Totally BS. I was transferring in from Calif with an A in Anatomy/ physiology and the counselor wouldn't accept it because their Anatomy class is broken down into two semesters instead of one. My class had the same identical description as theirs but because they like to milk it and turn one class into two so they can get more money for their school, she wouldn't except it.

My anatomy class was extremely intense with over half the class dropping out, it had a lab and covered the microscopic functions of the liver, the kidney, heart, lungs, the eyes , etc all of the systems and everything that you can imagine . Everyday of my life for 3.5 months, hours upon hours were spent studying for this class, every day and night was devoted to this intense class, driving back and forth 35 mins each way and this woman just blows it off like it's nothing. Why? So she can bring in more money for her school , making students take classes over that they've already taken. It was a prereq for a med class and it's not good enough for her?? Haha!

Every time she would read the description from her class, I would say we did that, we did that, we did that we did that , same description from my old College as theirs but she still refused to except it.

I also brought in prereqs for the University I wanted to go to so she could tell me if my transferring credits would be equivalent to what they needed. She was barely making any effort to look at it! It was clear she didn't want to put any work in, I had to take my finger and point to a class on my transcript and try to get an answer out of her. She was trying to do as little as possible as she could. I was so frustrated.

She was also the second counselor that I met with and neither one of them wanted to put all my transcripts in, they were all too lazy to do it. The first counselor only put my English in !.. and I have over 90 credits! The second said only the classes pertaining to my degree but I'm not sure which degree I'm going to choose so I'd like to have all of my classes put in. I have attended four communitu colleges now and I have never experienced such laxidasical and such laziness among staff. Usually you sit down with a counselor and they spend a lot of time with you converting your classes and making a plan for you, not at this school!

And good luck trying to find your way around the school, because what little signs they have are small and put out of the way. It's like walking around in a rat's maze.

As far as Financial aid : if you're transferring from out of state or another school with a lot of credits. I paved the way for you because they had no idea if my credits from the other school (which were maxed out) would affect my financial aid in this school. It took me awhile to get the answer. I went in Thursday and talked to a staff member who said he would give me the answer Monday, he did call but only to say he was still trying to find out. Wednesday came and still no feed back so I went down in person. Two staff members didn't know so I had to wait for them to track down the supervisor .

Pulling out, finding another community college.
