General Information

Middle Georgia College is a state college of the University System of
Georgia and awards the Associate of Arts degree, Associate of Science
degree, Associate of Applied Science degree, and select Bachelor of Science
degrees. The college offers a wide range of programs of study designed for
transfer to four-year institutions and others designed to prepare the
student for entry directly into business, industry, and other careers. The
academic programs of the college meet the requirements of the Core
curriculum, as approved by the University System of Georgia, to facilitate
the transfer of credits to the four-year institution of the student’s choice.
Middle Georgia College’s Dublin Campus offers higher education
programs, courses, and services at the two-year degree level.. The Georgia
Aviation Campus (formerly the Georgia Aviation and Technical College),
located in Eastman, became a part of Middle Georgia College on July 1,
2007. That campus offers several aviation technical certificates and
Associate of Applied Science degrees.
Students enroll at Middle Georgia College from throughout Georgia,
other states, and other countries.
Location
As its name indicates, Middle Georgia College is located almost
exactly in the center of the state of Georgia. The main campus is on the
edge of Cochran, a city with a population of over 5,000, forty miles south
of Macon. Interstate highways 16 and 75 are a few minutes to the east and
west of Cochran. The Dublin Campus is located on approximately 48 acres
in Dublin, 32 miles east of Cochran. The Georgia Aviation campus in
Eastman sits on approximately 22 acres and is 17 miles south of Cochran.
History
Middle Georgia College had its beginning as a denominational
institution, the College of the New Ebenezer Association. The association
was composed largely of Baptist churches in Pulaski, Dodge, Laurens, and
Telfair counties.
The establishment of the institution was authorized by the association
on October 20, 1884. The first building was constructed during 1885 and
1886. Instruction began on January 10, 1887, with approximately a
hundred students, most of whom were from the middle Georgia area.
During the early period, the institution was divided into preparatory
and collegiate departments. A stated purpose of the curriculum, as
described in the catalog of 1887, was ―to prepare pupils for business or for
the Junior Class in Universities. This includes Latin, Greek, Mathematics,
Natural Science and several modern languages, with English studies and
Music.‖ Thus, the two-year college idea was among the primary intentions
of the founders. On August 21, 1917, an agricultural and mechanical
school for the Twelfth Congressional District was established to continue
10
the educational services for the area on the same campus. This school was
chartered as one of the branches of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, a department of the University of
Georgia.
On August 20, 1927, the Middle Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical
Junior College was established. This, too, was a branch of the University
of Georgia. The name was changed to Middle Georgia College, and the
operation of the college was placed under a nine-man board of trustees on
August 28, 1929.
Middle Georgia College was placed under the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia, a constitutional body, as a separate unit of
the University System on August 27, 1931. The Dublin Campus was
opened in Dublin in 1984 and became the Dublin Campus in January 2009.
The Georgia Aviation campus opened in January 1996 as a branch of
the Heart of Georgia Technical Institute. On July 1, 2001, the Georgia
Aviation and Technical College became a stand-alone technical college
and merged with Middle Georgia College on July 1, 2007.
Mission and Goals

Middle Georgia College (MGC) is a state college of the University
System of Georgia with a focus on providing constituents access to
certificate, associate, and select baccalaureate programs in academic
transfer or occupation-related programs of study. The College is
dedicated to providing a dynamic, learning-centered, caring and
technically advanced environment of excellence. As a multi-campus,
residential institution, the College pursues innovative opportunities to
provide services to its traditional and non-traditional students primarily
from rural areas of south central Georgia and will maintain a recognized
legacy of affordable higher education and community support services of
the highest quality. MGC provides undergraduate education addressing
the economic development needs of Georgia’s heartland, and serves as the
only public, comprehensive higher education institution of aviation for the
state of Georgia.
To accomplish its mission, MGC commits to the following goals:
Promoting a campus-wide commitment to student learning
that is embedded in course and program design, teaching,
achievement, and student development activities.
Providing the highest quality classroom and/or advanced
distance learning instruction that enriches and challenges
learners in all programs at all levels.
Creating a welcoming campus community that nurtures a
culturally and ethnically diverse student body.
11
Offering programs of excellence leading to certificates and
degrees to prepare students for immediate employment
and/or acceptance to baccalaureate degree programs.
Offering a signature aviation program that is the only
comprehensive public curriculum in Georgia leading to select
baccalaureate degrees in aviation management as well as
certificate and associate programs in flight and aviation
technology specialties that prepare students for immediate
employment, careers, and further study in aviation.
Providing the Georgia Academy of Aviation, Mathematics,
Engineering, and Sciences (GAMES) program, which
challenges gifted students to experience the rigors of higher
education at an earlier entrance.
Providing the support resources, services, and learning
activities that enhance student learning, facilitate student
success, and promote personal enrichment.
Providing and supporting an adaptive, effective, and efficient
human and physical infrastructure that maintains and
supports the learning environment.
Creating a campus environment of civic engagement that
improves the overall quality of life within the communities
the College serves.
The College achieves these goals by offering the following programs

and services:
1. Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management with options in
Flight, Air Traffic Control, Airport Management, and
Logistics.
2. Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood/Special Education.
3. Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice will be offered fall
semester 2011 (pending SACS approval).
4. College Transfer Programs leading to an associate degree
prepare the student for entry into, and successful completion
of, a baccalaureate degree program at a senior college or
university. Programs are offered in the humanities, sciences,
social sciences, and pre-professional areas. The College’s pre-
engineering programs, including the Regents Engineering
Transfer Program, have earned a statewide reputation for
excellence.
5. Career Programs at the certificate and associate degree levels
prepare students for employment immediately following
graduation. A limited number of career programs, with
12
emphasis in health sciences and nursing, are offered to meet
the employment needs of area business and industry.
6. Aviation technical certificates and Associate of Applied
Science degree programs.
7. General Education courses are an integral part of all transfer
and career programs, providing students with the skills,
knowledge, and attitudes necessary to be effective employees,
consumers, and community members.
8. Learning Support Programs are provided for those students
who need to improve their basic academic skills in order to
succeed in the transfer or career program of their choice.
9. Student Support Services enhance student learning and
provide a campus environment conducive to personal
development. The unique nature of a residential two-year
college provides students with tremendous opportunity for
participation in a diverse campus life which supports
academic, professional, social, athletic, and leadership
development.
10. Community Service Programs support the economic and
cultural development of the communities in middle Georgia,
the personal and professional development of the citizens of
these communities, and the overall quality of life in the area.
Middle Georgia College is committed to access and excellence in all of

these programs and services. Access is promoted by offering courses and
services at convenient times and locations, by maintaining affordable
educational costs, and by utilizing an admissions policy that facilitates the
inclusion of all who can benefit from the courses and programs offered.
Excellence is fostered by providing a caring environment for students, a
teaching faculty dedicated to student learning, small classes, state-of-the-
art instructional technology, and a rigorous academic program which
maintains high standards.

