22 ABOUT ATLANTA TECHNICAL COLLEGE Atlanta Technical College is a postsecondary college under the governance of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG). As one of 25 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 the Atlanta Braves baseball team, the Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Dream basketball teams, and the Atlanta Falcons football team. Facilities The largest single-site campus in the Technical College System of Georgia, Atlanta Technical College occupies a 46-acre campus on Metropolitan Parkway. Quality technical education requires laboratory facilities comparable to workplaces in business and industry. An annual budget of more than $24 million keeps the educational 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, Atlanta Technical 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 1953, the Northside extension campus, Tuxedo Center, was opened at 4191 Northside Drive in northwest Atlanta. 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 The Child Care Center and Ferguson Hall Annex were completed the same year. In 1997, the school's name was changed to Atlanta Technical Institute, and the institution became part of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education. Dr. Brenda Watts Jones was tapped to become president, making her the first African-American woman in Georgia to lead a technical institution. She served the college until 2007, and Dr. Alvetta Peterman Thomas was named president in In June 1999, Atlanta Technical Institute completed a $1.3 million renovation of its south entrance facade. The renovation provided covered walks and outdoor seating plazas. On July 1, 2000, the name was changed to Atlanta Technical College. In 2007, the college acquired use of the property at 1520 Metropolitan Parkway, adjacent to main campus, through the Atlanta Technical College Foundation, Inc. The facility at that location currently houses the Atlanta Technical College Institute for Males. The $14 million Brenda Watts Jones Allied Health and Technology Complex opened in the fall of In August 2012, the college completed a $4.8 million renovation of a new 36,000 square foot state-of-the-art library, testing center, and facility department hub. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and with an average semester enrollment of 4,800 students, Atlanta Tech offers associate degrees, diploma programs, technical certificates of credit, and continuing education short-term courses. In addition to day and evening class schedules, hybrid schedules and online courses are also offered.

GOAL is the highest award given to outstanding technical students in Georgia. In addition to having an excellent track record in producing winners in state competitions, Atlanta Technical College is proud of the students who also excel in regional and national competitions representing student associations and organizations. In 2007, Washington Monthly magazine named Atlanta Technical College America s Best Community College and the college was recognized by the Technical College System of Georgia with the Perdue Award for Technical College of the Year in Atlanta Technical College provides an exceptional education to a diverse group of students, representing ethnic groups from around the world, younger and older people, high school and college graduates, persons with special needs, and persons with varied backgrounds, academic requirements, and interests. Women are enrolled in nontraditional programs such as automotive technology, aviation maintenance technology, carpentry, and welding and joining technology. 21

37 Financial Aid and Fees FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY THE COLLEGE FEDERAL AND STATE FINANCIAL 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.

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 Award amounts vary based on individual need as determined by federal methodology and credit hours each semester. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) This federal program is designed to supplement the grant assistance awarded to the neediest 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. Normally employed in departments on campus, FWS students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or greater. FWS offers student employees opportunity for financial assistance, exposure to real work experiences, development of positive work ethics and time management skills. 36

