I have been a PPCC student for years. I have enjoyed many of the classes I have taken, mostly because of the professors, but there are certainly a few that were "required" wastes of time and money. The reason for the 1 star is the faculty and staff communication and ability to answer questions. I have rarely been able to get my questions answered by the school when I call/email/set up Appointments, and this has been an issue since I started. My biggest issue right now is graduation. Due to PPCC's covid-19 policies, I finished the last of my required credits at a different community college and transfered them back over to finish my degree. I applied for graduation in the beginning of Fall semester of 2020. It is the end of the spring semester 2021, and I still have heard NOTHING. There is no department to select for graduation information when calling the school, so it has to be the operator that can transfer you to the graduation records office and, in the numerous times I have called, they have yet to pick up the phone. I have been trying for months to get in contact with ANYONE who can tell me what I need to do to graduate, but no one has called me back, responded to my emails, or even transfered me to someone who should know the answers to my questions. This is a college. You would think that if they have nothing else down to a science, they would have graduation figured out.

I have put years of time and thousands of dollars into this community college and I am so displeased with it. All I want is to receive my degree so I can move on. I hope those who are reading this will look elsewhere for a formal education until PPCC can get their act together.

Additionally, I have tried to fill out a concern on the PPCC website, but the forms are set up as incident reports and there is nothing for complaints about the overall communication of the faculty and staff.
