Why are the people working in the offices so uniformed? I can't tell you how may people we have spoken to regarding registration that misinformed us. As a result we ended up being charged out of district for classes. Then had several people misinform us about what we needed to show as proof of residency. Now am told the account has been credited and we should easily access the website; www.myaccess.cod.edu...........well you try the website. That's right doesn't lead anywhere. All I have felt is frustration trying to get my daughter registered for the summer term. Too bad..I had hopes this was not going to be such a hassle.
