This college is a Nightmare. All across DCCCD, there are problems and constant issues. Financial Aid comes very late, so make sure your bills are paid up. The classes aren't that bad, once you get in them. Non-typical college students have a very uphill battle with this school. They' cheap, and it shows. The problems at DCCCD start at the top

The Dallas College Online Lecroy Center is awful. The staff is rude and uncaring as well as slow to get things done. They could care less about the students and more about having an easy day. I went to see an adviser for help planning my classes and he was rude as could be and was no help. Don't try to call because they do not pick up the phone.
