Adventist Health Center is conducting a Vaccine center at The Glendale Community College in the parking structure at the top of the hill right off of the 2 Fwy Off the Mountain exit. The staff are very helpful. There is very clear and strict mandates on masks and health protocols. Please follow signage and bring your masks. You will need your ID for check in.The nurses are very helpful and many of them have worked in the ER with patients and have seen the effects of the pandemic. So most of them are very happy to administer the vaccine and help prevent the spread of this terrible disease.We are all so happy to share the change in the world and grow together. There is Hope and these are the people that are here to spread that hope.3πŸ‘πŸΌβ€™s out of 3πŸ‘πŸΌβ€™s the staff and Nurses are very helpful and thoughtful.

My main complain would be the administration office and the problem is that the staff dont do nothing. Ive been there many times (also waited the long line) to just solve a simple thing and I had to come back for the same issue multiple time because the staff dont bother process it. Its like you have to push them and help them in order for them to help you.

None of the counselors or staff are well informed, a simple task takes hours to do, it’s difficult to find information you need, and worst of all, not enough parking spaces are available.

I enrolled in Health 101 in 2013 with an intended Business major. While living the college life Geography became my declared major, and became a student worker. I graduated in 2016, and got accepted to CSULB, CSH, CSUN, CSULA, San Diego State, Cal Poly Pamona, UCLA, and UCSC. I also recieved a $100 scholarship from AGS Honor Society.Thank you Glendale Community College and everyone from Glendale!

I came to this school many years ago and I have regret it ever since. The admins are not that helpful. Transcripts here cost double the amount of other california community colleges and their electronic Transcripts requests doesnt have e-signature... all that money and they cant even do that! Back then when I was going to deploy for military reasons, they couldnt drop my classes and wipe it from my transcripts... they are not military friendly!!! I wish I can just expunge my history of ever attending this school because it has given me nothing but trouble. the one star is for the california college experience not the school.

I went to GCC at 2015 As a international student, transfered to Cal poly pomona at 2019. For some reason I was under enrollment for 12unit at CPP. I ask the ISO for help. They took me in for concurrent enrollment in the middle of the semester. The entire process only took about a week. And all the stuff was helpful and friendly as always. Amazing experience than And now.

I love this school. I have been able to find some really helpful and dedicated staff member who have made every part of going back to school wonderful. As far as faculty, I have had a couple of bad apples, but majority have been excellent.

This school is awesome. Not only did I qualify for financial aid, but the teachers I have are outstanding individuals. They make sure you have everything done right. I am studying to be an EMT and I must say, although its difficult sometimes, I love the way my professors go through everything.Now back to the college, its clean, other students and staff are friendly. Staff is always willing to help. I love it!

Review β„–24

When I first Immigrated to United States back in July 1996,I never forget it was one of the hottest summers, I had a lot of heck to get to adjust to this country and a specially Learn and Understand proper American, slang type English, which is very different then English we learned back in Europe (which was a British type). For ESL I had amazing patient teachers, including Robert, who tool and school field trips with us, as to San Francisco, Zoo and other educational places. I am very grateful for that . I remember first teacher said, how shocked she was when she would meet her students after years and how she was shocked how her students spoke great English, now I understand what she meant.I took about 3 to 4 levels and had to practice a lot at my job after school, after 3p.m to use English, because just going to school and learn basics, without practicing, simply is not enough. I would like to thank you to the College and California Sate to giving us opportunity for education of this important subjects as English and computers. I am very grateful to this country and feel very patriotic and fortunate being in the United States. I would highly recommend this College to any one for all sorts of education.

Review β„–25

I have no major complaints about this school except for the parking. You have to pay $75 for a regular semester, and with several parking lots, they’re all still jam packed from 9am-11am, and pretty full during other times. I’ve opted to take early morning class (7-8am) just to park. Otherwise, I’ve had a good experience with everything, from campus cleanliness to good course counseling. It’s hard to get things sorted sometimes in admissions, financial aid, counseling etc. because this school is insanely overcrowded. Again... You could double the amount of parking lots and I still think it wouldn’t be enough, and if you’re new, you’ll learn the hard way like I did what times will/won’t be pleasant.(One last minor complaint is that several professors don’t allow laptops in class, which sucks since I bought one to be able to take notes fast. I think since we’re mostly paying for these classes, they shouldn’t treat full grown adults like children. I understand it can be distracting, but ultimately it’s up to the student if they want to pay attention or not.)

I graduated from here 2017 and transferred to UCLA. I miss this school. I had a great experience here with professors from the English, mathematics and social science department. Its a nice campus and I love that it is in a great location. Its a little elevated but it is right next to the 2 freeway. EOPS was very helpful as well as SoS. Transfer center counselors were amazing too.

