Texas A&M University-Victoria — Local services in Victoria

If I could put no stars I would. I have spent the last 3 years trying to get things done at this college. My son was taking courses and we were okay until the last year of his degree. He had one course that was a on-line course required for graduation. It is only offered once a year. He signed up for it and it didn't make. He had to call to find out about the course not making. They did not notify him. This was a required course for graduation that is only offered once a year and they didn't have it! This was the only course he needed to graduate! We had to write to the President of the College and while he offered apologies..the course did not come up again until the following year. We had to write again to get the course offered. After completing the course, we waited for a diploma. No diploma. We didn't apply for it in time. Apparently you have to apply in February for spring graduation. Applied for summer graduation. this is now November and we have not received the diploma. We kept calling to find out why and were constantly reassured that it was mis-delivered and we would get it. Today, he drove the 2 hour trip to Victoria and found that they had placed a hold on the diploma because of a fee they had never told him about. Even after the phone calls about not receiving the diploma...NO ONE checked to see why it had not been issued. No idea now when the diploma will come. But it has taken 2 years to get one on line course and almost 6 months to find out why his diploma has not arrived. Do yourself a favor and NEVER ATTEND...

I loved this school when I initially started. Everyone was helpful and communication was awesome. In 2021 when I was expected to graduate, I suffered an unexpected loss of my Mother and Son. I took a break from school but knowing I only had 5 electives left before I graduated , I knew I wanted to complete what I started. I recently did all the steps in March to return to school for the summer . My advisor told me she would put me on a scholarship list and it should cover my summer courses in full . That was not true I had a very hard time getting in contact with anyone from financial aid and when they finally emailed me back they had no clue about me being on a list and said it’s first come first serve . They were no help at all , so I had to drop the classes I was going to take in the summer . Fast forward to fall I was given an award . I signed up for classes just to be told the day after school started that it was an error so once again I had to drop my classes . Now I have an ridiculous amount of holds on my account due to miscommunication from financial aid. The scholarship are a joke you apply and get no kind of answers from financial aid they do nothing to try to help. I was eager to return to this school because my previous experience was great now I’ve just about given up on trying to complete my 5 courses to graduate. Please do better with communicating with students it’s already hard trying to get back into school and to have more stress from the school...

This is from my online experience NOT in person Overall my experience here wasn't the best, but it wasn't as horrible as I had experienced with the previous university. For the MOST PART the professors I had were good, but they were either good professors or they were HORRIBLE, there was no in between. The reason I'm giving this three stars is because I'm having to drop out because I don't have 2 accounting classes, which means I have to be a transient at a different college for 1-2 semesters and pay out of pocket (which I can't do) all because of TWO classes. The reason is because they don't offer lower level classes here at all, but especially online where it's even more limited. I work full time so I can't attend school in person. But when I entered the Human Resources Management (HRM) program I was told that it was available fully online and that I would be able to complete the degree with all the classes I already had. This was a lie, which I find out when I only have 2 semesters left before I graduate. Now, I'm having to drop with only 2 semesters (nearly one year) left all because I was lied to about the program at the beginning before I applied. Everyone here (meaning financial aid, admin. people, etc.) were very nice, but they lied just to get me into the school. Overall, don't attend here unless you have every last one of your lower level classes completed or you'll end up like me over 2 accounting classes that you can't complete. Very...
