- Stay away!! Enrolling as a 1st time student is a NIGHTMARE. First, no one in the registrar or admissions office will answer the phone. Not at 9am on a Monday, 4pm on a Thursday or anytime in between. In the rare event that you can find a human to speak with, they will only tell you that you have to come to their campus to get any information - even if it's a 3 hour drive.
Second, my boyfriend was told he was ready to start for the summer. We didn't hear anything so made the drive to find out why. Oh, now he can't start til the fall because they forgot to have him take a placement test. Now, with 1 week til classes are scheduled to start, we haven't received a single letter regarding his classes. Not a welcome letter, not a bill, not a thing. Of course, no one will tell us over the phone why so now we'll have to make a 5th 3-hour drive to probably find out they forgot one small detail in the admissions process. What a joke! Please don't waste your time here, we wouldn't but this is the only program around for the job he wants to get.