Campus Life
22
The Mission and Goals of Middle Georgia College (preceding chapter)
include the academic, intellectual, social, and personal development of the
student. Basically, the student’s poise and growth must be developed
through academic work in the field of his or her choice. Beyond this, the
college places strong emphasis upon a mature demeanor on the part of its
students in the varied social situations which life on the campus and in the
surrounding community affords.
These socials situations include living in college residence halls,
participation in extra-curricular activities, representing the college at off-
campus events, and participation in other activities in the community.
Responsible participation, rather than regulation, in all phases of college
life is considered the best assurance of acceptable conduct and personal
development of the student.
Regulations are designed to provide for the orderly pursuit of the
College’s stated mission and goals and to provide an atmosphere which is
conducive to the academic and social growth of students. Regulations are
also designed to assure the safety and well-being of students.
The college strives to maintain throughout the campus community a
climate that will permit students to take full advantage of the educational
opportunities which the college provides. To accomplish this, it is
necessary to regulate or prohibit behavior that would not necessarily be
undesirable under different conditions. A college community brings
together persons of widely varying social and religious convictions,
personalities, educational-vocational objectives, and personal interests.
Behavior that would offend students or distract from the educational
opportunities of other students should not be permitted. The Student
Handbook contains more details on student conduct.
Alcohol and Drug-Free Schools Policy Statement

In compliance with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of
1989 (PL 101-226), Middle Georgia College policy prohibits the unlawful
possession, use, or distribution of drugs and alcohol by students and
employees on the properties of Middle Georgia College or as any part of
the institution’s activities. Middle Georgia College recognizes that the
illegal activities listed in this policy can clearly affect one’s ability to
perform one’s duties and can pose a potential danger not only to oneself
but to others at the institution. Therefore, Middle Georgia College will
impose sanctions on students and employees which are consistent with
local, state, and federal law. The Middle Georgia College Alcohol and
Drug Free Campus Policy and ―other items of information‖ as required by
this Act are distributed annually to each student and employee. See
Student Handbook at http://www.mgc.eduVWXGHQWKDQGERRN
23
Conduct Information and Regulations
College regulations provide guides for college life. A student is
expected to display an attitude in which cooperation, good judgment, and
good taste are standards of college life. Regulations are designed to protect
the interest and well-being of students, the college, and society.
Disciplinary measures are designed to be corrective and beneficial to the
educational development of students. Anyone registered as a student of
the college is subject to the regulations outlined in the Student Handbook
which is published online at KWWSZZZPJFHGXVWXGHQWKDQGERRN. All
students have an obligation to read the Student Handbook.
Violations
When a student is charged with violation of the conduct regulations,
disposition of the case shall be according to constitutional requirements,
due process, and in keeping with the procedures outlines in the Student
Handbook which can be accessed at http://www.mgc.edu/student/handbook
Any student who is guilty of violating college regulations or who is
financially indebted to the college will be ineligible for readmission until
clearance is granted by the appropriate college official.
The college’s conduct code, regulations, appellate procedures, and
possible sanctions are outlined in the Student Handbook.
MGC Police Department Policies

The Middle Georgia College Police Department is a state law
enforcement agency with the same police powers as any city or county law
enforcement agency. It is comprised of both sworn police officers and
civilian personnel. All of the police officers are certified by the Peace
Officer Standards and Training Council (POST) of Georgia. Each certified
officer is mandated by law to receive a minimum of twenty hours of POST
certified training annually.
The MGC Police Department shares an excellent working relationship
with the other local law enforcement agencies, including the Cochran
Police Department, Bleckley County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia State Patrol,
and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The Cochran campus is patrolled
by police officers seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, in an effort
to protect the safety and security of students, employees, and visitors.
Upon report of any suspicious activity, crime, or emergency situation,
an officer is dispatched immediately to assess the situation and take
appropriate action.
In accordance with the requirements of The Student Right to Know
and Campus Security Act (PL 101-542), the MGC Police Department
publishes an annual report of campus security policies and crime
occurrences on campus. The complete report is available upon request to
students and any other interested persons. A copy of the most current
24
Campus Security Report is available upon request from the MGC Police
Department or the Admissions Office. Campus security statistics may also

equivalent competence in each of the CPC areas at the college preparatory
level may be used in lieu of the academic core GPA and Carnegie unit
requirements of the CPC. A student whose SAT I Composite (Critical
Reading/Verbal plus Mathematics) score is at or above 920, the average
SAT I score of the previous year’s fall semester first-time freshman
admitted to Middle Georgia College, and who has completed the
equivalent of each of the CPC areas as documented in the Home School
Application for Admission or official high school transcripts qualifies for
consideration for admission. For students with ACT scores, the ACT
composite score of 19 is required. Students in this category must also meet
the SAT I Critical Reading/Verbal score of 430 (or ACT English 17) and
the SAT I Math score of 400 (or ACT Math 17).
Students admitted in this category with satisfactory documentation of
CPC competence in all areas will be counted in the institution’s or
admissions category. Those with qualifying SAT I scores and
documentation of partial CPC completion may be admitted on the same
basis and with the same conditions as other students with CPC
deficiencies. Students with an SAT score below 910 with complete or
partial CPC’s will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Applicants from home schools or graduates of non-accredited high
schools do NOT have to take the GED to be considered for admission to

