I enjoy this school. There's not much that is bad about it. It is a community college after all so you still save money. Their online interface (D2l) is pretty good for the most part. As far as teachers, they seem like they care. I really enjoy the cafeteria prices are expensive but menu is good. School is clean Learning commons (Library) is a wonderful resource I enjoy the study rooms but not how they time them out. Overall, a good school.
Love PPCC! Built some good connections and met awesome ppl
It's going great, this is my first semester in college. The staff is really nice and helpful.
Information and communication needs to be so much better than what it is. This includes staff to staff staff to student. We get told several or the wrong things and now first day of class we have to change everything because no one communicates or gives the wrong communication. This is ridiculous!
If you are a first year or just anyone who actually knows what they want to do with their life DO NOT GO HERE. Advising is a joke. They literally do NOTHING. I have experienced nothing but bad experience from 2008 (when I originally went to this school) 2019 when I tried to return for the nursing program and now 2021 same problem. No one answers the phone and can t get an appointment until 2 days before class starts smh. You all should really be setting a better example for punctuality and professionalism.
As a enrolled student who is using VA benefits?
If your professors tell you "this class ain't for you" after taking an assignment that tests your diagnostics for the class? Do not change your schedule at all!!!! Because I took their advice and what they didn't tell me is that the class my professor wanted me to move into was "online format" instead of "remote format" like I was suppose to take in order to be considered a full time student to earn full college credits and earn monthly funds. I couldn't tell you how unmotivating this was and now I have to take another semester after 2022....
This place is a joke! I've graduated from PPCC back in 2018, and I feel like the education in the video production world was. obsolete.
I also had to fight with them to drop a class and get my refund, but the department that "specialized" giving back refunds said no and forced me to pay a class I didn't wanted to take. They also threatened to call the police if I didn't pay up, and people actually like this school?
Just tried applying for classes to get my requirements out of the way at UCCS, but this school is making it hard to even applying for anything! All of the advisors are at home. I understand that the pandemic can make their job challenging, but the PPCC fails to let anyone know about the situation.
I'm currently a UCCS student, and they have been helpful with me trying to get my bachelor degree. I found out that UCCS makes it easier to apply for fasfa than PPCC. Do yourself a favor! Stay away from this place and find another way to get a better education. Associates degree are becoming useless in the workplace. Take classes to get the requirements out of the way, but don't graduate with them because the degree is useless.
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.
It's very clean, especially the bathrooms, which I love because most public bathrooms aren't. Most importantly, it's a great space for studying and getting work done. There are lots of people there who are willing to help you get around. And there's also lots of vending machines around if you like snacks lol. I only rate four starts because I wish the cafeteria was open. I get there is a pandemic but it's hard for me to provide my own breakfast and lunch on days that I am required to attend campus for a class, so I think there should be a way for them to serve it while maintaining safety and sanitation. Other than that I love it here.
