Ivy Tech Community College South Bend-Elkhart — Local services in South Bend

I would give no stars if I could. I had to withdraw due to a diagnosis medically that required me to relocate. I was about a week late from the withdrawal period and I was told to do a late withdrawal request. I completed this and they stated that I didn’t withdraw in the time period that I had even though I wasn’t diagnosed until after the drop period. What is the point of having late withdrawal requests when it wasn’t approved. I got good grades, but I attended this college and did not have any other issues so there was no reason that I can see that they would’ve declined this as this was for a medical only reason. This college states that they are student focused and for the students, but they are not, nor do they represent the community in a positive way. In my instance house again, I medically needed a drop.

I’m sure I’ll unfortunately need to call back as well if nobody follows up on this. All it takes is a little empathetic and clear communication to help. That shouldn’t be an...

I went to tour the school for potential interest in enrollment and a security guard there was insanely invasive and rude and offputting as if I were walking around a restricted place that wasn't allowed to the public he asked a million questions and even made a demand of how long i needed to be finished before he would assert authority mind you I was only here five minutes and had walked straight to the ladies room hadn't even began to make my way to admissions or reception. However after that embarrassing and demeaning encounter I went to the office and spoke with the ladies there who were very helpful and friendly and apologetic for the rude security officers behavior. If it wasnt for the ladies I wouldn't even feel comfortable going back for a tour at all let alone considering...
