History
During the late 1950s, the Georgia State
Department of Education began the construction of area technical schools. Several
research projects and studies within the
state had shown the great need for these
schools. Industry was moving into the state
while agricultural jobs were decreasing at an
accelerated rate. Georgia was rapidly changing from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy. This necessitated a rapid transition from the previous general education to
the training of technicians, craftsmen, skilled
and semiskilled workers. Georgia now has
thirty-four technical colleges, located strategically throughout the state.
In 1964 planning began for the funding
and construction of the Gainesville-Hall
County Area Vocational Trade School. The
school would be under the governance of the
Hall County Area Board of Education. The
Georgia State Board of Education adopted
the charter of the institution in December
1964 and became a partner in the governance of the new vocational school which
was renamed ten months later as Lanier
Area Vocational-Technical School.
Lanier Technical College began its first classes in the Fall of 1966. The first classes were
conducted in local schools, churches, and
civic buildings. In January 1967, the classes
were moved into a 47,000 square foot administrative and classroom building. During the
mid 1970s, Lanier Technical College’s facilities were expanded to include a modern
industrial training facility and 20,000 square
feet of classroom, shop, and administrative
space. An additional 26,000 square foot
annex building was added in 1981. In 1996,
an addition 47,000 square foot classroom
building was added. The Forsyth Campus
is composed of two buildings. This 57,000
square foot facility opened in 1998. Three
other campuses followed. In 2002, a campus
was opened in Winder; in 2003 a campus
was opened in Commerce; and in 2005 a
campus was opened in Dawsonville. Also in
2005, Lanier Technical College established
its presence in cooperation with Hall County
Board of Education, at the Lanier Career
Center in Gainesville.

General Policy
The admissions policy and procedures of
the Georgia Board of Technical and Adult
Education and Lanier Technical College
assure the citizens of Georgia equal access
to the opportunity to develop the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes necessary to secure
personally satisfying and socially productive
employment. By design and implementation, the policy and procedures governing
admission to Lanier Technical College are
nondiscriminatory to any eligible applicant
regardless of age, race, color, national or
ethnic origin, religion, gender, creed, political
affiliation or belief, disabled veteran, veteran
of the Vietnam era, citizenship status (except
in those special circumstances permitted or
mandated by law), or disability.
Lanier Technical College is committed to an
"open door" admissions policy. This policy
means that any qualified applicant able to
benefit from our curriculum will be served by
the institution on a first-applied, first-qualified
basis. Some programs may use a competitive admission process. Entrance requirements are flexible enough to allow a student
opportunity for admission into a specific
program. This can be accomplished when
the student demonstrates aptitude and ability
for a program as determined by satisfactory
academic performance, placement tests, and
other appropriate evaluations, when deemed
necessary, to determine general fitness for
admission.
Residence Requirements
Lanier Technical College requires that a
minimum of twenty five percent (25%) of the
course work of a particular program be completed at the technical college granting the
award. Included in this 25% may be credits
earned at colleges that are participating with
Lanier Technical College in a joint cooperative or consortia arrangement.
Residency Policy
The State Board of Technical and Adult
Education recognizes three student residency categories: in-state, out-of-state and
international.
A student's legal residence shall determine
the tuition rate paid by the student.
1) Students who are residents of the United
States and otherwise qualify as Georgia
residents shall pay tuition and fees pre scribed by the State Board for in-state
18
students.
2)
Students who are residents of the United
States but do not otherwise qualify as
Georgia residents shall pay tuition and
fees at a rate two times that charged in-state students. These students are recognized as out-of-state students.
3)
Students who are residents of a country
other than the United States and are
studying at a technical college shall pay
tuition and fees at a rate four times that
charged in-state students. These students are recognized as international
students.
Waiver of Out-of-State/Out-ofCountry Tuition
Non-resident tuition may be waived, normally on a quarter-by-quarter basis, for an
international student, by the President.
Students desiring to appeal or request a
waiver of out-of-state or out-of-country
tuition may petition the president of Lanier
Technical College, indicating their reason
for the waiver request. Proof of residency,
citizenship status, and other documentation
may be required to determine the status of a
waiver request. Approval of a tuition waiver
is granted for one quarter only. Waiver
requests must be submitted each quarter a
student wishes to be considered for a waiver.
For more information, contact the Office of
Admissions.
Any non-resident student receiving a tuition
waiver shall pay the in-state tuition rate, but
is not eligible for the HOPE program.
On the application for admission, the college
requires each student to identify his or her
country of lawful residence and may require
the submission of other information necessary to make a determination of a student's
legal residency for tuition-rate and student
advisement purposes.
Residency Procedures
The institutional residency officer classifies
each person accepted by the college as an
in-state, out-of-state, or international student.
Said classification is based upon all relevant
information made available to the residency
officer, including, but not limited to, information submitted by or on behalf of the student.
The residency officer may, as a condition of
registration, require such written documents
and other relevant evidence as are deemed
necessary or helpful to determine the residence of the applicant. Such documentation
may include, but is not limited to Georgia tax
forms, utility bills, a driver's license, voter
registration card and automobile registration.
Legal residence in the State of Georgia
requires not only recent physical presence
in Georgia, but also the element of intent
to remain indefinitely. Students meeting the
following exceptions shall be considered for
in-state residency tuition rates:
1. Employees and their children who move
to Georgia for employment with a new or
expanding industry as defined in
O.C.G.A. §20-4-40;
2. Non-resident students who are financial ly 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
such financial dependence shall have
existed for at least twelve consecutive
of registration;
3. Full-time employees at any 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. Teachers employed full-time on military bases in Georgia;
5. United States military personnel stationed in Georgia and on active duty and
their dependents living in Georgia;
6.
United States military personnel and their
dependents that are legal residents of
Georgia, but are stationed outside the
state;
7.
Students who are legal residents of outof-state counties bordering on Georgia
counties located in a technical college's
service area and who are enrolled in
said technical college when there is a local
reciprocity agreement in place;
8. International and out-of-state students when tuition has been waived by the
technical college President;
9.
Career consular officers and their
dependents that are citizens of the foreign nation which their consular office
represents, and who are stationed
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.
Entrance Requirements
Applicants must complete and return all
required forms and credentials to the college
prior to registration. Students are encouraged to apply or update their applications
well in advance of registration. Late applications may be considered only if time permits.
Delays in acceptance will occur if application
materials are received in several segments
and/or if the applicant must be reminded to
submit certain documents.
Students applying for admission to Lanier
Technical College must be 16 years of age
or older. Applicants must be 17 years of age
or older for admission into the Cosmetology
and all Health programs. The President of
Lanier Technical College may waive the “16
years of age” requirement for secondary
students who are participating in an articulated program of study such as dual or joint
enrollment. Lanier Technical College does
not accept or recognize transcripts indicating a certificate of performance, certificate of
attendance, or special education diplomas.
A regular high school diploma or a General
Educational Development (GED) Diploma
is required as a prerequisite for entrance
into some diploma and certificate programs
and for all degree programs. See specific
entrance requirements for individual programs. The president of Lanier Technical
College may grant a waiver to the admissions requirement as it relates to possessing
a GED or high school diploma for those secondary students who are otherwise eligible
to enroll in a program of study that is agreed
upon by the secondary school and Lanier
Technical College. This may apply to students seeking dual or joint enrollment with
Lanier Technical College.
A high school diploma or a GED is not
required as a prerequisite for entrance in
all diploma programs; however, prior to
19
graduation from a diploma program at Lanier
Technical College, all students must receive
either a high school diploma or a GED. An
applicant who does not have a high school
diploma or GED, and who wishes to apply
for financial aid, may demonstrate eligibility
for entry to those programs not requiring a
high school diploma/GED if the applicant
achieves acceptable scores on the Ability-toBenefit (ATB) ASSET Examination as well as
acceptable program entry scores. Passing
the ATB exam does not take the place of having a high school diploma or GED for those
programs that require a diploma or GED as a
prerequisite for admission purposes.
The U.S. Department of Education guidelines
specify that the minimum passing scores for
HEA Title IV grant, loan, or work assistance
eligibility for ATB students is a scale score on
the ASSET admissions exam. If these scores
are not met and the student does not have a
diploma or GED, he/she is not eligible for the
federal Pell grant or Federal Work Study.
Applicants must be physically able to attend
school. In some programs, a student who
has a physical condition that would limit
participation in a class/lab should provide
a written statement from a doctor indicating
the student's ability to perform all class/lab
requirements.
successful completion (a grade of C or
better) in equivalent, program-level English
and math courses may be submitted in lieu
of taking the placement test. Reasonable
accommodations may be made for students
with documented disabilities. (Please notify
the Admissions Office prior to the scheduled
test date.)
5. Applications are processed and the names
of applicants are placed on a list of programs
on a first-come, first-served priority, except in
competitive admission programs. Because of
the increasing demand for technical training,
the chances of being accepted in the desired
program are better if a student applies early.
Students are notified by mail of their acceptance into a program, and are mailed a time
and date to report for registration.
NOTE: Certain certificate programs do not
require a high school diploma, GED, or
placement test scores. Placement tests are
not required for special admission (nondegree/diploma/certificate) students unless
recommended by the Admissions Office.
Recommendation will be based on educational data listed on the Application for
Admission. Contact the Admissions Office
for details.

