NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE Applications are processed and the names of applicants placed on a list for program admission on a first-come priority. Students are notified by mail of their acceptance into a program and are notified by mail of a time and date to register.

ADMISSION STATUS

REGULAR Regular admission of students to a technical certificate of credit, diploma or degree program is contingent upon their meeting statewide admission requirements and institutional admission requirements established for that specific program and upon their proper completion of application, assessment, and placement procedures. Those students for which assessment is required will adhere to the admission requirements as indicated for a diploma or degree program and will be classified as regular students. Those students for which program assessment is not required will be exempted from the assessment requirement of this policy, but must comply with the remainder of the requirements in order to be classified as a regular student. All diploma or degree students must achieve regular admission status before graduation. Regular admission of transfer students to a diploma program is contingent upon their meeting the following requirements: a) regular admission and good standing at a regionally accredited diploma or degree granting institution, b) proper completion of the application and related procedures. TRANSIENT A student in good standing at another accredited institution may be permitted to enroll as a transient student on a space-available basis at a technical college in order to complete work to be transferred back to the parent institution. The transient student should be advised in writing by the parent institution concerning recommended courses. PROVISIONAL ADMISSIONS Provisional admission of students to a diploma program for which assessment is required is based on an evaluation of assessment scores and other admission data by the Director of Admissions and program faculty, and upon proper completion of application, assessment and placement procedures. Provisional admission of transfer students to a diploma program is contingent upon their meeting applicable licensure and accreditation requirements. Provisionally admitted students must satisfy developmental studies requirements and/or take general education courses and may take certain occupational courses as designated in the program-specific standards. All diploma program students initially admitted on a provisional basis must have satisfactorily completed the necessary prerequisite and developmental studies coursework in order to progress through the State Standards curriculum and must meet regular admissions for that program within 12 months. Students are not admitted on a provisional basis into health programs, cosmetology, or technical certificate of credit programs. LEARNING SUPPORT Learning Support admission is granted to students who do not meet regular or provisional program admission requirements. Students classified in this category are eligible to enroll in learning support classes only. Admission of learning support transfer students is contingent upon their meeting applicable licensure and accreditation requirements. Upon overcoming skill deficits in English, reading, and/or math, learning support students are eligible for admission to diploma programs on a regular or provisional basis. The amount of time spent in learning support depends upon the individual student's needs and progress. SPECIAL STATUS The special admission category is designed to be an admission method for non-award seeking students. The following specifics define the parameters of this classification:

1. Be classified as non-award seeking at time of entry. 2. Be granted special status upon recommendation of the Admissions Director. 3. Receive credit for regular program coursework, which is satisfactorily completed. 4. Receive credit for an unlimited number of courses, but may transfer only 25 credit hours into a specific program for

award seeking purposes. 5. Having the prerogative of applying for regular status but must meet the requirements of the regular admission process.

This includes the state approved assessment process. The number of hours taken as a special status student in no way waives the requirements of the regular admission process.

6. Adhere to the specific institutional prerequisite requirements when selecting courses.

14

AUDIT Applicants must submit an application, pay the application fee and all regular fees, and register for the class. Applicants for audit are not required to take the entrance assessment. Credit is not awarded for courses taken on an audit basis. Courses taken on an audit basis will not be used for certification for federal financial aid, HOPE, TANF, Social Security or Veteran’s Administration educational benefits. Students will be allowed to audit courses on a space available basis. ADMISSION OF DISADVANTAGED AND/OR SPECIAL DISABLED STUDENTS Within a framework of personal guidance and evaluation, special services are provided for the disadvantaged and/or disabled student. These services include aiding students in setting realistic goals, developing individualized programs of study, providing job orientation and job search services, providing assistance in determining the degree and nature of their disabilities and/or disadvantages, and suggesting community service agencies for additional assistance. A student may be accepted as a disadvantaged or disabled student when he/she cannot meet the recommended score(s) to enter a program under regular or provisional status but whose aptitudes and other factors indicate a likelihood of success in at least a segment of the total program. Limited English speaking students may be included in the disadvantaged group. For further information on disadvantaged student admissions, contact the Special Needs Coordinator at (229) 430-2854. For information on hearing impaired and visually impaired student admissions, contact the Special Needs Coordinator (229) 430-2854.

RE-ADMISSION

Students dismissed or suspended from the institution because of administrative action, absenteeism or academic reasons may apply to re-enter after completing the designated absence. Application to re-enter must be made through the Office of Admissions; however, reapplying does not guarantee acceptance. Upon re-entry to the college, regardless of the reason, all students must follow standards, policies, and regulations that are in effect at the time of re-entry. A change of program is considered a re-admission and applications to change a program must be made through the office of admissions. Re-admission applications are due in the admissions office no later than two weeks before arena registration.

GEORGIA RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS

Legal residence in the State of Georgia requires not only recent physical presence in Georgia, but also the element of intent to remain indefinitely. ATC has the responsibility of evaluating each application, while each student has the responsibility of conveying current and accurate residency information. This information is used in determining the appropriate fees to be paid by each student. When applying for admission to ATC, an individual must indicate whether or not the individual is a legal resident of the State of Georgia, and for what period of time. To be classified as an in-state student for tuition purposes, an individual who is 18 years of age or older must show that they have been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of no less than twelve months immediately preceding the date of registration. When a question arises concerning legal residence, proof of intent to remain in Georgia indefinitely must be reviewed, with each case being considered unique and evaluated accordingly. Proof of intent to remain in Georgia indefinitely can be documented by a review of documentation such as driver’s license, voter registration card, and automobile registration. If a person is under 18 years of age, such person may register as an in-state student only upon showing that the supporting parent or guardian has been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding the date of registration. Military personnel and their dependents stationed in Georgia and on active duty are exceptions. If a parent or legal guardian of a minor changes his/her legal residence in Georgia, a minor student may continue to take courses for a period of twelve consecutive months as an in-state student. After the twelve-month period, the student may continue this registration only upon the payment of fees at the out-of-state rate. In the event that a legal resident of Georgia is appointed as guardian of a nonresident minor, such minor will not be permitted to register as an in-state student until the expiration of one year from the date of court appointment, and then only upon proper evidence that such appointment was not made to avoid payment of out-of state fees. Aliens shall be classified as non-resident students; however, an alien who is living in this country under an immigration document permitting indefinite or permanent residence shall have the same privilege of qualifying for in-state tuition as a citizen of the United States. A student must petition the technical college if the student is asking for a change in residency status. Change in residency status for fee purposes is not automatic. EXCEPTIONS TO GEORGIA RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS Students meeting the following exceptions are considered as in-state residents, and therefore qualify for the HOPE program:

1. Employees and their children who move to Georgia for employment with a new or expanding industry as defined in Georgia Code 20-4-40.

