Historically, a horrible place to bring your kids because of corruption and lack of respect and lack of decency. Financial department is still corrupt what I’m hopeful it’s gotten better in the last couple of years. I hope that the new Dean of students is better than the previous ones which were horrible and did not care about anyone but themselves!

Like the slogan says, this “is a great place to start.” I’m so thankful for the patience and help given through the staff here. It’s people like Dr. Victoria Perry, Mr. Patrick Mitchell, Mrs. Gloria Murphy and Christiane Sykes who made my experience much more fulfilling.

I love the friendly atmosphere in this college! Staff are nice and kind, everyone is eager to help. Tarted at the door during the orientation every staff member was smiling and welcoming, I felt the passion of the speakers, they didn't want the new students to go wondering about what they should do. I attending this college to complete some prerequisites for the graduate school, so I am not the regular type of students. But I can tell with confidence this college is an important pillar in the community! and they want to succeed, take the chance and enjoy the experience!

I have tried to reach someone by phone in Human Resources for several days. No messages returned. The automatic greeting message tell you to press the # key to speak with an operator. You never speak to an operator which I am sure is by design. It just keeps reporting the options which no one answers! You call any other professional business you are at least able to speak with an operator. This gives a harbinger of the type of administration you will have to deal with if they answer the phone or you show up in person. Had awful experiences in past attempting to get transcripts. If you want excellence do better.

I love Bishop State! I finished their nursing program YESTERDAY!!! It wasn’t easy. But it showed me that I had what it took to push through the hardest of days to accomplish what I set out to do! People underestimate Bishop State! You EARN your degree here, which is how it’s supposed to be. If you don’t show up and show that you have it, they won’t just hand you a degree. You have to prove that you have got what it takes. Bishop doesn’t produce slackers!

I would like the administration and students know that you have an All-Star team member in Gloria Murphy at the Southwest campus. She has excellent customer and multi tasking skills. She was the only person in the office and handled a multitude of request from many people where most would have been overwhelmed. She possesses a positive attitude and deep knowledge of the schools processes.

The department dealing with transcripts is very unprofessional and rude. I have been trying for four months to get three copies of my transcript. They sent one although I put 3 where it asked how many. I mailed in another request for two more. I never received them. I emailed the admissions department to see what happened. They responded back asking where to send it and I responded. However, I never received them. I then called and was told to do another request. I did another request in September. I just spoke with them only to tell me that they sent only one again on October 3rd. Her reason was because I only had one place listed to send and she didn't see why they would need two copies. So I then had to explain that it was going to the same place. Once received, the department would see to it that all three committee members got a copy. I shouldn't have had to explain that since on the request I asked for two. Furthermore more it's not for her to know why! What's the purpose of putting the number needed on the form if they only send the number they feel should be sent. No where on the transcript request does it ask why you need them. It just ask how many. I now have to send off another request for the third one. By the time I request another one and wait for it in the mail, it will be past the deadline at my job. I will have to wait until next year. This has been four months of nonsense.