Assessment Policy
The ability of a student to succeed in an
occupational program at Lanier Technical
College is greatly determined by the math
and language skills possessed by that student. Lanier Technical College is committed
to assisting each student to achieve at his/her
maximum potential. It is the philosophy of this
school that a student is not helped by admitting him/her to a program in which he/she
does not possess the basic education skills
needed to succeed. Therefore, all students
applying for degree, diploma and specified
certificate programs must be tested prior to
acceptance to a program of study at Lanier
Technical College. Students will be admitted
in accordance with the Nondiscriminatory
Admissions Policy, SBTAE Policy Number
05-01-01.
A. Lanier Technical College will utilize the state-approved assessment
instrument when assessing for program readiness. The ASSET and its
computer version COMPASS is the
state-approved assessment instrument.
B. In lieu of the state-approved test,
Lanier Technical College may accept
a student’s score on the ACT, SAT,
or CPE provided that this score is no
more than five years old.
C. Successful completion of appropriate developmental or program level
coursework at regionally accredited
institutions may also be used to document a student’s basic education
skills and eliminate the need to complete the placement test.
Assessment Procedures
A. Each student will be assessed or provided appropriate assessment documentation prior to being accepted
into degree, diploma, or specified
certificate programs. Students will
be scheduled for a placement test
when application and application fee
have been received by the Office of
Admissions. Applicants will be notified in person and/or writing, of their
scheduled date and time to be tested.
It is the responsibility of the applicant
to contact the Office of Admissions
and reschedule their test date if necessary.
B. Each student will receive an interpretation of his or her test scores prior to
beginning their program of study. Test
results, course placement, and admissions status is discussed with the test
group at the beginning of each testing session. The results of the test,
including the applicant’s admission
status and Learning Support recommendations, will be sent to each
applicant. The applicant may contact the Office of Admissions for further discussion and interpretation of
the test results. Assessment results
will be distributed to the appropriate
department instructor, to be used for
advisement when the student comes
to registration.
C. Provisions will be made for the assessment of students with disabilities who
need special assistance and considerations. These special provisions
may include computer adaptive testing, extended time, untimed testing,
testing with large print booklets, and
testing with audio equipment. The
applicant should provide documentation of the disability and a recommendation of the special provisions
needed.
Learning Support Placement for
Degree Students
All degree-seeking students taking Learning

Advisors.
Learning Support Course
Exemption

courses and register for these courses must
complete the entire sequence of coursework
prior to enrolling in program-level English,
reading, and/or math courses. In other words,

month period from the date of their last testing. Students must complete an Application
for Retesting in the Student Affairs office and

financial aid.
Withdrawing From the
Institution
Through the end of the last scheduled class
day of the quarter, a student may drop all
courses thus withdrawing for the quarter.
To withdraw for the quarter, a student must
obtain a Withdrawal Form from his/her advisor, sign and date the form, and submit it
to the Office of Student Affairs immediately.
The Withdrawal Form must be turned in to
the Office of Student Affairs no later than
the close of the office on the last day of the
quarter. A student who withdraws may be
due a refund of tuition and fees (see Refund
Policy).
This deadline is strictly enforced. If a student
withdraws prior to the first day of the quarter,
no grade will appear on the student's official
academic record. A student who withdraws
after the first day of the quarter will be
assigned a grade of "W" in each class if the
withdrawal is completed by the midpoint date
of the quarter. A student who withdraws after
the midpoint date will be assigned a grade of
"WP" or "WF" if the withdrawal is submitted
to the Office of Student Affairs by the close of
the office on the last day of the quarter.
Students who stop attending a class, but do
not complete a Withdrawal Form and submit it to the Office of Student Affairs in the
required manner, will remain on the class roll
and will be assigned an appropriate grade
on the final class roll based on the class
requirements. It is the student's and not the
instructor's responsibility to complete and
submit this form.
No-Show Policy/
Reinstatement
For day students, any student who does not
attend at least one day during the first two
class days or contact his/her instructor will
have his or her registration terminated. For
evening and Saturday students, any student
who does not attend the first night of class,
the first Saturday class, or contact his/her
instructor will have his or her registration
terminated. Any no-show student whose registration is voided and who seeks reinstatement must obtain approval from the college
administration. If reinstated, the student must
reregister. A late fee may be charged.
27
Some classes have waiting lists. When a
no-show student's registration is canceled,
students on waiting lists are given the opportunity to register. This means that no-show
students may lose their places in classes.
No-shows are defined as:
• Day students who do not attend or contact
their instructor by the second scheduled
class meeting.
• Saturday or evening students who do not
attend or contact their instructor by the first
scheduled class meeting.
• Online students who do not "report in" via
e-mail or by logging in to the class by the last
day of the drop/add period.

Lanier Technical College Program Costs
Financial assistance is available to those students who complete the necessary paperwork
and qualify. Students wishing to apply for financial aid are encouraged to do so prior to enrollment. Lanier Technical College offers several types of federal and state grants; however, we
do not participate in the federal student loan program.
Certificate seeking and diploma seeking students who wish to be considered for state aid benefits (HOPE) may apply by completing the HOPE application online at www.GACollege411.
org. The HOPE Grant will cover the cost of tuition and most mandatory fees, as well as a
portion of the cost of books.
Degree seeking students may apply for HOPE Scholarship funding online at www.
GACollege411.org. The HOPE Scholarship requirements are very different from the
requirements for the HOPE Grant that is awarded to diploma and/or certificate seeking
students. In addition to completing a HOPE Scholarship application, degree seeking students
must also submit a request for HOPE Scholarship evaluation to the financial aid office at
least three weeks prior to registration. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at 770-531-6327
regarding HOPE Scholarship evaluation procedures.
Students who wish to be considered for the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant and the Federal Work Study program must complete the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid form. The quickest way to apply is online at www.fafsa.
ed.gov. Lanier Technical College's school code is 005254. All diploma and degree programs
are Pell eligible programs. Most certificate programs are not eligible for Pell funding. Please
check with the Financial Office for a list of Pell approved certificate programs.
Students must be accepted for admission to Lanier Technical College before financial aid
eligibility can be finalized or awarded.
Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have questions regarding your financial aid
eligibility. Students who have applied for financial aid are responsible for assuring that their
financial aid files are complete prior to registration. If you have not received your financial aid
award notification prior to registration, please call 770-535-6906 or 770-531-6450 or 770-7816801. Please remember that financial aid (HOPE, Pell) will not cover all charges/costs.
Students admitted as Special Admission (undeclared) will not be eligible to receive financial aid.
For additional fee information, please contact the program advisor.
There is a $30.00 Late Fee for students who register after Open Registration, or during Late
Registration. This is in addition to the costs that are given in the Lanier Technical College
Program Costs list that follows.

available basis; however, they must pay the
activity, registration, technology, application
and insurance fees.
* Tuition and fees listed are effective as of
Fall Quarter 2006 and are subject to change
by the college without prior notice.
Tuition & Fee Payment
• Tuition/fees may be paid by cash, personal check, money order, MasterCard,
or Visa.
• A student who has a returned check
may be required to make future payments by cash or money order.
• Lanier Technical College does not cash