2. Non-resident students who are financially dependent upon a parent, parents, or spouse who has been a legal resident of Georgia for at least twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the date of registration; provided, however, that

15

such financial dependence shall have existed for at least twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the date of registration.

3. Full-time employees of Georgia's Technical Colleges, their spouses, and their dependent children. 4. Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia or in a post-secondary college, their spouses, and their dependent

children. 5. Teachers employed full-time on military bases in Georgia. 6. United States military personnel stationed in Georgia and on active duty and their dependents living in Georgia. 7. United States military personnel and their dependents that are legal residents of Georgia, but are stationed outside the

State.

Students meeting the following exceptions will receive out-of-state tuition waivers but will not be considered as Georgia residents. These students do not qualify for the HOPE program :

1. Students who are legal residents of out-of-state counties bordering on Georgia counties in the service areas in which an institution of the Department is located and who are enrolled in said institution.

2. International students selected by the college president or authorized representative, provided however, that the number of the international students exempted does not exceed one percent of the total enrollment of full-time students.

3. Career consular officers and their dependents that are a citizen of the foreign nation, which their consular office represents, and who are stationed living in Georgia under orders of their respective governments. This waiver shall apply only to those consular officers whose nations operate on the principle of educational reciprocity with the United States.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS It is the policy of the Technical College System of Georgia that VISA status is not a condition for admissions to DTAE technical colleges; however, prospective students must meet the state approved admissions requirements as outlined for all students. While VISA status is not a condition for admission, it is critical information that must be collected for effective student advisement and tuition purposes. The President of ATC has the authority to determine if the ATC will issue I-20s. If the president elects to issue I-20s, the college must first obtain approval from Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS). ATC shall adhere to the policies and procedures as outlined by Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) for the issuance of I-20s. The President of ATC shall have the authority to waive out-of-country tuition rates (four times that paid by a resident of Georgia) for students who are not citizens of the United States if such waivers do not exceed two percent (2%) of the technical college's full-time enrollment. This waiver allows the student to pay in-state tuition rates but does not qualify the student for HOPE.

REGISTRATION

Upon advisement, eligible students may pre-register/register for the upcoming quarter. Eligible students are those who have been officially accepted to ATC, continuing students not on academic suspension or academic probation and students enrolling under the special status provisions are eligible to register. Upon registration, students must confirm their intent to matriculate by paying tuition and activity fees or providing the financial aid voucher to the Administrative Services Office. It is the student's responsibility to complete the proper forms and procedures for registration and to verify that his or her schedule of classes is correct. Registration is complete when all fees are paid. Problems experienced in registration should be reported to the registrar. LATE REGISTRATION Late registration will be allowed for students who do not register on the specified date on a space-available basis. An additional fee of $25 will be charged for late registration. Late registration is limited to the first day following the specified arena registration date. ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT First-time students will be initially advised by the Admissions Office staff and then referred to the department chair in their major field. A permanent adviser in the major field is then assigned. ACADEMIC LOAD Students must register for 12 or more credit hours to be considered full time. No student will be allowed to register for more than 21 credit hours without approval from the Program Advisor and Director of Instruction or Registrar. ADVANCED PLACEMENT In order for advanced credit to be considered, students must provide information and written documentation setting forth the education or qualifications they believe qualify them for advanced credit.

TRANSFER CREDIT

TRANSFER CREDIT FROM FORMER INSTITUTIONS Albany Technical College recognizes previous postsecondary course work by accepting credit earned from other regionally or nationally accredited institutions. Transfer credit may be awarded for military training or corporate courses when appropriate. There is no charge for transfer credit. Criteria for transfer credit:

1. The course is essentially the same in content as the course(s) at Albany Technical College. 2. The course was completed with a grade of “C” or better. 3. An official transcript is on file in the student’s admission file from all postsecondary institutions attended. 4. Occupationally related course work has been evaluated and approved for transfer credit by the appropriate program

director and instructor, when requested by the Registrar. 5. Occupationally-specific courses were taken fewer than 10 years prior to admissions. 6. Continuing Education Units (CEU), remedial, and study skills courses are not accepted for transfer.

