ATLA�TA TECH�ICAL COLLEGE
PHILOSOPHY
The strength of Atlanta rests in its citizens whose skills, values, and ethics make them a productive and competitive force. The men and women of Atlanta should be productive workers if the city and its environs are to attract new business and industry and strengthen existing companies that have enabled Atlanta to become the commercial hub of the entire Southeast. Atlanta Technical College does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, national origin, sex, religion, marital status, or disability. Individuals should be provided programs and services that will enable them to develop and improve their academic skills, technical competence, and work attitudes. These attributes are necessary for job acquisition, retention, and advancement in a career that is personally satisfying, socially useful, and economically beneficial. Atlanta Technical College believes that opportunities in technical education must include general and technical literacy, academic skills and knowledge, technical skills, and the attitudes needed to enjoy life. To obtain employment, individuals must be competitive in today's job market, and they must possess the skills that will earn them promotions throughout their careers. Atlanta Technical College believes that the positive results of a literate and technical competent citizenry will accelerate Atlanta's continued appeal to existing, expanding, new, and emerging businesses and industries and will in turn contribute to the economic and social growth of individuals living and working in and around Atlanta.
CORE VALUES
These core values define our enduring character and are the primary reasons that Atlanta Technical College has been a strong community influence for so long. We are proud of our reputation in the community and our traditions of academic excellence and educational success. We honor tradition, yet seek to expand it, moving forward into the future informed by traditional values that transcend time, size, business and industry trends, management changes, or external factors. By maintaining these core values, we preserve what has always been special about Atlanta Technical College.
Our core values are the guiding principles that direct our work as we fulfill our mission. Whether you interact with a staff member or an administrator, attend classes taught by one of our faculty members, or meet an Atlanta Tech student in the community, you will see these values at work.

I�TRODUCTIO� Atlanta Technical College is a postsecondary college under the governance of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG). As one of 23 technical colleges in the state, Atlanta Technical College adheres to the policies and requirements set forth by the TCSG. Atlanta Technical College prepares students for the world of work.
The Community The location of Atlanta Technical College, in the southwestern corner of the city of Atlanta, places the college on an excellent site to provide maximum involvement in the city's exciting and progressive business, industrial, cultural, and educational communities. Atlanta is the corporate headquarters for many well-known companies such as AGL, AT&T Mobility LLC, CNN, Coca-Cola, the Southern Company, Delta Air Lines and Turner Broadcasting Company. Host of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, Atlanta is home to several professional sports teams including the Atlanta Braves baseball team, the Atlanta Hawks basketball team, the Atlanta Dream women’s basketball team, the Atlanta Falcons football team, and the Atlanta Thrashers hockey team.
Facilities Atlanta Technical College occupies a 48-acre campus on Metropolitan Parkway. Quality technical education requires laboratory facilities comparable to workplaces in business and industry. An annual budget of more than $27 million keeps the training environment current with state-of-the-art technology. Budget expenditures have been generously supplemented with donations of equipment and technical advice from corporations committed to technical education. These business partnerships foster a new level of cooperation to enhance technical education.

History Tracing its origin through six decades, the college has grown from fairly modest beginnings. Atlanta Technical College was established as Smith-Hughes Vocational School at 232 Pryor Street, and first enrolled adults in vocational education in 1945 following World War II. The school was moved in 1964 to Smith High School at 535 Hill Street and renamed Hoke Smith Technical Institute. At that time, about 24 occupational programs were offered. Federal funding for vocational education in the late 1960s promoted the concept of area vocational technical schools. In 1967, the school was reorganized as Atlanta Area Technical School and was moved to its current southwest campus, enrolling its first students in the new facilities in January 1968.

Special precautions are taken to ensure due process in all matters pertaining to admissions, disciplinary issues, academic concerns, and civil matters. The purpose of the student grievance procedure is to provide a means to address students' complaints. Specific guidelines and procedures for filing grievances for grade appeal, academic dismissal, and student complaints are outlined in the Student Handbook.
