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.
Lanier Tech 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
47,000 square foot administrative and classroom building. During the mid 1970s, Lanier
Tech'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. An
additional 47,000 square foot classroom addition building was added in 1996. The Forsyth
Campus is composed of two buildings. This
57,000 square foot facility opened in 1998.
Two other satellite campuses followed. In
2002 a campus opened in Winder and in
2003 a campus was opened in Commerce. In
2005, Lanier Technical College, established
its presence in cooperation with Hall County
Board of Education, at the Lanier Career
Center in Gainesville.
The first graduation was conducted in June
1967 when 51 students received diplomas. In
the fall of 2000, Lanier Tech began offering
Associate of Applied Technology degrees and
became a technical college.
Mission Statement
Lanier Technical College serves as the
leading workforce development resource for
Banks, Barrow, Dawson, Forsyth, Hall,
Jackson, Lumpkin, and North Fulton counties
by providing:
• Career-technical education programs leading to associate of applied technology
degrees, diplomas, and technical certificates of credit;
• Customized business and industry training
and economic development services;
8
• Continuing education for technical and professional development; and,
• Adult literacy and education services.
Vision

institution that provides instruction in occupational disciplines, student development services, adult literacy programs and services, continuing education for occupational advancement and personal enrichment, and economic development services to business and
industry. It is an integral part of a seamless
educational process.

lifelong continuing education to prepare the
adult population for entry-level employment,
job-promotion opportunities, career change,
retraining and upgrading of occupational
skills, or further educational pursuits.

to current and emerging market-based
needs.

which fosters and enhances excellence by
providing flexible and innovative services.
• Lanier Tech conducts marketing and public relations surveys which encompass
relations, business and industrial partnerships, external fund acquisition, student

Philosophy
Lanier Tech values quality education and lifelong learning, spanning the scope of societal
needs from basic skills preparation to employ-
ability training, retraining, and upgrading for

employer."
This guarantee is in effect for a period of two
years after graduation.
Adult Literacy
The Adult Literacy Program is specifically
designed for adults who have different needs,
backgrounds, and skills. Therefore, a flexible
program has been designed which meets the
needs of any individual who wishes to participate. Three levels of instruction have been
developed which extend from beginning reading and writing to high school completion
through the General Education Development
(GED) Program. The services are available in
the counties of Banks, Barrow, Dawson,
Forsyth, Hall, Jackson, and Lumpkin.
Adult Basic Literacy provides instruction for
reading readiness, basic mathematics skills,
and an introduction to writing and basic grammar.
Adult General Literacy provides instruction
in reading comprehension, reading in the content areas, mathematics, and language arts.
Adult Specialized Literacy provides instruction in reading, science, social studies, grammar and writing skills, and mathematics. This
level will develop the skills necessary for
completion of the GED examination.
General Educational Development (GED)
Test
Lanier Tech is an official GED Testing Center.
The test is administered at five locations
monthly. Successful completion of the GED
Test qualifies an individual for a State of
Georgia High School Equivalency Diploma.
GED credentials are accepted by industry,
government, licensing boards, technical colleges, Arts and Sciences colleges, universities, and employers as the equivalent to a
high school education.
The GED Test is a five-part test covering the
following subject areas: Writing, Social
Studies, Science, Reading, and Mathematics.

