My son just started here this week and we are totally in love with this campus. The people are very…read morefriendly, and students come from other college towns for the programs here; even if the other school is known for that particular program. I believe this speaks volumes. My son has been so busy with their free freshman events that he cannot even talk to us about important stuff... yes more important than Casino Night! LOL I had experience in the UT system on a personal basis (UTD), but alumni of one of their schools or not, this tops everything we had. UTD was a JR/SR University in my day, and so we were expected to have all this fun-thirst out of our systems. We still did not have half the fun or events he's having.

My daughter got a "D" on a online class and they could not explain how she arrived at that grade, she was locked out of the class at the end of the semeter and could not access the class to review what happened. Super frustating! My daughter will not return to this school, think twice before you a apply to this school! I wish I would have read the reviews before she applied to this hot mess there!

My step mom passed away January 19th, just before the semester started. I thought I could stay…read morefocused but I was struggling, even with work and life in general. Tried to get a tutor, they scheduled me with a girl who was tutoring for her first time. She couldn't answer anything on my homework right, this rendering me with no help to pass this class. So I drop the class to avoid taking an academic hit...decided to seek God and come back the next semester stronger. I even sent the school proof of my stepmoms passing. They confirmed. So when I returned to retake the class for the new semester, would you believe they are charging me double what the class is worth. In 2018 I reported fearing for my life because I was in a domestic violence situation. I told my psych teacher, he wanted nothing to do with it. He tried to send me to an office on the other side of the school and this man was circling the parking lots looking for me. When I took English here, I was able to prove their system wasn't receiving the assignment I sent, and they failed me out of that class because this issue occurred specifically on the final paper. That teacher ignored my emails and I lost my FAFSA support for the year. This school is by far the biggest let down I've ever heard of. May God have mercy on all your souls, and I hope you're never punished for mourning. I hope no one ever treats you all like you're treating me. And to the rest of you, go to school literally anywhere else.

They are scam artist posing as an junior college. They have hidden fees added in at every break…read more period. My daughter had scholarship money , VA money and Pell yet they still said she owed money. My husband went and paid the balance up for only a week later for her to be taken back after break to be told she needed to pay 500 more to get back into her room. She got another noticed 3 days ago saying she owes 1500 before she can return after spring break . There was still no breakdown of where her aid and VA money was applied. Also when we did the tour we were told that the meal plan was included in the dorm cost.In actuality, it is a additional charge that is forced on them.They don't have a choice to buy their own food. Today we got to my daughter's dorm a little later than check out due to having to stop to care for my asthmatic baby and traffic . We got her stuff out in less than an hour yet an RA rudely approached us stating that her account will be charged for late fees. They tell them if they stay during a break it's 25-50 / day despite the fact that they have already been charged tuition. She told us for less than an hour past check out it would be 600 .what kind of math is that?I told her why we were late get her she made a face as if she had zero concern . I guess she wouldn't care with the fact that she has occupied an RA position and 2 other campus jobs despite my daughter and others being told that there aren't jobs available . With Pell they are supposed to be offered work study jobs if they apply which she did and still hadn't got place yet this RA has 3 jobs make it make sense.Oh and the campus safety is a joke within the last 8mths they have had a shooting ,a lock down after a threat, as well as drug searches including findings of drugs in one of the rooms today.If you want to throw money away and not know where is going by all means go to TJC. I myself know there are Junior colleges and colleges with less cost that are cheaper and actually explained without hidden fees .Also my daughter had good grades and due to this was eligible to fast track yet grades with her and other including athletes don't matter. In fact, some athletes were told to give up time for academics in order to keep athletic scholarships. Like you are supposed to want students excelling in academics . On the other hand you can be failing and stay here with no worries as long as you are willing to pay all the random fees .So much for good grades and hard work paying off. Have money or parents who do. SO BACKWARDS,BY THE WAY, THIS IS A BRIEF PART OF THE ISSUES WE'VE EXPERIENCED .

I even danced professionally in New York. Carolyn Hanna refused to even meet with me in person after moving back to Tyler. I applied for a job as an adjunct professor, and as alumni was completely snubbed. Carolyn Hanna is incredibly rude, not only did she refuse to meet with me, but she also forbade me from applying to TJC in the future. I was incredibly polite, and there were no justifications for her actions. I have never met this women and do not intend to. Do not send your kids here! This program is a complete waste of money. They are rude and refuse to speak with former students. They provide no services in career development, nor do they care about their students!