Academic Renewal Policy

University System of Georgia undergraduate students who have been
readmitted or reinstated after a period of absence of five (5) calendar years or
longer are eligible for academic renewal. Academic renewal for the student signals
the initiation of a new grade point average to be used for determining academic
standing. This provision allows University System of Georgia degree-seeking
students who earlier experienced academic difficulty to make a fresh start and
have one final opportunity to earn an associate or bachelor's degree (BR Minutes,
June, 1995, p. 7).
I. All previously attempted coursework continues to be recorded on the
student's official transcript.
A. A renewal GPA is begun when the student resumes taking coursework
following approval for Academic Renewal.
B. The Academic Renewal GPA will be used for determining academic
standing and eligibility for graduation.
1. To earn a degree, a student must meet the institution's residency
requirements after acquiring academic renewal status.
2. At least 50% of work toward a degree must be completed after the
granting of Academic Renewal status for a student to be eligible for
honors at graduation.
C. Academic credit for previously completed coursework -- including
transfer coursework -- will be retained only for courses in which an A, B
or C grade has been earned.
1. Retained grades are not calculated in a Renewal GPA. Such credit is
considered in the same context as transfer credit, credit by
examination, and courses with grades of "S."
2. Courses with D or F grades must be repeated at the Academic
Renewal institution if they are required in the student's degree
program. Further, all remaining courses for the current degree
objective must be completed at the Academic Renewal institution,
i.e., no transient credit will be accepted.
3. Applicability of retained credit to degree requirements will be
determined by the degree requirements currently in effect at the time
50
Academic Renewal status is conferred on the student. Specific
institutional program regulations must also be met.
II. A student can be granted Academic Renewal status only one time.
III. Transfer Credit
A. Suspended/dismissed students: a student who has been
suspended/dismissed from a System institution and has attended one or
more System institutions during the period of suspension/dismissal will
not be eligible for Academic Renewal.
B. Non-suspended/dismissed students: a student who has not been
suspended/dismissed from a system institution but who has been absent
from that institution five years or more and who has attended a school
other than that institution may choose only one of the following options:
1. A student may return to the same institution subject to all relevant
transfer and reentry policies. No renewal GPA is calculated and
transfer credit will be granted for applicable courses taken during the
absence.
2. A student may apply for Academic Renewal. If Academic Renewal
status is approved, no transfer credit will be granted for coursework
completed during the absence.
IV. Any scholastic suspensions which occurred in the past shall remain
recorded on the student's permanent record. If a suspension (either first or
second) is on the record and the student encounters subsequent academic
difficulty after having been granted Academic Renewal, the next suspension
would subject the student to dismissal.
V. If a student does not request Academic Renewal status at the time of re-
enrollment after a five year or greater period of absence, the student may do
so within three semesters of re-enrollment or within one calendar year,
whichever comes first.
A. The Renewal GPA begins with the semester following re- enrollment.
VI. Reentry into any program is not automatic.
VII. If a student is denied Academic Renewal and subsequently does not re-
enroll, he/she may resubmit an Academic Renewal application after no fewer
than three semesters have passed since the initial petition.
VIII. Each System institution shall establish specific evaluative criteria and
specific procedures for evaluating an application for Academic Renewal.
IX. The granting of Academic Renewal does not supersede financial aid policies
regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress.
X. The granting of Academic Renewal does not supersede the admissions
requirements of certain programs, e.g., teacher education, nursing, which
require a specific minimum grade point average based upon all coursework.
XI. Any currently enrolled student who has experienced an interrupted five
year (or longer) period of nonattendance at the institution in which he/she is
currently enrolled, may apply for an Academic Renewal GPA.
51
A. For currently enrolled students, there is a one year "window of
opportunity" for requesting Academic Renewal status commencing with
the effective date of this policy.
B. The Academic Renewal GPA will include all coursework taken since re-
enrollment.
XII. This policy becomes effective upon the date of favorable action by the Board
of Regents.
Definition of Terms for the Purpose of these Procedures:
Suspension -- a temporary separation from an institution. A suspension may (a)
be for a specified period of time or (b) indefinite. Upon expiration of the period of
suspension, the student is eligible to re-enroll. A student under indefinite
suspension must petition for reinstatement to the president of the institution.
Dismissal-- a permanent separation of the student from the institution. A student
who is dismissed is not eligible to return to the institution.
Above policies are taken from the Academic Affairs Handbook of the
University System of Georgia.
In order to comply with and abide by the Board of Regents’ policies and
criteria, MGC uses the following guidelines for Academic Renewal (AR).
1. Degree-seeking students who have experienced academic
difficulty at Middle Georgia College are allowed ONE
opportunity to make a fresh start after an absence of five calendar
years from any postsecondary institution which required a high
school transcript for acceptance.
2. Students must apply for Academic Renewal, and Academic
Renewal will be granted upon application by the student.
3. All previously attempted course work continues to be recorded on
the student’s official transcript. The cumulative grade-point
average (CGPA) that includes all college-level credit courses taken
AND an Academic Renewal Grade-Point Average (AR-GPA) will
be shown on each Academic Renewal student’s permanent record.
4. An AR-GPA is begun when the student resumes taking course
work following the five-year period of absence. A statement will
be placed on the student’s transcript indicating the Academic
Renewal status and the beginning of a separate Academic
Renewal GPA in addition to the required Board of Regents CGPA.
5. The AR-GPA will be used for determining academic standing and
eligibility for graduation.
6. Academic credit for previously completed course work, including
transfer course work, will be retained only for courses with an A,
B, C, or S grade. Retained grades are not calculated in the AR-GPA
but are counted in the Academic Renewal Hours Earned.
52
7. To earn a degree, MGC residency requirements must be met.
MGC will apply the retained hours earned prior to Academic
Renewal (i.e. A, B, C, S grades) toward the residency requirement.
8. Any scholastic suspensions that occurred in the past will remain
recorded on the student’s permanent record.
9. A student may request Academic Renewal status upon re-
enrollment after a five year or greater absence from any
postsecondary institution, or the student may do so within two
academic semesters of re-enrollment or within one calendar year,
whichever comes first.
10. The AR-GPA begins with the first term following re-enrollment.
11. Re-entry into any academic program is not automatic.
12. The catalog in effect at the time of Academic Renewal is granted
(or, at the student’s option, the catalog in effect at the time of
graduation) will be the catalog used for graduation requirements.
13. Academic Renewal does not supersede financial aid policies
regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress.
14. For selective admission programs, if a student has declared
academic renewal, the student must earn at least 12 credit hours
post academic renewal, and the GPA earned in those credit hours
will be used for eligibility and selection. Students applying to
programs which use a core GPA in selection may choose to repeat
such courses post academic renewal and only the post academic
renewal grade will be used in selection. Students are strongly
urged to meet with their advisor to discuss academic renewal
benefits.
15. U.S. and Georgia history and constitution requirements met prior
to granting Academic Renewal will remain on the student’s
permanent record even though the courses may not count in the
AR-GPA. Also, Regents’ Test scores prior to Academic Renewal
will remain on the student’s record. Further, MGC will count all
hours earned prior to Academic Renewal in regards to Regents’
Test, College Preparatory, and other Board of Regents’ Policy
requirements.
Transfer Credit Policy

The following is a brief description of the general guidelines used to
evaluate transfer credits at Middle Georgia College. This list does not
guarantee the student any certain result and is meant only as an
explanation of the procedures. Middle Georgia College has established
these policies in compliance with the standards established by the
University System of Georgia.
53
Middle Georgia College is the final arbiter of acceptance or non-acceptance
of transfer credit. In making decisions regarding the acceptance of transfer
credit, MGC relies on such information as the accreditation status of the
transfer institution but does not rely solely on this information.
In order for credit to be evaluated, transfer students must provide final

official academic transcripts to Middle Georgia College. Failure to report a
previous college attendance at the time of admission or readmission is
sufficient cause for cancellation of the student’s enrollment and of any
credit earned at Middle Georgia College. All academic credit attempted at
previous regionally accredited institutions will be reviewed by Middle
Georgia College and may be transferred at full value provided the course
content is comparable to that of a course offered by Middle Georgia
College.
Once the student has been accepted and final official transcripts have been
received from ALL former institutions attended by the student, the
Registrar’s Office at Middle Georgia College will complete an evaluation
of transferrable credits. A copy of this evaluation is available to the
student and the advisors through Banner Web. Students who do not have
a Banner Web account may request a copy of the transfer evaluation from
the Registrar’s Office at Middle Georgia College.
Some transfer students may be required to participate in the Middle

Georgia College placement examination process and, based on those
results, may be required to enroll in Learning Support courses. Students
with Learning Support requirements at their previous institution may be
admitted only in accordance with the Learning Support policies and
procedures established by the University System of Georgia and Middle
Georgia College. In order for a student to receive transfer credit for
Learning Support courses, the student must have taken the remedial
course and successfully passed the Compass exit exam at a Commission
on Colleges accredited, University System of Georgia institution and
earned a grade of ―C‖ or higher. Students who have not exited an area at
their previous institution will be bound by Middle Georgia College
Learning Support requirements. Middle Georgia College may require
additional testing to help determine an applicant’s qualifications for
admission.
If the student has taken and made an acceptable grade in US History in the
University System of Georgia, it will satisfy the Georgia and US History
requirements for graduation. However, if they have taken US History
outside the state of Georgia, it will only transfer in for the course itself. If
the student has taken and made an acceptable grade in Political
54
Science/American Government in the University System of Georgia, it
will satisfy the Georgia and US Constitution requirements for graduation.
However, if they have taken Political Science/American Government
outside the state of Georgia, it will only transfer in for the course itself.
For both of these requirements, if taken outside the state of Georgia, an
exemption exam is offered to satisfy the graduation requirements.
Credits accepted in transfer by Middle Georgia College do not necessarily

apply as hours toward graduation. These apply only if they meet
requirements for the students’ designated degree choice. The total
number of hours that may be earned toward a degree by either extension
or correspondence courses shall not exceed thirty semester credit hours.
The number of credits accepted shall also be limited by the degree
residency policy in the Graduation Requirements section of the Middle
Georgia College General Catalog.
Students who wish to receive credit from International institutions abroad

must submit, at the student’s expense, their final official transcript(s) to an
approved international credentials evaluation service in order for the
translated final official transcript(s) to be forwarded on to Middle Georgia
College. Course descriptions, if needed, will require the same process.
If a student desires reconsideration of a decision by the Registrar’s Office

awarding or not awarding credit, additional consideration will be given if
the student provides a copy of the catalog course description as well as a
completed ―Transfer Credit Reconsideration‖ form. This form is available
through the Registrar’s Office at Middle Georgia College.
Important General Information:

