Tennessee College of Applied Technology - Athens

All front offices are difficult to get a hold of. No communication. First day we are ambushed with buying our books, mine was $840. I was told I would be marked absent if I didn't purchase. Now I'm taking a pre test on making sure I use proper pronouns for trans people instead of spending time in the class i signed up/paid for.

The admissions team here should be replaced. I stopped in and had a couple questions and they acted as if I was a bother. I then applied and completed fasfa and everything a month out. Called to check next step and was rushed off the phone. Then never received a call or email or anything. Either you want students and my business or you dont. I think they made it clear.

Facility is clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The break room vending could be a bit more replenished and coffee making machines would be appreciated. Front office staff was a bit disorganized.

Cheryl in the office is very hateful I ask a question regarding my enrollment and she tells me to talk to the same person that hasnt helped and I try to explain she cuts me off and tells me not to tell her how to do her job. VERY unprofessional because someone isnt doing there job Ive been told I was cleared five times literally and when I call and check this is the response I get or similar

Very disorganized in the office Ive been told twice I had everything done and I would be called in the next couple day TWICE. Both times Ive called and theyve responded like they have no idea what Im talking about. Im not in there system. They send me to the person thats supposed to be able to help and no answer and no return to my voicemails Ive called her office 4 times now throughout the week trying to give them time to call back, but to my surprise nothing. I guess Ill call back Monday and beg for help some more.
