Central Maine Community College

If I could give this school zero stars I would. I went to this college when I was a teen and it was great. I guess my parents are the ones that dealt with all their crap. I decided to go back as an adult, completely remote, because I work. My major was medical coding and electronic health records. I had to take bio classes, normal, I know, but do I really need to know the ins and out of cellular mitosis and cellular respiration? Anyway, I should have run for the hills when they couldn't even sign me up for classes and give me info on financial aid until the three days leading up to the start of the semester. Then they told me they did not want to go into the paper records to check my transcripts from high school. So my high school did it for them and sent them again. My classes started and one of my classes was titled medical coding, but was all about financial stability while in college and was all you tube videos from local colleges. Quality education right there. My bio class was all you tube videos geared towards high school students from Covid times, and the lectures were all done by the TA from a few years ago. I only heard from my teacher when I emailed her to tell her that her labs were wrong. One of my other classes was so poorly set up that the dates were all wrong and the teacher would not change them. I finished the semester and was moving on. I tried to get a hold of the financial aid department for question for three weeks, no answers. I finally emailed my advisor, again in the days leading up to the start of the semester. I also asked her why I was missing a class. Her response was that I got a C- in my Bio lab class and did not pass. A C- minus is passing. Even the dean of the school said it was, but not in this particular class. Never one was it communicated to me that I needed a C or better to pass. Yes, I talked to the Dean of academics, all the good it did. He decided to stand with his teachers that don't teach their own classes. I commend him for his loyalty to his teachers, just not the students who actually pay their salaries. I was told I have no recourse except to retake the bio lab class. No one could explain to me the financial package that was offered either. They wanted me to take out a 9500 dollar loan for two semesters. Even when I screenshot the page and sent it to the dean he kept saying I was misreading it and that would be for 2-3 years of school. Mine was only a 2 year program. I maintain that I passed and should not have to retake the class. Do not go to this school, it is not worth your time or frustration. Do not even get me started on the platform they use for classes. There is obviously more to the story but this is as short as I can make it. Thanks for reading.

Madeline in the advisors/Registration office was super welcoming and knowledgeable. She could answer every single one of my questions I had; which there were a lot! She let me know my exact credit count that I am still able to apply towards my degree, and she let me ramble on. She was super reassuring and encouraging when I called to re-enroll, thank you again Madeline!

This review is targeted at the testing center. I would STRONGLY advise against taking any tests at this center, as my experience was extremely negative. The test was started without my consent or presence and had timed out by the time I had sit down to take the test. This is not Pearson Vue's fault, but took absolutely no accountability after being on the phone for 2 hours, and speaking to 6 different people. I will never be back to this testing center and will be filing an official complaint against the organizations testing center.

Went for the Class B trucking class. I explained from day 1 that I was an ex Marijuana smoker from the start and was truthful since the 1st email. I was told they can still work with me to get my license. Spent 3 weekends in class, passed my permit test. I spoke with the instructor about the dot test he told me not to worry that he didn't care how long it took for me to be able to pass a drug test and to take over the counter drug tests and to call him when I could pass. I done as he instructed and when I was able to pass a DT I reached out and was told the class had ended and to contact his boss. I reached out to her immediately and now after numerous back and fourth emails, waiting for responses I was told the class has ended. At first before starting class I even requested a later class so I had time to pass a DT I was told we are not holding spots. I was refused any information about the class or the processes and was told to fill out paperwork. I filled out the paperwork and rushed into a class on May 17th with no time to be able to pass a DT. Here I am Aug 12 with no class B license only a permit and an email refusing my 30 hours of drive time. Granted this was a free class offered at CMCC. Now I have to come up with $4500. for someone else to do drive time with. The instructors were great I did learn alot but it's a shame the school wouldn't let me complete the hours after I done everything I was told to do. They got the funding from the grants or wherever they received it from and I got no license all for doing what they told me to do. I even reached out to the president of CMCC's office and still no reply.

i’m going to attending CMCC next fall & i toured this summer, this is such a BEAUTIFUL campus with a small university feel in a small town. coming for the south seeing a community college with on campus housing is amazing, i have heard great about smcc and i ended hating it so im so glad i found CMCC. auburn is such a cute small town with nice restaurants. super exited to start school here!!!

My son loves his courses hes taking here.

I went there to take a test. Nice campus and the test facility was efficient.

Beautiful campus. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Clean.

A wonderful college. Small class sizes so it really allows the professors to care and work for every student. Admissions are wonderful and the dorms are very nice and bigger than the average dorm room. The student experience is truly great here.

They don't care about the student actually being educated. All they care about is pushing the covid vaccine. My son applied, was accepted and his enrollment was pending the covid Vax. He got it, submitted it and nobody ever contacted us again. It's been 2 months, not a single piece of correspondence. He's since applied at other schools in hopes to find one that actually cares about the student attending and being educated. Less then 1 star if I could.
