Guarantee:
The Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education has developed
curriculum standards with the direct involvement of business and industry.
These standards serve as the industry-validated specifications for each program
of study and
If one of our
graduates, who were educated under a standard program and his or her employer,
agrees that the employee is deficient in one or more competencies as defined in
the standards, Augusta Technical College will retrain that employee at no
instructional cost to the employee or employer. For additional information, refer to the Augusta Technical College Student Handbook.
This
guarantee applies to any graduates who are employed in their fields of training.
It is in effect for a period of two years after graduation. To inquire or to file a claim under this
warranty, please contact the Vice President of Instructional Services.
Attendance
Policy:
It is
essential that education programs meet requirements and standards necessary for
successful employment. In view of the
intensive nature of the education programs, it is necessary for every student
to be present and on time for all classes as it is required in the World of
Work. Absence from more than 10 percent
of the scheduled class sessions is excessive.
Actions taken in response to excessive absences and tardies are at the
discretion of each instructor and may include an adverse impact on academic
grades, work ethics, and referral to the appropriate Dean for further action,
including suspension and expulsion. A
student who has been suspended for attendance reasons has the right to appeal
in writing and will remain in school during the appeal process. When the appeal process is completed, the
final decision is made retroactive to the date of the original notice of
suspension. Suspension from a course can
influence a students financial aid status.
For additional information, refer to the
Work
Ethics:
Work-ethics grades are given at the 5th and 10th
week of the term. I will evaluate your
performance based on attendance, productivity skills, teamwork, character,
leadership skills, organization skills, communication skills, respect,
self-esteem and appearance. Work ethics grades become a permanent part of your
academic record.
Students with disabilities:
If there is a student in this class who needs testing or classroom
accommodations due to a disability, please feel free to come to my office and discuss
this with me. Augusta Technical College
has an ADA Coordinator / Disability Counselor, who can assist you with your
needs.
