Im coming back to school after being out for a while, and was expecting a great experience but it has not turned out that way so far. I was dropped from a class for no reason. I paid on time, and I did the assignments asked of me on time. I put in a re-instatement form got approved and guess what my class still was not there! I was told it was a glitch, but even after I was supposedly back in the class I still cant see anything! Its been almost a week, and I am falling behind on assignments because of an error that should already be fixed. I feel like my money is literally being stolen right now, and nothing has been done about it.

My issue is the unprofessionalism of some of the instructors. I am in my late 30s and they will speak to me as if I'm a child. Even when reported, nothing is done about it. I am truly disgusted by it and if they treat me this way, just imagine how they treat high schoolers in dual enrollment and recent high-school graduates. The difference is WE are PAYING the instructors to educate US. Instructors are NOT our bosses. Instructors should be REPRIMANDED. Those who we report our issues to that do nothing should be REPRIMANDED. I increased my course load to graduate sooner so I can stop dealing with JSCC employees sooner. I take classes online and in-person. The online classes are the worst. Instructors get on students about sending unprofessional emails and they will literally use all caps and exclamation points in emails, which is technically yelling and should not be used in emails (something you learn in middle school). I can't put too many specifics because some issues are personal and this is my last semester. I'm avoiding being reprimanded for talking against the school. If you plan on or are attending JSCC, do NOT let staff intimidate you. You are NOT a child (even if you are, do not allow them to). YOU are paying the school. Even if you get grants/financial aid, YOU are giving them YOUR money. Not the other way around. YOU are putting money in their pockets. YOU have a voice. YOU are paying for your education. YOU are paying instructors that basically WORK FOR YOU, they're just hired by the school. If you're having issues with any staff members, keep documentation (keep emails or document day, time, and statement of what occurred). You have great staff members but the disrespect of some of the instructors, overshadows the greatness of some because of how badly they treat you. Please write reviews (the good, bad and ugly) on the school. Good luck on your education and I wish you all the best on your journey.