Refund Policies
Students not receiving financial assistance
and students awarded HOPE funds only,
will receive refunds in accordance with the
Institutional Refund Policy. Title IV recipients
who totally withdraw from Lanier Technical
College will have their refunds calculated
in accordance with the Return of Title IV
Funds Refund policy. Students receiving
Title IV funds and HOPE funds will have
their refunds calculated in accordance with
the Title IV refund policy and the Institutional
Refund Policy. The refund policies are outlined on the following pages.
Return of Title IV Funds Policy
When a Title IV recipient totally withdraws,
Lanier Technical College must use the following steps to return Title IV aid:
1. Determine a student's withdrawal
date.
2. Determine the amount of aid disbursed for the payment period.
3. Determine the amount of Title IV aid
disbursed plus the Title IV aid that
could have been disbursed for the
payment period.
4. Determine the percentage of Title IV
aid the student earned by dividing the
number of calendar days attended
during the quarter by the total number
of calendar days in the quarter.
5. Calculate amount of Title IV aid
34
earned by the student by multiplying
the above percentage by the total of
Title IV aid disbursed plus the Title IV
aid that could have been disbursed
for the payment period.
6. Determine if student is due a
Postwithdrawal Disbursement or if Title
IV aid must be returned. If the amount
of Title IV aid earned is greater than
the total of Title IV aid disbursed then
subtract the Title IV aid disbursed for
the payment period from the amount
of Title IV aid earned. This is the
amount of the post-withdrawal disbursement due. If the amount of Total
Title IV aid disbursed is greater than
the amount of Title IV Aid earned by
the student, then subtract the amount
of Title IV aid earned from Title IV aid
disbursed for the payment period. This
is the amount of Title IV aid that must
be returned.
7. Calculate amount of unearned Title
IV aid due from the college. Multiply
institutional charges for the payment
period times the percentage of Title IV
aid unearned. Compare this amount to
the amount of Title IV aid to be returned
and enter the lesser amount.
8. Determine return of funds by college.
The college must return the unearned
aid for which the college is responsible by repaying funds to the follow
sources, in order, up to the total net
amount disbursed from each source.
The aid programs are as follows:
Unsubsidized FFEL/Direct Stafford
Loan, Subsidized Stafford Loan,
Perkins Loan, FFEL/Direct Plus, Pell
Grant, FSEOG Grant and Other Title
IV programs.
9. Calculate initial amount of unearned
Title IV aid due from student. Subtract
the amount of Title IV aid due from
the college from the amount of Title
IV aid to be returned.
10. Determine return of funds by student.
Refund Policy for Title IV
& HOPE Recipients
If the student received federal Title IV funds
in addition to HOPE funds, Lanier Technical
College must follow the Title IV Return of
Funds policy to determine the amount of federal Title IV refund. To determine the refund
to HOPE, Lanier Technical College must
then follow the institutional refund policy. If
all or part of the student‘s Title IV aid was
disbursed directly to the student, the college
must bill the student for the refund. This
notice will show all financial aid received by
the student, the amount earned by the student, and the amount to be returned by the
student to the college.
Refund Policy for HOPE Only
Recipients
If a refund is due and the student received
HOPE funds but did not receive federal
Title IV funds, then such amounts must be
refunded to HOPE, by applying the institution's refund policy to the student's original
HOPE award for tuition and HOPE approved
mandatory fees.
Institutional Refund Policy
Students not receiving financial assistance
and students awarded HOPE Funds only
will receive refunds in accordance with the
Institutional Refund Policy. One hundred
percent (100%) of tuition and all fees excluding the application fee will be refunded if the
student formally withdraws before the first
day of the quarter. For the purpose of refund
calculations, the first day of the quarter is
considered to be the official first day of class
shown on the college calendar. (It is not the
first day of scheduled classes for an individual student unless the student's classes
are set-up as a special part of term.) The college calendar gives the last dates for refunds
each quarter for all classes except those that
are set-up as a special part of term.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of the tuition
will be refunded if the student formally withdraws within the first five (5) class days
for any quarter. (It is not the first day of
scheduled classes for an individual student.)
Unexpected college closure (for example,
due to inclement weather) that occurs within
the refund period will be taken into consideration in the calculation of refunds. Under
these circumstances, the President of the
college may extend the refund period. There
will be no refund of fees (activity, technology, registration, late, and insurance) if the
student withdraws after the one hundred
percent (100%) refund period has passed.
After the first five (5) class days for any
quarter, there will be no refund. Any student
who withdraws or is dropped from college
after the one hundred percent (100%) refund
period has passed will forfeit all rights to any
benefits from the college activity fee.
Some courses may be cancelled due to
low enrollment. In the event of a cancellation, a student may choose to change to an
alternate course or may receive a refund.
Refunds due to a course cancellation will be
at one hundred percent (100%). Refunds are
processed when a student withdraws or is
withdrawn from the college without requiring
a request from the student. These refunds
are processed through the Registrar‘s Office
and the Administrative Services Office. The
refund check will be mailed to the student's
address.
Financial Aid Programs
Foundation Scholarships
The Lanier Technical College Foundation,
through donations from business, industry,
civic organizations, and individuals, provides
scholarships for deserving students. These
funds may supplement federal and state
grants and may be used for both direct and
indirect costs associated with educational
expenses incurred during the period awarded. The Lanier Technical College Financial
Aid Office announces the availability of external scholarships as openings arise. Students
should obtain a Foundation Scholarship application from the Financial Aid Office. Lanier
Technical College Foundation Scholarship
applications will be reviewed and awarded
by the Foundation Scholarship Committee.
Please check for deadline dates.
Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant is a federal grant funded by
the U.S. Department of Education. Students
who demonstrate financial need, who are
enrolled in a Pell eligible program and have
not received a bachelor’s degree may qualify for this grant. Most short-term certificate
programs do not meet the program length
requirements as established by the U.S.
Department of Education and therefore do
not meet the definition of a Pell eligible
program. All diploma and associate degree
programs are Pell eligible programs. Pell
awards are payable in four equal installments to be disbursed after the date considered to be the mid-point of each quarter.
Students must complete the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form in
order to determine eligibility. This aid does
not have to be repaid provided the recipient
meets all requirements.
• Learning Support and Special
Admissions students are not eligible
for federal financial aid benefits.
35
• Pell Grant awards are based on a
student’s enrollment status, cost of
attendance, program of study and
degree of financial need.
• Students who withdraw from the
college before the 6th week of the
quarter will have their Pell award
pro-rated.
• Pell funds are not available for use at
the bookstore.
Applicants who also meet the HOPE Program
eligibility requirements may use the HOPE
Grant/Scholarship to cover quarterly tuition
and fees charges. This enhancement of the
HOPE Scholarship program will allow those
applicants who qualify for any of the federal
grant awards to use this aid for other educational expenses incurred during the quarter.
Federal Work Study
The Federal Work Study Program provides
part-time jobs for students with financial
need, allowing them to earn money to
help pay educational expenses. This program encourages community service work
and work related to your course of study.
Participation in the program is based on
need, the availability of jobs, and the funding provided to Lanier Technical College by
the U.S. Department of Education. Students
may apply by completing the FAFSA and
a Lanier Technical College Federal WorkStudy Application.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
This grant provides aid to students with
exceptional financial need and gives priority
to students who receive Federal Pell Grants.
The amount of the award depends upon the
financial resources of the individual and his or
her parents and the funding provided to Lanier
Technical College by the U.S. Department of
Education. FSEOG is awarded on a first come
basis until all funds are exhausted. Students
may apply by completing the FAFSA.
Georgia LEAP Grant Program
(Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership)
The Georgia Leveraging Educational
Assistance Partnership (LEAP) Grant
Program was created to provide educational
grant assistance to residents of Georgia who
demonstrate substantial financial need. A student must apply for and be eligible to receive
the Pell Grant and be enrolled as a half-time
undergraduate student. Awards are made
36
during the Fall, Winter and Spring terms only.
The minimum LEAP award amount is $100
per quarter.
Academic Competitiveness

Workforce Investment Act
(WIA)
WIA is a form of financial aid available
to serve disadvantaged adults and dislocated adult workers. In accordance with
WIA guidelines, HOPE and Pell funds must
be used first to pay tuition and fees before
WIA funds will be used. WIA also pays
for books and supplies for students who

Satisfactory Academic
Progress Policy for
Students Receiving Federal
or State Financial Aid
Joint Enrollment and Dual
Enrollment
A high school student who is seeking a
diploma or certificate, and who meets all eligibility requirements permitting enrollment in
an eligible public postsecondary educational
institution on a joint or dual enrollment basis
is eligible to receive HOPE Grant if he or
she meets all other HOPE Grant eligibility
requirements. Beginning Fall Quarter 2004,
hours for which HOPE Grant payment was
received must be counted in the HOPE
Grant Paid-Hours and the Combined Paid
Hours limits.
Accel Program
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. The award amount for
Accel is the same as for the HOPE program
(tuition, HOPE-approved mandatory fees,
and a book allowance). All hours paid by
Transient Students
Students who are currently enrolled at Lanier
Technical College and will be taking courses
from other approved postsecondary institutions in Transient status must have a
Financial Aid/Academic Transient letter completed by Lanier Technical College. Students
must complete a Request for Transient Status
form which may be obtained in the Student
Affairs Office. Transient letters are sent
to the appropriate institutions documenting
financial aid and academic status.
Students receiving financial aid from federal and state programs must be making
satisfactory progress toward their diploma,
certificate, or degree. Students are responsible for maintaining an acceptable level of
progress regarding quality and quantity of
work. Financial aid regulations require that
we monitor course completion rate as well
as cumulative GPA. To maintain eligibility
for financial aid at Lanier Technical College,
students must earn a cumulative GPA (grade
point average) of 2.0 or better, and satisfactorily complete at least two-thirds (67%) of all
course work (credit hours) attempted.
Classes dropped on or after the first day of
the quarter will appear on each student's
academic transcript and will receive a grade
of W (withdraw), WP (withdrawn passing),
and/or WF (withdrawn failing). Grades of I,
W, WP, and IP are not used in calculating
a student's GPA, but are counted as course
work attempted. Courses receiving grades of
W, WP, WF, I, IP, and F are not considered
satisfactorily completed hours and will affect
a student's future financial aid eligibility.
The Offices of Student Affairs and Financial
Aid have developed the following standards
of satisfactory progress which a student
must achieve in order to maintain federal/
state aid eligibility.