There is no time limit on transferability of general education courses. General education courses earned at the Doctorate, Masters, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Associate of Arts, and Associate of Science levels from any regionally or nationally accredited institution will meet the general education core requirements of any associate, diploma, or certificate program offered at Albany Technical College. Grade points are not assigned to transfer credit. Should a student receive advanced standing through transfer credit, the student will be required to complete at least 50% of the required curriculum for graduation from Albany Technical College. However, the 50% requirement may be waived if the student has completed a program for which standards have been implemented with the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education system. It is possible for a combination of courses from another single institution to present the same material as in a single course at Albany Technical College. Credit may be transferred in an amount equal to the corresponding Albany Technical College course(s) when the evaluation yields a sufficient degree of comparability in content, nature, and intensity between the combination of the transfer institution’s courses and the corresponding courses at Albany Technical College. Courses to be considered for transfer credit in the practical nursing program from colleges external to the DTAE system must be reviewed and approved by the chairperson of the practical nursing program. Credit is awarded once for a completed class. A letter informing the student of evaluation of transfer credit is mailed to the student as soon as the evaluation is completed. The student also has access to this information via the Web on the transcript. Transfer credit for courses taken at non-accredited postsecondary institutions may be awarded if the course meets the criteria for transfer credit and the student post a score of 80% or higher on a course exemption exam. Credit for military service schools is awarded according to the Service Members Opportunity College Guide (SOC Guide) recommendations. CREDIT EARNED AT FOREIGN INSTITUTIONS The foreign government or state governmental agency of a foreign country must be formally recognized as an educational institution offering post-secondary instruction leading toward a degree or diploma comparable to that offered at Albany Technical College. Transfer credits or completed degrees from foreign institutions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Transfer students from foreign institutions must provide course descriptions along with an official transcript. APPEAL OF TRANSFERABILITY OF COURSE EQUIVALENCIES Students who wish to appeal the evaluation of transfer credit may do so through the Office of the Vice President of Student Services. When making an appeal, students must be prepared to provide supporting documentation (e. g., course syllabus, course description, transfer institution’s catalog). EXEMPTION CREDIT Instructional departments, on an optional basis, may establish approved exams to be administered by the Special Needs Coordinator for exemption purposes. Students with prior military training, documented prior education and/or work experience may take a course exemption test before registering for a course. The student must obtain a request for exemption testing from the Admissions Office and pay a fee based on the cost per credit hour. When a student passes a course exemption test, it is reported to the registrar for entry on the student’s permanent record showing the course number and title. Credit hours are awarded, but no grade is given. No money is refunded if the exam is not passed, and students may only take a course exemption test once. The schedule for exemption testing is scheduled on an individual basis. The following rules govern exemption tests:

1. A student cannot take an exemption test if he/she is currently registered for the class. 2. A student cannot withdraw from a course and sign up to take an exemption exam within the same quarter.

17

3. A student cannot take an exemption exam for a course in which a grade has been earned or has been previously attempted.

4. All exemption tests must be taken before the beginning of the planned quarter of entry. 5. A student cannot exempt more than 21 credit hours per quarter without approval of the Vice President of Instructional

Services. 6. If a given course has a prerequisite course requirement, the prerequisite must be satisfied by either exemption or

successful completion of the course before exemption may be attempted. 7. The minimum pass rate for an exemption examination is 80%. 8. No grade, grade points or credit hours are assigned to exempted examination credit. A grade of EX will be entered on

the permanent record if the exemption exam is completed successfully. 9. Any Student receiving exemption credit through examination, transfer credit, or transient credit must still complete at

least 50% of the credit hours of the required curriculum for graduation at Albany Technical College. 10. Students are responsible for the cost of the exemption exams; financial aid is not available for exemption exams.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Students with prior military training, documented prior education, and/or work experience in the field can earn course credit by passing an exemption examination. Instructional program departments establish exemptions for coursework; some courses may not be available for exemption credit exams. Students wishing to pursue credit by exemption must:

1. Be accepted or enrolled at Albany Technical College. 2. Complete the Application for Exemption Exam and obtain approval from the appropriate director or advisor and the

person responsible for administering the examination. 3. Take the completed application to the Business Office and pay the required fee for each course to be attempted. The

fee is based on the cost per credit hour. 4. Return the application with the receipt to the person responsible for scheduling the exams. 5. Take the exams on the scheduled date and time.

The student will be notified of the test results with five days of the examination. CREDIT FOR PRIOR TRAINING OR EDUCATION Course credit may be awarded for military training, military experience or corporate courses where appropriate. The student must:

1. have made application to Albany Technical College, 2. provide the Registrar or program instructor a transcript or certificate of completion that would indicate that the

education or training in question has been successfully completed. When appropriate, the program instructor will complete an evaluation of military experience or prior education or training and recommend to the Registrar that the course or training be accepted for credit in the field of study. The hours will not be computed in the grade average. Credit for prior training or experience will be identified as EX on the official transcript. Credit for prior training, military experience, or training courses over 10 years old may be approved upon the recommendation to the Registrar by the program instructor and/or director. PROGRAM TRANSFER CREDIT Program transfer students who transfer from one program to another program within the institution will be given full credit for all courses common to both programs. The procedure for a transfer to another program is as follows: Student must fill out a “Change of Program/Re-admission Form”, available in the Admissions Office. All admission requirements for the new program must have been met. The change must be approved by the Director of Admissions in order for the change to be official. HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS High school students who are at least 16 years of age and are juniors or seniors may enroll at ATC through the following enrollment options: Accel, Tech Prep, Dual Enrollment, and Joint Enrollment. The student must present an advisement form, signed by the appropriate high school official, listing courses approved to meet high school graduation requirements and identifying the enrollment option. Financial aid may be available for high school students. ACCEL PROGRAM

• Effective Fall term 2004. • The state-funded Postsecondary Options Program, administered by the Georgia Department of Education, has been

discontinued. The Accel Program was created by the 2004 Georgia General Assembly to serve a similar purpose for eligible high school students enrolled in college degree-level courses.

Award and Course Eligibility

• Beginning Fall term 2004, dual credit students who are simultaneously enrolled at an eligible public Georgia high school and an eligible Georgia public or private postsecondary institution, taking college degree-level courses, can receive an Accel Program award.

• Student at eligible private Georgia high schools can receive an Accel Program award beginning Winter/Spring term 2005, when the program will expand to include dual credit students who are simultaneously enrolled at an eligible

18

public or private Georgia high school and an eligible Georgia public or private postsecondary institution, taking college degree-level course.

• Beginning Winter/Spring term 2005, Accel funding will apply only to the five CPC areas (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science and Foreign Language). However, for Fall term 2004, college course work traditionally approved for Postsecondary Options funding will be paid for by the Accel Program.

• Georgia residency and U.S. Citizenship for HOPE Program eligibility apply to Accel award eligibility as well. Residency and citizenship eligibility will be determined by the participating postsecondary institution.

Award Amounts

• For students attending public postsecondary institutions, the award amount for Accel is the same as for the HOPE Scholarship Program (tuition, HOPE-approved mandatory fees, and a book allowance).

• For students attending private postsecondary institutions, the award amount for Accel is the same as for the HOPE Scholarship Program ($3,000 per academic year). Pro-rated based on the number of hours enrolled.

