Albany Technical College

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. This institution is not interested in your success, only your money and enrollment. It's poorly managed, an over-reliance on policy without explanation, poor policy, sloppy problem-solving, and pure inattentiveness from administrative staff. NONE of the instructors look at the test they give you from the test bank they pull from and most have no idea what the curriculum even says (watch out for this in all core classes, its rampant). If you are attending for anything in the medical field they offer NO MEDICAL OR COMPUTATIONAL MATH courses. You just get to earn a credit in general college math and move on which will not help when taking the TEAS. Most everything on the website is not up to date and the IT/connectivity issues this school has is concerning.

This school has went down as far as customer service, they don’t answer the phone for you. They scheduled me to take the test and when I took off to take it at 1pm they told me late time was too late. They had me to take a number to be called but fail to mention that you had to sign in on a clip board to called to the back. The staff lazy won’t move or get off they cellphones to help you. They should wonder why people chose Albany State to attend.

I am giving this school a 1 star.. The only thing I loved about this whole experience was my instructor Mrs. Trina with the nail tech program.. Albany tech materials needs to be up to par, schools usually be about their students but this one is mainly about the money. I had to talk with someone in the registrar office on why I didn't receive My official graduation email and they had no freaking idea as to why I didn't receive it. My GPA is a 4.0 and I was told by someone in the registrar office on grad fest that I was considered for honor grad and was redirected to go to the business office to pay for a honor sash and I did just that, I picked up my cap and gown and received my sash from MS. Hawkins. Fast forward to the day before graduation a former student who was in my summer classmate asked me why I didn't come to the honor's day program well for 1 didn't receive not one email or call or nothing so I reaches out to the registrar office to speak with ms Hawkins on why I haven't received an email about the honor's day program, so I sent her an email and asked her about it, she responded that only students with degrees or diploma is eligible for honors. So when I responded back to her email she has not responded back to me and when I called to speak with the president no one will return my call. Pictures are included.. You say because I am in a certificate program I am ineligible for honors if that's the case why did you tell me I qualified and sent me to buy this sash I am wearing in my picture that I am including. Will I return to Albany tech for anything else? Absolutely not

This is the worst place to continue your education. First, if you believe anything these people say I feel really bad for you. The faculty takes forever to get your business handled. Don't come here if you need Special Services because those only kick in when you are failing as well. The bus is a loud, broke down, no A/C death trap that takes forever and is always having issues with time. You should have a full time job while you go here because you will spend all your money and need loans. The financial aid is screwed up and they blame the government not the fact that they purposefully mess your money up to make more from you taking out loans you will NEVER see when you need money for supplies. The events are so wasteful, throwing away food because no one wants to hang out at school. If you go here take online classes so you don't have to come on campus and deal with people and drama that in 24-7. A bunch or ignorant animals is the way some of these students behave and then the people who want and education have to struggle. They told me that if I can not find a job they would give me a free reeducation, they just make you take out loans and watch you fail because you don't get your loan money when you need your school supplies.

Great school and experience. The teachers in this institution greatly impacted my life and my way of thinking. Once I graduated some of my prior teachers help network me for some jobs but I ended up moving out of town and gain employment elsewhere. Your experience here varies greatly by the amount of work you put in to it.

They don't answer the phone. getting an email response back isn't even a sure thing. They changed the requirements for a class I was taking without telling me further causing a delay. When they asked me to come in person, it could have easily been an email. They waste so much of your time and you have to be on them to get things done.

Teachers hate when you ask questions, the Nursing Programs is unorganized and chaotic.The nursing teachers do little to help students who need help, no matter how many times students ask for help. Teachers get offended when you ask any type of questions or don't kiss up to them. The students are great and have good hearts but staff are stuck up and believe they are God's gift to earth. The dean(Ms. Buchannon) cares little about her job. If a student is sick and has doctor's note, this school will encourage the teacher to give that student zeros regardless of how sick they are. The Dean supports the corrupt teacher by backing their unjust decisions.

My experience was ok at the beginning until I reached my anatomy class and lab. The teacher is so strict people make mistakes and the test will mess up. But she will not reset it if you get cut off. This is not no way to help people gain success. Thinking about attending another college. The lab teach is worse old retired bad accent and can't understand anything he says. I don't know how anyone can pass at this college.

I strongly feel that the admin staff at this school do not give any regard for their students. When taking an online class, I was randomly withdrawn for the class right before the final, after completing all the coursework and of course paying for the class itself. There was no communication given to me of why this happened, or any apologies. In fact, I was unable to complete the class as I could not write the final if not registered. I understand that mistakes happen but this is completely unacceptable. The mistake could have been remedied by a follow-up on the college's end, and communication should have entailed as soon as the error occurred. The incident has lead me to feel Albany Technical college gives no regard for student's personal success, well-being or degree completion. If the school would like to follow up on this issue, I am happy to discuss ways to amend the situation, although it is little too late at this point. My only advice to new students is to consider a different school that this kind of error would not occur at.

I had great experience and not so great experience. Teachers lied alot. Some can't help you others try to help you but have people in higher power commanding them not to help. Its all about getting your money here and not your success. You have to completely show out in order to be heared or to get the ball running on anything. If not they hump shoulder and walk around snobby like do it your self....Teachers and staff.

The school has changed a lot over the years, and it has been for the better. The administration and teachers will do whatever they can to hold your hand and walk you through two years of college. Go Titans!

well I graduated from there it was a good decent school I loved the teachers also I made awesome new friends... my experience was tremendous...

Very nice and clean, well organized campus. I would say a great school to further your learning goals.