Student Conduct
Atlanta Technical College's students are expected to behave in a mature and responsible manner at all times on campus. Students who, as a result of their actions, are charged, indicted, or convicted of violation of city or county ordinances or of state or federal laws shall be subject to disciplinary action by the College, including probation, suspension, or expulsion. Students who, either individually or with others, obstruct, disrupt, or attempt to interfere with any authorized activity on the College campus will be subject to disciplinary procedures, including dismissal. Students are responsible for understanding and observing the provisions of the Student Conduct Code as outlined in the Student Handbook. The Student Handbook is disseminated during orientation and is available on the ATC website and in the Admissions Office.
Illegal Drug Statement
Atlanta Technical College is concerned with both the welfare of the community and the academic and personal development of students. Atlanta Tech strives to create a healthy environment free from the presence of illegal drugs. Atlanta Technical College prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession, or use of illegal drugs, alcohol, or controlled substances by Atlanta Tech students and staff as set forth in Georgia Law (HB 1231, Act 1447), Drug-Free Postsecondary Education Act of 1990, Federal Law (Public 101-226), and the Drug-Free School and Community Act Amendment of 1989, Section 22, Drug-Free Schools and Campuses.
Disability-Related Complaints Students with disability-related complaints should address them to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA/504) Coordinator, Atlanta Technical College, 1560 Metropolitan Parkway, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30310, 404.225.4462. The procedures for filing a grievance are outlined in the Student Handbook.
Sexual Harassment Complaints
Sexual harassment complaints that involve another student or a staff member should be addressed to the Equity Coordinator, at 404.225.4463 or the Vice President of Student Affairs at 404.225.4447. The Equity Coordinator's office is located in the Admissions Office in Room 166 B. Students who feel that they have been discriminated against should contact the Equity Coordinator.
Children on Campus
Because of safety and liability issues, Atlanta Technical College does not allow children in classrooms or laboratory areas at any time. There are exceptions made for approved field trips for children in the Atlanta Technical
18
College childcare center, for high school students attending ATC classes, and for those students touring from area schools. An adult must accompany children on the campus at all times.
Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act
The Student-Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act is an amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1992. The Act requires colleges and universities to make available to enrolled students and prospective students the graduation/completion rates, transfer-out rates, and campus crime statistics. This information is available in the Student Affairs Office.
Health Services Atlanta Technical College's Student Accident Insurance provides coverage only for accidental injury on campus or while participating in an approved student activity. In the event of a medical emergency that is not an accidental injury, Atlanta Technical College will refer students to the nearest medical facility. As a non-residential institution, students are expected to secure medical services through a private physician. For a non-accidental campus injury or a non-accidental injury during an approved campus activity, it is understood that the student or parent will assume full responsibility for the cost of emergency care at the hospital including ambulance charges if such service is necessary. Each registered student will pay a quarterly accident insurance fee. This insurance will cover students for the costs of an accidental injury on campus or while participating in an approved student activity as an official representative of the College. All students must have College insurance. Professional liability insurance is required for students in certain programs such as those in the Health Occupations and Human Services Divisions. First aid kits are available in the security office, Student Affairs, and in many laboratories throughout the campus. However, staff is instructed to cal 911 for any potential y life threatening emergency and then to report the incident to the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Electronic Devices in Classrooms and Labs
Use of personal electronic devices is not permitted in labs and classrooms. Such devices include but are not limited to cell phones, walkie talkies, music devices, and pagers.
Student Representation in Governance
Atlanta Technical College acknowledges that the input of its students is a valuable resource. The role of the student in governance is advisory and is formally accomplished through the Student Government Association.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Atlanta Technical College (ATC) desires to make provisions for students to be as knowledgeable as possible regarding College policies and procedures and their rights and responsibilities relating to them. The information in this section is designed to clarify information pertaining to rights that are granted to students and responsibilities which students should fulfill as members of the College community. The submission of an application for admission to ATC represents a voluntary decision on the part of the prospective student to participate in the programs offered by the institution pursuant to the policies and procedures of the College, Technical College System of Georgia, and state and federal agencies where applicable. College approval of a student's application, in turn, represents the extension of a privilege to matriculate and to remain an educational consumer as long as he/she meets the required academic and behavioral standards. Each individual student is guaranteed the privilege of exercising his/her rights without fear or prejudice. Such rights include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Right to attend classes in an educational environment in which person property is respected.
