I did not take the name from the staff member, but I was baffled when it seemed that I was being…read morediscouraged from even trying to look into the RN program. The staff mentioned it was very difficult and competitive. And maybe it is but it is not their job to discourage or feel anyone discriminated. Not sure if my age or I hate to even say that status also was part of it. A more professional way to handle it would have been just to say "talking to a counselor would give you a better understanding of what fits better for you". Unfortunately this is the second bad experience I have at AVC I can now see why people I know decide to go to COC or moopark

Let me start by saying the campus is very nice and clean! The admissions and financial aid staff,…read moreon the other hand, is pretty much useless. They are decently friendly, but it seems like no one at the desk is ever authorized to actually do anything aside from taking your info down and saying they'll reach out to you (no one ever reaches out, by the way, shocker). I've visited over 8-10 times in the last 5 months, and the "higher-ups" are always out of the office or in meetings--every single time. I applied in August 2025 and it took 2 weeks and 3 visits just for them to even find my application because it supposedly got "filed into spam." Most CCs take 48 hours MAX. Because of that "spam incident," my financial aid was severely delayed. Even though I'm a California native, they flagged me as a non-resident and said they needed my official high school transcripts to prove it. Contacting LAUSD for transcripts is a nightmare and takes 3-4 months, but the admissions supervisor gave me a verbal green light to take my Fall classes anyway. She promised they would backdate the waiver and clear the non-resident tuition once the transcripts arrived. I finally brought my transcripts in today, and now they're saying it's 50/50 if the dean will even honor that since the Fall semester is already over. To make it worse, the dean has been out for the last 2 days and they had no idea when she'd even be back. They refused to even schedule an in person appointment with her for me. I even offered to set it for this Friday or even weeks out and told them they could just call to cancel if she wasn't in, and they still said no. If someone is going to be out indefinitely, they need to bring in someone else to fill in and handle their responsibilities! I understand things and emergencies happen, but there is still business to be handled. Now they're saying they can guarantee Spring will be cleared, but I can't enroll in any classes until the $500 Fall balance is paid. What sense does that make?? Had I known this would happen, I never would've enrolled for Fall, but I trusted the supervisor's word. I'm beyond disappointed. The staff is friendly, but they need a new chain of command if the bosses are always gone. It shouldn't be this hard to better my future. I'm now pursuing enrollment at another college because I can't deal with this faulty system anymore. Advice to future students: save yourself the headache and explore other schools if you can. If you do happen to end up here DO NOT take verbal promises here. Get everything time-stamped and in writing or you'll end up stuck with a bill you weren't expecting.

Lancaster, CA I am…read moreinterested in a certain class that when I search for schools that offers them. This is the nearest one to me. I walked in to inquire. They have a decent waiting area and a receptionist who doesn't have any idea regarding the class I am interested in. He called an admission employee to give me more details. The admission employee - John explained to me the process, requirements, and fees. Classes doesn't start until next February so he mentioned that I need to call him mid January to confirm the class schedule. *located in a strip plaza. They are occupying a lot of units as classrooms. *plenty of parking and it is free. *unit 122 is where the registrar is.

She is not engaging but, rather more demeaning. Her lack of patience and professionalism is obvious. Some professional development classes would benefit her a lot! Now... the second negative feedback, quality of education is not there! In the ADN program, we are pretty much self teaching. Our instructors are not helpful and take pride in belittling students. They enjoy throwing their title around, as if that should motivate us! Dr. D (Peds) is hands down, the most egotistical individual there. He (she) I will address him as the biological person he is. He refuses to truly help students who struggle, then why teach?!This instructor engages in speaking negatively of staff in front of students, creating a toxic learning environment. The DON has been told this but, she doesn't care as long as her numbers are there. This program is new, and it shows! Please research other nursing programs with a reputable school, and instructors who know how to actually instruct! I'm stuck here because of the loan, I stupidly took out!!!