Lanier Technical College - Admissions
General Policy
The admissions policy and procedures of the
Georgia Board of Technical and Adult
Education and Lanier Tech 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 Tech are nondiscriminatory to any eligible applicant regardless of age, race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, marital status,
academic or economic disadvantage, or disability.
Lanier Tech 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 shall require that a
minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the course
work of a particular program be completed at
the technical college granting the
degree/diploma, provided however, that the
50% requirement maybe waived if the student has completed a program for which
standards have been implemented within the
Georgia Department of Adult Education
System.
State Resident Policy
A. Legal residence in the State of Georgia
requires not only recent physical presence in Georgia, but also the element
of intent to remain indefinitely. Each
College has the responsibility of evaluating each application while each student has the responsibility of conveying
current and accurate residency information. This information is used in deter
mining the appropriate fees to be paid
by each student.
B. To be classified as an in-state student
for tuition purposes, an individual who is
14
18 years of age or older must show that
he/she has been a legal resident of Georgia
for a period of no less than twelve months
immediately pre-ceding the date of registration.
1. In the absence of documentation
that the individual has established
legal residence in Georgia, no
emancipated minor or other person
eighteen years of age or older shall
gain in-state status while attending
any educational institution in this
state.
2. If a person is under 18 years of
age, such person may register as
an in-state student only upon show
ing that the supporting parent or
guardian has been a legal resident
of Georgia for a period of at least
twelve months immediately preceding the date of registration.
C. If a parent or legal guardian of a minor
changes his/her legal residence in
Georgia, a minor student may continue
to take courses for a period of twelve
consecutive months as an in-state student. After the twelve month period, the
student may continue the registration
only upon the payment of fees at the
out-of-state rate.
D. Aliens shall be classified as nonresident students; however, an alien who is
living in this country under an immigration document permitting indefinite or
permanent residence shall have the
same privilege of qualifying for in-state
tuition as a citizen of the United States.
E. In the event that a legal resident of
Georgia is appointed as guardian of a
nonresident minor, such minor will not
be permitted to register as an in-state
student until expiration of one year from
the date of court appointed, and then
only upon proper showing that such
appointment was not made to award
payment of out-of-state fees.
F. Out-of-state tuition may be waived for
exceptions as defined in this policy.
Definitions
(a) Educational institutions—An institution of higher education, public or
private, above the higher school
level.
(b) Student—A person enrolling in a
certificate, diploma or degree or pro
gram on a part-time basis.
(c) Minor Student—An unemancipated student under 18 years of
age.
Residency
The State Board 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 prescribed by the State Board for in-state
students.
2) Students who are residents of the United
States but do not otherwise qualify as
Georgia residents shall pay tuition and
fees prescribed by the State Board for
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.
Non-resident tuition may be waived, normally on a quarter-by-quarter basis, for an international student by the President. Provided
however, the number of such waivers shall
not exceed two percent of the head count of
student enrollment at the Technical College
in the immediately preceding Fall Quarter.
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 technical college requires students 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.
Procedure: Residency
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 instate residency 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 financially dependent upon a parent, parents, or
spouse who has been a legal resident of
Georgia for at least twelve consecutive
months immediately preceding the date
of registration; provided, however, that
such financial dependence shall have
existed for at least twelve consecutive
months immediately preceding the date
of registration;
3. Full-time employees of Georgia's
Technical Colleges, their spouses, and
their dependent children;
4. Full-time teachers in the public schools of
Georgia or in a post-secondary college,
their spouses, and their dependent children. 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;
15
8. International students when tuition has
been waived by the Technical College
President for a waiver; and
9. Career consular officers and their
dependents that are citizens of the foreign nation which their consular office
represents, and who are stationed living
in Georgia under orders of their respective governments. This waiver shall apply
only to those consular officers whose
nations operate on the principle of educational reciprocity with the United
States.
International Students
The Department recognized two types of
international students: (a) INS-Approved
International Students and (b) Other
International Students. The first category of
students are not U.S. residents, but have
obtained the appropriate INS approval and
documentation to attend a Technical
College. The second category of students
includes those students who are not U.S.
residents, but have provided documentation
that they have received a Georgia High
School Diploma, Georgia G.E.D., or other
documentation establishing they are legally
in the country, such as a green card.
Any student who claims that his or her status
has changed while attending a technical college may request the residency officer for a
re-classification, submitting relevant evidence in support of this claim. If the residency officer determines that a change in status
is appropriate, the new classification shall be
effective as of the beginning of the quarter
next following the determination. Decisions
on classification will be communicated to the
student in written form. Requests for a
change of classification will not be considered more than twice a year.
A student who ceases to become a Georgia
resident shall advise the college of their
change of residence and if college personnel
learn of a student's change of residence, it
may initiate a change in the student's residency status by so advising the residency
officer who shall consider the information as
he or she would regard any other residency
matter.
Any student who disagrees with his or her
classification as determined by the residency
officer may, appeal by use of the complaint
resolution process; however, the decision of
16
the President shall be final.
Emancipated and Unemancipated Students
The term "emancipated student" shall mean
a student who has attained the age of 18
years and whose parents and/or guardians:
1. Have entirely surrendered the right to the
care, custody and earnings of such student;
2. Have not claimed the student as a
dependent for tax purposes for two
years;
3. Do not provide regular financial assistance to the student; and
4. Whose income was not taken into
account by any private or governmental
agency furnishing financial education
assistance to the student, including
scholarships, loans, or otherwise.
If any of the aforesaid tests are not met, the
student shall be presumed to be unemancipated.
Unemancipated Students
Any unemancipated student whose parents
and/or legal guardians have been residents
of the state for one year immediately preceding the first class day of the first quarter
of the student's registration in a Technical
College shall be classified as a resident student as long as the parents and/or legal
guardians continue to be residents of the
state.
Any unemancipated student who initially was
classified as a non-resident student may
thereafter obtain reclassification only if the
student's parents and/or legal guardians
establish and maintain residence in Georgia
for a period of a least one year prior to the
first class day of the quarter for which the
student seeks to be reclassified as a resident
student.
The residency of an unemancipated student,
including those whose parents and/or
guardians are divorced or legally separated,
shall follow that of the parent or legal
guardian who has legal custody or the parent
or legal guardian who is responsible for the
financial support of the student, whichever
favors the student's request for resident student status.
An unemancipated student under guardianship shall be required to present satisfactory
documentary evidence of the appointment of
the legal guardian in addition to a certification of the residency of the guardian, which
shall be considered the residency of the student unless there are circumstances indicating that such guardianship was created primarily for the purpose of conferring resident
student status on the student.
An unemancipated student whose parent or
legal guardian is a member of the Armed
Forces and stationed in the state pursuant to
military orders shall be entitled to the classification as a resident student during any
quarter the first class day of which is encompassed by the orders.
If a parent or legal guardian of an unemancipated student ceases to be a legal resident
of Georgia, the student may continue to take
courses for a period of twelve consecutive
months as a resident student.
Emancipated Students
Any emancipated student may be classified
as an in-state student if the student meets
the following tests:
1. At the time of emancipation, the student's
parents and/or guardians were residents
of Georgia for one year immediately preceding the first class day of the first quarter of the student's registration at a
Technical College or other public institution of higher education, or having
become emancipated, the student establishes and maintains residency in
Georgia for one year immediately preceding the first day of the quarter of the
student's registration at a Technical
College or other public institution of
higher education; and
2. The student does not hold residency in
another state or foreign country; and
3. The student is and continues to be a resident of Georgia.
Any emancipated student who initially was
classified as an out-of-state student may
thereafter obtain reclassification as an instate student only if the student establishes
and maintains residency in Georgia for a
period of at least one year prior to the first
class day of the quarter for which re-classification as an in-state student is being sought.
A student from another state or foreign country who is enrolled at a Technical College for
more than 11 credits per quarter shall be presumed to be in Georgia primarily for educational purposes and will be presumed to
have not been a resident of the state during
the time so enrolled. Continued presence in
Georgia during vacation periods or occasional interruptions in the course of study will
not, of itself, overcome these presumptions.
Entrance Requirements
Applicants must complete and return all
required forms and credentials to the college
prior to open registration. Students are
encouraged to apply or update their applications well in advance of open 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
Tech 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 Colege may waive the “16 years of
age” requirement for secondary students
who are participating in an articlated program of study such as dual or joint enrollment.
A regular high school diploma or a General
Educational Development Diploma (GED) 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. A regular high school diploma or
GED is required for all associate degree programs prior to admission. 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 Tech.
A high school diploma or a GED is not
required as a prerequisite for entrance in all
diploma programs; however, prior to gradua17
tion from a diploma program at Lanier Tech,
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-to-Benefit (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 federal 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.
Admission Procedures
1.Submit a completed application and a $15
nonrefundable application fee to the
Admissions Office.
2. Submit an official copy of high school transcript or GED scores to the Admissions
Office. (Transcript request forms are available in the Admissions Office.)
3. Submit an official copy of all post-secondary transcripts to the Admissions Office.
Veterans must submit a copy of Form DD214
to verify courses completed in the military.
(Transcript request forms are available in the