38 Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship Program There are currently 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, all hours for which a student received HOPE Grant payment, retroactive to summer semester 2003, are counted as Paid-Hours. Recipients are eligible for a maximum of 63 semester hours of HOPE Grant payment. Effective fall semester 2013, HOPE Grant recipients must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or greater at the required check points (30 and 60 semester hours) to continue receiving funding. 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 with this distinguished honor or students who are grandfathered into the program after attempting a minimum of 30 associate or baccalaureate degree semester hours with a 3.0 or greater cumulative GPA at the required checkpoints. HOPE Scholarship applicants must complete an ATC HOPE Scholarship Application. The attempted hours limit is 127 semester hours. HOPE Scholarship recipients must have graduated from high school within the past seven years or received HOPE scholarship funding prior to summer semester Students become ineligible for HOPE scholarship seven years after the date they graduated high school or equivalent. Students who received a HOPE scholarship payment during the award year will remain eligible through June 20, 2015, regardless of graduation date. Active duty military service time does not count against the seven-year period. Students can only regain the HOPE scholarship one time. Combined HOPE Grant and Scholarship Limit: In addition to the HOPE Grant paid hours limit and the attempted HOPE Scholarship paid hours limit, there is a combined limit of 127 semester hours. If the student reaches the combined limit prior to reaching the Grant or Scholarship paid hours limit, said student will no longer qualify for Grant or Scholarship assistance. Effective fall 2013, the HOPE Grant and Scholarship award amount is equivalent to % of the cost of tuition each semester that the student is eligible to receive funding. This maximum award amount is subject to change pursuant to guidelines issued by the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC). Zell Miller Scholarship covers 100% of tuition for students who are the Valedictorian or Salutatorian for their graduating class or received a score of at least 1,200 combined critical reading score and math score on a single administration of the SAT or an ACT composite scale score of at least 26 and graduated from high school with at least a 3.7 calculated GPA. Students must be enrolled in a degree program, and must have a 3.3 GPA at all checkpoints (30, 60 and 90 semester hours), at the end of spring and at the end of 3 term checkpoint for part time, beginning students. Students who lose eligibility may possibly regain the scholarship once. Students who lose eligibility for the Zell Miller Scholarship may continue to receive the HOPE scholarship if they are eligible. Degree classes taken at any post-secondary institution are counted in the GPA calculation. Georgia HERO Scholarship The Georgia HERO (Helping Educate Reservists and their Offspring) Scholarship Program was created to provide financial aid to students seeking a postsecondary education, who are current members of the Georgia National Guard and United States Military Reserves (or their children) who were deployed overseas on active service, on or after February 1, 2003, to a location designated as a combat zone; It is also available for spouses if the guard or reservist was killed in the combat zone, or died as a result of injuries received in the combat zone, or sustained 100 percent disability in the combat zone, or became 100 percent disabled as a result of injuries received in the combat zone.

39 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 (exception: student loans) 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 is also be used to determine if the student qualifies for state aid. Atlanta Tech s school code, , must be reported on the FAFSA. If requested, applicants must also be prepared to submit copies of certain financial documents (IRS tax return transcripts, verification of SNAP, 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 April 1 st 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 semester deadline dates: Fall Semester ~ June 15 Spring Semester ~ November 15 Summer Semester ~ April 15 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 all institution to check SAP at least once per academic year. At Atlanta Tech, if the student drops below the minimum requirements in either component, the student will be given aid for one semester on warning. If at the end of the warning semester, the student is still below the minimum requirements, his/her financial aid will be suspended until such time as he/she regains eligibility without the assistance of federal or state financial aid. Exception 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 response within two weeks from the date the appeal was received in the Financial Aid Office. Pursuant to federal regulations, if an appeal is approved and it is anticipated that the student can regain eligibility after one semester, he/she will be granted one semester of aid on probation. If the appeal is approved and it is determined that the student cannot regain eligibility after one term, the student s appeal will be approved on a semester by semester basis. Semester by semester approvals will require the student to complete and pass all attempted hours on probation in order to receive aid on probation in subsequent semesters. Should the student not complete and pass all attempted hours prior to regaining eligibility, the student s financial aid will be suspended. 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. 38

40 Recipients must notify the aid office in writing if their financial circumstances change (change or loss of employment, change in dependents, etc.). The Verification Process The Department of Education selects 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 specific items which may include those shown below. Students applying for assistance for the academic year are required to provide documentation for the 2012 base year and sometimes the current year (2013). 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: SNAP, 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 Students may contact the Internal Revenue Service at to request transcripts and/or Non-Filing Status Letters. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES Students (and or the parents of dependent students) who experience changes (loss of employment, change in dependents, etc.) in their financial circumstances, should notify their Financial Aid Office in writing. Documentation is often required, but this could result in an increase in funding. 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. 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 , and students whose last name is K-Z should call Communicating with Students At ATC, we have found that the most effective means of communicating with students is via . Students may provide their address on their FAFSA or other documentation submitted to the Financial Aid Office. As a courtesy, students are also given an ATC student address. It is the student s responsibility to insure that accurate contact information is on file in the Student Affairs Department. Missing Document Letters Upon receiving financial aid applications, an evaluation of the student s data is made. If additional documentation is required, the student is sent a Missing Document Letter via indicating the documentation needed to complete the student s financial aid file. Award Letters After a final determination has been made regarding a student s eligibility for aid, the student is sent an Award Letter via . The award letter will show the type and amount of aid that the student has been awarded. Awards are normally based on full-time attendance and will be prorated for each term that the student is not enrolled on a full time basis. Full Time = 12 or more credit hours, ¾ Time = credit hours, ½ Time = credit hours, and Less than ½ Time = less than 6 credit hours. Refunds Students whose financial aid awards exceed the direct cost of tuition and fees will receive a refund. Refunds are processed by the ATC Business Office each term. For additional information regarding refunds, students should contact the Business Office. Federal R2T4 Policy The federal government requires colleges to monitor the enrollment activity of each federal financial aid recipients. A return to title IV funds process (R2T4) must be performed on students who totally withdraw from class prior to the end of the term. This process identifies the percentage of funding that the student earned, which often results in a reduction in the student s award for said term. Students who totally withdraw prior to the 60% point in the term are normally required to repay federal funds received. 39