General Provisions &
Eligibility Requirements
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
40
Students must be enrolled in an eligible program to be approved for
federal or state financial aid. Students
accepted into the Learning Support
and special admission status are not
eligible for Title IV aid. Regular or
provisionally admitted students may
receive Title IV benefits if eligible.
Technical certificate programs are
evaluated on an individual basis to
determine if they meet the minimum
training requirements for Title IV benefits.
Students who do not have a high
school diploma or the equivalent
(GED) are not eligible for Title IV
financial aid unless they have passed
an independently administered test
that is approved by the Secretary of
Education.
Exempted and audited courses may
not be counted in the calculation of a
student's total credit hours for determination of Title IV financial aid benefits.
Title IV aid can be awarded for online/
Internet courses to students enrolled
in diploma and degree programs.
"I" (incomplete) is used to indicate that
the student is doing satisfactory work
but has not completed all requirements for the course by the end of
the quarter. Any course receiving an
"I" designation must be completed by
the midterm of the following quarter
or the "I" will convert to a grade of F.
Students enrolled in Learning Support
courses are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress
unless they receive a grade of "F."
Learning Support courses are included in hours attempted. Students are
allowed to receive financial aid for no
more than 45 credit hours of Learning
Support courses.
When a course is repeated, the most
recent grade is used in the computation of the student's overall GPA.
Exceptions to this would be grades
of W, WP, and AU. When a W, WP,
or AU is the most recent grade, the
previous grade will be used in the
computation of the student's overall
GPA. If a student repeats a course
and the most recent grade is an "I",
the college's academic policy concerning the conversion of an incom-
plete to a grade will be followed. Each
individual program of study sets limits
on the number of times a course may
be repeated.
8. Academic progress determinations
will be made quarterly after grades
have been posted.
9. To maintain eligibility for financial
aid at Lanier Technical College, students must successfully complete
67% of all cumulative credit hours
attempted and maintain a cumulative
GPA (grade point average) of 2.0.
Courses receiving grades of I, IP, W,
WP, WF and F are not considered
completed hours. A student who fails
to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0
or to complete 67% of all credit hours
attempted will be placed on financial
aid probation for one quarter. The
purpose of financial aid probation is
to alert the student that his or her
academic performance is not acceptable. A student placed on financial aid
probation must attain a cumulative
GPA of 2.0 and achieve the required
completion rate by the end of the
next quarter in attendance to remove
himself/herself from the probationary
status. Failure to obtain the required
GPA and completion rate places the
student on financial aid suspension
and results in the loss of Title IV eligibility and state aid eligibility.
10. Students must complete their educational objective within a maximum
time frame based on enrollment status and program length not to exceed
150% of the published length of the
program. For example, for a four
quarter program, the maximum time
frame to receive financial aid is six
quarters. Enrollment of less than fulltime will be pro-rated accordingly. No
financial aid will be available after
the specified limits. However, factors
beyond the student's control, such as
conflicts in scheduling classes, will be
considered.
11. Any course for which a student registers will be counted in the maximum time frame and percentage
calculations as specified in number
ten. Quantitative and qualitative standards must be cumulative and must
include all periods of the student's
enrollment, even periods in which the
student did not receive SFA funds
must be counted.
12. Transfer students will be assumed to
be maintaining satisfactory academic
progress for the first quarter enrolled.
After the first quarter, the student will
be responsible for meeting all Lanier
Technical College academic progress
requirements.
13. A student will be notified in writing by
the Financial Aid Office if he/she is in
violation of the standards of satisfactory progress, the termination of Title
IV, and/or state funds.
14. Students have the right to appeal the
denial of financial aid if they feel there
are extenuating circumstances, which
have prevented them from meeting the
specified requirements. Appeals must
be written, must specifically address
the extenuating circumstances and
must be presented to the Financial Aid
Director within ten (10) days of notification of the failure to make satisfactory progress. The Financial Aid Review
Committee meets at the beginning of
each quarter. All documentation and/
or letters of appeal must be received
by the Financial Aid Office at least one
day prior to the committee's scheduled
meeting in order to be considered at
that meeting. The committee will provide a written decision to the student
within four (4) calendar days of the
committee's meeting. Students who
have circumstances that prevent them
from filing an appeal within the ten
(10) day deadline, may request that an
exception to this policy be made.
15. Reinstatement of financial aid after a
student's aid has been terminated for
lack of satisfactory academic progress can be achieved once a student
has attained the required cumulative
GPA of 2.0 and has successfully
completed 67% of all credit hours
attempted.
How to Maintain Your HOPE
Scholarship
Students receiving the HOPE Scholarship
must be making Satisfactory Academic
Progress as defined above, even if they
have not reached the renewal checkpoints
listed below in paragraphs A through E.
Credit Hours and HOPE
Cumulative Grade Point
Average for Renewal
A. Students who are eligible to receive
HOPE as entering freshmen may
receive payment through the term that
they have attempted (not earned) at
least 30 semester or 45 quarter hours.
However, all HOPE Scholarship recipients must have a grade point average
of at least a 3.0 at the end of every
Spring term in order to continue their
eligibility, except for freshmen enrolled
for less than 12 credit hours for each of
their first three college terms. Freshmen
recipients who enroll for less than 12
credit hours for each of their first three
college terms must have a cumulative
grade point average of at least a 3.0 at
the end of their third term in order to
continue their eligibility.
All attempted hours and corresponding
grades as shown on official transcripts
are counted toward the HOPE cumulative grade point average, including
Learning Support study. Additionally,
withdrawals are counted as attempted
hours even if there is no academic
penalty. Any college degree credit
hours attempted or earned before high
school graduation and hours exempted by examination do not count as
hours attempted and are not included
when calculating the HOPE cumulative grade point average.
B. If you have a HOPE cumulative grade
point average of at least a 3.0 by the
end of the term in which you attempted 30 semester or 45 quarter hours,
you may renew your scholarship for
31 through 60 semester hours or 46
through 90 quarter hours attempted.
C. If you have earned a HOPE cumulative grade point average of at least
a 3.0 by the end of the term you
attempted 60 semester or 90 quarter
hours, you may renew your scholarship for 61 through 90 semester hours or 91 through 135 quarter
hours attempted.
D. If you have earned a HOPE cumulative grade point average of at least
a 3.0 by the end of the term in
which you attempted 90 semester or
135 quarter hours, you may renew
your scholarship for 91 through 127
semester hours or 136 through 190
quarter hours attempted. However,
the total cumulative number of credit
hours for which you can receive payment from any combination of the
HOPE Scholarship, HOPE Grant,
and Accel programs is 127 semester
41
hours or 190 quarter hours.
E.If you are enrolled in a specific undergraduate degree program which is
designed to be a five-year program,
you may renew your scholarship for
a total of 150 semester hours or 225
quarter hours attempted or the number of hours required by the program,
whichever is less. However, the total
cumulative number of credit hours
for which you can receive payment
from any combination of the HOPE
Scholarship, HOPE Grant, and Accel
programs is 150 semester hours or
225 quarter hours or the number
of hours required by the program,
whichever is less.
Renewal Application
Students must reapply for financial aid once
each academic year (July 1 to June 30) by
completing a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid form and/or a GSFAPP application. This process must be completed each
year after January 1 to be considered for
assistance in the next academic year, with
Summer Quarter beginning the academic
term.

Regulations

Academic Information
The philosophy of Lanier Technical College is
to allow every student the maximum opportunity to graduate. The Technical College
System of Georgia implemented a policy
effective Spring Quarter 1992 which required
that, prior to graduation from Lanier Technical
College, all students must receive a GED or
a high school diploma. The Adult Literacy
component of Lanier Technical College can
advise students on preparation and testing
for the GED. For further information, contact
their office at 770.531.6363.
Attendance Regulations
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
44
The nature of the training programs
at Lanier Technical College is such
that it is necessary for every student
to attend class regularly. Students
are being trained to enter the "world
of work" as an employee and are
expected to be present and on time
every day just as they would on their
jobs.
Students who are unable to attend
class or who will be late for class
should make every effort to call the
College at 770.531.6300 (Oakwood
Campus), 770.781.6800 (Forsyth
Campus), 770.868.4080 (WinderBarrow Campus), 706.216.5461
(Dawson Campus), or 706.335.1931
(Jackson County Campus) and inform
their instructor of their absence or tardiness and give the reason.
Attendance policies vary by program.
It is the responsibility of each student
to clarify the exact attendance policy
of his/her particular program of study.
No program of study allows absences in excess of 20% of the scheduled
class time no matter the reason for
the absences.
Attendance policy for Practical Nursing is based on the state board
requirement of 1400 hours and is
more stringent than the regular policy.
Other programs which require licensing may have different attendance
policies. Students will receive a copy
of the policy from the program instructor when they enroll.
Students will receive a grade of zero
(0) for any class work missed until
the work is made up. Arrangements
for make-up work must be made with
each instructor upon the student's
return to class.
Tardiness
Students are tardy if they are not in the
classroom when the class begins. Three
tardies count as an absence. It is the responsibility of the student to keep an account of
tardiness and absences. Excessive tardiness may result in dismissal.
Student Suspension and
Dismissal Guidelines
Attendance Regulations Violations Guidelines
Lanier Technical College adheres to the
attendance information noted under the section on attendance regulations. However,
some programs' attendance policies are
more stringent because they are based on
licensing requirements.
Three incidents of being tardy for class
equates to an absence. When a student
has only two more absences before violating the attendance policy, the instructor will
provide a written (hand delivered, mailed, or
electronic mail) warning that dismissal for
excessive absences is near, with a copy to
the instructional supervisor.
Attendance Regulations Violations Procedures
1.
2.
3.
When a student's program allows
only two more absences before violation of the program's attendance
policy, the instructor will provide a
written warning. This warning should
be via the Attendance Regulations
Violation Form and may be transmitted by E-mail or hard copy.
The instructor will meet with the
student to discuss the reasons for
absences and/or incidents of tardiness. This meeting should include
development of a plan to prevent
additional absences and/or tardiness.
This plan may include referral to
the Coordinator of Special Services/
Minority Affairs or periodic follow-up
meetings with an instructional administrator.
If the student is absent two more
times, the instructor will refer the
student to the instructional supervisor for approval of dismissal action.
Under exceptional circumstances, the
instructional supervisor may decide
4.
not to dismiss the student but may
impose other sanctions.
As a part of the dismissal meeting
with the student, the instructor or
instructional supervisor should discuss re-enrollment options for the
following quarter.
Code of Conduct Violations
Procedures
1.