4. Take the ASSET placement test. In lieu of
the ASSET, official scores on the SAT, ACT,
CPE, or COMPASS can be submitted. These
scores may be accepted provided that they
are no more than five years old. Official transcripts from a regionally accredited postsecondary institution documenting successful
completion (a grade of C or better) in equiv18
alent, 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. Applicants 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.
International Students
Individuals with permanent resident status
may be admitted under the same circumstances as any other eligible student. They
must complete the following requirements in
addition to the admission procedures for new
students:
1. Furnish an official English translation of
all secondary and postsecondary records
and an evaluation of those records performed by an independent evaluation service. Documentation of U.S. high school
equivalency is required for certain programs.
2. Provide ASSET, SAT, ACT, COMPASS or
CPE scores. If these scores are not available, report when scheduled for the admissions placement test. Foreign immigrants
who are permanent residents shall pay the
same tuition as citizens of Georgia. Note:
Lanier Tech does not issue I-20 VISAs.
3. Students who are not citizens or permanent resident aliens shall pay out of country
tuition which is four times the in-state tuition.
Double Majors
Lanier Tech does not allow a student to
enroll in two different programs at the same
time. A student must complete all require-
ments for one program before applying and
being accepted into another program.
Transfer Students
Applicants to Lanier Tech who have been
previously enrolled at a postsecondary institution will be considered for admission under
the following policies:
• Applicants who are in good standing at
their previous institution may be accepted in
good standing; and
• Applicants who are on academic probation at their previous institution may be