Program Limits

• High school students enrolled in technical certificate/diploma programs, will continue to be eligible for the HOPE Grant, rather that the Accel Program. Beginning Fall term 2004, hours for which HOPE Grant payment was received must be counted in the HOPE Grant Paid-Hours (63 semester/95 quarters) and the Combined Paid-Hours (127 semesters/190 quarters) limits.

• All hours paid for by Accel will be included in the Combined Paid-Hours (127 semesters/190 quarters) limit, which includes payments from the HOPE Scholarship, HOPE Grant, and Accel Programs.

TECH PREP PROGRAM Certain courses taken at the high school level can be articulated toward a diploma, degree or certificate program at ATC. To receive Tech Prep credit at the technical college, the student must meet the institution’s admissions requirements and have a properly completed Tech Prep agreement. Credit must be awarded from the secondary school within 18 months of graduation. SECONDARY ARTICULATION (TECH PREP) DTAE has established statewide articulation plans for some programs. Formal written articulation agreements have been established with interested area high schools that give credit based on competencies achieved in selected high school courses. The articulated credit is available to students who pass a postsecondary validation test with at least a 70. The test is free to Tech Prep students. In order to test, a student cannot be enrolled in that particular course. ATC’s Tech Prep coordinator may be reached at 430-1972. DUAL ENROLLMENT Students can take certain courses and receive high school and ATC credit simultaneously. The student must provide documentation from the high school indicating which ATC courses will fulfill high school graduation requirements. Dual enrolled students must meet all requirements for admissions at ATC with the exception of having achieved a high school diploma. Upon successful completion of the courses, the student receives credit toward completion of high school and ATC graduation requirements. Dual Enrollment HOPE funds pay for the student’s, tuition fees and a portion of the book cost. JOINT ENROLLMENT This program is for high school students who take post-secondary courses for post-secondary credit only. HOPE funds pay for tuition, fees and a portion of the books.

FINANCIAL AID FUND DISBURSEMENTS Financial Aid funds are disbursed to the student account based on the following schedule: Funds Disbursed to Account Refunds Mailed Hope Grant and Scholarship During Registration During the 4th and 5th week of term Hope GED and LEAP 30 days after term starts During the 6th week of term All Federal Aid 6th week of term During the 8th week of term This schedule only applies for those students whose files are complete. Incomplete files will alter the disbursement and refund schedule. WITHDRAWALS AND FINANCIAL AID Any student receiving financial aid must report to the Financial Aid Office upon withdrawal from school. Financial aid adjustment/payments must be calculated according to federal and state regulations. RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS Department of Education regulations require the unearned portion of Title IV funds (Pell Grant, FSEOG) be returned if a student withdraws from school before the 60% attendance point in the quarter. If the student withdraws before this point, the award will be adjusted as follows. Example: The quarter is 72 days in length. The student withdraws on the 20th day. The student’s Pell grant award is equal to $825.00. The award would be adjusted to 20/72 X 825 = $229.00. (Student’s adjusted Pell grant award) LOSS OF TITLE ELIGIBILITY Students may not take over 50% of their class work online without losing their financial aid eligibility with Title IV funds (Pell Grant, FSEOG). FINANCIAL AID AND SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) Financial Aid recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible to receive Student Financial Aid funds. Satisfactory Academic Progress means the student is proceeding in a positive manner toward fulfilling educational requirements. Students attending ATC must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress as stated below. GRADE POINT AVERAGE (SAP) Students must maintain a quarterly GPA of 2.0 or higher, on a 4.0 scale. If a student’s GPA falls below the minimum, their financial aid is endangered. A student will be put on probation for the quarter following the term the student fails to earn a 2.0 GPA. The student has the next quarter of attendance to earn the minimum GPA. The student may receive financial aid while on probation or during the probationary quarter. At the end of the probationary period, if the student’s GPA is a 2.0 or higher the student will be taken off probation. If the 2.0 GPA is not achieved, then they will be put on suspension during the following quarter. The student will not receive financial aid while on suspension.