Courses transferred for credit from other institutions must have an
overall transferrable Grade Point Average of 2.0 or higher.
Middle Georgia College reserves the right to not accept transfer
credit for coursework taken by a student while excluded from
enrollment for any reason from other institutions of higher
education.
Middle Georgia College retains the right to determine the amount
of credit to be awarded.
No credit will be given for the same class more than once. This
includes repeat courses as well as courses taken at two separate
institutions. For repeat courses, the most recent grade will be
accepted.
55
In order to receive credit for any course which requires separate
lecture and lab course sections, the student must have successfully
completed BOTH the lecture and lab portions of the course. No
partial credit will be awarded.
All course work is transferred in under the Semester System.
English and math credit (defined by USG as the mini-core) earned
at technical colleges accredited by SACS-COC will be accepted as
transfer credit.
Technical credit earned at technical colleges will be considered for
transfer if the institution is accredited by SACS-COC, another
regional accreditation body, or COE.
For information on credit earned through CLEP examinations,
please see the CLEP portion of the catalog in the Admissions
section.
In general, the college does not award credit for experiential
learning. However, the college reserves the right to award credit
for courses required to obtain professional certification or
licensure upon presentation by a student of official documentation
of professional certification or licensure.
Due to the merger of Georgia Aviation Technical College, formerly

accredited by the Council on Occupational Education, COE, and Middle
Georgia College, accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the following revisions
have been made in the acceptance policy of technical credit from Georgia
Aviation Technical College, now known as the Georgia Aviation Campus
of Middle Georgia College.
All technical credit awarded by Georgia Aviation Technical
College to students prior to the merger and for which a course
equivalent has been established by Middle Georgia College will be
accepted.
When considering transfer credit from a non-accredited Part 141 or Part
147 school, Middle Georgia College will evaluate and consider acceptance
of the credit for equivalent courses that are required for the following
programs of study and/or degrees:
Aviation Maintenance Technology or programs of study
developed under the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, Part
147 regulations.
56
Upon submission of a current FAA license(s), Middle Georgia
College will give credit for courses that are required to obtain a
current FAA license(s).
Taking Courses at MGC as a Transient Student

A student who has taken work in a college or university may apply for
temporary registration in MGC. Such a student will ordinarily be one who
expects to return to the college or university in which he or she was
previously enrolled.
The following policies shall govern the admission of students on a
transient status:
1. The admissions officer of MGC must have evidence that the
institution the student previously attended was an accredited or
approved institution.
2. An applicant will be accepted as a transient only when it appears
that the applicant’s previous academic work is of a satisfactory
quality. The director of admissions shall have the right to require
the applicant to submit a transcript from all of the applicant’s
previous college work.
3. An applicant for admission as a transient student must present a
statement from the registrar of the institution which the student
last attended recommending the student’s admission as a transient
student.
4. In case of doubt about the qualifications of an applicant who seeks
admission as a transient student, the director of admissions may
classify the applicant as a transfer student and require the
applicant to comply with all regulations regarding the admission
of transfer students.
5. Because a college’s primary obligation is to its regularly enrolled
students, MGC will consider the acceptance of transient students
only when their acceptance will cause no hardship or
inconvenience to the institution or its regularly enrolled students.
Taking Courses at Other Institutions as a Transient Student

A student currently enrolled in and actively seeking a degree from
MGC may enroll as a transient student at another accredited institution
with the permission of MGC. The student wishing to pursue transient
coursework should initiate the approval process by completing the
Transient Permission Form at www.mgc.edu/forms and discussing this
option with an appropriate academic advisor. The student must seek
permission and the College will decide on a course-by-course basis. The
student must obtain permission before registration for each term in which
the student will pursue transient credit. No credit will be awarded for
57
grades less than ―C‖. Regardless of grade obtained, transient courses taken
at other institutions will not count toward the student’s Middle Georgia
College institutional grade-point average calculation.
Taking all Online Courses

Students enrolling in the online only courses through Middle Georgia
College will be assessed an online rate fee that will remove the mandatory
parking, activity, and athletic fees. Students who wish to be classified as
―Fully Online‖ students will need to submit the Fully Online Declaration
form located at http://www.mgc.edu/admissions/onlinestudent.cfm to
the Division of Online Learning prior to registration. To be classified as
―Fully Online,‖ a student must submit the Fully Online Declaration form
to the Division of Online Learning, be majoring in a program that can be
completed online or intending on completing as many core classes online
before transferring elsewhere, register for all online courses, and are not
residing in an MGC residence hall. Once a ―Fully Online‖ student takes
an on-campus class, he will lose his online rate code and campus code.
The student will have to submit a new Fully Online Declaration form to be
considered as an ―Fully Online‖ student in the future. The Division of
Online Learning will review the student’s situation and make
determination on a case by case basis.
Seminars, Short Courses, and Institutes

Applicants seeking admission to seminars, short courses, and
institutes with programs of work that carry academic credit shall be
required to meet all requirements prescribed for admission of students to
undergraduate or graduate programs of work.
Applicants who wish to enroll in noncredit seminars, short courses,
and institutes shall present convincing evidence to prove:
1. That the applicant has the educational background and the ability
to pursue successfully the program of work that he or she wishes
to take.
2. That the applicant is of good character, that he or she possesses a
sense of social responsibility, and that he or she has the capacity of
growth and development in the program to which admission is
sought.
In the case of an applicant who is seeking admission to a non-credit

seminar, short course, or institute, the institution shall have the right to
prescribe the types of evidence that an applicant must submit in order to
establish his or her qualifications for admission.
58
Auditors
The institution may prescribe such admission requirements for
auditors as the institution may think necessary or desirable. Auditors will
be expected to pay fees at the regular rates except in cases in which they
enroll as auditors under special regulations of the Board of Regents.
Students may not transfer from audit to credit status or vice versa. The
symbol ―V‖ on a transcript indicates that a student was granted
permission to audit the course.
Out-of-State Students
Out-of-state students or students who have lived in Georgia for less
than 12 months must meet all requirements and qualifications as
prescribed by the College. University System of Georgia requirements
concerning the payment of non-resident tuition are in the catalog section
―Fees and Expenses‖.
Summary of Admission Requirements

1. Application completed at www.mgc.edu/admissions.
2. Submission of the application for admission at least thirty days before
the first day of registration for the semester in which the student
intends to enroll.
3. Application fee to accompany the application.
4. Housing application fee to accompany the residence hall application.
5. If applicable, official transcript of high school credits and official
transcripts from all colleges attended, if any.
6. If applicable, SAT or ACT scores.
7. Completed immunization form for all new students.
Note: A student who does not enroll for the semester for which he or
she is accepted for admission and who plans to enroll at a later date must
complete an update application available online at
www.mgc.edu/admissions. An offer of admission is term-specific, and a
student not enrolling in the term for which application was made is not
guaranteed admission to a later term.
Readmission Requirements
Middle Georgia College is at all times open and receptive to its former
students' desire to return to college. A former Middle Georgia College
student who has not attended classes at Middle Georgia College in two or
more consecutive semesters, or who has attended another college,
university or technical school/college since their last enrollment at Middle
Georgia College, must submit a Readmission Application to the Registrar's
Office. The Readmission Application can be found online at
www.mgc.edu/registrar/.
59
The Readmission Application may be mailed, faxed, or submitted in
person to the MGC Registrar's Office. The student must immediately
contact any and all schools/colleges attended since last attending Middle
Georgia College to have their final, official academic transcripts forwarded
to the Registrar’s Office immediately. If it has been five or more years
since the student last attended Middle Georgia College, the student must
contact all schools/colleges ever attended to have their final, official
transcripts forwarded to Middle Georgia College. (Transcripts from prior
schools are not kept beyond five years.) This will prevent delays in
registration for MGC classes.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:
A. A former Middle Georgia College student who is currently
attending another school, but would like to take a class or classes
at Middle Georgia College for one semester must contact the
Registrar's Office at the school they are currently attending. That
school must give permission for the student to attend Middle
Georgia College as a transient student. The student must make
sure that an Original Transient Permission Letter from the school
they are currently attending is received in the Registrar’s Office of
Middle Georgia College. This will prevent delays in registration
for Middle Georgia College classes.
B. If the student last attended Middle Georgia College five or more
years ago, and was then enrolled in Learning Support courses,
and did not exit all areas of that series of courses, then the student
will be required to take the COMPASS Placement Exam as a part
of the readmission requirements. When the readmission
application is received, the student will be notified by mail of a
testing date.
Physical and Learning Disabilities