must:
• Submit an application and $15 nonrefundable application fee to Lanier Tech.
• Present a statement from the Registrar or
Academic Dean of the parent institution that
the student is in good standing and eligible to
return to that institution. Enrollment is usually limited to one quarter; and,

previously enrolled at a postsecondary institution and desire entrance into the Practical
Nursing program must meet all admissions
requirements of transfer students. In addition, these applicants must adhere to the
competitive admission process used by the
Practical Nursing program at Lanier Tech..
Applicants will then be admitted on a space
available basis within the appropriate course
sequence.
NOTE: If a transfer student has not exited
Developmental Studies courses at another
Georgia technical college, he/she will be
placed at the last level achieved at the previous institution. If a transfer student has not
exited Developmental Studies at any other
institution, he/she will be required to take the
portion of the ASSET (reading, writing, or
numerical skills) that he/she has not exited.
Tech Prep Program
The Tech Prep Program is designed to help
students get a head start on working in a
technical field or continuing their education
at technical or two year college. The program
includes a common core of math, science,
communications and technical courses
designed to lead to an associate degree,
technical diploma, or an apprenticeship in a
specific area. Students may be able to transfer high school course work to Lanier Tech or
exempt certain courses through academic
and/or performance testing.
Admissions Categories
Regular Admission of students to a program
is contingent upon their meeting statewide
admissions requirements and institutional
admissions requirements established for that
specific program and upon proper completion of all admissions procedures.
Provisional Admission of students to a program is based on an evaluation of test
scores and other admission file data by the
Office of Admissions and program faculty
and upon proper completion of all admissions procedures. Provisionally admitted students whose English, Math and/or Reading

Registration
23
Lanier Technical College - Registration
Registration
Registration dates will be published annually
in the school calendar. In-house memos, the
video information system, the school
newsletter, and other correspondence may
also be used to notify students and employees of registration dates and times.
Individual notices will be sent to new students only. Students are responsible for
keeping apprised of registration dates and
times. Contact the Office of Student Services
concerning registration information.
Registration Eligibility
Students who have received an official letter
of acceptance to the school and continuing
students not on academic suspension may
register for classes. Students enrolling under
the special admission provisions are also eligible to register for certain classes.
Registration Procedures
Registration for credit classes occurs in

