issues nor can they find anyone to help them because its. not. their. Job!” That statement should tell you all you need to know about OCCC!

OCCC is not there to help anyone despite their wealth of “contact” and administrative offices!!

DISTURBING & DISGUSTING!

OU is much better at advancing the pursuit of knowledge and “Helping their students!” Don’t bother with OCCC it is a waste of all efforts and they are not there to help youth at all!!!

And I quote again “Its not there job to connect youth with help, services, or anything else!”

OCCC couldn’t care less about youth if they tried any harder!

Just read all the other financial aid reviews!

I even called the Vice President’s office and just as useless as the Financial Aid!!

Warning** DONT GO TO THIS SCHOOL especially if you are planning on using FINANCIAL AID!!

Attached is the photo of how they DO NOT DO THEIR JOB! It has been updated twice but they “REFUSE” to acknowledge it!! This is what YOU get to...

I’ve had the most horrific experience with enrolling & actually registering for classes. Upon enrollment I guess I parked in the wrong parking lot (first time ever being on campus) and received a parking ticket. I went in two months in advance to enroll & register for my classes, just to find out a month later the advisor I spoke with never registered me for the classes. As I tried logging in to my online account, I had trouble due to them putting the wrong social in the system for me when they took a copy of my social. In order for them to change it, I had to bring another copy of my social. After bringing them a copy of my social and taking school picture, I decided to get a print out of my schedule. I was still unable to log in to my account to do so. When they finally got into my account I had a hold on my account for the $15 parking ticket. That’s when I notched I wasn’t register for any classes & the classes I thought I was enrolled in were full. I only had one class available or an online course that I could take. I was sent to the security office to pay the ticket only to find out they don’t tame payments & I would have to go to the bursars office to do so. I went to the bursars office to pay the ticket only to find out they don’t take cards & I would have to log in online to pay the ticket but the online account is locked due to the social. I shouldn’t have to pay a ticket from the start if I didn’t know where to freaking park. All in all I had I horrible experience with OCCC and the staff is very unorganized. I went in a month in advance to enroll & register for my classes so that I wouldn’t have to go through this around the time school starts. Because of this I do not trust them & I will not be attending this college. I will further my options & look else where and if I could rate this college a zero I would! I have never written a review on anything not a business, school, job etc ever but...

My Son and I have been up do OCCC many times over 2 months speaking to each department, taking tests, providing income verification, signing form after form. Provided them with 16-17 FASFA approval and 18-19 FASFA approval and have told them from day 1 that the EMT course is what he will be taking, we also provided Fasfa application with OCCC as the school and the Emt being the class. He was approved for 5900. and the cost is something around 2500. I took 2 days off of work using my vacation hours to get this completed. We enrolled him into the course and got his ID and he has a required pre class mid May he must go to for more details on uniforms or material needed for course. I am him mother they have just as much info about me as him due to him living at home still but have emailed my son yesterday a month after enrolling and testing and such and advised him they spoke to director and Fasfa doesn't cover this course!! So I called the Financial Aid office and they refused to speak to me with out my sons authorization are you kidding me but they want me to be responsable and provide income verification for my SON to get inrolled but refuse to speak to me about his FASFA?? So I asked them if it was FASFA or them that decided 2 months later that the course he was taking from day 1 wasn't elegable for FASFA and the lady told me that it was up to FASFA!! So I called Fasfa to confirm this info that OCCC financial aid had advised me and spoke to a young lady that informed me this is grant money and the final decision is up to the school not to FASFA... so I was lied to waisted my vacation hours and time enrolling my son for them to decide after we were in that office 2days speaking to each department and NO ONE COULD TELL US THAT THEN??? This is BS I am a single mom of 3 we got qualified for FASFA for a reason due to low income but Occc want to run us...
