I applied for CPCC in January and it’s been a slog the entire time. To say they’re disorganized is an understatement. I sent in my application and waited 10 days for any response. I emailed to inquire about it, and I was told “whoops, someone must have forgotten to send you an acceptance email,” which then still took two more emails reminding them before getting sent. When I applied, I had my high school transmit my transcripts to CPCC. I got confirmation from the school board that they that they were sent and arrived. After my acceptance letter came, I got an email from CPCC requesting that I send my transcripts. I replied saying that had already been sent, gave them the date in which they should have arrived. I was told they hadn’t received them yet. I confirmed with the school board that they were sent to the correct email. I emailed CPCC back, again reiterating that they should have been received on that particular date. They again said they weren’t there yet. I responded, forwarding the correspondence with the school board, then sent that to all the email addresses I could find on the student information sheet. My transcripts had very clearly arrived, but this person was refusing to actually look because they were convinced they hadn’t. Magically, my transcripts had suddenly been found! Imagine if I hadn’t emailed numerous times. I would still be waiting to start school. I then waited for correspondence from my academic advisor on the next steps to take after orientation. I didn’t get anything. So I emailed again and was told they forgot to assign me one. They got me a meeting with a temporary one so I could get set up. I get that as adults we have to advocate for ourselves, but why do I am I stuck nagging people to literally just do their jobs? The actual advisor I ended up being assigned was out on medical leave. She came back and emailed me. When I tried communicating with her through the portal, she didn’t respond. So I emailed her only to find out she went back on medical leave. Absolutely no shade toward this advisor. I am not upset she took medical leave. But if an advisor is going on leave for four months, that is probably something the school should mention to the students she is advising. The I got an email saying I owed them money for a previous semester. I paid fully for my class for the only semester I have taken. Not a huge deal to get that email in error but it just really drives home how disorganized it is. The pros so far are that the online classes are plentiful so I can still work while attending school. The teachers are nice and communicative. That’s it. Good luck. Edit to add: The first session I had with an advisor (not my own) he told me that I had to take an additional tutoring credit for my English classes since my grades in high school weren’t great. Knowing my grades in high school weren’t great, I took a placement test numerous weeks previous to my advising session. But still, this advisor said I needed to have the tutoring credit as well So I signed up for English and the tutoring credit. Then another advisor (who got back to me after two weeks of me asking a question to anyone I could think of) said “you don’t need the tutoring credit. Your placement test placed you out of that. So thanks to the first advisor who was about to have me pay an extra $200 for something I didn’t need. Also, it turns out the little sidebar on your student planning page is completely arbitrary and inaccurate to track how many credits you have left to complete. Fun times. Edit to add again: I continually get emails from the cashier telling me I have an unpaid balance on my classes. I do not. I even sent screen shots to show that I don’t, but they still email me. It’s fun. 9/23/24 In the continuing saga of this cluster f of a school. They applied all my financial aid to my account months ago but have no revoked half of it, and no one said a damn thing. I happened to see it when I was planning out my schedule for the spring.