registration held only for currently
enrolled students.
Pre-Registration – An early registration held for new students who have
completed all admission requirements.
Late Registration - An open-to-all
registration for new, current, and former students regardless of their
admissions classification.
Quarterly Course Schedule
The quarterly course schedule contains
information
concerning
registration.
Students are urged to become knowledgeable about these instructions and to follow
them explicitly. Any deviation from the prescribed procedure may result in unnecessary
delays in registration or errors in the resulting schedule. Advisors are available to students for academic advisement and scheduling of classes. Applicants will not be
approved for academic advisement and/or
registration until formally accepted by the
Admissions Office nor will they be permitted
to attend classes until registration has been
24
completed.
Matriculation
Registration is not complete until fees are
paid. Students who receive any type of financial aid must visit the Financial Aid Office
each quarter.
Full Time Student Status
A student must be registered for a minimum
of 12 quarter credit hours to be considered a
full-time student.
Maximum Number of Credit
Hours
A student may not register for more than 18
credit hours without approval from the Vice
President of Instruction, Vice President of
Operations, or their designee.
Registration Errors
It is the student's responsibility to complete
the proper forms and procedures for registration or changes to registration and to verify that his/her schedule of classes is correct.
The Registrar‘s Office cannot be held
responsible for errors resulting from the student's failure to execute the proper procedure or verify his/her schedule at the time it
is received. Any problems experienced at
registration or as a result of registration
should be reported immediately to the
Registrar.
Auditing Courses
A student who wishes to audit a course(s)
and receive no credit may apply as a special
admissions student if not already enrolled as
a regular student. By registering as an audit
student and paying the regular fees and
tuition, a student is permitted to audit a
course. Students auditing courses are not
required to take exams; however, the
instructor may request that students demonstrate required knowledge before being
allowed to perform certain tasks to operate
equipment. A student is not permitted to
change from audit to credit or from credit to
audit after the drop/add period. However, a
student will be permitted to register for the
course for credit at a later date. Students
desiring to change from audit to credit must
meet all necessary admission requirements.
A grade of "AU" will be entered on the permanent record. Courses taken on an audit
basis will not be used for certification for
financial aid, the President's List, Social
Security, or Veteran's Administration education benefits. To audit a class, a student
should contact his/her advisor or the
Admissions Office.
Adding Courses
Through the end of the fifth day of the quarter, a student may add a course to an already
existing schedule. To add a course, a student must obtain a Drop/Add Form from
his/her advisor, obtain the signature of the
advisor, sign and date the form, and submit it
to the Office of Student Services prior to the
close of the office on the fifth day of the quarter. Students who add a course may owe
additional tuition and fees (see Financial
Information).
Dropping Courses
Through the end of the fifth day of the quarter, a student may drop a course from an
already existing schedule. To drop a course,
a student must obtain a Withdrawal Form
from his/her advisor, sign and date the form,
and submit it to the Office of Student
Services prior to the close of the office on the
fifth day of the quarter. Note: This deadline is
strictly enforced. A student who drops a
course may be due a refund (see Refund
Policy).
Withdrawing From Courses
Through the end of the last day of the quarter, a student may withdraw from a course.
To withdraw from a course, a student must
obtain a Withdrawal Form from his/her advisor, sign and date the form, and submit it to
the Office of Student Services immediately
but no later than the close of the office on the
last day of the quarter.
Note: This deadline is strictly enforced. A student dropping a course on or after the first
day of the quarter but by the midpoint date of
the quarter will receive a grade of "W." A student who drops a course after the midpoint
date will be assigned a "WP" or "WF." A student who withdraws from a course prior to
the first day of the quarter or during the five-
day drop period may be due a refund of
tuition (see Refund Policy). Students on
financial aid should be aware that a drop or
withdrawal may affect their 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 Services immediately.
The Withdrawal Form must be turned in to
the Office of Student Services 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).
Note: 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 Services by the close
of the office on the last day of the quarter.
Note: Students who stop attending a class,
but do not complete a Withdrawal Form and
submit it to the Office of Student Services 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 their 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 their
25
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.
Note: 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 place in class.

* Based on fulltime enrollment
Some certificate programs (i.e. EMT, CMS, ACR) require higher tuition. Contact the Office of
Admissions for details. The cost of books, workbooks and other training materials will vary by
program.
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 Tech does not cash personal
checks.
• Checks made out to Lanier Tech should
be for the exact amount of tuition and
fees.
• Students should keep registration
receipts for future needs such as tax
information, reimbursement, etc.
• Students who register with Financial Aid,
i.e. HOPE and/or Pell are responsible for
assuring that their financial aid files are
complete prior to registration each quarter. Students who have Third Party agencies invoiced for their tuition and fees
must make sure that proper authorization
has been provided to the Financial Aid
Office prior to their scheduled registra-tion date. Third Party agencies include,
but are not restricted to: Vocational
Rehabilitation with the Georgia
Department of Labor, WIA, Workman’s
Compensation, Department of Veterans
Affairs Rehabilitation Services, Company
Billing and Georgia Department of Labor
Trade Act Training.
Refunds
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 Tech 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 calculat-
ed 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 Tech 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 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.
31
This is the amount of Title IV aid that
must be returned.
7. Calculate amount of unearned Title IV
aid due from the school. Multiply institu-tional 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 school. The
school must return the unearned aid for
which the school 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 school 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 Tech 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 Tech 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 school 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 school.
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
32
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 school 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 school
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 school 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
school may extend the refund period. There
will be no refund of fees (activity, 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 school after the one hundred
percent (100%) refund period has passed
will forfeit all rights to any benefits from the
school 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

Financial Aid Office. Lanier Tech Foundation
Scholarship applications will be reviewed

Federal Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant is a federal grant funded by

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

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

receiving Title IV (Pell Grant) are limited
to taking NO MORE THAN 50% of their

financial need.
• Students who withdraw from the college
before the 6th week of the quarter will
have their Pell award pro-rated.
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.

need, the availability of jobs, and the funding
provided to Lanier Tech by the Department
of Education. Students may apply by completing the FAFSA and a Lanier Tech Federal
Work-Study 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 Tech by the Department of Education.
FSEOG is awarded on a first come basis
until all funds are exhausted. Students may
apply by completing the FAFSA.

