San Jacinto College

This is by far the worst community college in the Houston area. After 4 years of not being in school, I decided to return to college and chose this campus due to it being located close to me. I knew upon return to college, I would have to appeal for Financial Aid. I spoke with a Financial Aid Advisor who told me that I would be restricted to only 6 credit hours for the Fall 2015 semester. I denied the financial aid and decided to pay out of pocket, fast forward to the end of the Fall 2015 semester and the discussion with the Financial Aid Advisor takes place again. This time I’ve passed the courses I was originally required to take for remedial purposes with A’s. They story now changes as to why I’m having to appeal is because I dropped a course and received a «W» in it. I explained that I transferred in with credit in that particular course and was only taking it for a better grade, but then decided against it. After this the story then changed over to my pass rate not being high enough, I asked as to why this was, and was told about my attempted hours and passed hours not matching. Apparently this college calculates all remedial courses into the GPA, which then drops my pass rate. Avoid this college at all cost if you just want to get in and get out with your credits. This college is desperate for money and takes it out on the students.

I dropped my classes the day after the classes began, so they state they will keep 30% of the money I already paid, I was not in agreement with that since I only attended one day of class, but I said fine. 30% of $ 600.75; then the story changed 4 times, to we will take it out of the money you already paid, then pay us first or we will charge you another late fee, then to the refund card is in the mail, to the latest one is San Jac owes me no money and I need to pay them $ 138.00. I have spoken to the Dr. Rosario, and Deanna Clark, and a Mary, Jan a lady named Joe Hegebrecht and a blond hair pregnant woman and they all told me a different story. Now I dropped the class August 27, 2013 when I asked for the charges to be reversed and placed back on my credit card, San Jac Business Office told me they issue refund with some sort of credit card that they mail to the student, so I was told I would received this card by September 26, 2013 what a lie a big fat lie… to date I have not gotten my money back and I discovered that money was refunded and issued September 19. Is San Jac that hard up that they really need an unemployed persons $ 600.75?
This is the worst Community College I have ever experienced! The Business Office is designed to extort students with delays and tricks in refunding money that they received and when the Business Office does not want to assist you the send you to Enrollment Services, and when Enrollment Services does not feel the need to assist… you guessed it they send you to the Business Office and they both play a game with sending you back and forth.
I can say I would not recommend this high school semantic s to anyone! They didn’t deserve the one star. If I knew how to take it off they would get no star!
If you want to attend a college that is organized and helpful, DO NOT ATTEND SAN JACINTO COLLEGE not a place for persons that are serious about receiving an education without financial issues.