3.
4.
The instructor will refer any student
who violates any of the academically-related code of conduct actions
to the instructional supervisor. The
instructor will refer any student who
violates any of the other code of conduct actions to the Vice President of
Student Affairs.
The appropriate administrator will
meet with the student to discuss the
action and investigate the allegations
as necessary.
Depending upon the severity and the
number of occurrences of the action,
the administrator will impose appropriate sanctions (verbal or written
warning, probation, suspension, or
dismissal).
The administrator will document the
process and notify the instructor of
the action.
Appeals
Students who are terminated for attendance
violations may appeal only if they feel their
program attendance policy was not administered equitably to all students. These students must present evidence that this is
the case in order to schedule an appeal.
The appeal committee will support appropriate implementation of each program's
attendance policy. Requests for a hearing
must be made within three (3) days of the
termination. The appeal should be scheduled through the Vice President of Academic
Affairs or Campus Operations. The student
will then be informed as to whether or not
he/she is to return to class until the hearing.
This hearing committee will have access to
the student's prior attendance records and
information as needed to make a fair decision regarding the case.
Leaving Class Early
Each student who leaves class prior to the
end of the regular college day or before the
end of any class must secure the approval of
the instructor or instructors and will be count-
ed tardy. In case of illness, the student must
check out of college through his/her instructor. Students will be expected to adhere to
the policies of their respective departments.
Failure to do so may result in termination.
Grade Appeal Procedure
The purpose of the grade appeal process is
to provide a procedure for students at Lanier
Technical College to appeal a final grade or
other academic decision received from an
instructor.
Questions and concerns about grades are
often the result of misunderstandings about
grading practices and expected standards.
Direct communication between the instructor and the student, including review of
the course syllabus, usually resolves these
misunderstandings. If a student receives a
course grade which he/she believes is incorrect, the student should contact the instructor no later than the end of the first week of
the following quarter to discuss the concern.
If conversation with the instructor does not
resolve the matter, the student will follow the
grade appeal procedure:
1.
The student will contact the Director
of Academic Affairs or Campus
Operations to file the "Academic
Appeal Form" and to request a meeting to discuss the issue. The Director
will conduct an investigation in an
effort to resolve the appeal and will
give the student an interpretation of
the grade.
2. If no solution is found after meeting with the Director of Academic
Affairs or Campus Operations, the
student may file an appeal with the
Vice President of Academic Affairs or
Vice President of Campus Operations
before the mid-term of the quarter following the quarter in which the grade
was received, or the student may lose
his/her right to appeal.
3. Upon receiving the completed appeal
form, the Vice President of Academic
Affairs or Vice President of Campus
Operations will review the appeal,
notify the instructor that an appeal
has been made, and activate the
Academic Appeals Committee to hear
the student's appeal. Membership of
this committee includes:
• Director of Academic Affairs or Campus
Operations - Chair of Committee
45
• Student Government Representative
• A faculty member from a department
not involved in the appeal, appointed by
the Vice President
• A faculty member selected by the student making the appeal
• A faculty member selected by the
instructor whose grade is being appealed
4. Since the hearing conducted by the
Academic Appeals Committee is
an in-house procedure and not a
court of law, no legal counsel or
any other person may be present
except the student, the instructor,
and appointed members of the committee. Exceptions to this would be
granted by the Vice President only in
the case of a disabled student requiring some highly specialized extraordinary assistance that could not be
routinely provided by the chair or
another member of the committee.
5. A meeting of the Academic Appeals
Committee is scheduled by the Vice
President within two weeks of receiving the appeal.
6. On the date of the hearing, the
Academic Appeals Committee convenes at the appointed place with
the aggrieved student and involved
faculty member. The chair of the committee presides at the meeting. The
committee examines the evidence,
calls witnesses as necessary, and
keeps informal minutes of the proceedings that shall be available to the
Vice President and President.
7. The faculty member involved in the
appeal presents his/her case to the
committee (no longer than 15 minutes). The aggrieved student is not
present during this presentation. The
committee may question the faculty
member concerning his/her testimony. Following completion of the
testimony, the faculty member is dismissed.
8. The student involved in the appeal
presents his/her case to the committee (no longer than 15 minutes). The
faculty member involved in the appeal
is not present during this presentation. The committee may question the
student concerning his/her testimony.
Following completion of the testimony, the student is dismissed,
9. Following the hearing of all testimony,
the committee convenes to discuss
46
10.
11.
12.
13.
the evidence and make a decision
as to the disposition of the appeal.
A formal vote will be taken by the
chair to determine the outcome of the
appeal.
The chair notifies the Vice President
of the committee's recommendation
within two working days of the hearing.
The Vice President will notify the
student and faculty member in writing as to the disposition of the appeal
within five working days of the hearing date.
Further appeal, if desired by either
party, will be presented to the
President and Vice President.
Decisions of the President are final.
Withdrawals
Students who transfer or withdraw from college must inform the Student Affairs Office.
All information should be in writing so as
to protect the student's scholastic record
and facilitate transfers to other colleges or
employment. The college's standard termination form is completed by the student and
the instructor. A reason for withdrawal should
be given. If the student plans to reenter,
he/she must complete a Re-Entry Request
Form and return it to the Admissions Office
before the anticipated registration date. An
honorable dismissal cannot be given to any
student who has not satisfactorily accounted
for all property and financial obligations.
Advanced Placement
Students may be eligible for advanced placement through four methods: transfer credit,
armed services credit, foreign earned credit,
and exemption credit.
Transfer Credit
Lanier Technical College recognizes previous postsecondary course work by accepting credits that are applicable to the student's program of study earned from other
Georgia public technical colleges or regionally accredited institutions. The awarding of
credit does not guarantee that institutions
subsequently attended by the student will
accept those credits. A student may receive
credit for courses taken at another postsecondary institution if:
• Students desiring transfer credit sub-
•
•
•
•
•
mit a Transfer of Credit Form to the
Registrar;
The course taken is essentially the
same content or at a higher level as the
course at Lanier Technical College;
An official transcript is on file in the
student's admission file from all postsecondary institutions attended;
The course has the same number of
credit hours (or greater) as the course
at Lanier Technical College;
A grade of "C" or higher has been
earned for the course to be transferred;
Departmental approval is required when
specified by the Registrar.
Students receiving VA benefits must submit
a transfer of credit request if courses are
available for transfer. A grade of "TR" will be
entered on the permanent record if credit is
awarded. The hours will not be computed in
the grade point average. Lanier Technical
College does not accept experiential learning.
Armed Services Credit
Armed Services Credit may be awarded for
education/training experiences in the Armed
Services. Such experiences must be certified
by the American Council on Education (identified in the Council's publication, Guide to
the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in
the Armed Services). Credit will be given on
the basis of individual evaluation. Creditable
military experience must closely correspond
in content and competencies to courses in
the Lanier Technical College curriculum.
Foreign Earned Credit
Foreign Earned Credit may be awarded
based upon an evaluation performed by
an independent evaluation service. The
Registrar will make the final decision regarding the award of transfer credit. Grade points
will not be assigned to transfer credit.
Exemption Credit
Exemption Credit earned by examination, in
courses where available, may be awarded
when the student requests course exemption
by examination. The student must present
satisfactory evidence that he/she has prior
knowledge of a particular subject before
being eligible to test. A student interested
in credit by examination should confer with
his/her advisor and the instructor of the
course to be exempted. However, a student
cannot take an exemption test for a course in
which he/she is currently or was previously
enrolled.
If the student successfully passes the exemption test, he/she will receive an "EX" on his/
her transcript. The grade will count in total
hours earned but will not be calculated in
the student's grade point average. Courses
that are exempted may not be counted in the
calculation of a student's total credit hours
for determination of financial aid benefits,
including the HOPE Book Allowance.
An Exemption Credit Payment Form must
be completed by any student interested in
attempting credit examination. These forms
as well as a listing of courses currently
available for exemption are available upon
request in the Office of Student Affairs.
The student will sign up to take the exam
with the exam instructor; his or her advisor
must approve the attempted exam and sign
the Exemption Credit Payment Form. The
exemption fee(s) of $5 per credit hour for
the course(s) to be exempted must be paid
before the student will be allowed to test.
When the exam is graded, the student will
receive the test results and a copy of the
Exemption Credit Payment Form. If a student
passes the exemption test and would like to
add an additional course during the five (5)
day add period, he or she should see his or
her advisor. If a student fails the exemption
test and would like to add this course during
the five (5) day add period, he or she should
see his or her advisor. If space is available
in the course to be added, fees for the added
course must be paid by cash, check, credit
card or invoice before the course will be
added to the student's registration.
Grading Policies
Work Ethics
The DTAE Work Ethics program is designed
to promote positive work behaviors and to
prepare students to be better, more productive workers. Evaluation is based on
the following identified set of ten work ethics traits: Attendance, Character, Teamwork,
Appearance, Attitude, Productivity, Organization, Communication, Cooperation, and
Respect.
47
Students will receive a Work Ethics grade
for all courses except Learning Support. This
includes Internet and Web Enhanced/Hybrid
classes. Work Ethics grades will be reflected
on student transcripts but will not be computed into the grade point average (GPA).
Repeated Course Policy
When a course is repeated, the highest
grade is used in the computation of the student's overall GPA. Exceptions are grades
of "W", "WP", and "AU." When a "W", "WP",
or "AU" is the most recent grade, the previous grade is used in the computation of the
student's overall GPA.
Academic Standing
Studentss academic standing is updated
quarterly and may be viewed via Banner
Web.
Grades
Grades will be recorded in letter grades. An
overall 2.0 GPA (Grade Point Average) is
required for graduation. A minimum grade of
"C" may be required for progress from specified courses to more advanced courses. The
following grading scale is used for all Lanier
Technical College students:
90 - 100
=A (4.0)
80 - 89
=B (3.0)
70 - 79
=C (2.0)