Assistance Partnership)

Assistance Partnership (LEAP) Grant
Program was created to provide educational

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 qualify as well
as provide assistance with daily travel and
childcare. Information and assistance may
be obtained by calling the Georgia
Mountains WIA at (770) 538-2727.

enrolled for less than 12 hours for each
of their first three terms.
• 1st tier recipients who enrolled for less
than 12 hours for each of their first three
terms must have a cumulative 3.0 GPA in
order to continue their HOPE
Scholarship eligibility.
HOPE Book Allowance
Students will be allotted a $100 book
allowance if they enroll in six or more credit
hours per quarter. For those students taking
five or less credit hours, the book allowance
will be $50. The bookstore will have the
authorized HOPE book allowances on file for
students who are eligible to receive a HOPE
book allowance on the first day of class for
the quarter. Online students who are eligible
for HOPE will be allowed to charge against
their HOPE book allowance and the bookstore will ship the books as soon as possible.
Students who wish to purchase books from
the bookstore by phone should be prepared
to provide the course number, book title and
ISBN number to the bookstore manager.
Students who DO NOT charge against their
HOPE book allowance at the bookstore will
receive their HOPE book checks during the
7th week of the quarter.
HOPE Reimbursement
Paying students who wish to apply for financial aid may submit the appropriate application to the financial aid office. Upon completion of their financial aid file, reimbursements
will be processed automatically for eligible
students. Reimbursements will be issued
during the 7th week of the quarter.
HOPE GED Voucher
Students who earn a GED on or after July 1,
1993, will receive a $500 voucher that can
be used for tuition, books, and supplies. At
Lanier Tech, this certificate can supplement
the HOPE tuition grant to purchase books or,
to assist with other educational expenses.

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 term 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
Beginning Fall term 2004 dual credit students who are simultaneously enrolled at an
eligible public Georgia high school and an
eligible Georgia public or private postsecondary institution, taking college degree
level courses can receive an Accel program
award. 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 for by Accel
will be included in the Combined Paid-Hours
limit, which includes payments from the
HOPE Scholarship, HOPE Grant, and Accel
programs.
Transient Students
Students who are currently enrolled at Lanier
Tech and will be taking courses from other
approved postsecondary institutions in
Transient status must have a Financial
Aid/Academic Transient letter completed by
Lanier Tech. Students must complete a
Request for Transient Status form which
may be obtained in the Student Service
Office. Transient letters are sent to the
appropriate institutions documenting financial aid and academic status.
Lanier Tech Satisfactory Academic
Progress Policy for Students
Receiving Federal or State
Financial Aid
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 Tech, 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 (withdrawal), WP (withdrawn passing),
and/or WF (withdrawn failing). Grades of U,
S, 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, U, I, IP, and F are not
considered satisfactorily completed hours
and will affect a student's future financial aid
eligibility.

The Offices of Student Services 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. Students must be enrolled in an eligible program to be approved for
federal or state financial aid.
Students
accepted
into
the
Developmental Studies 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.
2. 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 approved by the Secretary
of Education.
3. 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
7.

benefits.
Title IV aid can be awarded for online/Internet Courses to students
enrolled in diploma and degree programs; however, students are
limited to taking NO MORE THAN
50% of their courses via the Internet.
If a student exceeds the 50% limita
tion, they will not be eligible for Title
IV funds for the remainder of the
program.
"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 Developmental
Studies courses are considered to
be making satisfactory academic
progress unless they receive a
grade of "U." Developmental studies
courses are included in hours
attempted.Students are allowed to
receive financial aid for no more
than
45
credit
hours
of
Developmental Studies 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 school's academic policy
concerning the conversion of an
incomplete to a grade will be
followed. Each individual program of
study sets limits on the number of
times a course may be repeated.
Academic progress determinations
will be made quarterly after grades
have been posted.
To maintain eligibility for financial aid
at Lanier Tech, students must successfully complete 67% of all
cumulative credit hours attempted
and maintain a cumulative GPA
37
(grade point average) of 2.0.
Courses receiving grades of I, IP, W,
WP,
WF,
F,
and
U
(for
Developmental Studies) 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 dismissal 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 full-time 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 stu-dent'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
38
enrolled. After the first quarter, the
student will be responsible for meet
ing all Lanier Tech academic
progress requirements.
13. A student will be notified in writing by
the financial aid office if she/he 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. If a student
has circumstances that prevents
them from filing an appeal within the
ten (10) day deadline, they 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 cred
it 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 school terms. Freshmen
recipients who enroll for less than 12
credit hours for each of their first
three school 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 remedial 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 gradua
tion and hours exempted by examination do not count as hours
attempted and are not included
when calculating the HOPE cumula
tive 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 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.
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 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 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 HOPE
Scholarship & Grant 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 year.
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

