GPTC's enrollment process was much more organized than most colleges I have applied to. There is another community college near us and The process had me sitting out of college for years months and semesters. Georgia Piedmont Technical College has improved there process tremendously. And once you are in enrolled you are a student with an ID and ready to go to class. After your first major College orientation. Now that I am a GPTC student have joined 3 clubs my first semester, and I actually have completed my first college semester! And as a adult- non- traditional, I feel like I can really finish college after all these years.
As an adult student I will work with my school to offer my advise for all classifications of students in there enrollment and retention process at school.

Now I will give this portion of my survey a middle of the road rating, simply because I am "ole' school" a more traditional learner. Having this type of educational gap is a reall eye opener for the following: Web based, web- enhanced still comes off as online. What ever happened to teaching formulas from each college professor. I felt so hurried along in most if not all my classes my first semester. Oh, I kept up but there wasn't any room for any real Q&A's my instructors are like coaches or proctors, the facilitated our class all but my learning support instructor took little time to lecture. All of our software (our lecture) was our teachers but if you had a question, comment, or concern at that moment you can't ask a question. I personally do not like online learning its to uninvolved. It's best description is its like Facebook for college. I want that to change.
My overall experience has been great. My most significant achievement is being appointed as parliamentarian 2014-2015 for SGA as well as being appointed Chief of Staff this year. What makes my school unique is the fact that the professors have a sincere concern for their students and they do all that they can do to help them reach their goals. Lastly, because of my financial situation right now their is no other college that I could have chosen. I would probably chose GPTC all over again.
