Troy works in enrollment, when I called after returning back to school 11 years after last being enrolled and having you discontinue because my sons father fell ill to terminal cancer I reached my top enrollment because they had been leaving messages to call on my voicemail. I had enrolled and did my placement exam and had my official transcripts sent. Troy told me he didn’t know why they call me and he didn’t have any answers and there was nothing he could tell me. I have voicemails I had explain asking me to call back this number. I ask him his name he said Troy I explained that I had an email where they also said they didn’t have my transcripts. When I ask for his agent ID he refused and told me he would be disconnecting the call. My concern is as a woman that is middle age returning to school while I have to college students one at U of L and one at WKU , being treated so poorly in Louisville Ky where us wanting our youth to have quality resources is very much of concern. It is not free to attend college and no one should be telling you they will disconnect a call because they don’t care to find the information needed and you are in need of getting enrolled. Troy told me he would be disconnecting the call and told me to call student services. When I called enrollment just now the woman that help me Help me to access my path, well at least tried, she ask me for information pertaining to my application and she not only gave me student services number which prior with Troy I had to go search through my email she also offer to transfer me to student services. It would be good for Troy to take some culture diversity classes and understand that how he treats new and returning students can be the determining factor whether a person gives up or says forget school all together. His dismissive approach and no resources or redirection to someone that could help me is and was very discouraging. I would say our community deserves better and Troy whether a veteran at deterring people or a veteran at turning people away should be held accountable and taught how to resolve conflicts or circumstances that he isn’t familiar with. Troy had no answers nor was he interested in obtaining any. I don’t know if it was the end of a work day bc I work out of state and am on central time or if it was the attitude of having to explain and go a loyalty beyond the call of duty to offer me the same respect and dignity the other specialist offered me. But in our community that we are losing many to senseless gun violence and drug overdoses as well as poverty and lack of education I would hope that someone his position would be more fluid and concern of the lasting impact he has on those that are depending on him to help find the answers sought and make it is duty to help Louisvillians to return to school or be enrolled timely.

Having two girls go thru the nursing program and hearing how difficult the teaching staff is for working people, nonflexibility for personal emergencies, and a lack of communication between class teaching facilitators I am concerned that this school is not putting student needs first. As this is a paid for educational service that often leaves these kids in debt it would seem that their customer service is very lacking. Some of the issues that I am hearing students are dealing with fail to consider these students are human beings and not just a name on a roster. As an educator I expect better from a high learning institute and am seriously concerned about the quality of learning that is being given.

I am a new student and enjoy my class at Jefferson. Parking is easily accessible in a student parking lot. You need to purchase a pass in the building across from McDonald’s. Don’t bother with on street parking, as some meters do not work.Teacher is very nice and knowledgeable. I enjoy Jefferson Collage.

Piss poor of a tech school. Drop class and still have a charge that they don't tell you about. Try to set up payment arrangement but bill have to be paid in full before you can get a copy of transcript. So they stop you from succeeding at a REAL University by giving you your transcript. I was told no other guve you a transcript unless they are paid. Wrong answer....I have my transcript and bill is NOT paid in full from University. So rep needs to have correct informatiin before saying wrong answer. Call over phone get one answer then when you go there to that school you get different answer.

Just graduated with my RN degree from JCC so now i can give an honest review of the program. #1 Financial Aid is a joke, you’re going to battle for your loans, Pell grants or anything else every semester. The RN program is broke into 4 semesters and you will have good and bad teachers depending on your needs but I am honestly here to tell you 4th semester they do not care about helping and do little to help you with your nclex. I have seen students who were facing court for jury duty, cancer scares, flu and other issues and the program was basically deal with it or go away. I even had a teacher make religious and political agendas in class to our group, even going as far as making anti sexual orientation comments. When I reported it no one said a word to me or seemed to care. Your not allowed to give your opinion on any social media or they threaten to kick you out and you have to sign a contract acknowledging this. This program has serious issues with long standing teachers who have been there for some time and walk to the path of their own beat in a bad way. Look at any other option you before going this way. Its poorly managed and run and not welcoming to diversity.

Do not go here, I have had nothing but issues with this school since I transferred to finish my gen eds before I head back to Uni. I am in the middle of a transfer process and it has been nothing but a nightmare. Everything is a joke, I have had anfew great professors here but the rest were not good at all. Save your time and money.

Good morning, I waited for 30 minutes for someone to pick up the phone and I was finally greeted by a woman named Kelly. She never answered in a pleasant voice, definitely wasn't happy about having the privilege of working in an office environment setting. Please, keep your negative attitude at home at all times. And when I asked her if, the school's location (109 Broadway) offered phlebotomy classes, she kept saying "what, what, what?" I just hung up the phone. I never wanted to give this review a 1 star, I couldn't post without it. Thank you and have a Happy New Year .

Teaching staff has been great, but the office staff creates new problems & hurdles every semester. They took my money, then tell me they have no record of the charge and I have to dispute it with my bank.
