I have had nearly zero contact with anyone from the school. I am taking classes virtually, but I have never spoken with a course advisor or anyone from the college and degree program unless I initiated it. I enrolled 1+ yrs ago and was only told in Jan '23 that a set of transcripts was never received when I tried to register for Spring classes. The only reason I learned of it was that I was reaching out to register. This school and/or program does not care about online students and only has these programs... Read More
Online students can't be confident of degree completion because UCCS is abandoning nontraditional students to build up the traditional student body. Online classes are full or cancelled at semester start. No idea if I'll still be a student semester to semester, since not clear if I'll get into any courses, so will have to transfer to another college and complete a new set of prerequisites. If uncertain of an ability to complete a full degree program in person, don't choose UCCS!