recorded or it will be converted to a punitive
failing grade.
Withdrew (W) during the first 25 school
days. This grade does not affect GPA but
may affect financial aid eligibility.
WP and WF Students who withdraw after 25
school days will receive a "WP" (Withdrawn
48
Passing) or a "WF" (Withdrawn Failing)
depending upon his/her actual grades. The
grade of "WF" will be calculated as an "F" in
the GPA. These grades may affect financial
aid eligibility.
Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)
For calculating GPA, each letter grade has a
point value. Listed below are the values:
A
=
4
B
=
3
C
=
2
D
=
1
F
=
0
WF
=
0
The grade points are determined by multiplying the number of points a grade is worth
times the credit hours a course carries. Thus
a grade of an "A" (4 points) in a 5 credit
hour course (4 x 5) equals 20 points. The
same grade "A" in a 3 credit hour course
(4 x 3) equals 12 points. Example: A "MLT"
student's grades may appear as follows:
Credit Hours Grade Points
AHS 101 Anatomy &
Physiology

B (3)
15
MLT 108 Microbiology
7
D (1)

EMP 100 Interpersonal
Relations

A (4)
12
Total Points34
Individual course points are added together
to determine total points. To determine the
GPA, divide total points by total credit hours:
34 / 15 = 2.27 GPA.
Academic Probation
A student who fails to maintain a 2.0 GPA in
any quarter will be placed on academic probation. The purpose of academic probation
is to alert the student that his/her academic
performance is not acceptable and to point
out the possible consequences if improvements are not made during the next quarter
of enrollment. A student placed on academic
probation (or admitted on probation) must
attain a minimum 2.0 GPA during the next
quarter in attendance to remove himself/
herself from probationary status. A student
who fails to do so is subject to academic
dismissal.
Academic Dismissal
A student who fails to attain a minimum 2.0
GPA the next quarter in attendance after
being placed on probation is subject to academic dismissal. A student who is academically dismissed must stay out of college one
full quarter before petitioning for readmission. A second academic dismissal could
constitute a final dismissal from the student's
current program of study.
Academic Honors
President's List
Students who maintain a 4.0 GPA attain
the President's List. Students must have
completed at least 12 credit hours in the current quarter to be eligible for the President's
List.*
*Students accepted on a provisional basis or
those enrolled in a Learning Support class
are ineligible for President's List. Students
who receive a WP may be eligible for
President's List assuming all other requirements for President's List are met. Students
who are involuntarily dropped will be ineligible for President's List.
Honor Graduate with Distinction
Student's who complete their program of
study with a program GPA of 4.0 will be designated as Honor Graduates with Distinction.
4.0 graduates will receive a gold honor cord
to wear at the Graduation Ceremony.
Honor Graduate
Student's who complete their program of
study with a program GPA of 3.75-3.99 will
be designated as Honor Graduates.
Change of Program
Students desiring to change their program of
study must complete a Change of Program
Form available in the Admissions Office. The
requirements for the new program will be
checked against the student's test scores
and/or former course work. Retesting and/
or Learning Support course work may be
required. Once the form is completed and
approved, copies will be distributed to the
appropriate department and the Financial
Aid Office. Program changes may significantly impact a student's educational and
career goals. Students should discuss this
change with their academic advisor prior to
initiating the change process.
Career counselors are a valuable resource
in assisting students with career choices.
Students who are receiving benefits under
student assistance programs (federal student aid, veterans benefits) should discuss
the possible impact of the change on the
receipt of benefits. These programs have
specific guidelines concerning changes of
program. Not all credits earned under one
program may necessarily apply to the new
program. In some cases, changing programs
may lengthen the time required to complete
a program. The decision concerning transferability of credits is made by the receiving
department head and the Registrar. Students
must fill out a Request for Transfer Credit
form and submit the form to the Registrar.
The Family Educational
Rights & Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended, is a federal law
which states (a) that a written institutional
policy must be established and (b) that a
statement of adopted procedures covering
the privacy rights of students be made available. The law provides that the college will
maintain the confidentiality of student educational records.
Lanier Technical College accords all the
rights under the law to its students. No one
outside the college shall have access to
nor will the college disclose any information
from student's educational records without
the written consent of students except to
personnel within the college, to officials of
other institutions in which students seek to
enroll, to persons or organizations providing
student financial aid, to accrediting agencies
carrying out their accreditation function, to
persons in compliance with a judicial order,
and to persons in an emergency in order to
protect the health or safety of students or
other persons. All these exceptions are permitted under the Act.
Within the Lanier Technical College community, only those members, individually or
collectively, acting in the students' educational interest are allowed access to student
education records. These members include
personnel in the Offices of the Registrar,
Administrative Services, Financial Aid,
Admissions, and Academic Affairs within the
limitations of their need to know.
Directory Information
At its discretion, the college may provide
directory information in accordance with the
49
provisions of the Act. The following information is considered by Lanier Technical
College as Directory Information:
• Name
• Address
• Telephone Number
• College Assigned E-mail Address
• Dates of Enrollment
• Enrollment Status (Full/Part-Time, Not
Enrolled)
• Major
• Advisor's Name
• Academic Awards and Honors Received
(Including President's List)
• Class (Freshman/Sophomore)
• Degree, Diploma, or Certificate Conferred, Including Dates
• Date of Birth
• Place of Birth
• Previous Institution(s) Attended
Registrar listing the item or items of interest. Only records covered by the Act will be
made available within forty-five days of the
request. Students may have copies made of
their records with certain exceptions (e.g.,
a copy of the academic record for which
a financial "hold" exists or transcript of an
original or source document which exists
elsewhere).
This information may be given without
the student's consent unless the student
notifies the Student Affairs Office and
requests the information be held. Social
Security Number may be verified, but will not
be dispersed as directory information.
Exceptions
Withhold Directory
Information
Students may withhold directory information by notifying the Registrar in writing
within two (2) weeks after the first day of
class for each term. Request for non-disclosure will be honored by the college for only
one academic year; therefore, authorization to withhold Directory Information
must be filed annually in the Office of the
Registrar.
Review of Records
The law provides students with the right to
inspect and review information contained in
their education records, to have a hearing if
the outcome of the challenge is unsatisfactory, and to submit explanatory statements
for inclusion in their files if the decisions of
the hearing panels are unacceptable.
The Registrar at Lanier Technical College
has been designated by the college to
coordinate the inspection and review procedures for student education records, which
include admissions, personal, academic,
and financial files, and academic, cooperative education, and placement records. Any
student wishing to review his/her education
record must make written request to the
50
Copies will be made at the student's expense
at prevailing rates. Education records do not
include records of instructional, administrative, and educational personnel which are
the sole possession of the college, records
of the law enforcement unit, student health
records, employment records or alumni
records. Health records, however, may be
reviewed by physicians of the student's
choosing.
Students may not inspect nor review the
following as outlined by the Act: financial
information submitted by their parents, confidential letters and recommendations associated with admissions, employment or job
placement, or honors to which they have
waived their rights of inspection and review,
or education records containing information
about more than one student, in which case
the college will permit access only to that part
of the record which pertains to the inquiring
student. The college is not required to permit
students to inspect and review confidential
letters and recommendations placed in their
files prior to January 1, 1975, provided those
letters were collected under established policies of confidentiality and were used only for
the purposes for which they were collected.
Records Correction Procedures
Any student who believes that his/her education record contains information that is
inaccurate or misleading, or is otherwise in
violation of his/her privacy or other rights
may discuss his/her problems informally with
the Registrar. If the decisions are in agreement with the student's request, the appropriate records will be amended. If not, the
student will be notified within a reasonable
period of time that the records will not be
amended; and he/she will also be informed
by the Registrar of his/her right to a formal
hearing.
Student requests for a formal hearing must
be made in writing to the Vice President
of Student Affairs who, within a reasonable
period of time after receiving such requests,
will inform the student of the date, place, and
time of the hearing. Students may present
evidence relevant to the issues raised and
may be assisted or represented at the student's expense. The hearing panel which will
adjudicate such challenges will be the Vice
President of Student Affairs, representatives
from Student Affairs, and a faculty representative from the student's program of study.
Decisions of the hearing panel will be final,
will be based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing, will consist of written
statements summarizing the evidence and
stating the reasons for the decisions, and
will be delivered to all parties concerned.
The education records will be corrected or
amended in accordance with the decisions of
the hearing panel, if the decisions are in favor
of the student. If the decisions are unsatisfactory to the student, the student may place
with the education records statements commenting on the information in the records
or statements setting forth any reasons for
disagreeing with the decisions of the hearing

