This school is ridiculous. After mailing all transcripts and sending teas scores, I go for the mandatory info session for nursing. I get there and find out that my transcripts cannot be accepted because although they were official they were mailed to me first. So I asked for them back, only to find out they had been opened so are no longer official. But she said the envelope said issues to student. Also my high school transcripts could not be accepted because although they were office they did not come directly from the high school, nailed to student first. I graduated in 2008 and Fulton County has a records office, they wont come from the high school once the next school year starts. Here's the kicker, I submitted all documents 6 weeks ago and never got notice about an issue and the deadline for nursing admission is today, in an hour.. Annndddd I drove from Atlanta. Andddd the dean refused to talk to me. And the main campus told me I should know better being that I already have a degree. Sooo yes, with transcript fees, mailing cost and gas I've thrown away 102$. Wasted time can't even...

I've only taken online courses, but the disorganization has been RIDICULOUS. Material is often unclear, confusing, and sometimes even contradicting, and all of the teachers I've had have put hardly any effort into actually teaching. I'm currently taking an online math lesson, and after our final online math test, the teacher assigned us MORE homework just a WEEK before the big final (which is worth 40% of your final grade.) It's ridiculous enough to have a final a month before the end of the semester and only give your students a week to prepare, but adding more homework assignments ON TOP of that? Absolutely ridiculous. I sent the teacher an email (politely) letting them know how absolutely impossible that workload is, especially for anyone balancing kids and a job, but they didn't even bother responding to me. I plan on taking this issue to the higher-ups, but I have a strong feeling they won't give a crap either.

These people DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS. If I had more money, I would be at AU right now.

It's a community college. What can you really expect from a public funded college in the state of Alabama with a grand total of a few thousand students? What you pay for is what you get, teachers and administrators compensated at a social worker rate, most likely as just some extra work as a side job. On that note, the campus itself is aesthetically pleasing and classroom sizes are small for optimum learning. Some teachers are superb, some are not, let not the difficulty of the class be the decider of proffesor quality but with how much more knowledge and better understanding you...
