Columbus Technical College

Great school and they have some of the best teachers/leaders . Two of my favorites Ms.Palmer and V. Richardson

What type of College isn't excited or helpful for a potential new student. My daughter walked in there to get a few questions answered and all that she was greeted with was continuous eye rolls, huffs and nasty attitudes. Great school.... NOT If anyone is curious I definitely would not choose this backwoods learning center for further education. #notacollege

Since nobody’s saying it, that white lady is racist. I believe she’s ahead of most of the other staff, if not all of them. She kicked me out over something I did not do. Me and my ex boyfriend had an altercation because I got tired of all of the emotional abuse, and somehow she’d seen me “strangle him” or “choke him.” during the argument outside. Yes, I could’ve had better self control over raising my voice outside, but seriously? She made slick shots toward my cornrows in the bathroom as well. Also, the teacher with no hair said something very inappropriate in front of the whole class to my ex. Something along the lines of “You can do better in a different relationship, how about her?” and proceeded to point to another female in the class as a “joke.” Which wasn’t so funny to me.

I decided to withdraw from classes today, because I enrolled July 8, 2019. There had been an error made in admissions were I had been given an student Id number that started with 999 which it was supposed to start off as 910 and what they did was give me another student number. So it was supposed to be corrected and something about them having to go in and completely remove the student number that started with 999. I ended up having two student Id numbers and so happen my financial aid was on the student id number that started with 999 that was supposed to be removed. They even had me go back and resubmit my financial aid. Now let me remind you this mistake was made last month on the 8th of July and even though I was told that my classes would be saved and that I wouldn’t be purged, I felt like if they hadn’t fixed the problem before the semester started it wasn’t going to be fixed. On top of all this my admission fee was waived, but I get a hold put on my account for admission waiver fee for some reason. I go to the advisement center and they was able to get it taken off. Then a week later the hold was placed back on my account. Today would’ve been my first day, but because off all this I didn’t want to attend classes blind not even knowing what financial aid would cover and what would be left after tuition and fees.

Upon returning I made sure I was good financially and academically. I spoke to both departments. I was told due to Withdrawals in the past 1990s I had a warning and had to pass . So I passed my classes with B's see I gave kids with chronic illnesses and had to stop school but I really wanted a college education. I did get degrees from other colleges but I wanted to attend CTC. Today I'm disappointed bc I had classes I couldn't go to bc apparently I'm on suspension all of a sudden...as of today but was told as long as I passed I was good so they gave me bad information. My younger daughter was with me and I had to leave ..wow Columbus tech .it isn't your fault I had some issues I was battling with having I'll kids but you could have given me accurate information. Still a great place but giving false hope,wrong information is NOT cool. But ill get where i need to be even if its not with your help. To all the moms or fathers who are taking care of your kids or family DONT GIVE UP

Yourmoney would be better spent on scratch tickets or being used as toilet paper. The teachers have a massive superiority complex and the financial aid employees will flat out LIE to you to keep you from getting aid. My own course director tried to trick me into staying another semester by not telling me about a course she forgot to list until the last day when I asked her about graduation requirements

This school is way too disorganized. When I applied I got no information. Luckily someone that attends there told me of orientation day or I wouldn't have known because I received nothing in the way of information about what I need to do after applying. My first semester was a bomb. When they state that a class is web enhanced it means that the entirety of the class is online you show up for class only for them to read what you have already read online. It is a waste of time and gas money. Also the midterm or the final is at home online. It is up to the teachers preference. The one thing that really ticks me off is that I did all this to get to my major and I can't get the class I need because it is full. They only have one teacher teaching that one class and now I have to wait a year, since the class is only taught in the fall, to "maybe" get a chance to get in the classes that I need so that I can complete my education. Why is there only one class/teacher when you know that major/certificate is in demand? You have more students that need to take it than spots. I am fed up! I am looking for other colleges to attend.

The nursing program is very unorganized. I would recommend anyone to go anywhere else. Save yourself the stress, there are so many more options in Georgia to get your associate’s degree. Please do not let them convince you of how great of a program it is because it is not. Only 2 instructors actually care about seeing you succeed, their names are Mrs. M. Smith and Mrs. B. Smith. The other instructors are very biased, judge mental, and do not do anything to help you succeed. It is almost like they do everything to make the program harder for you. I, myself, and several other students can testify all of the unprofessional and unfair treatment the staff has provided. I can provide additional details to anyone seeking to apply for the program. Feel free to reach out. Say NO to the ADN program

I'm beginning my last semester here in the cosmetology program, which I throughly enjoy by the way. The admissions office is the only issue I have at this place. They lost my transcript 2 different times, so I had to get them a new one and they lost that one as well. I had taken a computer class at a previous college, which was listed on my transcript, and was told several times that I wouldn't have to take COMP 1000. Here I am in my last semester and they decided all of a sudden that it didn't balance out and I do in fact have to take COMP 1000. Money wasted. All they want is money. I KNOW how to use a computer. Do not recommend.

They make wanting to better yourself impossible. I intended to transfer here because I needed some classes for my current job. The admissions office was less than helpful, and after I requested to be placed in the Health Sciences degree program, the admissions rep STILL put me in some certificate class I didn't even ask for. Yesterday I received an automated call telling me that I needed to log in and check my financial aid because if my balance wasn't paid by 8/10, my classes would be cancelled. Okay, cool, right? Wrong.. I logged in and didn't see an award summary, so I called the school for clarification and they sent me a text...? Who does that? So this morning I called to find out what was going on, and the lady told me that I needed 12 credits to qualify for 233.00 in FA.. my total was 942.00 NOT INCLUDING BOOKS... so I'm like okay, but I also qualify for federal loans... She said my EFC was high and I had been selected for verification. Cool.. I'll give you what you need... but she never told me what I needed.. told me to call FAFSA, to which I did, and they referred me back to the school. Now I'm frustrated because it seems this school is full of a bunch of unqualified personnel... I called back, got another lady... she told me that I needed 12 hours to get the FA. I'm already taking 7(3 classes), and they want me to add on 4 more classes.. 7 classes they want me to take... so then I asked, okay, and who is going to pay for the other classes? I told her the only way I can go to school is to use FAFSA. I told her I was qualified for the loans as well and she said "we don't participate in the federal loan program, so you'll have to go through a private lender".. ummmm. WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS? I would have not even APPLIED!!! This school is a JOKE. They don't care about students succeeding, they obviously only care about the money.. period.
