[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son is currently a dual enrollment student at MCCC. I am not impressed with the program. The program coordinator isn’t really all that helpful. She talks to the kids like they have taken college courses before and understand all of the terminology associated with it. She just expects the students to know what to do. We were told in the beginning several times that the DE students would have a direct pathway to UMD and automatic entry. That isn’t the case. We were told that all course materials were paid for. That’s also not the case. There are other procedures and policies that were not discussed. When I asked to see the program docs that address policy, the program coordinator ignored me twice. I don’t find the staff to be very professional at MCCC. They are often late to meetings or just don’t show up. It is true that DE students have to apply as freshman. We worked with a transition counselor to make sure we did this correctly on my son’s application to UMD. [/quote]
This sounds like a troll post. There isn’t a “program coordinator” for dual enrollment at MC. The high schools have the program coordinators. How are you as a parent going to multiple meetings with MC staff? This is college, they don’t meet with parents.[/quote]

All of this.

Also anyone who is familiar with it calls it Montgomery College (MC).

My DE kids has always had everything paid for, including lab goggles, textbooks, lab notebooks, online platforms, etc. She once tried to pay for something at the bookstore and they wouldn’t even give it to her. The way the bookstore works you can only pick up pre-ordered and paid for materials and my DE kid doesn’t even have a way to order the materials herself so they have to be paid for by MCPS.

Again, I don’t care if others do DE or AP, I have one kid on each pathway. What I don’t understand is people who feel the need to mis-represent basic facts.[/quote]
