This school states that the student will have an associate transfer degree if they attend for a 13th year. They take courses at Cape Fear Community College with little support from Sea-tech. They are slow to follow up with certain student requests. They make the students get their books from the school instead of meeting downtown, on location. At times, they have received the wrong books and had to wait for the correct ones. The worst news is that none of the courses that they take at Cape Fear Community College transfer anywhere. They do not even transfer to Cape Fear Community College. It is a waste of time. This is a fraudulent situation and very disappointing. Some students have had to actually pay out of pocket for courses while dual-enrolled. They were never reimbursed. Some students went on to enroll in four-year colleges and learned that the course did not transfer. I don't recommend this school as an early college option.