22

Total hours attempted consist of all hours attempted at ATC. Transfer credits are not included in the computation of the quarter GPA for financial aid, but is considered when determining a student’s HOPE eligibility. COMPLETION RATE (SAP) Students must complete 66 percent of course work attempted quarterly. Failure to complete this minimum percentage will result in a student being placed on probation during the following quarter of attendance. If the student completes 66 percent of the coursework attempted during the probationary quarter, then the student will be taken off probation. If the student completes less than 66 percent during the probationary quarter, then they will be placed on suspension during the next quarter. WITHDRAWALS/INCOMPLETES/DEVELOPMENTAL (SAP) Grades of IP, W, and WP are not included in calculating a student’s GPA, but are counted as coursework attempted. WF is counted as an F. A grade of S will considered satisfactory completion of a developmental course. A grade of U will be considered unsatisfactory. Grades received for developmental courses do not affect the GPA, but the hours are calculated in the 66 percent of hours attempted completion rate. All grade changes must be submitted and processed during the first 10 days of classes of the following term. MAXIMUM TIME FRAME (SAP) All students must complete their educational objective within a maximum period of one and one half (150 percent) times the length of the program in which they are enrolled. This means that once a student has attempted one and one half times the minimum number of credit hours required for graduation in the program enrolled, the student will be ineligible to receive financial aid. TRANSIENT AND TRANSFER STUDENTS Transient students must be in good academic standing from their parent institution in order to be eligible for financial aid at Albany Technical College. Students transferring from one program to another at this institution will continue to carry their GPA from one program to another for financial aid purposes and all credits and grades will count in the cumulative GPA requirements. Transfer students not previously enrolled at Albany Technical College will be classified as maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress for the first quarter enrolled. At the end of the first quarter, the student’s grades will be measured in accordance with the college’s Satisfactory Academic requirements. Students who previously attended Albany Technical College, transferred to another school, then returned to ATC, will have all of their coursework reviewed. TERMINATION OF FINANCIAL AID Financial aid will be terminated when a student is determined by the Financial Aid Office to be ineligible, if the office has evidence that the student has falsified information on the application materials, or if federal or state funds are not provided to meet the award. SAP FINANCIAL AID SUSPENSION Once a student is on financial aid suspension, the student must pay for the next attending quarter at his or her own expense. Once the student has successfully completed the quarter (2.0 quarter GPA, complete 66% of the hours attempted, and have not completed 150% of the hours needed for the program), the student financial aid will be reinstated for future terms. If a student is not notified of the suspension, that in itself does not excuse a student from the financial aid suspension, nor does it exempt a student from appealing in a timely manner. SAP APPEALS PROCESS Students have the right to appeal their suspension of financial aid if they have mitigating circumstances that prevented them from making satisfactory academic progress. A student wishing to appeal financial aid suspension must do so in writing with supportive documentation, when possible. The written appeal must be attached to the Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension form. The form may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office or the financial aid website. The appeal form must be submitted within five days from the end of the quarter in which the student was suspended. Failure to adhere to this time line will result in the student losing the right to appeal the suspension. The SAP Appeals Committee will meet to review appeals. The Office of Financial Aid will notify the student of the committee’s decision. The committee’s decision is final. REINSTATEMENT OF AID A student who has been terminated from aid due to a lack of satisfactory academic progress must pay for credit hours attempted for the term when the student returns, and must meet satisfactory academic progress requirements to be eligible to receive any further financial aid. LEARNING SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL AID Students who are enrolled only in Learning Support classes are not eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant or other Title IV Federal Financial Aid. A student may receive Title IV Federal Financial Aid while enrolled as a provisionally admitted student. The HOPE Grant will pay for learning support courses as a requirement for the completion of a diploma or certificate program. TUITION REFUNDS A percentage of the tuition paid by a student shall be refunded if the student formally withdraws within seven calendar days following the first day or evening of class. Pre-registered students may receive a full refund of all tuition paid provided they cancel before the beginning day of the quarter. Once a student completes the process for dropping class (es), the Business Office

23

determines if he or she is due a refund. Students should allow a minimum of two weeks for the refund to be processed. Beginning the first day of class, only tuition may be refunded. Refunds of Tuition payments are made as follows:

Time of Formal Withdrawal Amount Refunded

Within seven consecutive calendar days, including holidays, beginning with the 1st class day for any quarter. Refund may be 75% of tuition paid.

After seven consecutive calendar days, including holidays, beginning with the 1st day of evening or day classes for any quarter. No refund of tuition is given.

REFUND OF BOOKS AND SUPPLIES Refunds will be made for books that are returned in new, re-saleable condition with no marks, no writing, unsoiled, and accompanied by a receipt. No refunds will be made for used books (i. e. cosmetology kits, diskettes, tools, uniforms, etc.) Books must be returned within the first 3 weeks of class for refunds/exchanges to be granted.

GRADING SYSTEM

Grades are posted online and can be accessed at www.albanytech.edu . A grade of "C" or better is required in all courses for graduation. CREDIT PROGRAMS:

Grade Numerical Equivalent Grade Points A 90-100% 4 B 80-89% 3 C 70-79% 2 D 60-69% 1 F 0-59% 0

LEARNING SUPPORT:

Grade Numerical Equivalent A* 90-100% B* 80-89% C* 70-79% D* 60-69% F* 0-59%

The following symbols are approved for use in the cases indicated. They are not included in the calculation of the quarterly average. I — This indicates that a student has an "incomplete" but has satisfactorily completed a substantial portion of the coursework. However, for non-academic reasons beyond control, the student has not been able to complete some specific part or amount of the work required. An "I" must be satisfactorily changed to a letter grade within 10 school days of the next quarter or it will be changed to the grade of "F”. The student must get approval from the instructor before the end of the quarter to be eligible for an "I" grade. No credit is given and no grade points are calculated. IP — This indicates that a student is "in progress" in a course that requires coursework beyond the present quarter. The "IP" may not be used to defer grade reporting. Credit is given and grade points are calculated only during the quarter of coursework completion. A grade of “IP” is not included in calculating the grade point average but is counted as coursework attempted. W— This is awarded to a student who withdraws from a course before the 25th class day of the quarter, whether the work is passing or failing. No credit is given and no grade points are calculated. A grade of “W” is not included in calculating the grade point average but is counted as coursework attempted. See SAPP under Financial Aid for results against financial aid for withdrawing from a course. WF — Students who drop a course(s) or withdraw from school after the mid-point of a quarter (or course) and are failing will receive a grade of "WF" (Withdrew Failing) for all courses involved. See SAPP under Financial Aid for results against financial aid for withdrawing from a course. WP — Students who drop a course or withdraw from school after the 25th class day and are passing may receive a grade of WP (withdrew passing) for all courses dropped in the case of hardship as determined by the vice president of instruction or a designated representative. Verification of hardship will be required when the request is made or a "WF" will be assigned and calculated in the grade point average as an "F”. The documentation must be submitted with the request. A grade of “WP” is not

24

included in calculating the grade point average but is counted as coursework attempted. See SAPP under Financial Aid for results against financial aid for withdrawing from a course. Letter grade* — This indicates performance in a class for which institutional or continuing education credit is normally awarded. EX — This indicates that a student has exempted a course through examination. Credit is given but grade points are not calculated. TR — This indicates that a student has been awarded transfer credit from another institution. Credit is given but no grade points are calculated. The official transcript from the previous post-secondary institution must be received before the student registering for the class and grades must be a "C" or better. Once the student has enrolled in a particular class, transfer credit will not be granted. AU — This indicates an audited course. No grade is given, no credit hours are earned and grade points are not calculated. AC —Advanced Placement/Articulated Credit may be awarded for high school coursework/Tech Prep completed under formal articulation agreements when established competencies have been achieved. A grade of AC will be given for the course(s). Credit is given but no grade points are calculated. (The official transcript from the previous secondary institution must be received before the student registers for the class and grades must be an 85 or better.) Credit must be awarded from the secondary school within 18 months of graduation. Once the student has enrolled in a particular class, transfer credit will not be granted. Grade Point Averages The formula to calculate grade point average is: Credit Hours x Grade Point Equivalent = Total Points Example: Grade Point Equivalents

