Great community college with some outstanding instructors/professors who care! Website is organized…read moreand great for students who are online, attend classes on campus, or a combination of both.

My son was a student at Hillsborough Community College, Dale Mabry campus. I thought he made a…read moregood choice. Later, he decided to transfer to a different Florida University in October 2014. It is a non-traditional University, so they begin classes every month. Now my son did not do things according to protocol. Unknown to me, he did not withdraw from classes, and he accepted his Financial Aid refund from HCC. Not good at all, but he left HCC on a Saturday, and started class with the non-traditional University on that Monday. There was no down time in between ending at HCC and beginning with his new school and desired program. He felt good about his decision. I want to note that my son and I are not not from Florida, but rather Metro Atlanta area in Georgia. HCC will not release his Federal Aid. He HAD a balance at HCC which consisted of the refund check he accepted, and money towards paying for his classes from which he did not withdrawal when he left. I get that, he did everything wrong, and the Financial Aid must be returned. The balance owed to HCC was $3,468.00. In error, I paid $3,368.00 on April 30, 2015. Communication with people at HCC was on going to get this bill paid and my son's Financial Aid released. In his excitement to enter the program he truly wanted, he didn't know the consequences to follow. He was making decisions on his own, trying to be his own man. So, here I am for the clean up. I hold a receipt from HCC showing that $3,368.00 was paid with a balance of $100 on April 30, 2015. Likewise, the Financial Aid person at my son's new University knew the balance because they were trying to get the Federal Aid released from HCC on their end. It was my son's new University Financial Aid person who notified me that my son had the balance at HCC. All of this is occurring at the beginning of March 2015. So, Friday, May 29th, I go on line to pay the $100.00 balance. To my surprise there is now an additional balance of $1,030.00. The balance is itemized showing the $100.00 and next the $1030.00. The note to the side of the new balance is a code used within HCC - nothing I would understand. So, I pay the $100.00 balance, and figure I will call to gain understanding about the $1,030.00. I'm thinking its an error. So, Monday June 1, 2015 the call is made. HCC is telling me that on May 5th, they sent the balance of $100.00 to collections, and the collection agency can bill what they want. WHAT? So, If I am being billed by a collection agency, why is payment made directly to HCC? One female insisted I come Dale Mabry. I live in GA. No one can explain the additional $1,030.00. There are no extra fees or fines. I'm sorry, I missed that the only way to pay the account is through Hawknet/WebAdvisor. My son,18 years old, does not recall his user name or password. He should, but he doesn't. HCC would not accept the $3,368.00 via credit card over the phone. I understand fraud and risk. It's against HCC policy. At this point I'm frustrated. It took 3 weeks going back and forth between Student Services, the Bursar's Office, and the technology guy to get the user name and password. Again, this is March 2015 when we began the process. Late April 2015, we get the needed user name and password. On April 30, 2015, I paid 99% of the balance owed. I paid $3,368.00 which is my error. It's what I budgeted. I didn't have the other $100.00 until Friday, May 29, 2015. I get paid once a month (I am a school teacher & single parent). Without notice or reason there is now a balance of $1,030.00. This is robbery! A community college that tags on an erroneous fee. HCC Student Services has not answered my question, and actually does not seem to know what to say. They keep stating someone will call me in 24 to 48 hours. No one can explain the additional balance. How does any organization or company, tag on a fee of $1030.00. My son has not been at the school since October 2014. If the account was sent to collections, why is this additional balance paid directly to HCC? Foolishness! I requested the number to collections, none provided. I truly did have good thoughts about this institution. But now I see it as a crooked institution. Exploitation of those less assuming is the feeling. Some students who attend community colleges are there due to poor grades or low finances or both. To have someone pay a balance owed is a great thing. To sucker punch them and add an additional $1,030.00 is unacceptable. This is a crime. I'm sure it has been done to many others. If your intention is to attend and transfer be careful. My son was straight out of high school, 18 years old. He didn't know the protocol, and was trying to do something on his own. I came behind him to clean up his mess and pay his bill. HCC my perception went from high to YOU ARE CROOKS!!!!!

Well it finally happened. After -redacted- years with a spotless driving record I finally got my…read morefirst "speeding" ticket. Because I had a death in the family shortly after I got the ticket I ended up missing the deadline to request a court date. That meant that my only real option was to attend traffic school and pay the fine. The circumstances under which I got the ticket were more than a little suspect. To say that I was bitter about having to do all of this would be the understatement of the decade. There are tons of options for traffic school via online courses, but that was something I really did not want to do. Even though you can break up the four hour course into parts that did not make it appealing to me. With all the distractions at home and the less than thrilling subject matter I would drag out the course over a long time. I just wanted to take the "Band-Aid" approach by dealing with the pain of pulling it off in one session. This school is just a single room with some folding tables in the back of a strip mall. I woke up earlier than I ever would on a weekend to drive here and join other groggy looking unhappy people. They had free coffee and donuts to help with that. The way the traffic school works is that there are actually several different classes going on simultaneously. We had some 15-year-olds who were there for a new driver course. On the opposite end of the spectrum we had people that were there for a 12 hour driving course! If you're thinking that people who are taking a 12 hour driving course must have done something terrible you would be correct. It was equally fascinating and horrifying hearing about what they had done. Some of them were ticketed going well over 100 miles an hour (and that wasn't the only ticket they received recently). A good number of people were there for the four hour class that I took. A huge reason for my five star review is our instructor Georgie. She was simply wonderful. She had me cracking up before the class even began, which was no small task considering my foul mood. She knew that we did not want to be there and could have just read through her lesson plans without caring about that, but she really tried (and succeeded) in making the material interesting and added humor to it. I don't drink so a large portion of the class that was dedicated to alcohol did not apply to me, but she still kept my interest. I laughed several times during class. After a while the baby-faced new drivers left the classroom and then before I knew it my four hours was up and it was time for me to leave also. For a second I felt bad about the people that were still going to be there for eight more hours but then I remembered what they had done and that went away quickly. The only complaint I have is that the bathroom situation is super awkward. The bathroom is a tiny little room in the back corner of the classroom. Even though I was seated in the middle of the classroom I could still hear what was going on in that bathroom! I am very glad that I attended the school. I hope that I will never need their services again but if I do I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I had to take the 8 hour intermediate driver improvement course due to a speeding ticket. The woman…read moreinstructor was great. She let us tell our life experiences with driving and we all discussed how we could be better drivers. I had the wrong number on my certificate and sent Leonor an email who by the way was out of town and got it corrected and sent over to me ASAP so I wouldn't miss my deadline. I would recommend doing driving school here over online or anywhere else!!!!!!!