All applicants for admission to Middle Georgia College will be
invited, at the time of acceptance, to notify the college if any special
accommodations will be required because of physical and/or learning
disabilities. This notice should be sent to the Coordinator of Services for
Students with Disabilities of the college as soon as possible to allow ample
time for the college to determine if it will be able to meet the requirements
for accommodation.
The Coordinator will set up a conference with the student, his or her
parents or guardians, and any other appropriate persons, such as the
student’s vocational rehabilitation counselor, to determine the student’s
needs and to discuss what special accommodations the college can
provide.
The college does not ask for information about disabilities before the
student is accepted for admission. However, any prospective student may
60
volunteer such information in advance of application, and the college will
provide as much information as possible to help the student and his or her
advisors determine what accommodations are available.
The college has several services that may meet the needs of some
learning disabled students. These services include, but are not limited to,
Learning Support, the Academic Support Center, counseling, and note
taking assistance.
The University System of Georgia requires that for a student to be
classified as learning disabled, he or she must submit an evaluation no
more than three years old made by a professional clinical psychologist. In
some situations, additional information may be required. For information
about the specific diagnostic tests that will be accepted and locations of
testing centers, one should contact the Coordinator of Services for
Students with Disabilities at Middle Georgia College at 478-934-3023. This
documentation is required before the student makes requests for
substitution of courses, additional semesters in Learning Support,
modifications of testing procedures, or other special accommodations.
61
Fees and Expenses
62
Tuition and fees are established annually by the Board of Regents of
the University System of Georgia. All students enrolled at the college are
required to pay tuition. Legal residents of the State of Georgia pay instate
tuition, while students who are not legal residents of the State of Georgia
pay out-of-state tuition.
All students enrolled, regardless of residency status, are required to
pay a records fee, a technology fee, parking fee, and a campus card fee.
Students are required to pay activity and athletic fees which differ based
upon the semester credit hours in which they are enrolled. Residential
students on the Cochran campus are required to pay a health fee. A full
description of the programs and services funded by these fees is included
in the Student Handbook, which is available from the Student Development
Office. All fees must be paid in advance each semester.
Prospective and current students are encouraged to verify fee rates
with the Business Office since all fees are subject to change at the end of
any semester.
Guaranteed Tuition Plan

An entering cohort of Middle Georgia College students, who enroll as
freshmen, are "guaranteed" a fixed rate of tuition for 9 successive
semesters (15 successive semesters in the Bachelor degree program). That
means the tuition rate will not change (increase) over the period of the
guarantee. A new cohort of freshmen the following year will have a
different tuition rate, but that rate also will be guaranteed. This allows
students and parents to plan with predictability the financial needs for
college in terms of tuition. Students who enrolled at another University
System of Georgia institution since summer semester 2006 will keep their
guaranteed tuition classification when they transfer to another University
System of Georgia institution. Students who enroll from a non-University
System institution will have fixed rate for 6 successive semesters. Students
who started at any institution prior to summer 2006 will be charged the
continuing rate each year. At the end of the guaranteed rate, students will
pay the rate of the incoming freshmen class, which normally will be higher
than the rate set when those students first enrolled. The goal is to send a
"price signal" to encourage students to graduate in a timely manner to
avoid this higher tuition rate. The Guaranteed Tuition Plan will no longer
be in effect for new students beginning fall 2009. The GTP will only apply
to students who entered the College in fall, spring, and summer semesters
of 2006, 2007, and 2008. Please refer to the MGC website for a complete
update on current tuition costs.
The following fees were effective fall semester 2009.

credit hours who are under 21 years of age and whose permanent address
is beyond commuting distance to the college must live in the college
residence halls. Only the Director of Residence Life can grant permission
for these students to live off campus. All students living in the residence
halls are required to purchase a meal plan.
Other Estimated Expenses

It is estimated that the cost of books and supplies will be
approximately $400.00 to $600.00 per semester depending upon the
student’s course of study. The amount of spending money for clothing,
recreation, and transportation is dependent solely upon the judgment of
the student and his or her family.
Miscellaneous/Special Fees
Application Fee (Paper): An application fee of $30.00 must accompany the
application for admission and should be mailed to the Director of
Admissions. The fee is non-refundable.

the application for housing and should be mailed to the Office of
Residence Life. The fee in non-refundable.
Applied Music Fees: In addition to the matriculation charge, there is an
applied music fee charged for private music lessons in voice or
instrument. The fee is $225.00 per semester for a 30-minute lesson per
week or $450.00 per semester for a 60-minute lesson per week. The fee is
non-refundable.
Graduation Fee: A graduation fee of $35.00 is due prior to the start of the
semester in which the student expects to graduate. The fee covers the

Room Reservation/Damage Deposit: A $200.00 deposit must accompany
each submitted housing contract.
Special Examination Fees: Fees for special examinations will be set at the
rate prescribed for the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
Fee Payment
Payment of tuition and fees is due upon registration. Registration and
fee payment dates are published each semester. Payment of fees and other
charges may be made with cash, checks, and approved financial aid
(except Federal Work Study).
Students who register for courses and pay the appropriate fees shall
be considered enrolled and space shall be reserved in the class(es) for the
duration of the term.
All payments returned due to insufficient funds are subject to a $25
returned check fee. Middle Georgia College is an educational institution,
and therefore does not have the resources to perform extensive debt
collection activities. For this reason, past due, delinquent accounts and
returned checks will be assigned to a collection agency. A student whose
account is assigned to a collection agency will be responsible for paying
any collection fees incurred.
Housing Application and Room Deposit

An application fee of $35.00 must accompany each residence hall
application. The residence hall application and all other correspondence
concerning residence halls should be sent directly to the Office of
Residence Life. Upon receipt of a completed application, the housing
office will prepare a housing contract and mail it to the student. The
66
student must read and sign this contract, submit a $200.00
security/damage deposit, and return the signed contract along with the
$200.00 to the Office of Residence Life.
The $200.00 deposit is refundable if the Office of Residence Life
receives a written cancellation notice for the housing contract by July 1 for
fall semester and December 1 for spring semester. If the student occupies
the room which has been reserved, the $200.00 room reservation/damage
deposit will be held in escrow to be credited against any damage to the
room or other college property ascribed to the student.
Periodic residence hall inspections are conducted to assess any
damages. In cases where the party responsible for damage to the residence
hall cannot be determined, all residents of the hall may be assessed for the
damage. If at any time the damage assessment exceeds one half of the
damage deposit, the student will be billed to bring the balance back up to
$200.00. If total damages exceed the full $200.00, the student will be
notified and transcripts will be withheld until assessment is paid in full.
The deposit, less any charges, is refunded following the student’s last
semester in the residence hall provided the student follows prescribed
check out procedures.
Students are required to comply with all regulations of the section of
this catalog headed ―Student Housing.‖
Refunds for Withdrawal