• Right to privacy of their educational records. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) applies to
19
all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. These rights transfer to the students or former students who have reached the age of 18 or who are attending school beyond high school. Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" type information such as student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards and dates of attendance, unless parents or students request that the school not disclose directory information about them.
• Right to maintain privacy of personal possessions unless appropriate Atlanta Technical College personnel have reasonable cause to believe a student possesses any object or material that is prohibited by law of ATC Board policy.
• Right to appeal to the President if the result of the hearing is suspension or expulsion.
• Right to call witnesses and to present evidence in his/her behalf.
• Right, upon request, to a list of witnesses who will appear against him/her.
• Right to confront and cross-examine witnesses and/or accusers.
• Right to request to copy of the record or the tape recording of a hearing. Within the limits of its facilities on al campuses and sites, ATC will be open to all persons without regard to sex, race, creed, disability, or national origin. It is the responsibility of ATC to publish its educational objectives and to make available the criteria it shall use in evaluating student success in al programs. It is the responsibility of the student to acquaint himself/herself with these objectives and criteria as published and set forth by ATC. Additionally, ATC faculty and administration routinely use various methods of communication to transmit critical information to students. These include electronic monitors, mail outs, email, and posted notices. Students are responsible for reading these correspondences and governing themselves accordingly.
The facilities and services of ATC will be available to all enrolled students, provided they are used in a manner which is appropriate to an academic environment and with regard to ATC policies and operating procedures. ATC's Student Conduct Code addresses behavior and actions which adversely impact the achievement of educational goals. It is the responsibility of the student to become familiar with the regulations governing student conduct and to adhere to policies where applicable. Lack of knowledge regarding ATC policies will not excuse any student from adherence to policies or sanctions that may be imposed for violations. ATC reserves the right to dismiss any student whose conduct and behavior poses a threat to the College environment or the health, safety, or security of others.

Financial Aid
21
FI�A�CIAL AID PROGRAMS ADMI�ISTERED BY THE COLLEGE
FEDERAL A�D STATE FI�A�CIAL AID PROGRAMS Atlanta Technical College is pleased to participate in the administration of federal and state Student Financial Aid (SFA) programs. SFA programs are designed to assist students in meeting the educational costs required to complete their chosen program of study. The Financial Aid Office is also the liaison for numerous scholarship programs sponsored by the College foundation, civic, religious, and corporate agencies. To further assist students with the application process, financial aid counseling is available and workshops are conducted throughout each academic year. The following financial aid information will provide you with an overview of the programs available, the eligibility criteria, and the application process. Additional information and/or clarification of the SFA programs may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office. Please note that the information contained herein is subject to change pursuant to federal, state, or institutional policy updates.
Federal PELL Grant Program (PELL)
The PELL Grant Program provides federal assistance to students who demonstrate financial need as defined by the U. S. Department of Education. PELL recipients must be enrolled in an eligible undergraduate program of study and must not have attained a baccalaureate degree or a first professional degree. Normally, all associate degree and diploma programs are Pell eligible. However, many of the technical certificate of credit (TCC) programs do not meet the qualifications for Pell. A current listing of the Pell Eligible TCCs can be found at http://www.atlantatech.edu/PellEligibleTCCs.pdf Award amounts vary based on individual need as determined by federal methodology and quarterly federal credit hours.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This federal program is designed to `supplement' the grant assistance awarded to the most needy PELL Grant recipients. Funding for FSEOG is limited and based on the amount of funds allocated to the College each year. Thus funds are not available for all students who meet the eligibility criteria for this award. Since funds at Atlanta Tech are limited, students who meet the priority deadline date for applying for federal aid have the greatest chance of receiving FSEOG assistance.
Federal Work Study (FWS) Program Federally funded, this program encourages part-time employment and participation in community service activities such as the America Reads initiative. Normal y employed in departments on campus, FWS students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or greater. FWS offers student employees an opportunity for financial assistance, exposure to real work experiences, and development of positive work ethics and time management skills.
Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program
There are two components of the HOPE Scholarship Program available to Atlanta Tech students. The HOPE Grant component is available to students enrolled in a certificate or diploma program of study. Beginning with the fall term of 2004, al hours for which a student received HOPE Grant payment, retroactive to summer quarter 2003, are counted as Paid-Hours. Recipients are eligible for a maximum of 95 quarter hours of HOPE Grant payment. Exception: Students enrolled in a program of study which requires more than 95 hours to complete may receive funding up to a maximum of 130. The maximum paid hours of eligibility for these students is based on the number of hours required for their program of study. For example, if the program requires 125 hours to complete, the student will qualify for 125 paid hours of HOPE funding. Quarter hours or the number of hours required for graduation, whichever is less, but only if enrolled in specific programs of study designed to require more than 95 quarter hours for graduation. The HOPE Scholarship component is awarded to HOPE Scholars enrolled in an associate degree (AAT or AAS) program of study. HOPE Scholars are students who graduate from a Georgia high school or students who are
22
`grandfathered' into the program after attempting a minimum of 45 associate or baccalaureate degree credit hours with a 3.0 or greater cumulative GPA at the required checkpoints. HOPE Scholarship applicants must complete an ATC HOPE Scholarship Application. The HOPE award amount is equivalent to the cost of tuition and fees plus a HOPE book allowance. The quarterly book allowance is $50, if the student is enrolled less than halftime (5 or less credit hours) and $100, if the student is enrolled at least halftime (6 or more credit hours). The HOPE award does not cover the $35.00 Technology Fee., and the HOPE award does not cover malpractice insurance fees (which are required for certain health related programs of study).
STUDE�T ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility Criteria
Although there are specific criteria governing each SFA program, all SFA recipients must meet the following criteria:
• U. S. citizenship or eligible non-citizenship
• Selective Service registration, if required
• High school diploma or GED
• Enrollment in an eligible program of study
• Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
• Not owe a refund to a federal grant program or be in default on a federal student loan
• Not have attained a baccalaureate or first professional degree
Application Process
The Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the document that students must complete to be considered for federal assistance. The FAFSA can also be used to determine if the student qualifies for state aid. Atlanta Tech's school code, 008543, must be reported on the FAFSA. Students who wish to apply for state aid only may complete the online application process at GACollege411.org. To complete the process, students must “Create an Account” and complete the Georgia Student Financial Aid Application System (GSFAPPS) Application. Important Note: Students who are over age 24, married or have children are considered Independent. Students who are under age 24, not married or have no children are considered Dependent. It is highly recommended that all applicants complete the FAFSA so that consideration can be given for all SFA programs. If requested, applicants must also be prepared to submit copies of certain financial documents (tax returns, verification of TANF, Social Security, child support, etc.) to the Financial Aid Office prior to being considered for aid.
Deadline Dates Applicants are encouraged to begin the application process as soon as possible prior to the academic year/term they would like to receive financial assistance. The academic year is July 1-June 30, and the priority deadline date
is March 1, preceding the chosen academic year. Should the applicant fail to meet the priority deadline date, all aid applications and supportive documents must be submitted to the aid office by the following quarterly deadline dates:
• Summer Quarter ~ June 1
• Fall Quarter ~ September 1
• Winter Quarter ~ December 1
• Spring Quarter ~ March 1
23
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students who receive Title IV Federal financial aid funds and/or the Georgia HOPE Grant funds must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). SAP is comprised of the student‘s cumulative grade point average (GPA) and the completion rate. Students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or greater and must complete their program of study within 150% of the time normally required. The GPA is computed by the Registrar‘s Office and is computed on a scale of 4.0 (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0). Grades that adversely affect a student’s GPA are D, F, and Withdrew Failing (WF). The grades of Incomplete (IP), Withdrawal (W), Withdrew Passing (WP), Satisfactory (S), and Unsatisfactory (U) have no impact on the student’s GPA. A satisfactory completion rate is used to measure whether or not the student will complete his/her program of study within 150% of the time normally required. The student must complete at least 67% of all attempted classes. The letter grades that indicate unsatisfactory completion are D, F, W, WF, WP, IP, and U. Federal regulations require the institution to check SAP at least once per academic year. At Atlanta Tech, the student will be given two quarters to regain satisfactory progress once they have dropped below the minimum requirements. During the first quarter, aid will be given on a warning basis. If at the end of the warning quarter the student has not regained satisfactory progress, the student will be given aid on a probation basis. If at the end of the probation quarter, the student is still below the minimum requirements, his/her financial aid will be suspended until such time as he/she regains eligibility. If the student feels that there are extenuating circumstances regarding his/her ability to maintain progress, he/she may submit a written letter of appeal with appropriate documentation for consideration. SAP Appeals are reviewed and evaluated by the Financial Aid Counselors, but will not be reviewed without appropriate documentation. Said student will receive a written response within two weeks from the date the appeal was received in the financial aid office.