Grade point equivalent Credit hours Quality points A grade of 96= (4. 0) x 2.0 8.0 A grade of 80= (3. 0) x 5.0 15.0 A grade of 71= (2. 0) x 4.0 8.0 A grade of 65= (1. 0) x 5.0 5.0 Total 16.0 36.0

Total all credit hours. Divide quality points by total credit hours to equal grade point average. For example: 36 divided by 16 = 2.25 GPA. Graduation Grade Point Average 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. ) A 2.0 GPA is needed for graduation. The Quarterly Grade Point Average is that average calculated based on all credit courses taken each quarter. The quarterly grade point average is used for determining the President's List. A student must be enrolled in 12 or more credit hours and earn a 4.0 quarterly grade point average to be on the President's List. The Cumulative Grade Point Average is that grade point average calculated on all attempts at all credit courses taken at the institution. It is recalculated after each quarter to include the current quarter's grades. Neither transfer credit (from another institution) nor exemption credit (earned at Albany Technical College) is calculated in the GPA. Work ethics grades are not used in calculating GPA. WORK ETHICS A work ethics grade (0, 1, 2, or 3) is given each quarter for all credit courses. The quarterly work ethics grades do not affect the academic grades. Work ethics grades will be recorded on the transcripts. The work ethics grade is designed to evaluate and to encourage good work habits. Performance factors and indicators include, but are not limited to, quality of work, ability to follow instructions, productivity, dependability, honesty, reliability, attendance and punctuality, attitude, integrity, enthusiasm, interpersonal skills and initiative. QUARTERLY PRESIDENT’S LIST Students enrolled for 12 or more credit hours and earning a 4.0 average for that quarter's work will have their names published on the President's List. REPEATING A COURSE When a course is taken more than once, the final grade will be used in calculating the grade point average for graduation. PREREQUISITE COURSES A student cannot enroll in a course if he/she has failed the prerequisite for that same course. COURSE ADJUSTMENTS

25

A course adjustment is any change to a student’s registered course schedule, including any of the following: changing a credit option, adding a class, dropping a class, or withdrawing from a program. Depending on the student’s course load, adding a course may result in a tuition increase. The deadlines for processing specific course adjustments are stated in the Schedule of Classes. During the official add period (the fifth class day) a student may add courses. After the add period, students may not add additional courses; however, they may withdraw from a course(s) with a "W" grade and no academic penalty through the 25th class day. The "W" grade is not included in the calculation of the student's grade point average. Students who drop a course or withdraw from school after the 25th class day and are passing may receive a grade of WP (withdrew passing) for all courses dropped in the case of hardship as determined by the vice president of instruction or a designated representative. Failure to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal. WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURE To withdraw from Albany Technical College, you should complete the following steps:

1. See the instructor for each course in which the student is enrolled to complete the process for dropping the course. 2. If receiving financial aid, the student should advise the financial aid office of their intent to withdraw from school.

ACADEMIC PROBATION A student who fails to maintain a 2.0 grade point average in a particular program may be placed on academic probation. The student will be removed from probation by completing the probation quarter with a passing average. Academic probation is noted on the student transcript. ACADEMIC SUSPENSION Failure to maintain a 2.0 grade point average and to successfully complete the probation quarter will result in a student being on academic suspension for one quarter. When the student returns after the one quarter of academic suspension, he or she remains on probation and must successfully complete that quarter with a 2.0 to return to good standing. Failure to do so will result in academic suspension for two consecutive quarters. The student will be notified in writing by the Registrar’s Office. A student may appeal the suspension or dismissal by filing an Academic Appeals Request form with the Vice President of Instructional Services within two weeks from the date of learning or reasonably should have learned of the suspension or dismissal grade. ATTENDANCE Students are expected to be punctual and to attend all classes for which they are registered. Instructors will keep an accurate record of class attendance. Class attendance is calculated from the first officially scheduled class meeting through the last scheduled meeting. Students may not miss more than 10 percent of the scheduled class time. If a student misses more than 10 percent of the class time, the instructor can recommend that the student be dropped from the class , through the 34th day of class. Students will not be dropped for lack of attendance during the last 15 days of class. The student has earned the right to a letter grade at this point and under the satisfactory academic progress policy, a WF is counted as an F. Any student arriving late for class or leaving early before the scheduled ending time will be marked tardy. Three tardies are equivalent to one absence from class. NOTE: Special attendance policies may be required for some programs. Students anticipating an absence or tardiness should contact the instructor in advance. If a student misses class, they should (a) provide the instructor with appropriate documentation indicating the reason for absences; (b) request make-up assignments from instructor(s) upon returning to class (es); and (c) complete make-up work within a reasonable length of time. EXCUSED ABSENCES The following are considered excusable provided documentation is shown to the instructor on return to school: Personal illness (physician’s excuse) Serious illness or injury to a member of the immediate family (physician’s statement) Death in family Military duty (military orders) Jury duty (copy of summons) An excused absence allows your instructor to work with you to complete missed assignments and/or tests. An excused absence is considered part of the 10% of allowed absences from a class. "NO-SHOW" ATTENDANCE POLICY The definition of a "no-show" is a student who is registered for a class and meets one of the following criteria: Does not attend the first three class sessions of any course that meets daily. Does not attend the first two class sessions of a course that meets twice a week. Does not attend the first class session of a course that meets once a week.