Education and Career
Partnership
Insurance
Student accident insurance covers the student during participation in official college
activities on or off the campus during regular
college hours when under the supervision
of an instructor or organization advisor. The
policy provides no payment of any kind for
injury, death, or any loss caused by injuries
sustained while operating or while a passenger in or on any two-or-three wheel motor
vehicle. The student insurance policy covers
only bodily injuries due to accidents and is
not guaranteed to pay the full amount on
any claim. Students who feel this coverage is
not sufficient should contact their insurance
agent for additional coverage.
The Education and Career Partnership is
designed to help students get a head start on
working toward industry-recognized certificate and/or licensure, an associate degree,
or beyond. The program includes rigorous academic and career related courses
through Programs of Study and Career
Pathways. Students may be able to take
college course work while in high school
through dual enrollment.
Liability Insurance
Accidents, Personal Illness or
Injury
Students who require medical treatment
for accidents/injuries that occur during their
scheduled college hours must complete
an Accident Report Form and return it to
Student Affairs to file a claim with their student insurance. The forms may be obtained
from their instructor or from Student Affairs.
If possible, an Insurance Information for
Accidental Injury Service Provider Form
should be taken to the medical facility at the
time of treatment. This form notifies the provider that an itemized statement is to be sent
to Student Affairs. The Service Provider form
may also be obtained from their instructor
or Student Affairs. When an itemized statement from the medical facility is received by
Student Affairs, a claim form is completed
and mailed to the insurance company. It is
the responsibility of the company to determine benefits to be paid.
Any student who becomes seriously ill or who
is injured on campus or at a college-related
activity should notify his/her instructor immediately. In the event the instructor is not available, the student should notify the Student
Affairs Office. First aid supplies for minor
injuries are available in many classrooms and
laboratories and in the Student Affairs Office.
For serious illness or injury which prevents
the student from transporting himself/herself
to get medical attention, the instructor will
call for an emergency vehicle (911) and then
notify the Student Affairs Office immediately.
Members from the Student Affairs Office will
aid in directing the emergency vehicle to the
appropriate location and arrange for someone
to remain with the ill or injured student so that
the instructor does not have to leave his/her
class unattended.
Accident Investigation
For every accident, an Accident Report
should be completed by the student and
instructor and forwarded immediately to the
Vice President of Student Affairs who will
forward copies of the report to the Safety
Coordinator for review and referral to the
Safety Committee.
56
Some programs have a liability insurance fee
that must be paid annually. These fees are
not covered by traditional financial aid (PELL
Grant, HOPE Grant, HOPE Scholarship,
etc.). The fees range from $10.20 to $42.60
depending on the program. Contact the
Office of Admissions or program advisor for
more information.

the world of work. GOAL students are an
indication of what technical education at its
best can achieve and of the caliber of individuals who are choosing Georgia's technical colleges.

Severe Weather
Definitions
A Tornado Watch means that weather
conditions are such that a tornado may
develop. A Tornado Watch issued by the
National Weather Service will be announced
over the intercom advising students and
faculty. Appropriate contacts will be made
to the Economic Development Center and
Welding Lab at the Oakwood Campus and
at the Dawson, Jackson County, Forsyth and
Winder-Barrow Campuses advising these
facilities of the situation. An announcement
will be made over the intercom when the
66
Tornado Watch has been canceled.
A Tornado Warning means that a tornado has formed and been sighted. A Tornado
Warning issued by the National Weather
Service will be indicated by the sounding of
sirens (series of blasts with a short pause
between each blast). Students must proceed
to designated hallway areas. Designated
areas will be explained in student orientation. Students on clinical assignment should
follow severe weather procedures for their
assigned office or hospital. When the Tornado
Warning has been canceled, students will be
signaled to return to class by reactivating the
siren.
Hazardous Weather: Any announcement of college closings due to inclement
weather will be made over the local radio
and TV stations. Every effort will be made to
announce the college closing by 6:30 a.m. If
day classes are canceled, evening classes
are also canceled.
Emergency Procedures
The health and safety plan and the physical operation plan is available to students
by calling the Office of the Vice President of
Administrative Services.
Emergency Evacuation: During emergencies, all individuals should proceed to their
designated assembly areas and remain
there until the all-clear signal is given. Under
no circumstances are students to go to their
automobiles or attempt to remove them from
the parking lot. All traffic lanes must be clear
for emergency vehicles and traffic. The primary and secondary routes for emergency
evacuation in case of fire or bomb threat are
posted in each department. Students should
become familiar with exit routes during student orientation.
Fire drills will be held periodically to familiarize students with the fire alarm system and
evacuation routes. Fire drills will be indicated
by a non-interrupted blast of the fire alarm.
When the fire alarm is sounded, all students,
faculty, and staff must exit the building immediately by their primary means of egress. If
the primary route is blocked by fire or explosion, the secondary egress route should be
used. Students will be signaled to return to
class by reactivating the fire alarm.
Bomb Threats will be indicated by an on-
going series of blasts from the fire alarm with
a short pause between each blast. That signal
should be easily distinguishable from the fire
alarm. If a bomb threat should occur, each
instructor must immediately escort students
from the building using the primary means of
egress. Students will be signaled to return to
class by reactivating the fire alarm.

Sexual Harassment
It is the policy of Lanier Technical College
to maintain a learning environment that is
free from sexual harassment. It is a violation
of the policy for any member of the college
staff to harass a student through conduct
or communications of a sexual nature as
defined below. It is also a violation of this
policy for students to harass other students
through conduct or communications of a
sexual nature. Unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other inappropriate oral, written or physical conduct of
a sexual nature when made by a member of
the staff to a student or when made by any
student to another student constitutes sexual
harassment when:
1. Submission to such conduct is made,
either explicitly or implicitly, as a term
or condition of an individual's education;
2. Submission to or rejection of such
conduct by an individual is used as the
basis for academic decision affecting
that individual; or
3. Such conduct has the purpose or
effect of substantially interfering with
an individual's academic or profes75
sional performance or creates an
intimidating, hostile or offensive academic environment.
Sexual harassment may include but is
not limited to:
• Verbal harassment or abuse
• Pressure for sexual activity
• Repeated remarks to a person with
sexual or demeaning implications
• Unwelcome touching
• Suggesting or demanding sexual
involvement accompanied by implied
or explicit threats concerning one's
grades, job, etc.
Any person who alleges sexual harassment
by a staff member or student in the college
may complain directly to the Office of the
President or by filing a written complaint with
the Vice President of Student Affairs. Filing
of a complaint or otherwise reporting sexual
harassment will not reflect upon the individual's status nor will it affect future employment, grades, or job assignments. The right
to confidentiality, both of the complainant
and of the accused, will be respected consistent with the college‘s legal obligations, and
with the necessity to investigate allegations
of misconduct and take corrective or disciplinary action.
A substantiated charge against an employee
shall subject such person to disciplinary
action including discharge. A substantiated
charge against a student shall subject that
student to disciplinary action including dismissal from the college.

with no voter registration requirement or
where voters can register at the time of voting). The institution must request forms from
the state 120 days prior to the deadline for
registering to vote in the state. In Georgia,
the deadline for registering is usually the fifth
prior to the date of the primary or election.
The law applies to all general and special

AND PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 ("FERPA"
or "BUCKLEY AMENDMENT"), 20
U.S.C. §1232g; 34 C.F.R. §99.1 et. seq.
FERPA regulates the disclosure and maintenance of student records at all institutions
that receive federal funds. Since the focus
of this summary is notification requirements,
the various requirements and prohibitions of
FERPA are not discussed. For detailed information and discussion of the requirements
imposed by FERPA see:
• Department of Education Family
Compliance Office web site at: www.
ed.gov/offices/om/fpco.html