Refunds of fees and charges will be made only upon official
withdrawal from all classes through the Registrar’s Office. A student who
partially withdraws (drops a class) after the official drop/add period
does not receive a refund.
The Middle Georgia College refund schedule is established by the
policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
The refund amount for students withdrawing from the institution
shall be based on a pro rata percentage determined by dividing the
number of calendar days in the semester that the student completed by the
total calendar days in the semester. The total calendar days in a semester
includes weekends, but excludes scheduled breaks of five or more days
and days that a student was on an approved leave of absence. The
unearned portion shall be refunded up to the point in time that the
amount earned equals 60%.
Students who withdraw from the institution when the calculated
percentage of completion is greater than 60% are not entitled to a refund of
any portion of institutional charges.
A refund of all tuition and other mandatory fees shall be made in the
event of death of a student at any time during the academic session.
67
Classification of Students for Tuition Purposes
United States Citizens

1. Independent Students
A. An independent student who has established and maintained a
domicile in the State of Georgia for a period of at least 12
consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes
for the term shall be classified as in-state for tuition purposes.
B. No student shall gain or acquire in-state classification while
attending any postsecondary educational institution in this state
without clear evidence of having established domicile in Georgia
for purposes other than attending a postsecondary educational
institution in this state.
C. If an independent student classified as in-state for tuition
purposes relocates out of state temporarily but returns to the State
of Georgia within 12 months of the relocation, such student shall
be entitled to retain his or her in-state tuition classification.
2. Dependent Students
A. A dependent student shall be classified as in-state for tuition
purposes if such dependent student's parent has established and
maintained domicile in the State of Georgia for at least 12
consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes
for the term and (a) the student has graduated from a Georgia
high school; or (b) the parent claimed the student as a dependent
on the parent's most recent federal or state income tax return.
B. A dependent student shall be classified as in-state for tuition
purposes if such student's United States court appointed legal
guardian has established and maintained domicile in the State of
Georgia for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding
the first day of classes for the term, provided that such
appointment was not made to avoid payment of out-of-state
tuition and the U.S. court appointed legal guardian can provide
clear evidence of having established and maintained domicile in
the State of Georgia for a period of at least 12 consecutive months
immediately preceding the first day of classes for the term.
C. If the parent or United States court appointed legal guardian of a
dependent student currently classified as in-state for tuition
purposes establishes domicile outside of the State of Georgia after
having established and maintained domicile in the State of
Georgia, such student may retain his or her in-state tuition
classification so long as such student remains continuously
enrolled in a public postsecondary educational institution in this
state, regardless of the domicile of such student's parent or United
States court appointed legal guardian
68
3. Noncitizen Students
A. A noncitizen student shall not be classified as in-state for tuition
purposes unless the student is legally in this state and there is
evidence to warrant consideration of in-state classification as
determined by the Board of Regents. Lawful permanent residents,
refugees, asylees, or other eligible noncitizens as defined by
federal Title IV regulations may be extended the same
consideration as citizens of the United States in determining
whether they qualify for in-state classification.
B. International students who reside in the United States under
nonimmigrant status conditioned at least in part upon intent not
to abandon a foreign domicile shall not be eligible for in-state
classification.

Student
Financial Aid
70
The primary purpose of the financial aid programs at Middle Georgia
College is to provide financial assistance to students who, without such
aid, would be unable to attend college. Financial aid includes grants,
loans, part-time work, and scholarships. The established need of a student
may be met through one or a combination of two or more of these sources.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with
the student and the student’s family. The family is expected to contribute a
fair share of its resources for this purpose, and the student is also expected
to contribute a share. Eligibility does not carry over from one year to the
next, and new applications must be filed every year. Up-to-date
information and accuracy are essential to the process.
Financial Aid Basic Eligibility To be eligible to receive financial aid, a

student must meet the following requirements:
Be a United States citizen or permanent resident of the United
States;
Be accepted for admission to an approved degree-seeking
program or one of several certificate programs;
Be making progress toward the completion of a chosen course of
study according to the ―Middle Georgia College Satisfactory
Academic Progress Policy‖;
Not be in default on any loan and not have borrowed in excess of
loan limits under the Title IV programs at any institution;
Not owe a refund on any grant received under the Title IV
programs at any institution; and
Certify that he/she is registered with Selective Service or is not
required to register.

Descriptions of Programs
Information on the following programs was prepared with current
policies, rules, and regulations applicable at the time of print. Information
is subject to change.
Pell Grant
This program is the foundation of all financial aid programs. It is
designed to assist undergraduate students (those who have not earned a
bachelor’s or first professional degree) to pay some of the expenses for
their education after high school. Aid from other sources may be added.
Federal grants do not have to be repaid.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

This grant is for students with exceptional financial need. No
repayment is required. Funds are limited, and there is no guarantee that
every eligible student will be able to receive the SEOG.
College Work-Study Program (CWSP)

The Work-Study program provides part-time jobs for students who
establish need for financial aid. The program is used, along with other
programs, to help meet that need. Work must be performed before the
benefits are paid and the award cannot be applied to expenses at the
beginning of a semester. A student must maintain satisfactory academic
progress and be enrolled at least half-time to remain eligible.
72
Federal Stafford Loans
A Federal Stafford Loan is a low-interest, educational loan authorized
by the Federal government to help students meet the costs of higher
education.
A subsidized Federal Stafford Loan is a need-based loan. The amount
a student is eligible to receive is based on financial need. The federal
government pays the interest that accrues on a subsidized Federal Stafford
Loan while the student is attending school at least half-time, during the six
month grace period, and during some deferment periods.
An unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan is a non-need based loan. The
amount a student is eligible to receive is not based on financial need. If a
student receives an unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, he/she will be
responsible for all accrued interest from the date of disbursement forward.
Separate loan applications must be certified by the Office of Financial
Aid. Interest rates and regulations are subject to federal Congressional
action and are subject to change.
First-time borrowers must wait thirty days after classes begin before
the initial disbursement is made. During this period, the student must
attend classes regularly and must be making satisfactory progress in class
work. A first-time borrower must complete loan counseling prior to the
first disbursement, and all borrowers are required to complete an exit
interview upon graduation, withdrawal, or dropping below a half-time
level of enrollment. All counseling sessions may be completed online at
the MGC website.
Federal Plus Loans (For Parents)

This program provides loans to parents on behalf of their dependent
student. Repayment begins sixty days after the final disbursement of
funds. Interest rates are determined by federal regulations. Applications
must be certified by the Office of Financial Aid. Interest rates and
regulations are subject to federal Congressional action and are subject to
change.
Service Cancelable Loans

Each year the Georgia Student Finance Authority authorizes a limited
number of Federal Stafford Loans with cancellation benefits. These loans
are for students who are enrolled in the Associate of Science in Nursing
degree programs at Middle Georgia College. The student must be a
resident of Georgia and be accepted into the Nursing Program. Interested
students should contact the Office of Financial Aid and/or the Nursing
Department to apply for these funds.

their federal income tax liability. For a taxpayer to be eligible for the Hope
Scholarship Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit, qualified tuition and
related expenses must be paid by the taxpayer to an eligible educational
institution for the taxpayer, the taxpayer’s spouse, or any dependents. The
Hope Scholarship Credit is available for certain taxpayers who pay
qualified tuition and related expenses of students enrolled at least half-
time in the first two years of postsecondary education. These credits can
only be claimed for two years for each student. The student should
consult with their tax advisor to determine the applicability of these
credits to their individual situation.