26

Any student reported as a "no-show" by an instructor will be administratively withdrawn from that class and will not be eligible for reinstatement in the current quarter. Absences from class due to financial aid or non-payment count toward the 10% of allowed class absences. MAKE-UP WORK Except in cases of extended absences, students must make up work missed during an excused absence within five days or according to a plan devised by the instructor. ASSIGNMENTS MISSED DURING DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION When a student is suspended for disciplinary reasons, the student will be allowed to make up assignments and tests. It is the student's responsibility to schedule all make-up work at the convenience of the instructor. POLICIES FOR HEALTH PROGRAMS A student may not repeat a core or program course that he/she has failed or withdrawn from more than once. This includes withdrawal from a course before midterm. Any student who withdraws or fails a course twice will be automatically dropped from the program. A student who withdraws or fails a course for the second time cannot reenter a health program. Any student in good standing who withdraws from the program must re-enter within six months, with the exception of Radiologic Technology, which admits yearly. Readmits beyond the established timelines must repeat all program course work with the exception of core. PHYSICAL FORMS AND REPORTS Documentation of physical examinations and immunization records are required before the beginning of the clinical/laboratory phase of training in certain programs as determined by state standards. This documentation is not required for admission to ATC or to a program of study. APPEALS PROCEDURES FOR RE-ENTRY INTO HEALTH PROGRAMS Students who were dropped from a health program because of failure or withdrawal can appeal for re-entry. The student must submit a written appeal to the director of the Division of Health Care Technology in order to make exceptions in extreme circumstances. The program instructor must recommend this appeal. A committee composed of instructors and the director from the health care technology division will hear appeals and determine re-entry status.

GRADUATION POLICY

Graduation exercises are scheduled in the spring and fall. All certificate, diploma, and degree students must achieve regular admission status before applying for graduation. Each student must submit an application for graduation to the office of the ATC registrar two quarters before program completion. Once the application is received, the Registrar will perform a graduation audit to determine graduation status. Student activity fees cover graduation costs. Only those students participating in the graduation ceremony will receive a diploma cover. Diploma covers are available for purchase in the Registrar’s Office for $10.00 each for those students not participating or those that would like more than one. In order to be eligible for graduation, each student must satisfactorily complete the program of study as outlined in the state standards. A grade point average of at least 2.0 is required for graduation. Upon request to the registrar, a student may receive a copy of their official transcript and a letter of completion. RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION To receive a credential from Albany Tech, it is required that a student completes a minimum of 50 percent of the course-work of a particular program from Albany Technical College. However, the 50% requirement may be waived if the student has completed a program for which standards have been implemented with the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education system. FORFEITURE OF CREDIT By registering for a course for which the student has already received credit, a student forfeits the previous credit in that course for graduation purposes. The student's official grade in the course will be the second one earned. Although both grades remain on the record and are computed in the quality point average, only the final attempt will be calculated for the purpose of graduation requirements. DIPLOMA REPRINTS The first diploma is provided at no cost. A fee of $20.00 will be charged for each additional reprint.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CANCELLATION OF CLASSES DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER Cancellation of classes due to inclement weather will be determined by the President or designee and announced through the local media. EATING FACILITIES For the convenience of students, snack bars and vending machines are located in designated buildings. STUDENT’S ROLE AND PARTICIPATION IN INSTITUTIONAL DECISION MAKING The Student Government Association (SGA) at Albany Technical College is the official governing body of the students and acts as an intermediary between students, faculty, and administration. The SGA is the primary avenue by which students can affect College policy and participate in institutional decision-making. Official recommendations by students regarding the policies, rules, and regulations of the college are made to the Student Government Advisor directly or through the Student Government Association. The recommendations are forwarded to the Senior Management Team for assignment to the appropriate cross-functional team or administrator. The Student Government Advisor nominates the students to be appointed to serve on standing committees, such as parking, library/media services, and student discipline. The Student Government Advisor nominates students to meet with the President quarterly to discuss current issues, provide input in the operations of the College, and provide insight on students’ points of view regarding College concerns. Students can request special open meetings with the President or the Senior Management team on issues or concerns; meetings are scheduled from the President’s office. The Student Government Association oversees the allocation of student activities, fees, and monies received from vending machines, pay phones, club funds, and fundraisers. Students also contribute to decision making through input they give on surveys and evaluations such as Course Exit, Student Satisfaction and Awareness, Graduate Follow-up, Library/Media, and Distance Learning. HIV/AIDS Since there is no evidence of non-sexual/non-blood-related transmission of the T-lymph tropic III, human immunodeficiency virus HTLV-III (HIV), students and employees will not be excluded from the College in the absence of other contraindications. The confidentiality of information and records regarding AIDS or illnesses will be preserved.

NOTICE OF CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK REQUIREMENTS The state of Georgia has a law regarding the placement of persons with criminal records in certain childcare, pharmaceutical, and medical facilities. According to the Department of Human Resources (DHR), anyone who has been convicted of a felony offense, or of neglecting or abusing a dependent person, a sexual offense or any other “covered crime” will not be allowed to work in certain facilities in these fields as a student, student intern, co-op student, or paid employee. The following programs are affected

28

by this law: Early Childhood Care and Education, Pharmacy Technology, and Practical Nursing. A satisfactory determination on the criminal records check is not a requirement for program admission. However, a satisfactory records check must be documented before a student can be placed in any clinical, practicum, lab, or internship settings that are a part of Early Childhood Care and Education, Practical Nursing, and Pharmacy Technology programs. Criminal record checks are obtained from the Department of Human Resources (DHR) and local law enforcement agencies. The record checks obtained from DHR are marked satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Criminal record checks obtained from law enforcement list any known offense that may have to be interpreted by DHR in accordance with DHR regulations. If an offense on the criminal records check shows up as a covered crime as designated by DHR, the report is unsatisfactory. Albany Technical College reserves the right to require a student to obtain a criminal history check at any time during enrollment at the college. Criminal records checks are good for a 12 month period and it is the student’s responsibility to keep the record current. Because this portion of a student’s record is neither permanent nor educational, the criminal records checks will be maintained in the program department files. Please see your program department chair for any specifics policy requirements for your program. Criminal records check files may be discarded after a few years.

