Tuition is affordable enough and the advisors are nice! The online registration/platform is very easy to navigate and find what you need. I’ve taken online and in person classes. The online experience was great and I would definitely do it again! In campus classes were great as well. Yamhill valley campus is nice, great areas to study and hang out and a nice little cafe area to eat. Downside to the yamhill campus is no gymnasium or athletics area. Small library/computer area and cafe could use more variety and options.
During my tenure at Chemeketa Community College, I was able to receive an outstanding education through this school. The professors of the campus are resilient in attempting to give the utmost, outstanding education to the attending students. Many students like myself, have come from low income households and struggle to pay for college and for there day to day personal lively hoods. The professors take all of these unfortunate circumstances into consideration and develop teaching methods to better help those students that may need more time and attention in learning due to the outside circumstances. The campus itself is beautiful. The name is symbolic in its meaning as a "gathering place". The campus feels as though it is a family with every individual striving to help one another in there studies and personal lives. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to start there career in an inviting environment with an amazing faculty and outstanding student body.
Teachers who wait weeks to grade assignments that are linked to current assignments. In other words take an HTML class for example. You build a webpage from the ground up with each assignment as a building block for the next. They don't grade the first assignment for weeks so if you make mistakes EVERY assignment going forward has mistakes. Great system.
Registration advising tells you not to bother teachers as they are busy with classes and sends you to Academic advising if you have a question. Academic advising can't help C.I.S. students and send you to teachers for things like Prereq overrides. Teachers explain that is what the other advisors are for. Everyone passes the buck until you make the problem loud and show you aren't going away.
ENTIRE classes taught using automated systems like TESTOUT, which is great however I am paying for more than something I can get online without Chemeketa as the middle man. Zero interaction with the teacher... why am I paying more?
