Giving Durham Tech is one star is much more than they deserve, but apparently you can not give 0. I have found staff unhelpful, uncaring and unorganized. For months I have trying to get in contact with them to enroll in courses. I have sent just shy of 50 emails to all different places, most with no reply, some passing me on to another staff member who did not reply or others telling me they would find out then never replying again even after I sent follow up emails. I was forced to go into the school to register due to my nationality and given the exact same form as the one I would have filled out online. What a waste of my time. After all of this, every single one of my courses was cancelled (to be fair I know they have no control over this) And for each I was given less than 24 hours notice before the course was to start. I have found they also do not communicate with their teachers at all. If you want to enroll in a course at Durham Tech, just be prepared to receive no help what so ever.

DTCC is the 3rd community college that I have worked for in my career in higher education. I know for a fact that those of us in my office care a great deal about the students and go above and beyond to be of assistance. Within my first few weeks I was asked to meet with the President of the college. I was shocked, I had worked for 2 years at a school in Delaware and I never saw even a picture of the President let alone meet with him! From the moment I walked in for my interview I knew that this place was home. I look forward to many more years serving the students of Durham Tech.

Arts, Sciences, and University Transfer is the best! Transfer Center is full of great information, Ms Cupitt is only part time but does more that many full time advisors, she is a great asset. You have to take charge and follow through because the place has a bunch of workers who are clueless,unprofessional (in speech and appearance) and could not care less. DTTC facebook is a joke, the website is better but cluttered, hard to know what is going on since most instructors do not use announcements. Posted for best friend.

So I have been going here little by little. I took the placement test in 2013 and my scores was not uploaded. Now they have a new system. No one is able to pull my scores up. Now I have to repeatedly come at different times because you can only take one test at a time. This means missing work for a test i obviously have taken. I even passed trigonometry. I am so disappointed in the way I was not given information over the phone and was told to come here and then all the back and forth is very discouraging.

An exceptional learning institution that fosters student growth, skill development, and provides Durham residents with opportunities to study programs ranging from biotechnology to health care. The staff and faculty at Durham Tech are professional and committed to helping students achieve their career aspirations. Durham Tech also has an outstanding University Transfer program where students can seamlessly transfer to neighboring four-year universities.

It was hard to ignore the other review but I needed to get in a school that offered the Computer classes I needed to use the VRAP. A new program with the VA. I talked with the VA rep Debbie who was very helpful. I asked about the other reviews and she said that she took over 3 three years ago when the other VA rep left after a bad audit Debbie has improved the service to the vets.and was audited and has passed.

I was waitlisted for a class and was not able to enroll before the class started. However someone dropped after class started which meant there was a free seat. I inquired about registering or even auditing the class and was informed that you can’t add a class after it has started. This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. The professor was not helpful and didn’t allow me to sit in on the class anyway.

i actually think durham tech is a really decent school. Especially because of its campus and its feeling. people are for the most part nice and mature. it resources and programs are good! i think if more money and time were spent to improve its quality, honor courses, its people, and its "prestige"--NOT its size--the school would be essselent.

I really enjoy Durham Tech! I got my GED in May 2013. It was a hard thing for me, with a family and a job. But all of my teachers and many of the faculty went above and beyond for me. I am now currently attending Durham Tech in the field of Respiratory Therapy. I"m looking forward to having a rewarding future after i graduate.

I like the campus and think this is a wonderful place to help students excel. However, every time I call up here I get on the phone with a inconsiderate and/or rude woman on the phone. Being that I have a strong sense of customer service, which some people lack.

If you are a veteran seeking to get an education through military benefits stay far, far away from this school. They have failed numerous VA audits and have a clueless, lazy, and incompetent staff.

I really enjoyed my experience of studying at Durham Technical CC. I received my nursing education there (RN). I would recommend attending this college.