78
I. Operating Policies
The following operating policies are designed to ensure that the Office
of Student Financial Aid is effective in carrying out its responsibilities:
A. All funds available to the College for assistance to students shall
be administered through the Office of Financial Aid. Nominations
of individuals to receive certain designated scholarships and
athletic awards shall be submitted by the responsible department
or agency to the Office of Financial Aid for processing.
B. All federal work-study student employment shall be administered
through the Office of Financial Aid. It shall be the responsibility of
the Office of Financial Aid to cooperate with the employing office
in matching the capabilities of the individual student to the
requirements of the job. Wage schedules are set by the Financial
Aid Committee.
C. Students applying for financial assistance are to be given
consideration for all of the programs administered by the college.
The student’s aid package will consist of any combination that
best meets the student’s financial needs.
D. The Office of Financial Aid shall maintain records to ensure that a
student’s financial aid package does not exceed his/her cost of
attendance and that total program expenditures do not exceed
allocation levels. Additionally, the Office of Financial Aid will
monitor payroll records to ensure that work study students do not
earn more than his/her allotted award.
II. Awards of Financial Aid

Financial aid eligibility is established through the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information on this application is used
in a formula, established by the U.S. Congress, to calculate an Expected
Family Contribution (EFC). An EFC is the amount a student and/or the
student’s family are expected to contribute toward the student’s
education. Financial need is the difference between the cost of attendance
(tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses)
and the student’s EFC.
The estimated cost of education for a Georgia resident is $11,768 per
academic year (2009-2010). This estimate includes two semesters of tuition
and fees, books, supplies, room and board, and personal expenses. An
additional out-of-state fee assessed on all non-Georgia residents increases
this estimate to $19,250 (2009-2010).
Students who entered the University System of Georgia between fall
2006 and summer 2009 are included in the Guaranteed Tuition Plan. More
detailed information regarding the Guaranteed Tuition Plan is available at
www.usg.edu.
79
Awards are based on information provided by the student on the
FAFSA application. Any changes to this basic information (marital status,
number of dependents, place of residence, withdrawal, reduction in the
number of hours carried, private scholarship awards, receipt of VA
benefits) should be reported to the Office of Financial Aid immediately. To
prevent over-awards, the Office of Financial Aid reserves the right to
review and/or modify a student’s award at anytime.
Financial aid awards are subject to the availability of funds and
regulations which govern each program. A student must be eligible to
receive aid at the time of disbursement as governed by these regulations.
Aid awarded is based on a full-time enrollment status. Awards will be
adjusted according to actual number of hours of enrollment. Full-time
enrollment is 12 credit hours per semester; half-time is 6 credit hours per
semester. If a student changes enrollment status during Drop/Add and
such change causes an overpayment, a student must repay the
overpayment. Students should keep the Office of Financial Aid informed
when enrollment status changes.
Financial aid is awarded by the Office of Financial Aid and disbursed
by the Business Office.
Financial Aid Return of Title IV Funds: Effective Fall Semester 2000,

federal law specifies how an institution must determine the amount of
Federal Student Aid assistance that a student earns if they withdraw from
school. A specific formula was developed to calculate the percentage of
earned aid. If the student was disbursed less assistance than they had
earned, they will be able to receive those additional funds. If the student
was disbursed more federal aid than they earned, the student and the
institution will share in the returning of excess funds to the appropriate
state, federal or private entity. If the student received excess funds based
on this calculation, the school must return a portion of the excess equal to
the lesser of:
The student’s institutional charges multiplied by the unearned
percentage of funds earned, or
The entire amount of the excess funds.
If the school is not required to return all of the excess funds, the
student must return the remaining amount. The order of funds that the
institution must return is as follows:
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
Federal Plus Loan
Federal Pell Grant
Federal SEOG Grant
Other Title IV programs
80
The student will repay the loan funds in accordance with terms of the
promissory note. If the student is responsible for returning grant funds,
they do not return the full amount. The law stipulates that the student is
not required to return more than 50 percent of the grant assistance that
they were calculated to return. Any grant amount that a student must
return is considered a grant overpayment. They must arrange with the
school to repay these funds within 45 days. If payment is not made within
45 days, the Office of Financial Aid office will turn the debt over to the
Department of Education’s Debt Collection Service Department.
Financial Aid for Transient Students:

Financial Aid is available to qualified applicants to attend another
institution as a transient student. Awards will be offered based upon
individual eligibility and availability of funds. Applicants seeking aid to
attend another institution as a transient student must submit the following
before ANY funds can be disbursed:
A. Applicant must complete a FAFSA for the appropriate academic
year (for example, fall 2009 through summer 2010 is considered to
be the 2009-2010 academic year).
B. A copy of the Transient Permission Letter from Middle Georgia
College’s Registrar’s Office stating the class(es) the applicant is
registering for is applicable to student’s degree.
C. A completed Consortium Agreement completed by the other
institution’s Office of Financial Aid. Note: All institutions do not
participate in consortium agreements. The student should contact
the financial aid office at the host institution prior to enrollment.
If the student is a HOPE Scholarship recipient, in addition to

completing Step A and Step B from above, they must contact Middle
Georgia College’s Office of Financial Aid to complete the Transient HOPE
Scholarship Agreement form before the HOPE Eligibility Certificate for
Transient Study will be sent to the other institution. For more information
contact the Office of Financial Aid.
Students should be prepared to pay their balance at the host
institution by the published deadline. Financial Aid for transient students
is typically delivered after the host school’s fee payment deadline.
III. Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Student recipients of financial aid are required to maintain satisfactory
academic progress in order to maintain eligibility for the various state and
federal student aid programs.
Satisfactory academic progress is defined as the advancement of a
student toward his/her degree objective in a manner consistent with
institutional policy. This policy states that a student must simultaneously
81
maintain a minimum grade point average and percentage of completion
for the total number of credit hours attempted. Additionally, students
may not exceed 150% of the number of hours required for a particular
course of study (150% rule). As an example, assume that a course of study
requires 67 hours for completion. A student who is pursuing this course
of study will lose financial aid eligibility after he/she attempts 101 or more
hours (150%). Non-credit learning support courses are not included in the
calculation of the 150% rule.
To ensure that student’s are making satisfactory academic progress
toward his/her degree, the Office of Financial Aid will monitor progress
at the conclusion of each semester. The following charts depict the grade
point average (qualitative) and percentage completion (quantitative)
standards:
Semester Hours The student must have successfully

58 and over 1.7
V. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal Procedures

A student who wishes to appeal the decision of a suspension from
Financial Aid eligibility must complete a SAP appeal form and submit it to
the Office of Financial Aid for review by the Director of Financial Aid. The
student will be informed of the decision in writing. Students whose
appeals are approved will continue to have their records reviewed at the
end of each semester. Students whose appeals are denied may appeal in
writing to the Vice President for Student and Enrollment Services. The
student will be informed of the decision of the Vice President in writing.
82
VI. Learning Support Courses (LS) and College Preparatory Curriculum
(CPC)
Students who are required to enroll in either of the above programs
will have those hours counted toward fulfilling the requirements of the
Satisfactory Progress Policy, even though no credit hours are awarded.
The maximum number of hours of learning support and college
preparatory curriculum courses combined that may be counted toward
receiving financial aid is thirty (30). After this maximum is reached, no
learning support or college preparatory curriculum courses may be used
to determine the enrollment status of a student for financial aid purposes.
VII. Repeated Courses

It is permissible to repeat a course in which a D or lower grade was
received or from which the student withdrew. The original courses have
been counted and have an effect on cumulative totals for SAP.
VIII. Audited Courses

