Slow on technical fixes such applying. Initial introduction of the college, Lead Admission Advisor was quite attentive. Lead Admissions Advisor demonstrated compiled an innovative package (electronic) that program interests, work experience, undergraduate classes. Gave explanatory. Followed up precisely as needed. Other Admissions also did so during the busiest semester. Since it is online the Lead Admissions Advisor could have did an introductory of Faculty Team Admissions Advisors. Professionalism was always not demonstrated at all times; which led to me expressing that in writing. Making sure that clear understanding between the application process should have given all at once (introductory period, required documentation to meet deadline). Introduction of the Faculty members (Registrar and Tutition). Requesting a call back by Reqistrar faculty. Certain changes requested were slow in done.

The University of Maryland Globus Campus (UMGC) is an incredible school, to say the least. I have excelled well here as I have made the dean's list and been nominated to serve on the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) Student Advisory Council (STAC). In addition, I was nominated to join The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS). This opportunity alone afforded me an incredible opportunity to grow as a leader and become more success-oriented. I have networked well amongst my peers and instructors giving me great insight and opportunities for a brighter future. Thank you, University of Maryland Globus Campus (UGMC).

I didn't have the typical college experience - I would have loved to be able to socialize with others during meals, to have a roommates in a dorm, to be included in the college community and to also party with my peers. Instead, I went to UMGC in order to start and finish my degree. I worked full time in addition to going to school part time. It was a way for me to accomplish my goals as a working adult. I didn't have the opportunity to stop working in order to go to school, so the online classes gave me flexibility to complete school work during my breaks at work, in the evenings, on the weekends. The only thing that I would recommend is to have better community and engagement with the students for student events.
