I was sent back and forth from one window to another with different answers, when I wanted to know why all my classes had been dropped. All along I had been thinking that I had financial aid, and a small balance that could be paid before school started. Admissions, financial aid, payment office just aren’t on the same page. Admissions first told me that I accidently logged on and dropped the classes myself, then they told me because of the balance I had which was 179 dollars that wasnt paid was the reason I was dropped. Finally went over to financial aid to come to find out that I’m on financial aid suspension. I was suspended for dropping my summer session(2) 2 classes that I paid for out of my OWN pocket! Nor are you notified!! With drop date being today August 17 I still to to this day have not received a letter/EMAIL saying that Im on financial aid suspension. The issue is that a letter was not sent nor email notifying me to haul behind and set up a payment plan! The financial aid office told me that I’m responsible to check online of status when online I was still being awarded money it had not been updated that I was suspended. I had registerd for Fall17 classes did my financial aid early and had been awarded. I wake up this morning and everything has been dropped! As soon as registration opened again the class that I really wanted is full now so Im patiently waiting for someone to DROP! Kindly spoke to the financial aid supervisor the answer to my question was under staffed is the reason a letter or email was not sent to me, and also that he was retiring soon one reason being of how under staffed wcjc is.

I wish I could rate each part of the college individually!
Be sure you are the type of person that will stay on top of things! Administration is not very forthcoming on what you will and will not require. We learned we needed a parking pass and student id only after getting a ticket.
Division secretary Michelle Smith in vocational science, she was a gem! She was so helpful getting us registered and everything!

My son is there for welding and as of yet I have zero complaints regarding this department. They seem to truly care about the students, their safety, their learning, and that they enjoy themselves.

There is a gentleman in the security office who is the absolute sweetest person and is so helpful. He told us to file an appeal about our parking ticket, and he probably wrote us the ticket.
