I read the comment about being misadvised. I am a current student at New River. I find it funny that the student does not feel he has a part in this. It is the student's responsibilty to look at a catalog and the requirements to graduate to obtain a degree at any institution. Anyone who can read can see what you need to graduate. If a student is transferring, it is up to the student to go through the other institution's registrar (such as BSC's) to see what is accepted and their BSC counselor to see what is required in their major or needed. That responsibility does not fall on New River. Advising means assisting, it is up to each of us to look at what we need ourselves. I find that a lot of my friends use to never even go to their advisor and that is their own fault. I know they now require your advisor's signature to even register for a class. Sure mistakes happen, but I notice students want to point the finger and never claim responsibility of their own fate! I have had no issues here. I transferred from Concord U and that was a whole different story. Talk about being a number!

I am attending NRCTC at this time I was supposed to transfer to Bluefield State next semester but due to Mis advisement in my academic classes that will not be happening.NRCTC gave me the wrong schedule and I was not put into the radiologic science program I now have 32 credits and hit a brick wall BEWARE OF NEW RIVER COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL and BLUEFIELD STATE they work together in same building but when something happens they point the fingers at each other.Neither one of these schools tried to help me they just pointed fingers at one another. I just learned a hard lesson from these two schools. I would not Give anyone any advice to go to these schools.I have a 3.5 GPA so my grades were not the problem.