41 State Refund Policy The Technical College System of Georgia defines the state refund policy that must be followed by ATC. Should the student alter his/her enrollment status during the first three days of the term, the students tuition and fee charges are revised accordingly. Should changes occur after the first three days of the term, there will be no reduction (refund) of tuition and fee charges. Repayment Requirements Occasionally, a student may receive federal or state funding in error. This may occur due to technical difficulties, human error, incorrect data provided by the student, etc. Please note that federal and state funds received in error, regardless of the reason, must be repaid by the student. Important Phone Numbers & Websites Helpful in Completing the Financial Aid Application Process Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application and information Independent Verification Worksheet (13-14) Visit the Financial Aid Office or click Dependent Verification Worksheet (13-14) Visit the Financial Aid Office or click Federal Student Aid Information Center (To Request a duplicate Student Aid Report or check on the status of your application) Internal Revenue Service ( IRS) (To request a summary of your income tax data) National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) (To check on your loan default status) Selective Service or Additional Sources of Financial Assistance VETERANS AND ELIGIBLE DEPENDENTS EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS 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 ). This can be completed on line at 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 application 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, along with your DD214 and 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 semester. 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 Representative within three days of that change. Failure to do this can result in the loss 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 or VA Form depending on your program). You can get the forms from a VA Rep or download it from the VA web site: Address Changes: 40

42 Address changes and changes of Banks should also be reported to the Department of Veteran Affairs. Since VA WILL NOT forward your benefits checks to a new address, it is important that these type changes be reported immediately. 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. Department 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-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, and fill out all the required forms completely and accurately to avoid the errors that will cost you time. Educational Rates: To view the VA educational rates, please visit Satisfactory Academic Progress: All recipients are required to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) according to standards established and published by the College. This includes 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 SAP policy, your benefits will be terminated. If you have any questions, please call the Atlanta Technical College VA Representative at EDUCATIONAL COSTS Current Semester Fee Schedule (updated fall semester 2014.)

46 Academic Policies ACADEMIC POLICIES Good Standing Students who achieve a semester GPA of 2.00 are considered to be in good standing. Academic Warning Students who fail to achieve a semester GPA of 2.00 are placed on academic warning. The purpose of an academic warning is to alert the student there is a need to improve academic performance. Academic Probation Students who fail for the second consecutive quarter to achieve a semester 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 semester to achieve a semester GPA of 2.00 are placed on academic suspension. A student placed on academic suspension must stay out of school for one full semester 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- semester suspension. Upon return, if the semester GPA falls below 2.00, the student will be suspended for one full calendar year. Subsequent to the one-year suspension, if the semester GPA falls below 2.00, the student must appeal in writing to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. 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 program 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. This can be done via Banner Web or by completing an official withdrawal form in the Office of the Registrar, located within the Student Affairs Division on the first floor 45

47 of the Dennard Building. Failure to comply with the official withdrawal process may result in a failing grade for the course; unofficial withdrawal from the course by the instructor for lack of attendance 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 unofficially withdrawn from the course. The student will receive a grade of "W" should this occur prior to midterm, 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. 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 National 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 18credit hours per semester. 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 use 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 semester. Students are responsible for notifying the Admission Office 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 Numerical Equivalent Grade Points A B C D F The following symbols are approved for use in the cases indicated. I IP W WP 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 midpoint of the next semester, 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 semester to be eligible for an "I" grade. No credit is given and no grade points are calculated. Indicates that a course continues beyond the end of the semester. Students who withdraw before the midpoint of the semester receive a grade of W Withdrew. No credit is given and no grade points are calculated. Indicates students who withdraw passing from a course after the midpoint of the semester 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. 46

