Fox Valley Technical College — Local services in Town of Grand Chute

I’m 35 year old male with 2 kids. I also served 8years in the US Army.

I took there automotive program.

I’m absolutely dissapointed I wasted my Post 9/11 Bill on this school. Seems like there auto program has its own rules. They do have a computer lab to do homework I. But there’s no one available to help you. So if you don’t ask in class your outta luck.

Seems also like fair treatment is out the door here. If the instructor likes someone more then you, be prepared to wait. Because he will take all the time helping them and ignoring you in lab. Also I noticed that for tests and homework they’ll really cut others slack and not cut you a break. I went to the councilors about this and sat and talked with him for a good hour. I thought at least something would be done. NOPE. I tried calling to check and I was ignored. The second semester I had to actually see the dean to help something done. And even then the instructor knew I couldn’t do a thing so now that he knows I’m the one that went there he got even worse.

Also I’m 35 I did my time cleaning up after others in the army I don’t want to have to come to school and clean up after them. You have some instructors (night) that seems like they don’t check there students. So when we come in the morning we get stuck scrubbing floors that they dirtied. It gets old fast.

If you use the Post 9/11 Bill and something happens don’t think your going drop. If they mark you with a W instead of a F. Be prepared to pay it all back. And the instructors know this so it kinda seems like they torture you more.

Don’t get me wrong there are some good instructors but since your stuck with one per semester there’s a huge risk you might get screwed out of your money also. My grades are A’s and B’s so don’t think I’m sore about that. I do feel these programs are set for 18 year olds.

You make your own choice but I sure won’t waste any more money at...

Very very upset with their communication. I applied here of October of 2024 and I got enrolled then in July of 2025 I applied for the cosmetology program and Catherine was the person that I talked to and walked me through all of the steps that I needed to do before I get my schedule for my classes. Then she told me that I was going to get a acceptance letter saying that I got accepted to the program and then I was supposed to hear from Juan which I haven't yet which is frustrating because I need to let my job know when I'm starting cosmetology school and I've heard nothing and mean while I am also struggling with my email and I'm not sure why when I've had my email sent up already so I don't know anything about any updates so I'm very disappointed and it sucks because cosmetology has been my dream and I've been wanting to come here but no of course the staff wants to make things complicated and not just easy for someone who has a learning disability. Very frustrated and it makes me not want...

First off I have really enjoyed taking classes at FVTC. It is a great way to experience learning as a non-traditional student. But my latest experience is a bit disappointing. I just enrolled in a non-credited class on-line. In order to make a credit card payment I was directed to "PayPass" which I assumed was the same as "PayPal". Much to my surprise I was charged a $3 service fee. I called FVTC to ask for a refund of the fee and I would pay by check or another way using my credit card. The customer service person said it was too late. This is a fee that goes directly to the PayPass company as a way to pay for the credit card processing services. FVTC does not incur any credit card processing charges. I feel bad for the students who have limited funds and are charged additional money to pay by credit card. Instead include the cost of paying by credit card as a higher registration fee and charge less for those paying by...
