just now NEW I tried to apply here and they made it so hard. The first time I applied, it was spring of 2020 which was covid and my family was affected and I couldn't attend. They don't care. I tried again this summer and they barely respond and I had to go to the office twice because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They barely reply. So I went to evergreen state college which I love. Highly recommend that college. Pierce sent me an invoice of over $1,000.00! I really tried with this college. I work with children in a private school and I don't recommend this college to parents who want to send their kids because Pierce used to be really great but not anymore. Evergreen state college is way better and you actually learn stuff and the counselors reply so fast and the staff is just amazing. I want to educate children for our future and how can I do that if it's so hard to enter and they are so money hungry that they just don't care. I sent them a whole letter about how I almost lost my sister to COVID and they were like "sucks, pay up".

Giving it 1 star due to no communication from Financial Aid. Not sure what changed but I remember when students were awarded prior to the new quarter starting and that it didn't take this long. The Financial Aid office is very slow with awarding and disbursements. They rarely answer the phone or email. And at this point a week into the quarter and no sign of getting awarded anytime soon. It's frustrating because this has become a distraction from my learning and buying books.

this is for the gawd awful financial aid department. i loved the school and the time i spent there learning and getting a degree. but the garbage backwards financial aid office needs a clear overhaul and time to get new bodies in there that actually want to do there freakin job and do it right for once. in the 2 years and 3 months i spent there not once did my money arrive on time, well maybe once but I will only give them once. other then that ALWAYS LATE alway and i mean always late by month not weeks. they NEVER called me ever, but low and behold on the last check that i earned and am suppose to recieve they call me. the day before the check is suppose to be sent out they call me and want me to answer fcken questions. are you freakin serious it took you clowns 2 year and 3 months to call me to make sure if u am taking classes. did you garabe workers call me before that in the all that time? NOPE... i had to call i had to go to the office i had to get big wigs involved becuase they are and continue to act like the money is coming out of their personal pockets. Like come on were is my final check at? I met all the quilifications to recieve it but it has not been disbersed. the day before i can't believe it they call me to ask me if i enrolled for spring are you freakin kidding me you call me to ask me that but not once called to make sure i had classes or enrolled before that. not once but yet you want to act like you guys are actually doing our job. well the like the academy awards telling will he cant show up for 10 years is to little to late. how freakin dare you guys act like you've done nothing wrong and held my checks months on end? acting all surprised when i had to get the deans invovled. looks like i have to take that route once again seeing that you guys are holding my final check hostage. some of yall must have worked in one of those arem S1 shops or something because nothing gets done right. what is the reason for my checks being late ALL THE TIME? what are your reasons for making me wait months on end to recieve the money I QUILIFIED FOR? Where were the phone calls to make sure i was enrolled and to let me knwo my money is on the way. NONE I TELL YOU NOT ONE CALL, and don't get me started on how i gave and would give them the proper paperwork regarding my high school days and or any other thing to do with me as a student veteran. you guys with your revovling door of agents in your cubicles. the school awesome the Professors well some need to get there head out there a*s because they thing their degree is cart la blanc to treat others like if we were beneath them. I let them know what was up in the intro to classes. not all but some, and back to the horrid financial aid office. they need an overhaul and a new staff that is not complacent and actually is helping the student get there money on time instead of placing "i didn't know" or "we still are waiting on your high school blah freakin blah" even though i've brought you every thing you need to send me my freakin check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! make sure your on their a*s when it comes down to getting your financial aid because to them it is no inconvienence to have you wait and suffer. trying to get homework done with the looming bills rent what have you, hovering over you head waiting for a financial aid check that is sitting in limbo because the office can't do their job whta they got and get hired for. 2 y 3 m to get ahold of me to make sure i am going to school, you guys are hot sweaty garbage.

Not only does financial aid have the worst attitudes, response time, and false givings, but this school in general loves to ignore the absolute living h e l l out of its students. Not to mention invading privacy about your vaccine status and kicking you out unless you tell them your info. That didn't happen to me but it clearly states that you must give them your vaccine status for on campus classes by a certain date or else you will be kicked out of your classes. Wont be surprised if they catch a few law suits. I used to like this college and after my trying to return to educate and get a degree, they have made me decide to not attend, and have made themselves out to be A-holes. Good luck if you go here. I don't get how its one of the top schools if this is how i was treated!!!

Absolutely worst decision of my life. I was told I was behind 5 credits in order to receive my AA and was told 2 weeks before transferring into another college, meaning not much could be done at this point. Upset because not only was I informed extremely late but I communicated with my counselor each quarter and we picked classes to fulfill these requirements for the degree. Once I told her about my situation she then says "unfortunately you are short 5 credits. if I said you'll receive your AA I do apologize." Days after I called the welcome center and came across rude and unhelpful staff. This isn't the first time i've heard of students missing credits and this campus being extremely unhelpful. Go anywhere else if possible.

The Dental Hygiene program is the worst, most prejudice, unprofessional place ever! They fail over 1/2 their students & take pride in this. They openly joke about this. They openly make comments that they don't like young students. So absolutely Don't apply here if you are a young running start graduate. They will fail you. If you look at their photos their graduates are all white females. Do not apply here if you are not a white, blond female. Just do not apply here, especially if you are a male. They like to fail students right before boards even if you have been a top student. Just know that their passing rate is rubbish since they don't take into account that they kicked out 60% of their students before boards. The director actually tells everyone that she will step down the day everyone makes it. The director is awful and should have been fired years ago. We have Never seen such a horrible unprofessional program. We have also heard from multiple former students and staff how terrible this place is. They also make you find all your own patients. Many fail out of the program because they can't find their own patients and have no support in this toxic atmosphere. We highly recommend Seattle Central, they provide patients for you, are not prejudice or racist, and all their staff have been amazing! This years graduates at Seattle Central have ALL made it through their entire program & all passed their boards on the first try! How it should be. Stay away from Pierce College's Dental Hygiene program. It is the worst place ever! It is worth the drive to go to Seattle Central. Save yourself and tell everyone.

I used curbside pickup and it said it is ready. So I picked up today. The app is useless I think. I pressed I am on my way and I am outside. But no one shows up. :( If you have curbside pickup order, call them so they can quickly give you the book. It took about 20 minutes for me to get my book (first and second visit). I have to call them and give them notice that I am in the hurry. Also, I wasn't in the line but it took time for them. I think they should have just store pick up instead of curbside pickup. I give 2 stars because the lady is friendly.

Really wish I had read these reviews before I started here. This is my fourth college to attend and third as online while working full time and has been an absolute nightmare. The Homeland Security program sounded great but I have had nothing but problems and won't even be going back for a second quarter. They have no idea how to do online classes and professors can't even figure out how to put lessons on canvas. Then they don't hold their professors to a standard and make them accountable for their mistakes but will gladly give a student a 0 for an assignment because of their mistake. Two of my courses this quarter have had three weeks where the professor couldn't get the lesson online on time which is a huge issue for people with limited time and they didn't give additional time to complete the work. They also don't make their professors follow the syllabus and allow them to screw over the students as much as they want. If you are military don't waste your time going here. AMU is so much better and I will be returning there as they actually know what they are doing and functions much better for working adults.

This is probably my favorite college that I've attended. They offer a very supportive atmosphere and endless amount of resources to take advantage of. They have an awesome welcome center with with great resource team and tons of options for assistance with any aspect of the student learning process!