They say they promote cultural diversity, but they do the complete opposite. This school is very racist towards the black and Hispanic community. Unless you are Armenian, they won’t help you with anything and always prefer to help them over you. I’ve had such a horrible experience where I couldn’t sign up for a class and the website wasn’t working. I went to the admissions office and asked why it won’t work and the lady told me, β€œyou have to wait, we can’t sign up for you.” Then the person behind me who is Armenian asks the same question, and they immediately help her enroll and EVERYTHING!A couple of my friends have left the school already because there is no culture diversity. We have no black lives matter group or anything for our community, only Armenian culture.Such an uncomfortable school for anyone of color

Im very disappointed about bookstores customer service! When I took a book to buy it, the price of the book on the shelf was 59$ without tax, but when a cashier checked the book, the price was 73$ without tax. When I asked the cashier why there was not that price on the shelf under the book, she did not give me respond, but asked why does it bother me, because EOPS pays for me anyways. When I tried to solve this, A lady named Suzi represented herself as a manager threaten me that she will call the police abusing my verbal communication skills in English. Im shocked by this disrespectful attitude to ESL students !

Review β„–37

As far as your education goes, GCCs standards are the same same as other CCs and UCs. However, their student services suck compared to other community colleges and universities I have attended! For example, they dont do any over-the-phone academic counseling, you cant request an unofficial transcript through the student portal, its hard to find information about how to get an IGETC certification (I could not find the IGETC certification form online so I called the office and the lady didnt even know something that should be basic for her, then she transferred my call without saying anything, which went straight to voicemail), the number of classes is few so it will be harder to get into a class or change your class schedule compared to other institutions, the website sucks, and the academic advisor that I talked to a few years ago used an outdated class planner transfer sheet that had classes that I didnt even have to take to transfer to the university that I wanted (the advisor I recently went to see, Richard Cortes, though, was really nice and helpful. If you can, you should choose PCC over GCC. If you dont care about the bad service that the staff provides, at least consider PCC for the greater variety and amount of classes that they offer.

Predatory book rental program designed to make its students pay FULL PRICE for inflated textbooks--text books that are HUNDREDS of dollars. its packaged information that is otherwise freely available online, these prices are unethical.

Beautiful campus but the faculty needs improvement. For Example, Gcc needs People who know what they are doing and people who want to be there to work.Also Book prices ARE RIDICULOUS. For the 1st time in my life i seen my class of 27 or so students decrease to 16, All because The Only 1 book required had to be bought brand new for the price of $230 or $240!! Sad part if you didnt get the book you failed the class.Unbelievable...smh

I am a returning student after a 1 1/2 year absence,and a gradute from GCC..At 60+ yrs. of age, I am always trying to better my knowledge.Even though I had my student id. card, and all my information in their computer data base, admissions told me that after that length of time I had to start from square one.... A NEW INCOMING STUDENTI am not able to register for spring classes until my application has been approved, which I was told could be 48 to 72 hours. After 2 1/2 hours at the campus today, I am still not registered for any classes!!!What an Fed up Mess! Their new policy makes it extremely difficult for returning students.Why couldnt the ID. been checked, and re-activated??? Great computer system.Even if approved-- I dont think I will go back!

This college has a great campus, but the faculty is a joke. Most of these instructors teach as a side job, and you can really notice. For a community college I guess you cant expect much, but some of these teachers are truly terrible. The parking situation is also a reminder of the greed that runs this school. I highly suspect that fraud is taking place at this institution, and that tax payer dollars are being wasted. The education system in California needs to be purged from top to bottom, there are far to many frauds passing themselves off as educators. I would recommend Peirce college or college of the canyons over this sham of a school any day.

Do not go to this school, they make every single thing and process you have to go through a nightmare.

I am a great student and have maintained a 4.0 GPA. When I applied for financial aid for my university, I went and checked with the office to see of they needed anything from be befire the deadline of the application was due. Because GLA financial aid saves ypu a lot of money, I was very excited to submit my paperwork. The office woman told me that the applicatikn was going to be sent soon, and that the and needed nothing for me to submit, because they ahd all of my information. After the deadline, I check to see if my application was sent and I see another woman who tells me they havent submitted my application. I ask them why and they tell me because I havent submitted my social security number, which is necessary for the application. I explain to this woman that I was told my her coworker that I did not need to send anything, amd the only thing this woman says is, Well then I guess my coworker was wrong. When asking what I can do ro solve this problem that THEY caused, all the woman does is reply, Sorry, the deadline passed, and there is nothing we can do. in her insincere voice! Now she has ruined my chances of getting a decent scholarship to my dream university!

Its generally a good experience,and very rarely I have issues with the school. The only issues i have is logging in with moodle at home due to my computer capability,other then that its a great experince,with the exception of fall of 2012,witch I find it disappointing and even embarrassing to say.In Fall 2012, in art115 the condition was loud and unacceptable standard. As well as a horrible geology professor Mr. Leland.I regret my action that nearly dismissed me from the school,in that semester and was a harsh lesson I learned.Other then that most semesters are great for most of the part.

I’ve had the most terrible experience at this school in the past. Never take a biology class at this campus. It will be a waste of your time. There is a field trip which goes to Los Angeles Zoo. You get to go there for free with a class but there isn’t much to learn at the Los Angeles Zoo. Save your time and take the class online or attend a different campus.
