This school s administration is full of irresponsible people who don t know what they re doing. One person passes the blame onto another, that person onto another, and it s all one vicious cycle.

The counselors give you incorrect guidance (they don t seem to know UC or CSU requirements), please beware that you should speak to multiple counselors just to cross check that what you re being told is accurate. Also, keep in mind that if you make afternoon appointments with counselors they might call in sick without bothering to ask someone to contact their appointments so they can save themselves the trip ( I lost an afternoon of work, gas, and time because of a counselor s inability to let me know that he wasnt going to meet me for our scheduled appointment).

The Admissions and Records as well as Financial Aid offices are as helpful as speaking to a blind deaf mute. You go, and you go, and you go, trying to get answers to simple questions like, why hasn t my home school been changed since I came in early February to have it changed? They send you from one office to another and not even they have the answer to that (thank God they at least have all the offices in one building). I ve gone to try and change my home school from Trade Tech to LACC on five separate occasions and nothing yet. Oh, and forget about calling the offices, they will never answer.

Yet SURPRISINGLY they need to increase their enrollment rates because it s been decreasing for some time now. Weirdly, though , with the new system in use students are accidentally enrolled in courses they never signed up for. Then students are later berated by school staff as to why they never bothered to show up to class when you try to petition the courses you originally never signed up for (btw tracking down some of the Professors is more appropriate a job for a private investigator than a student).

Avoid the school if you can, I will transfer out as soon as is possible for me.
