I applied online to Wayne County Community College because I live in Wayne County and of course it is cheaper. However upon applying the website prompted me to register automatically because of the status i applied with. Unfortunately I did not have the proper pin to register. I emailed the Webgate help desk to see what I could do. I was told to call my administrative office, which then asked me whether I had called prior to applying and then told me I should have, if I did I would have known what to do. I have never applied to a school that never sent any information when interest was shown. This is a clear sign of their miscommunication and over all inabilities as a school. Having problems with administration only leads me to believe that I will continue to have problems. I would rather pay double than deal with people who could care less. I have dealt with a school like this and I would not recommend this college. The website tells you one thing and the offices tell you something different and expect you to know automatically.