Maintaining Financial Assistance Financial aid recipients must reapply for financial aid each academic year. Students who fail to renew their applications will be required to pay their educational costs until such time as their continued eligibility has been established. In some cases, the student will receive retroactive payment. Recipients must notify the aid office in writing if their financial circumstances change (change in or loss of employment, change in dependents, etc.).
The Verification Process The Department of Education selects at least 30% of all applicants (students who complete the FAFSA) for a review process called verification. If your federal application is selected for review, you must complete a Verification Worksheet for the academic year and document the items shown below for the base year. Students applying for assistance for the 2009-2010 academic year are required to provide documentation for the 2008 base year. The items to be verified include:
• Household size
• Number in college
• Adjusted gross income
• U.S. taxes paid
• Certain types of untaxed income and benefits: social security benefits, child support, IRA/Keogh deductions, foreign income exclusion, earned income credit, interest on tax-free bonds
• All other untaxed income included on the U.S. income tax return, excluding information on the schedules
24
Students who did not keep a copy of their tax form, or have misplaced it, may obtain a summary of their data, free of charge by calling the Internal Revenue Service at 1.800.829.1040. Students who did not file a tax form must request a Non-Filing Status Letter from the IRS. Upon submitting all of the required verification documents, students should allow at least two weeks for the verification process to be completed by their financial aid counselors. If the verification results in accurate data, the student will receive an award letter. If the results indicate that a correction is required, the correction will be submitted electronically by ATC.
Financial Aid Counselors
It is highly recommended that students who are considering changing their majors, withdrawing from class, etc., check with a financial aid counselor to determine if and how this change will affect their financial aid. Counselors are assigned based on the student's last name. Students whose last name begins with A-J should call 404.225.4720 and students whose last name begins with K-Z should call 404.225.4717.

ADDITIO�AL SOURCES OF FI�A�CIAL ASSISTA�CE
VETERA�S A�D ELIGIBLE DEPE�DE�TS
EDUCATIO�AL BE�EFITS
Former service personnel, their survivors, and dependents may be eligible for Veterans Affairs Educational Benefits. Atlanta Tech is pleased to offer programs that are approved for veterans and their eligible dependents. To determine your eligibility, please contact the Atlanta Tech Veterans Affairs Office for assistance. Apply: If this is your initial claim, complete an Application for Benefits (VA Form 22-1990). This can be completed online at http://www.gibill.va.gov or paper applications can be obtained from the Atlanta Technical College (ATC) Veteran's Affairs Office. The veteran's Affairs Regional Office will process your applications and send you a Certification of Eligibility if you qualify. Upon receiving a Certification of Eligibility, you should submit a copy of it, your DD214, and your class schedule to the ATC VA Office. If you have previously filed for VA Educational Benefits, and have received a Certification of Eligibility (CE) from the VA or if a CE is pending, you should just submit a copy of it, your DD214, and your class schedule to the ATC VA Office.
Certify: Once you have submitted the documentation described above, the VA Rep will validate your enrollment and send a certification to the appropriate VA Regional Office. This is called the Enrollment Certification
Process. Since you cannot be paid for your benefits until the VA rep certifies your enrollment, and he or she cannot certify your enrollment until he has your class schedule, you must remember to submit a copy of your class schedule at the beginning of each quarter.