Academic
Regulations
41
Lanier Technical College - Academic Regulations
Academic Information
The philosophy of Lanier Tech is to allow
every student the maximum opportunity to
graduate. The Georgia Department of
Technical and Adult Education implemented
a policy effective Spring Quarter 1992 which
required that, prior to graduation from Lanier
Tech, all students must receive a GED or a
high school diploma. The Adult Literacy component of Lanier Tech can advise students
on preparation and testing for the GED. For
further information, contact their office at
770.531.6363.
Attendance Regulations
1. The nature of the training programs at
Lanier Tech 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.
2. Students who are unable to attend class
or who will be late for class should make
every effort to call the College 770-5316300 (Oakwood Campus) or 770-7816800 (Forsyth Campus), 770-868-4080
(Winder-Barrow Campus), or 706-3351931 (Jackson County Campus) and
inform their instructor of their absence
or tardiness and give the reason.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
42
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 for Instruction 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 school day or before the
end of any class must secure the approval of
the instructor or instructors and will be counted tardy. In case of illness, the student must
check out of school 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.
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.
Withdrawals
Students who transfer or withdraw from
school must inform the Student Services
Office. All information should be in writing so
as to protect the student's scholastic record
and facilitate transfers to other schools or
employment. The school'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 stu-
dent who has not satisfactorily accounted for
all property and financial obligations.
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.
Students will receive a Work Ethics grade for
all courses except Developmental Studies.
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).
Advanced Placement
Students may be eligible for advanced
placement through three methods: transfer
credit, exemption credit, and artculated credit.
Transfer Credit
Lanier Tech recognizes previous postsecondary course work by accepting credits that
are applicable to the student's program of
study earned from other 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 submit 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 Tech;
• 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 Tech;
• A grade of "C" or higher has been
earned for the course to be trans
•
ferred;
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.
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 Tech 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
43
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 Services.
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 at
the Business Office 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.
Tech Prep Articulated Credit
Students enrolled in a Tech Prep program at
the secondary level may be able to articulate
credits to Lanier Technical College.
• Secondary articulated credit will be
transferred according to written agreements with secondary schools.
• Credit will be validated by holding it in
escrow until the student has successfully completed one quarter in his/her program of study.
• Secondary credits from schools where
there is no written agreement will be
evaluated in terms of the specific curriculum using the statewide articulation
guide.
• The determination will be made by the
Registrar in conjunction with Faculty
44
and Instructional Supervisors.
• No tuition will be charged for secondary
articulated credit.
Grading Policies
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
Students 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
Tech students:
90

Articulated Credit
Transfer Credit
An Incomplete (I) must be converted to a
grade before mid-term of the following quarter from the date the Incomplete was recorded or it will be converted to a punitive failing
grade.
An In Progress (IP Developmental Studies) must be converted to a grade of “S” before midterm of the following quarter from the date the “IP” was recorded or it will be converted to a
grade of “U” (Unsatisfactory Developmental Studies).
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
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: An "MLT" student's grades may appear as follows:
Credit Hours
Grade
Points
AHS 101 Anatomy & Physiology
5
B (3)
15
MLT 108 Microbiology
7
D (1)

EMP 100 Interpersonal Relations
3
A (4)
12
Total Points
34
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 school one full quarter before petitioning for readmission. A second
academic dismissal could constitute a final dismissal from the student's current program of
study.
45
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.*
Honor Roll
Students who maintain at least a 3.5 GPA
will be on the Honor Roll. Students must
have completed at least 12 credit hours in
the current quarter to be eligible for Honor
Roll.*
*Students accepted on a provisional basis or
those enrolled in a remedial class are ineligible for President's List or Honor Roll.
Students who receive a WP may be eligible
for President's List or Honor Roll assuming
all other requirements for President's List or
Honor Roll are met. Students who are involuntarily dropped will be ineligible for
President's List or Honor Roll.
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
developmental 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 trans46
ferability 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 school will
maintain the confidentiality of student educational records.
Lanier Tech accords all the rights under the
law to its students. No one outside the
school shall have access to nor will the
school disclose any information from student's educational records without the written consent of students except to personnel
within the school, 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 Tech 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
Instructional Services within the limitations of
their need to know.
Directory Information
At its discretion, the school may provide
directory information in accordance with the
provisions of the Act. The following information is considered by Lanier Tech as directory information and may be given without the
student's consent unless the student notifies
the Student Services Office and requests the
information be held: Dates of Enrollment and
Withdrawal, Honors Received, Date and
Place of Birth, Address, Program Enrolled,
Parking Tag Number, Date of Graduation,
Phone Number, Social Security Number
(may be verified but not dispersed as directory information), License Number, and
Degree, Diploma, or Certificate Earned.
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 school 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 Tech has been designated by the school to coordinate the
inspection and review procedures for student
education records, which include admissions, personal, academic, and financial
files, and academic, cooperative education,

to review his/her education record must
make written request to the 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).
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 school,
records of the law enforcement unit, student

