Preston Ridge Campus (PRC)

I am profoundly disappointed at the Collin College Frisco Testing Center. Recently, I just taken the CLEP English Modular Exam at the testing center. During the end of my exam, there was two prompts provided. On the first prompt I clicked send score. And on the second prompt I clicked accidentally clicked canceled score button due to the proximity next to send score button. This was a bad UI design choice on College Board end as the second prompt took precedence over the first prompt as opposed to acting as a confirmation for the first prompt. Further more, no warning, confirmation, or ability to move backward was provided before the exam was automatically submitted. It wasn't until the end, I realized that there was an issue with my exam as I did not see an official score unlike the previous different CLEP exams I have taken before. And I waited two days to confirm that the scores were not sent to College Board. And they did not display in my account. Canceling a score means that I cannot schedule another exam until 3 months pass the date of examination. But, I need to take my second exam part at another institution to claim the credit before school starts again in the Fall Semester. I asked the proctors a couple of question revolving about the prompts to figure out a resolution. Nevertheless, they kept deflecting my questions by pushing the responsibilities towards College Board. To the people who think that I cheated or performed some kind of shady actions to gain unfair advantages, I passed and claimed credits for all three of my previous CLEP exams without any issues from this institution. And I am confident that I passed the College Composition Modular exam as well even without viewing my score. The push to get the majority of graduating high school students into college and universities means that introductory non-STEM college level courses are not any harder than 11th/12th High School classes. And most of the class content can be learned through YouTube FREE. Modern States will even pay for the entire exam including the testing center fee. But universities and colleges are a business and thus they do not want you know this as they want to make more way money by having you take courses in house as opposed to taking credit by exams. And thus colleges have very little incentive to provide good customer service for the credit by exams they administer, even if they are mandated by the government to be nondiscriminatory towards both approved credit by exams and regular college courses. I choose to take my exam at a testing center, due to the privacy concerns of these proctoring software remotely checking your local network connections, files, and CPU processes in order to prevent cheating. This is a fair and just as College Board is responsible for the integrity of the exams they provide. But, what is not fair is paying for something that can be done for free. To the people who want to take the exam without having to deal with the privacy and security concerns of proctoring software, it is best to go to a public library and take an online test on one of the public desktop. At least if you mess something up, you do not have to worry about spending an additional $15 along with your tax money that funds these public institutions. EDIT: I was able to get College Board to send my CLEP score to the institution that I was attending. And College Board paid for my transcript send score as well. On College Board website, they state that there is no way to extract a canceled scored. You need to file a complaint w/ College Board customer support and collect the help desk reference ID and record the call just in case. Make sure the testing center files a CPR report, so that College Board can extract scores from the testing center. And you should receive an email from College Board after a couple of days confirming that a score was sent. The score should show up within 24 hours on the online portal.

Taken a number of courses for undergraduate and continuing education here. I've had some excellent classes and instructors, and made some good friendships. 5 stars.

Amazing college to spend your first 2 years in and later transfer your credits to a beeyer college. You can't imagine how much money you can save with getting same knowledge. Professors have more than adequate information about what they teach, some of them are also passionate in their job and at the same time great entertainers. Not the easiest college if you just want to get an A without putting any work in. Make sure you don't procrastinate registering for your classes, especially if you have a day job and limited schedule, classes get filled pretty quickly. Frisco campus is pretty chill, too. Not too much activity going on but still has great professors there.

Very peaceful and comfortable. Good parking and building demarkations.

I work here, so I am admittedly biased, but this place is great. Affordable classes, great faculty, and, if I may say so, a great and amazing staff and a student body that will make the future a better place. I am proud to work here, and even encourage my oldest daughter to attend when she graduates in a few years.

the worst college i have ever been to. i have gone to them about my gpa because of an express class that was causing me to fail. they did not care at all and did nothing for me. for my other classes i was planning on withdrawing since last day to withdraw is oct 16 just to find out i get NONE of my money back. this school is a complete scam and completely wastes your time.

I went to both Collin College and transferred out to a university. The professors at Collin College are wayyyyy better. They're there to TEACH! not just do research. I loved this college and I loved this campus. Also its priced really well. My advice if you're thinking about college? Go here for a year, then transfer out if you want the University experience.

I’ve attended classes here and the Spring Creek Campus. The one is further from my home but actually prefer this campus over the other one. It’s clean, great staff, great students. Not as many course offerings as the Spring Creek campus but still better than most community colleges.

Clean, nice staff, good parking, layout easy to understand though I’d recommend looking at a map of the school for first days, haven’t had a bad experience here.

I said the same thing about the McKinney campus, it’s what you make of it. This campus had more professors with doctorates and professors with high quality masters Examples include a Lit prof that had a doctorate from Penn State, Psych prof had a doctorate from UTD, and math prof had a Masters from Georgia Tech. I had attended university before I moved states and some of the profs did a great job of catching me up on some things that I felt underprepared for when I was at university, especially the math department.