26
Enrollment Status Changes and Withdrawals
It is the student's responsibility to notify the ATC VA Rep of any changes in enrollment status, program of study, place of training, etc. These type changes affect your eligibility and must be reported to the VA Regional Office. If you withdraw from school or drop/add classes, we recommend that you notify the VA Representation within three days of that change.
Failure to do this can result in the lost of future benefits and/or repayment of benefits received in error.
Please remember to report any enrollment changes promptly.
Change of Program or Place of Training
If you have been approved for VA educational benefits and then decide to transfer to another school and/or change programs or majors, you must complete a Request for Change of Program or Change of Place of Training (VA Form 22-1995 or VA Form 22-5495 depending on your program). You can get this form from the VA Rep or download it from the VA's web site: http//www.gibill.va.gov
Address Changes
Address changes and changes of Banks should also be reported to the Department of Veteran Affairs. This is because a change in address may delay benefit checks, because the VA WILL NOT forward your benefits checks to a new address. If you close a bank account without first informing the VA, they will send your benefit payment to the old bank account. IF the bank refuses the payment and sends the check back, it goes to the U.S. Dept of Treasury and takes about two weeks to get reposted. You can change your payment information on the verification form or via telephone at the Department of Veteran Affairs phone number: 1-888-442-4551 (1-888-GI-BILL1).
Time Frame/Payment of Benefits
The time period for an ORIGINAL CLAIM IS ROUGHLY 120 TO 150 DAYS TO PROCESS. The time period for Previous Claimed Certification Claims is 30 TO 90 days. Since we do not have advanced pay, the way to effectively work this system is to give it plenty of time. Plan ahead, apply for both VA and Federal Financial Aid assistance, fill out all the required forms completely and accurately and avoid the errors that will cost you time during the initial claim-period.
Educational Rates
To view the VA educational rates, please visit www.gibill.va.gov/education.rates.htm.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
All recipients are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress according to standards established and published by the college. This included a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or greater as well as a 67% or greater completion rate. If you fail to maintain the minimum requirements as stipulated in the ATC satisfactory academic progress policy, your benefits will be terminated. If you have any questions, Please call the ATC VA Rep at 404-225-4718
Social Security Benefits
Students between the ages of 18 and 22 who have parents receiving Social Security disability or retirement benefits may be entitled to monthly benefits when enrolled as full-time students. Benefits vary with individuals. Information can be obtained from the local Social Security Office.

Vocational Rehabilitation Assistance is available for disabled students. Contact the local vocational rehabilitation counselor for complete information or Atlanta Technical College's Special Needs Advisor.

Academic Policies

Academic Policies
Good Standing
Students who achieve a quarterly GPA of 2.00 are considered to be in good standing.
Academic Warning
Students who fail to achieve a quarterly GPA of 2.00 are placed on academic warning. The purpose of academic warning is to alert the student of the need to improve academic performance.
Academic Probation
Students who fail for the second consecutive quarter to achieve a quarterly GPA of 2.00 are placed on academic probation. Students are required to consult with program advisors to plan for improvement.
Academic Suspension
Students who fail for the third consecutive quarter to achieve a quarterly GPA of 2.00 are placed on academic suspension. A student placed on academic suspension must stay out of school for one full quarter before applying for readmission.
Readmission
A student placed on academic suspension, for the first time, is eligible to apply for readmission after serving a one-quarter suspension. Upon return, if the quarterly GPA falls below 2.00, the student will be suspended for one full calendar year. Subsequent to the one-year suspension, if the quarterly GPA falls below 2.00, the student must appeal in writing to the Vice President of Academic services.