Exceptions
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
school will permit access only to that part of
the record which pertains to the inquiring student. The school 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 for
Student Services 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 for Student Services, representatives from Student Services, and a faculty
representative from the student's program of
study.
47
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 panel. The statements will be placed
in the education records, maintained as part
of the student's records, and released whenever the records in question are disclosed.
Appeal
Any student who believes that adjudication
of his/her challenge was unfair or not in
keeping with provisions of the Act may
request, in writing, assistance from the
President of the school to aid him/her in filing
complaints with The Family Education Rights
and Privacy Act Office (FERPA), Department
of Education, Room 4074, Switzer Building,

On-Campus Services
for Students
Repair of Personal Items
Personal items belonging to students may
be repaired in the various labs. However, the
repairs will be done only when they contribute to the learning situation. Therefore, no
time or date of completion can be promised
and no guarantee will be given on the repair
work.
No item will be repaired without the consent
of the instructor involved. The school and
staff will not be held liable for items left for
repair; however, security procedures will be
in effect at all times to safeguard any items
left for repair. There will be no charge for
labor for any repair work done by the school.
61
The only charges will be a lab fee for each
item repaired and the cost for the parts and
supplies used to repair the item. Cost of the
parts and supplies will be the school's cost
plus 10 percent. All charges for repair work
completed must be paid at the Administrative
Services Office between the hours of 8:00
a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday
or 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Friday and the
receipt presented to the appropriate instructor before the repair item will be released.
Any item left over 30 days after notification of
completion of repairs will become the property of the school.
Class Rings And Pins
Representatives from the manufacturers of
the school ring will be available during the
school year to accept orders for rings or pins.
The school does not accept responsibility or
liability in these purchases.
Emergency Procedures
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 ongoing series of blasts from the fire alarm with
a short pause between each blast. That signal should be easily distinguishable from the
62
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. 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.
Business Hours
Normal business hours are from 7:30 a.m.

learning environment that is free from sexual harassment. It is a violation of the policy
for any member of the school 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

tile or offensive academic environment.
Sexual harassment may include but is not
limited to:

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.

wish, calculate a trans-fer-out rate.
The Secretary of Education may grant a
waiver of the requirements in this Section to
any institution that is a member of an athletic association or conference that has voluntarily published the completion or graduation
rate data which the Secretary determines
substantially comparable to the data

Drug Free Campus Act
In accordance with the Drug Free Schools
and Communities Act Amendments of 1989,
Lanier Tech has implemented a program to
prevent the use of illicit drugs and the abuse
of alcohol by students and employees.
Lanier Tech expects faculty, staff, and students to meet appropriate standards of performance, to observe basic rules for good
conduct, and to comply with school Student
and Personnel Policies and Procedures. In
the discharge of its responsibilities as an
employer, Lanier Tech 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 Services 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 school 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 completion 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, inci-
dental to the school 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.

The Student Right To Know and Campus
Security Act of 1990 requires that schools
who participate in federal financial aid programs maintain and report annually certain
campus security policies and crime information.
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.
Campus Security Act
Lanier Tech 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 Tech. 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 Tech 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 Tech employs off-duty sheriff's
deputies to patrol the campuses, issue citations, assist with incident reports, and provide security during business hours. During
school hours, criminal actions should be
reported to the appropriate law enforcement
agencies such as the local Sheriff's or Police
Department. The school facilities are open
76
Alcohol & Illegal Drugs
A complete statement of the school'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 Tech 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
dress and grooming of students are significant factors in the successful operation of
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
adhered to 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.)
80
The following regulations shall be observed
to cultivate a proper attitude toward dress
and grooming by the student:
1. Students enrolled in internships and clinical courses are required to dress appropriately according to the requirements of
the work for which they are being trained.
2. Shoes are to be worn at all times.
3. 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.
4. Cleanliness of person and clothing is
required.
5. 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.
6. 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.
** For documented medical reasons, the
administration is authorized to approve
exceptions to the above requirements.
