CCAC Allegheny Campus — Local services in Pittsburgh

Let me make something very clear by saying the professors themselves are fantastic. They have never done me wrong by any means and have been so beneficial in my college education and supportive in my dream to seek education beyond CCAC. The administration at CCAC is a completely different story. I was in a grave medical situation and was not offered even a slight bit of support from the college and had to purposely fail classes. Every single appeal attempt I made was rejected except for the obvious college error. When they did eventually accept a few of my medical withdrawals after one of their directors of advisory refused to look at my appeals or my medical records. These were medical withdrawals, not normal withdrawals which is a completely different process involving my doctor. They purposely put the withdrawals on my transcript as W instead of MW so they could still claim the one thousand so dollars they medical withdrawals were supposed to forgive completely. I’m almost sure that is illegal. Secondly, I was placed in 100 level courses even though I made it extensively clear during my time with the college that I wanted to transfer to a four year university. I wasn’t too concerned at first because most universities accept 100 level classes for undistributed credit. CCAC failed to tell me that their 100 level classes do not qualify for this. I was screwed out of overall $3,500 and 15 credits (all A’s and one B by the way) I was told would transfer. I am twenty years old now standing with less credits than a first semester freshman. I urge you to consider this situation if you want to attend CCAC and I urge you to attend a four year university instead if you’re financially and academically capable. Most universities openly charge you a ridiculous amount of money upfront but CCAC chose to be sneaky about it. The American College system is already messed up and CCAC is just further aiding it by being sneaky in their...

I have been a degree-seeking and non-degree student at this location of CCAC and online since 2014. Here, I received two associate's degrees, one in nursing and another in business. I have several college degrees, including from tier-1 universities, so I can compare the quality of CCAC to other schools. The quality of the students and instructors at CCAC is a mixture—some good and some bad. Generally, students and instructors at major universities are a better quality than at CCAC, but universities cost a lot more money. As a result, I take lower-level classes at CCAC and then transfer for the upper-level classes. I will continue to take classes at CCAC because their tuition is much more affordable, and they offer many convenient...

I love CCAC, as an international student, I learned a lot here, and thanks to the mentors in the learning commons, especially Ali and Anne, under their help, I improved my writing skills. Teachers are good and nice to students. But, the advisors are not helpful enough. when I come to them, they are just interested in registering classes but not caring much whether the courses are suitable to you. and the reception in the 120 room is so impatient and always speaks with brows frown. Hope there are some survey for those people who are serving for CCAC, students' voice...