Attendance & Withdrawal Policy
Because employers demand workers who are competent and reliable, regular attendance and punctuality are critical traits in the workplace. Students are expected to attend all classes as scheduled. Specific attendance requirements are established by each department and outlined in the course syllabus; however, programs governed by state and federal licensing agencies may have more specific attendance policies. Records of absences and tardiness are maintained by each instructor. Excessive absenteeism and tardiness impact work ethics evaluations and course grades. Therefore, it may become necessary to withdraw from a course due to excessive absenteeism or tardiness. Formal withdrawal from the College or specific courses is the sole responsibility of the student. All official withdrawals originate in the Office of the Registrar, located within the Student Affairs Division on the first floor of the Dennard Building. Failure to complete the formal withdrawal process may result in a failing grade for the course and could jeopardize current and future financial aid eligibility. Students who stop attending a class or miss 20 percent of class time or more will be withdrawn from the course. The student will receive a grade of "W" should this occur prior to midterm (day 25 of the quarter), and a grade of "WP" (withdrawal passing) or "WF" (withdrawal failing) should this occur after the midterm. The grade will be determined based on the student's academic performance up to the time the student ceases to be enrolled. The last date of attendance will be recorded as the last day that the student attended class or participated in an academically related activity.
Make-Up Work
Students are responsible for arranging make-up work with their instructors in accordance with procedures set forth in the course syllabus.
33
Assignments Missed During Disciplinary Suspension
When students are suspended for disciplinary reasons, they will have an opportunity to make up the assignments missed. Students are responsible for requesting the materials and information needed to complete these assignments.
Absence Due to Military Reserve or �ational Guard Duty
Students who must be absent for military reserve or National Guard duty should inform their instructors and the Financial Aid Office, if appropriate. Such students must provide a copy of their orders, signed by the appropriate military authority. Instructors will assign a grade of "I" for any course(s) not completed due to military duty.
Course Load
Students may register for no more than 21 credit hours per quarter.
Full-time Definition Students who are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours are classified as full -time. This is an academic classification and may differ from the full-time calculation of federal credit hours used for financial aid purposes.
Double Majors
At this time double majors are not allowed at Atlanta Technical College.
Grading System
Grades are issued at the end of each quarter. Students are responsible for notifying the Office of the Registrar of address changes. A grade of "C" or better is required in all courses for graduation. Transcripts of grades are not built for noncredit courses.
Grade �umerical Equivalent Grade Points
A 90-100 4 B 80-89 3 C 70-79 2 D 60-69 1 F 0-59 0 The following symbols are approved for use in the cases indicated. I Indicates that students have an "incomplete" but have satisfactorily completed a substantial portion of the
course work. For NON-ACADEMIC reasons beyond their control, the students have not been able to complete some specific part or amount of the work required. An "I" must be satisfactorily changed to a letter grade by the mid-point of the next quarter, or it will be changed to the grade of "F" by the Registrar. Students must get approval from the instructor prior to the end of the quarter to be eligible for an "I" grade. No credit is given and no grade points are calculated.
IP Indicates that a course continues beyond the end of the quarter. W Students who withdraw before the midpoint of the quarter receive a grade of “W” Withdrew. No credit is given
and no grade points are calculated. WP Indicates students who withdraw passing from a course after the midpoint of the quarter receive a grade of
"WP- Withdrew Passing," if they were passing the course at the time of withdrawal. No credit is given and no grade points are calculated.
34
WF Indicates students who withdraw from a course after the midpoint of a quarter (or course) receive a grade of "WF- Withdrew Failing," if they were failing the course at the time of withdrawal. The "WF" grade is calculated as an "F" in the grade point average.
EX Indicates that a student has exempted a course through examination or through the articulated Tech Prep
programs. Credit is given but grade points are not calculated. Instructors must submit an Advanced Placement Verification Form to the registrar's office to report an exemption.
TR Indicates that a student has been awarded transfer credit from another institution. Credit is given but no grade
points are calculated. If a student earns credit for a course taken at Atlanta Technical College for which transfer credit has been awarded, then the transfer credit will be deleted from the student's record.
AC Indicates articulated credit earned by students as a part of formal articulation agreements. AU Indicates an audited course. No grade is given, no credit hours are earned and grade points are not calculated.
Auditing a course must be initiated during the registration process. Approval for an audit cannot be granted after participation in classroom instruction. Instructors must submit an Advanced Placement Verification Form to the registrar's office to report an audit. Audited classes are not eligible for financial aid.
