Coconino Community College

I recommend going here a year from now to see if they've fixed these issues, but please don't go here. I've experienced so many technical issues at this school, it's frustrating. The buttons on the homepage for contact information for different departments don't work, when you click them, nothing happens so you have to ask Google for their contact information instead of going to those web pages. I also submitted a change of major form several weeks ago and it wasn't ever processed even though I had e-mail confirmation saying that it was submitted. That directly impacts my educational benefits for the school so that was very frusturating. Not only that, but I sent a document to Admissions through their document submission portal that apparently disapeared because they couldn't find it even though I have previous e-mail confirmstion from them stating that they recieved it. So I had to email the document again and I've tried to e-mail that document 3 times to a specific person through my school e-mail and she hasn't received it. It's one thing if I have one technical issue and I can just go to IT for help but it's a bigger issue when I have to deal with multiple technical issues on the website. It just feels like gross negligence on the school's part when they should be making sure that their website and systems work properly. It's taxing to try to get things done at this school when I face multiple roadblocks that shouldn't be there in the first place.

!!!ATTENTION: All students considering enrolling in classes at CCC!!! This is a PSA from a current student: The campus is currently experiencing misdirection from upper leadership which is impacting degree-seeking students. I walked into this disaster like many other students and am still seeking resolution and financial compensation, of which CCC is offering none. Myself and other students have fallen victim to misadvising by the CCC advising team (including CCC2NAU and nursing focus). I was misadvised over the last two semesters, resulting in not fulfilling my AGEC (gen ed) requirements for NAU. This is following three detailed advising sessions over two years specializing in transfer to NAU. I am no longer able to apply for nursing school after 2+ years of dedicated work and a 4.0 GPA. I am not the only one; this was not a random mistake. My roommate also pulled out of CCC one month ago following three semesters of misadvising. My professor informed me that three other students of hers have also come to her with the same problem and terrifying reality of losing their degree-track, financial aid, placement in a specialty, etc. All of which, I have addressed with two school deans, explaining the impact of what this has done to me and many others. The school, advising team, and deans have offered no compensation, no credit to take the correct class(es), no apology, NOTHING. Their solution is to take more classes with them! Specifically, for me to take summer classes (even though I had thoroughly described numerous times that I work three jobs in summer to pay for my CCC bill. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Take online classes with the Maricopa Community College system if you need to be in the area and enroll in community college. Otherwise, NAU is currently offering FREE tuition to new and transfer students. Google that for more info and avoid losing your money, time, degree, and trust in the college system at CCC.

The pros are that the staff are generally very helpful and friendly. Parking is good. The professors are very hit or miss. One of my instructors this semester was a good guy and kept the material interesting. The other instructor was terrible, I don't think he should be teaching at all and he had a sour attitude. The two campus are kind of far apart and the main campus doesn't have a library so that is somewhat inconvenient. But they both seem to have good bus access.

People here don't like to answer the phones during business hours. You aren't allowed to have a residents tuition unless you've been here for a year, even if you have a state ID, proof of residency, and a job here. If the MVD considers me a resident, then I'm a resident. The advisors seem like they aren't even trained in advising. I was hoping to get a tour, an introduction to the campus/programs, and options of the different degrees. But nope, my advisor barely knew what to say to me or how to help, they didn't show me around, and my session that was supposed to be an hour turned into a 20-minute appointment. They didnt even give me any new or elaborated info that wasn't already on the website. That's just sad and doesn't make me feel confident in this schools abilities to take on new students. Why would I pay for something when the service has already been poor before I've even begun.

Came down for the first time. Such a beautiful campus, I got talk to GCU reps who were wonderful and encouraging, met with a man from Georgia in the gift shop who has phenomenal service skills, had a great time other than meeting with someone named Alimah at the financial aid desk. She was very sour, had a poor attitude and was not helpful nor looked pleased to be working at the front desk. I would’ve given a much better rating but her attitude really doesn’t need to be in a wonderful place like this. I hope someone can speak with her, because I’d hate to have to come in and gain information from someone who doesn’t appreciate nor show gratitude towards their position and community.

This school is the best one I have ever been to. It may be small, but here, you are a person, not a number, or a warm body that they need to help before they can collect your tuition check. The staff here actually cares - each and every one. The campus is beautiful, and parking is not that bad. the the class sizes are so small, my largest class in my 3 semesters here was 15 people. I only have one down-side. this little gem of a college sits at the top of a beautiful, but large and steep hill, so if you plan on riding your bike here, lol, expect to be in the best shape of your life. ha ha!! but yeah, great place. I would recommend it to anybody.

It is such a great experience attending CCC I absolutely love the faculty and students it is a very warm and inviting place to learn and grow as a community
