    Logging into classes is a challenge, no technical help; cannot use 365 or do homework for some class

    It is a technical joke; I bought a brand-new laptop because of water damage to the previous laptop and was restricted for some class work. I have gotten rand emails from tech about password and when they were contacted, they stated they do not send text. It is required to use Authenticator App for logging in, and I still cannot do homework for some classes. Tech has had my laptop for over an hour in the past with no resolution. Used the free 365 a few times and started getting the same error messages that I do for select classes. I am committed, but for those reasons I would not attend this college.

    Bobby Bustillos does not recommend the school.