Grade Point Average
To calculate student grade point average, use this formula:
Credit Hours x Grade Point Equivalent (GPE) = Total Quality Points.
Example:
Grade Grade Point Credit Quality
Equivalent Hours Points
A = (4.0) x (2.0) = 8.0 B = (3.0) x (5.0) = 15.0 C = (2.0) x (4.0) = 8.0 D = (1.0) x (5.0) = 5.0 Total (16.0) Total (36.0) Multiply the number of Credit Hours for each course times the assigned Grade Point Equivalent. Total Credit Hours, then total all Quality Points. Total Quality Points divided by Total credit Hours = Grade Point Average. 36.0 divided by 16 = 2.25 GPA.
Graduation Grade Point Average
The graduation Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated using only those courses required for graduation. (For example, if a student took classes in Welding, but is graduating in Cosmetology, then the Welding classes are not calculated in the GPA for graduation.) When a course is taken more than once, the final grade will be used in calculating the GPA for graduation. An overall 2.0 GPA is required for graduation.
35
Graduation Requirements Atlanta Technical College conducts one commencement exercise per year for students who have completed all graduation requirements or are in their final classes at that time. To qualify for graduation, the student must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Complete an Application for Graduation by the posted quarterly deadline and submit to the Registrar. 2. Complete the prescribed course requirements with a graduation grade point average of 2.0. 3. If transfer credit has been accepted, receive credit from Atlanta Technical College for a minimum of 50% of the
hours required for the course requirements. 4. Satisfy all financial obligations to the college, including payment of all graduation fees.

STEP 1. If students receive final grades and desire to clarify questions about grades, program standards, and grading practices, they should first discuss disagreements with their instructors and have appropriate documentation. STEP 2. When an agreement cannot be reached at step one, students should submit written appeals within five days to the dean. The students' appeals must be signed and dated. The dean must respond within five days after receipt of notification from step one. STEP 3. If an agreement is not reached from the previous steps, students should submit copies of their original appeal within five school days to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will have five days to review and respond to the appeal.
36
Students may appeal grades received for a period of three months after the quarter of receipt.
Academic Dismissal Appeal Procedures
If students are dismissed from a program of study for academic reasons, they may appeal by following steps two through three as outlined in the appeal procedure for grades.
Grade Change Procedures
Grade changes must be accomplished by instructors by the mid-point of the quarter immediately following the quarter in which the grade was submitted. Students should contact the instructor promptly if there are questions concerning the grade(s) earned. Grades will be changed by the Registrar once written notification of the grade change has been received from the instructor.
Repeating a Course
A course may be repeated two times during the duration of the program. When a course is taken more than once, the final grade will be used in calculating the grade point average for graduation. Under extenuating circumstances a student may be al owed to enroll in a course again with the written permission of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Any exceptions to this policy will appear in specific program policies.
Work Ethics Grade
A work ethics grade will be given each quarter for specified courses. The work ethics grade will not affect the academic grade point average (GPA) of a student; that is, work ethics grades remain separate from academic grades. Work ethics grades will be reported quarterly. The work ethics program is designed to evaluate and encourage good work habits to ensure job retention and career advancement. Employability skills refer to the basic academic, interpersonal, reasoning, problem solving skills, and work ethics that, when transferred to the occupational settings, facilitate job acquisition, retention, and advancement. The work ethics program will focus on the following characteristics in accordance with the Technical College System of Georgia’s work ethics guide. 1. ATTENDANCE 6. PRODUCTIVITY 2. CHARACTER 7. ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS 3. TEAMWORK 8. COMMUNICATION 4. APPEARANCE 9. COOPERATION 5. ATTITUDE 10. RESPECT Students of core and program courses will receive a work ethics grade. Work ethics grades are optional for developmental courses and for grades of W, WF, or WP. Work ethics grades will not be used for grades of AC, AU, EX, I, IP, or TR. Work ethics grades are not required for online courses. Approved Work Ethics Grades 3 = Exceeds Expectations 2 = Meets Expectations 1 = Needs Improvement 0 = Unacceptable