48 WF EX TR AC AU Indicates students who withdraw from a course after the midpoint of a semester (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. 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. 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. Indicates articulated credit earned by students as a part of formal articulation agreements. 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, and then total all Quality Points. Total Quality Points divided by Total credit Hours = Grade Point Average 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. 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 semester deadline and submit to the Registrar. 2. Complete the prescribed course requirements with a graduation grade point average of 2.0. *A grade of C or better is required in all courses for graduation.* 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. Honor Graduates Students who achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher will receive special recognition at graduation. Letter Grades Numerical values of letter grades are as follows: Quality Grade Points Excellent A

STEP 1. STEP 2. STEP 3. 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. When an agreement cannot be reached at step one, students should submit written appeals within ten days to the dean. The students' appeals must be signed and dated. The dean must respond within ten days after receipt of notification from step one. If an agreement is not reached from the previous steps, students should submit copies of their original appeal within ten school days to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will have ten days to review and respond to the appeal. The decision of the Vice President of Academic Affairs shall be final. 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 semester immediately following the semester 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 allowed 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 semester 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 each semester. The work ethics program is designed to evaluate and encourage good work habits that ensure job retention and career advancement. 48

50 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 Student Records In accordance with provisions of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 and its amendment, the USA Patriot Act of 2001, we accord all the rights under the law to students who are declared independent.

Release of Student Records Documents submitted by or for students in support of their application for admission or for transfer credit will not be returned to students or sent elsewhere at their request. For example, a transcript from another technical school, college, or high school, will not be sent to a third institution. Students should request another transcript from the original institution. In exceptional cases, however, where another transcript is unobtainable, or can be secured only with the greatest difficulty, copies may be prepared and released to prevent 49

51 hardship to students. Students must present a signed request for this procedure. The copy sent will be marked as a certified copy of what is in the students' files. Change of Address Students are required to notify the Admissions Office of address changes. Accurate address information allows for timely correspondence with students. Change of Address Form is available in the Admissions Office. Registration Students who have received an official letter of acceptance from the Admissions Office and continuing students who are not on academic suspension may register for classes. Students enrolling under the special admission provisions are also eligible to register for certain classes. Catalog prerequisite and test score restrictions are maintained to prohibit students from registering for course-work without proper assessment. During registration processing, prerequisite and test score restrictions are in effect to ensure academic performance. Upon advisement, eligible students may register for the upcoming semester. After registering, students must confirm their intent to attend by paying assessed fees. New students are notified about specific dates for registration and must bring acceptance letters with them to register. Students must complete the proper forms and procedures for registration and verify that their schedules of classes are correct. Registration is complete when all fees are paid.

Students are encouraged to maintain regular contact with advisors in order to ensure academic success. All students have assigned program advisors. Web Registration During the registration process, students will be given instructions to register via BANNER Web. Students will be given a registration form by their advisors. The course reference number (CRN) for each selected course will be written on the registration form. Students will then proceed to designate computer labs on campus or to home computers to process their registration. This process is in effect for both currently enrolled students as well as new and returning students to the college.

Learning opportunities develop academic, technical, and professional knowledge and skills required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. Registered dental hygienists work in a variety of professional settings including private and public practice. They provide numerous services designed to detect and prevent diseases of the mouth. These include oral prophylaxis and examination of head, neck, and the oral cavity for signs of disease.

Registered dental hygienists play a vital role in protecting the oral health of the American public. Program graduates receive a Dental Hygiene Associate of Applied Science degree. OCCUPATIONAL TRENDS Occupational Trends: The demand for dental services will grow because of population growth, older people increasingly retaining more teeth, and a growing emphasis on preventative dental care. To help meet this demand, facilities that provide dental care, particularly dentists' offices, will increasingly employ additional dental hygienists to meet the growing need. Ongoing research indicating a link between oral health and general health also will spur additional demand for preventative dental services, which are typically provided by dental hygienists.
