    Jasmine D.

    Read This Before Enrolling I don't usually write reviews, but I feel like I need to share my experience so others know what they might be dealing with. From June through August of 2025, I made multiple attempts to get help and clear answers about my situation at Glendale Career College. I reached out several times to Dr. Siao and Emily Gonzales through both email and phone calls, just trying to understand what steps I needed to take to move forward. This wasn't just one or two messages -- I followed up repeatedly over several months. I tried to schedule meetings, asked for guidance, and called multiple times. Every time I called, I was told she was either in a meeting or unavailable, and despite repeated attempts, I was never able to connect with her directly. Meanwhile, I was left not knowing what was going on or what I was supposed to do next. The most frustrating part is that I actually did what was asked of me. Emily Gonzales specifically told me to reach out to her regarding re-enrollment, which I did. On August 23, I sent a clear re-entry request (included in the screenshots). A few days later, I was told that I never submitted anything. That didn't make sense to me at all, because I have the email showing that I did. At one point, I was told they had already responded and were waiting for me to confirm an appointment. However, this did not align with my experience at all, as I had been consistently trying to reach them for weeks prior with no response. The appointment times that were eventually offered came after months of being unable to get clear communication, which is what caused the delay in the first place. This situation directly affected my ability to move forward with my education and ended up delaying me by approximately six months before I was able to continue into the next term. After everything escalated, the Director of Operations, Brooke, eventually reached out to me, apologized, and set up a meeting. At the time, I thought things were finally going to get handled. However, going into the next semester, I experienced similar issues again. There were multiple last-minute schedule changes, ongoing disorganization, and instances where classes were scheduled but no instructor was present for extended periods of time. In some cases, students were left waiting for hours without instruction, which made it difficult to maintain any consistent learning environment. When concerns were raised about these issues, the response often involved warnings about being dropped from the program rather than an effort to understand or resolve the situation. This was not just my experience -- multiple students in the class can account for the same issues. During a survey, there was also an emphasis on providing positive feedback rather than honest feedback, which felt discouraging considering the issues that were actively being experienced by students at the time. Students are taking on significant financial commitments for this program, which makes clear communication, organization, and accountability even more important. I made multiple attempts to resolve this privately before posting anything publicly. Situations like this should not happen when students are relying on clear guidance and communication. Timeline of events: * June 26: Initial email sent regarding my situation * July 17: Followed up and attempted to schedule a meeting * July 25: Additional follow-up after no response * August 4: Multiple calls and emails with no response * August 23: Sent formal re-entry request (attached) * August 26: Told I never submitted a re-entry request * August 29: Sent follow-up email summarizing all prior attempts and lack of response I've included screenshots showing the timeline of my communication attempts so you can review everything directly. If you're considering enrolling here, I would strongly recommend asking how they handle communication and student concerns, because in my experience, that was a major issue.