• American Association of Collegiate
Registrars and Admissions Officers:
http://aacrao.com
• Association for Student Judicial Affairs:
http://asja.tamu.edu
• FERPA‘s notification provision (34
C.F.R. §99.7) requires postsecondary
institutions to give students an annual notice describing their rights under
FERPA. This annual notice must inform
students that they have the right to:
1) Inspect and review their education
records;
2) Request changes to their education
records that they believe are inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the
student‘s privacy rights; and
3) Consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information from their
education records, except to the
extent FERPA allows disclosure without consent (see 34 C.F.R. §99.63
and 99.64); and
4) File a complaint with the Department
of Education about the institution‘s
alleged failure(s) to comply with
FERPA.
The annual FERPA notice to students must
also include:
1) the procedure for exercising the right
to inspect and review their education
records;
2) the procedure for requesting amendment of their education records; and
3) the institution‘s policy on disclosing
education records to school officials
(under 34 C.F.R. §99.31(a)(1)) whom
the institution has determined have
a legitimate educational interest in
such records. The required annual
notice may be made "by any means
that are reasonably likely to inform
the …students of their rights." 34
C.F.R. §99.7(b). Institutions must use
effective means to notify disabled
students. 34 C.F.R. §99.7(b).
Drug Free Campus Act
In accordance with the Drug Free Schools
and Communities Act Amendments of 1989,
Lanier Technical College has implemented
a program to prevent the use of illicit drugs
and the abuse of alcohol by students and
employees.
Lanier Technical College expects faculty,
staff, and students to meet appropriate standards of performance, to observe basic
rules for good conduct, and to comply with
college Student and Personnel Policies and
Procedures. In the discharge of its responsibilities as an employer, Lanier Technical
College aggressively promotes and requires
a drug-free campus among its students, faculty, and staff.
Institutional standards of conduct clearly
prohibit the unlawful possession, use, or
distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on
campus or as part of any institutional-sponsored activities. Sanctions up to and including dismissal and referral for prosecution will
be imposed for the violation of these standards. The Office of Student Affairs provides
assistance to students with drug or alcoholrelated problems.
Criminal Sanctions: Federal law prohibits
the possession, manufacture, or distribution
of various controlled substances. Penalties
for these offenses vary depending upon the
severity of the convictions but may include
imprisonment of up to 40 years with large
fines. Penalties double when the offenses
occur within 1,000 feet of a postsecondary
educational institution.
Title 20-1 of the Official Code of Georgia
Annotated states that any student of a public
educational institution who is convicted under
the laws of the state, the United States, or
any other state of any felony offense involving the manufacture, distribution, sale, possession, or use of marijuana, a controlled
substance, or a dangerous drug shall as of
the date of conviction be suspended from the
public educational institution in which such
person is enrolled. Except for cases in which
the college has previously taken disciplinary action against a student for the same
offense, such suspension shall be effective
as of the date of conviction even though the
educational institution may not complete all
administrative actions necessary to implement such suspension until a later date.
Except for cases in which the institution has
already imposed the term, quarter, semester,
or other similar period for which the student
was enrolled as of the date of conviction, the
student shall forfeit any right to any academic credit otherwise earned or earnable for
such term, quarter, semester, or other similar
period; and the educational institution shall
subsequently revoke any such academic
credit which is granted prior to the comple-
tion of administrative actions necessary to
implement such suspension.
Title 20-3-2 of the Official Code of Georgia
Annotated specifies that any student organization functioning in conjunction with, incidental to the college which through its officers,
agents or responsible members knowingly
permits or authorizes the sale, distribution,
serving, possession, consumption or use of
marijuana, a controlled substance or dangerous drug at any affair, function or activity of
that student organization, social or otherwise,
which such sales, distribution, serving, possession, consumption or use is not in compliance with the laws of this state, shall be
expelled from campus for a minimum of one
calendar year from the year of determination
of guilt, which it is affiliated or at which it operates, with any and all leasing, possession or
use agreements respecting the student organization's use of institutional property to be
terminated by operation of law for any such
knowing, permission or authorization of the
unlawful actions defined in the Code section,
subject to the administrative review and hearing procedures set for in this Code section.
Failure to comply with any part of this program will result in serious adverse personnel
action, including dismissal or the requirement
that the offender satisfactorily participate in a
drug abuse assistance program which has
been approved for such purposes by a federal, state or local health, law enforcement,
or other appropriate agency.
Questions regarding this policy should be
directed to the Personnel Office.

Campus Security Act
The Student Right To Know and Campus
Security Act of 1990 requires that colleges who
participate in federal financial aid programs
maintain and report annually certain campus
security policies and crime information.
Lanier Technical College strives to provide a
safe environment in which to learn and work.
It is also our desire to promote the concept
that obeying laws and regulations is an
important part of being an educated member
of our community.
Campus safety and security and crime prevention are a part of the quarterly student
orientation and staff development programs
at Lanier Technical College. There is an
ongoing educational program to make students and staff aware of types or trends of
crime in our area, changes of behavioral patterns that may serve to protect the student,
and crime prevention information provided
by local law enforcement authorities. Lanier
Technical College sponsors a Wellness Fair
each year for faculty, staff, and students. The
Fair covers a wide range of topics such as
drug and alcohol information, health information, and crime awareness and prevention. Representatives from the local hospital
wellness programs, the Red Cross, and area
Sheriff's Departments are among the presenters invited to attend.
Campus Law Enforcement
Lanier Technical College employs off-duty
82
sheriff's deputies to patrol the campuses,
issue citations, assist with incident reports,
and provide security during business hours.
During college hours, criminal actions should
be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agencies such as the local Sheriff's
or Police Department. The college facilities
are open from 7:30 a.m. through 10:30 p.m.
Monday – Thursday and 7:30 a.m. through
4:00 p.m. on Friday.
During the evening hours, only the main
entrances into buildings are unlocked to
provide additional security for the students
attending during these hours. Consideration
is given to optimum security in the maintenance of campus facilities. The physical facilities are regularly inspected and maintained to
provide a safe campus. Areas are well lighted
and routinely checked and maintained.
Alcohol & Illegal Drugs
A complete statement of the college's policy
regarding alcohol and drugs is contained
in the information provided in the Code of
Conduct Policy statement.
Student Responsibility
Students are encouraged to be responsible
for their own safety and the safety of others.
The cooperation, involvement, and personal
support of students in a campus safety program are crucial to the success of the program. Students must assume responsibility
for their own personal belongings by taking
simple, common sense precautions. Keys
should be carried at all times and never lent
to others. Cars should be parked in lighted
areas and kept locked at all times. Valuables
should be concealed.
Statistics of Reported Crimes
Lanier Technical College is required to collect, publish, and distribute statistics concerning the incidence of crime on our campus.
The data collected includes occurrences of
the following criminal offenses: Murder, Sex
Offenses - Forcible or Non-forcible, Robbery,
Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Motor Vehicle
Theft, Liquor Law Violations, Drug Abuse
Violations, and Weapons Possessions.

Student Dress Code
Lanier Technical College recognizes that

the educational program. Furthermore, it is
recognized as an educational responsibility
of the college that students are made aware
that appropriate dress, appearance, and
hygiene are conducive to their personal wellbeing and the well-being of others.
Generally, common sense and good taste
should prevail in matters of dress. Because
of safety and other concerns in some programs, a professional dress code must be
established and enforced. This dress code
will be established with the approval of the
college’s administration. (For example, some
programs will require lab coats, uniforms,
long garments to protect the skin.)

and grooming by the student:
1.
2.
3.
4.

clinical courses are required to dress
appropriately according to the requirements of the work for which they are
being trained.
Shoes are to be worn at all times.
Longer knee length types of shorts
such as dress shorts, Bermudas, and
culottes are acceptable. Short shorts,
tight shorts and running/gym shorts
are not permitted.
Cleanliness of person and clothing is
required.
Use of offensive, obscene, and/or abusive words or symbols on clothing is
not permitted. This includes the use of
emblems, insignias, badges, or other
symbols or lewd or vulgar words where
the effect is offensive to a reasonable
person or otherwise causes disruption
or interference with the orderly operations of the college. The supervising
administrator shall determine if the particular mode of dress results in disruptions or interference.
Tank tops, halter tops, tube tops
or other top garments defined as
skimpy, scooped out at the neck and
shoulder, and/or showing excessive
amounts of skin area are types of
inappropriate dress.

childcare facilities. Anyone who has been convicted of a felony offense, or of neglecting or

Early Childhood Program Administrator Certificate
The purpose of this certificate program is to provide the necessary skills to administer and
manage a child-care business anywhere in the state of Georgia and to provide a career path
for people working in the field who wish to move into administration. This program is offered
by the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) department.
All applicants must have postsecondary credentials, a Child Development Associate (CDA)
credential, or approval of the department chair. The State of Georgia has a law regarding the
placement of persons with criminal records in childcare facilities. 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 a childcare facility. If you are affected
by this law, or think you may be, discuss your situation immediately with your advisor. Because
your employment options may be severely limited in the early childhood profession, a person
who has received an unsatisfactory criminal records check is discouraged from pursuing the
ECCE Program of Study and may need to reconsider their chosen field of study.
