Wake technical community college Reviews

It was great. We were picking up my Wife's belongings because she just retired.

Here's a highly advanced educational system in the north Carolina educational development.

I went to Guilford Technical Community College for one degree and thought that school was rock bottom, then I started Wake Tech. Ill make this story short, if you want a ton of work that as someone who has a life/job as well can barely manage but then have it all made practically null by a 45% grade weight for the two exams in the semester, this is your school. My review is subject to change over time but I am disappointed in the structure here and expected something better than a high school at the least. To clarify as well, I am a full time employee who took these online for "convenience". If you want to be charged for a mistake the school made when they screwed your financial aid up at the last minute, this is your school. I will forever be infuriated about having to take money out of my pocket to pay for a class I had to drop because they are so disorganized.

Blair in Advising was incredibly patient and helpful.

Excellent community college with a moderately large campus and good staff

Went here for my associates degree. Great resources, tuition prices and professors (check rate my professor).

I had my Covid 19 vaccine here. Everything was great!

Came to this campus to get my Covid shot. This was well organized and I felt the service was quick, efficient and professional.

Wake Tech is an amazing place to go to college. The courses' prices are lower than what you see in the first two years of a four-year university. Your experience with the professors here may vary on their policies and expectations, but I have been fortunate to have friendly and excellent professors.

So here's my Wake Tech story.
I secured financial aid and then enrolled into Wake Tech as a full-time student.
And then the financial aide office attempted to cut my much-needed aid twice, the first time on the Friday before my classes were to begin and then the second time was the following Monday via email when I was literally 4/5 the way through the commute from Fayetteville to Raleigh to attend my first day of classes, causing me to turn around and head back home.
And another thing: maybe it's just me -- perhaps I missed something?--however it seems that Wake Tech expects new students to simply show up and know what to do? Nothing's explained, nearly none of the stuff that I needed to know to get started was covered during the online orientation that new students are required to complete nor were we given any booklet or the like to explain how stuff works .
But let's rewind a bit. After securing financial aid, enrolling and completing online orientation....I remained clueless. So thereafter I spent about a week commuting back and forth between Fayetteville and South campus in an effort to complete registration and get everything else taken care of. I did so under the assumption that I'd get stuff figured out if only I'd drive up there and speak to Wake Tech face to face--but not so .
During this process I asked advisors and other staff a variety of questions only to be told conflicting info and advice thereby increasing my confusion.
And then I went to the bookstore where I learned that some of the books that I needed were out of stock and that notebooks cost $8.
So I left without my books.
I did however attempt to attend classes first day of semester, as mentioned above, but then received that email from the financial aid office-- had that not happened I would have went to school and maybe things would have turned out differently.
I did receive another email from someone else at Wake Tech telling me that the email from financial aid threatening to reduce my aid the 2nd time was a mistake and that I'm covered...but unfortunately I've already missed a week of school so I guess I'm out.
Very depressing as Wake Tech is the closest college offering a full curriculum on substance abuse/addiction counseling and that's what I want to do.
But, it is what it is .