PARKING GUIDE PARKING The authority for administering and enforcing traffic and parking regulations on the Albany Technical College campus rests with the Campus Operations Department. The administration reserves the authority to make changes as needed in parking areas, traffic flow, and other changes as related to traffic conditions. The purpose of these regulations is to facilitate safety, maintain orderly conduct of the college's business and to provide parking facilities in support of this function within the limits of available space. These regulations are intended only to supplement the State of Georgia Motor Vehicle Laws, all provisions of which apply to this campus. These rules and regulations apply to all vehicles, which are self-propelled. The owner or person to whom the vehicle is registered is ultimately responsible for the safe operation and proper parking of the vehicle, regardless of who the operator may be. "ATC shall have no responsibility for loss or damage to any vehicle or its contents while operated or parked on college property. " WHO MUST REGISTER THEIR MOTOR VEHICLE? Each student (including full-time, part-time, evening) taking courses, and each member of the faculty, staff and administration of Albany Technical College must register any motor driven vehicle operated on campus. During the first five (5) days of each quarter, it is expected for decals to be obtained and properly displayed. TO REGISTER A MOTOR VEHICLE: Vehicles may be registered during the official days of registration at the beginning of each quarter either in Registration or at the Campus Operations Office. A vehicle registration card will be provided at the time of registration. All motor vehicles operated by students in connection with their attendance at Albany Technical College must properly display the required current decal. Parking Guides are available in the Campus Operations Office or in the Business Office where decals can be purchased. To secure an ATC parking permit the following information is required at the time of registration:

1. State license number 2. Descriptive vehicle information (year, model and color) 3. Drivers license number 4. Date of birth and social security number 5. Address (present and home) 6. Valid registration schedule

VEHICLES

Fall Quarter Winter Quarter Spring Quarter Students $6.00 Students $4.00 Students $2.00

2. Decals are non-transferable and must be removed before the sale of the vehicle. 3. In order for a registered vehicle to be in compliance, the cling parking decal must be affixed to the inside of the back

windshield on the driver's side. The use of tape or any other adhesive to secure the decal is prohibited. Violators will be cited.

4. Parking decals allow the operator to park only in specified parking areas during the hours of 7:00 a. m. - 10:00 p. m. daily during scheduled classes and examinations. Parking is relaxed on weekends with the exception of ADA and yellow-curbed areas, which will be strictly enforced.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES MINOR INCIDENTS: A minor incident is not life threatening nor does it pose a serious danger. Examples are tardiness, unprofessional behavior, or failure to dress appropriately. A pattern of minor incidents can increase the severity of incidents to the status of a major incident. Minor incidents will be handled at the director/evening administrator level. MAJOR INCIDENTS: A major incident has the potential of posing a serious threat to life and property and/or is inclusive of exhibiting unethical or dishonest behavior. Examples of major incidents are threatening behaviors, being under the influence of drugs and alcohol, forging signatures on official documentation, cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty, or behaviors that inhibit safe practices. Major incidents will be handled at the VP of Student Services (VPSS) level. Incident reports documenting major incidents of student conduct are submitted in writing to the vice president of student services who will conduct an investigation of the allegations. After investigation, incidents that cannot be resolved by the VPSS will be referred to the Disciplinary Hearing Committee for resolution. The Hearing Committee determines if there has been a violation of the Code of Student Conduct and submits a written report to the VPSS within five (5) business days. The VPSS reviews the findings, determines the appropriate sanction(s), and provides written notice of the decision to the Hearing Committee, the referring party, and the student. The student may appeal the sanction(s) in writing to the College’s president within five (5) working days from notice of the sanction(s). Deviation from the disciplinary procedures will not invalidate a finding or sanction, unless it can be determined that the deviation affected the results of the hearing. Disciplinary referrals will be dealt with on an individual basis, considering all of the facts and the impact of the conduct on other students, staff, faculty, and the community.

STUDENT COMPLAINT RESOLUTION

PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING HARASSMENT AND/OR DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT Albany Technical College’s Right of Freedom from Harassment Policy has the goal of providing an environment that supports students so that they may realize their full potential. Albany Technical College values all diverse backgrounds, experiences, special abilities and characteristics that students bring to the College. Harassment is a form of unlawful discrimination, whether it is based on race, religion, age, color, sex, national origin, disability, sexual identity, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable state or federal law. Albany Technical College does not tolerate unlawful harassment in any place of work, instruction, study or recreation.

RECOGNIZING SEXUAL HARASSMENT Sexual harassment is one form of sex discrimination and is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: 1. Submission to such conduct is either implicitly or explicitly made a requirement of

employment or participation in an academic program or activity; or 2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for

employment or education-related decisions affecting such individual; or 3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work

or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. Sexual harassment may involve someone in authority but can also involve a fellow student or co-worker. Sexual harassment may include:

telling sexual jokes, making unwelcome sexual advances, making sexual gestures, subjecting someone to unwanted sexual attention, attempting to coerce someone into a sexual relationship, punishing or threatening to punish someone for refusal to comply, and/or

39

implying that sexual favors may be a basis for performance evaluation or for grades in a course.

RESPONDING TO COMPLAINTS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT

When you feel you have been harassed it is important to remember that there are supportive people at ATC who are resources for discussing and helping to clarify what constitutes harassment and the action steps you can take. It is important to take action. Students may raise complaints of discrimination or sexual harassment through the Vice President of Administration. All complaints of alleged harassment or discrimination are taken seriously. Students are not required to discuss the complaint informally with the alleged perpetrator. You will be asked to describe your specific complaint and how the situation developed, and to note any action you have already taken to resolve the situation.

Although the complaint process is confidential your complaint may be disclosed to the person(s) involved in the allegation. All complaints will be investigated and addressed in a timely manner.

NO RETALIATION FOR FILING A COMPLAINT IN GOOD FAITH No student shall be expelled, suspended, disciplined or in any other way retaliated against for having filed a complaint in good faith or about possible violations of law and/or ATC policy whether or not the charges were sustained. Willfully false accusations of harassment are as serious a matter as unlawful harassment itself and anyone willfully filing a false complaint is subject to discipline. The Vice President of Administration or the designee shall, within 15 College working days after the first receipt of the complaint, cause an investigation to be made. During the investigation the Vice President or designee shall meet separately with the different parties who may, if they desire, have a representative with them.