Financial aid cannot be used to pay for audited courses, nor can
audited courses be counted toward establishing enrollment status for the
student. Aid will be determined according to the number of hours
enrolled excluding audited courses.
83
84
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Student Mailboxes & E-mail Accounts
Every dorm resident student is assigned a

student mailbox at the campus post office in
Georgia Hall. All students are assigned student e-
mail accounts. These mailboxes and e-mail accounts
should be checked frequently for important
announcements. Important official mail is placed in
campus post office boxes and is posted to student e-
mail accounts, including (but not limited to)
information about academic standing, graduation,
etc. Students should check their campus post office
box and their student e-mail account AT LEAST
WEEKLY to avoid potential serious consequences
resulting from missed official mail and notices.
85
Academic
Information
86
Academic Advising
Middle Georgia College recognizes the importance of a thorough
program of academic advising. While it is ultimately the responsibility of
students to select and follow a program of study which will lead to their
academic objective, the College provides academic advising to assist
students.
Each student is assigned to a division for advising according to the
stated program of study. Students are then reassigned to the most
appropriate faculty member within that division, who will assist them in
planning the program of study each semester.
Academic advisors are available to help students with their academic
planning throughout their programs at Middle Georgia College.
Advisors aid the students in selecting academic subjects, in
interpreting college requirements, and in meeting these requirements in
correct sequence. Students are encouraged to confer with advisors
frequently and to discuss with advisors any academic problems which
they encounter.
Credits
Credits are interpreted in terms of semester hours. A semester-hour of
credit is given for one clock hour of class per week for a semester. A
subject or course that meets three hours per week for a semester is equal to
three semester hours. In general, a laboratory carries one semester hour of
credit for two or three clock hours per week.
Course and Study Load

A schedule of 12 or more semester hours is classified as a full-time
load. The normal course load for a full-time student is 12 to 18 semester
hours. A student who wishes to graduate in two years must earn
approximately 17 credit hours each semester. It will require three years to
graduate if a student takes the minimum number of hours (12) to be
classified as a full-time student. A load of fewer than 12 semester hours is
classified as a part-time load.
In general, an average student will need to spend about 30 hours each
week in preparation for a full academic course load. For this reason, a
student is urged to plan adequate time for course preparation, especially if
the student works full or part time.
Permission for Overload

Enrollment for more than 18 academic semester hours must be
approved by one’s advisor and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
87
Attendance Policy
The classroom experience is a vital part of college education.
Interaction with instructors and other students is an important element of
the learning process. Regular and punctual attendance in all classes is the
student’s responsibility. A high correlation exists between class attendance
and course grades, and a student must understand the importance of
regular participation in classroom and laboratory activities. The absence of
any student affects the performance of the class as a whole. Absence from
class for whatever reason does not excuse a student from full
responsibility for class work or assignments missed.
The college believes that all class meetings are important and requires
that a student abide by the attendance policies adopted for individual
classes by instructors. Precise course attendance policies and penalties
imposed for excessive absences are left to the discretion of individual
instructors. The attendance policy will be presented in writing in the
syllabus for both on-campus and online courses at the beginning of the
semester. The instructor has the option of withdrawing students from the
course who exceed the maximum number of permitted absences (as
defined in the syllabus). If the withdrawal occurs before the midterm date,
the student will receive a ―W‖. If the withdrawal occurs after the midterm
date, the student will receive a ―WF‖. Withdrawal notices will be sent to
students; however, failure to receive a notice does not constitute grounds
for an administrative review of ―W‖ or ―WF‖. A student may request an
administrative review of a ―W‖ or ―WF‖ by following these procedures:
Step One: Consult with the instructor within two working days (or
prior to the next class meeting) after receiving the
withdrawal notice. If not resolved, proceed to Step Two.
Step Two: Within two working days, the student should submit a
written request for a meeting with the Division Chair and
instructor (or instructor may elect to submit relevant
documentation instead). If not resolved, proceed to Step
Three.
Step Three: Within two working days, the student should submit a
written request for a meeting with the Vice President for
Academic Affairs, the Chair, and the instructor (or Chair
and instructor may elect to submit relevant
documentation instead).
The Vice President’s decision is final and binding on all parties.
Students will be allowed to continue in the course until the review process
has been completed. However, further restrictions may apply as stipulated
in the syllabus. Failure to follow the above procedures will terminate the
review process and the student’s enrollment in the course.
Although absences for authorized college activities will not be counted
toward the limits stated in any syllabus’ policy, the student’s individual
88
instructor(s) must be informed well in advance, and student and sponsor
must follow these procedures:
Step One: At least one week in advance of the absence, the
sponsoring college employee must submit a completed
―Official Class Absence Statement‖ form to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs (VPAA).
Step Two: The form must be approved by the VPAA.
Step Three: The VPAA will return the signed form to the sponsor.
Step Four: The sponsor will provide a copy of the signed form to
each listed student.
Step Five: Each student is responsible for presenting the form to the
instructor(s) no later than two days prior to the absence.
Step Six: The student’s instructor(s) should initial the form
acknowledging receipt of official notification.
Failure to follow any of these procedures by either student or sponsor
may result in the student being counted absent.
Cancellation of Registration
Students who wish to cancel their registration for all courses for a
given term must contact the Registrar's Office prior to or on the first day of
class to be eligible for a complete refund from the Business Office.
Dropping and Adding Courses Without Penalty

Prior to the end of the Drop/Add period (as designated in the
Academic Calendar) a student may change their semester schedule of
classes without penalty (without receiving a grade of ―W‖ or ―WF‖ in the
course). Students should initiate all schedule changes by seeing their
academic advisor, requesting the completion of a Drop-Add Form,
obtaining the required signatures, and submitting it to the Registrar’s
Office. Students may not change their semester schedule without
presenting to the Registrar’s Office a Drop-Add Notice signed by the
faculty advisor.
Dropping and Adding Courses After the Drop/Add Period

After the Drop/Add period and up to and including the mid-term
date (as designated in the Academic Calendar) a student may drop a
course with the grade of ―W‖ providing the student correctly follows the
drop procedure. Students should initiate all drops by seeing their
instructor, requesting the completion of a Drop-Add Form, obtaining the
required signatures from the faculty advisor, the college’s academic
advisor, and submitting it to the Registrar’s Office. Students may not drop
a course after the drop/add period without presenting to the Registrar’s
Office a Drop-Add Notice with the required signatures.
89
After the mid-term date (as designated in the Academic Calendar) a
student who drops a course, or who is administratively dropped from a
course, will receive the grade of ―WF‖. NOTE: The only exception to this
policy is in cases of hardship. A faculty member may recommend the
grade of ―W‖ after the mid-term date if: (1) the student is passing at the
time of dropping the course, and (2) the hardship is of a non-academic
nature. The recommendation should be submitted by the faculty member,
in writing with justification, to the Division Chair, who will forward it
with his or her recommendation to the Vice President for Academic
Affairs for final action.
Complete Withdrawal From All Courses

Students who wish to withdraw from all courses for which they are
registered for a given term must contact the Registrar's Office. If the
student withdraws from all courses prior to the midterm date, (as
designated in the Academic Calendar) a "W" will be assigned in all courses
for that term. A request for refund will be sent to the Business Office with
a copy of the withdrawal form in order for any refund to be processed. If a
student withdraws after the mid term date, a "WF" will be assigned in all
courses. This information will be forwarded to the Business Office. No
refund will be granted after mid term.
Student Medical Withdrawals

A student may be administratively withdrawn from the college when
in the judgment of the Vice President for Student and Enrollment Services
(VPSES) it is determined that the student suffers from a physical, mental,
emotional, or psychological health condition which: (a) poses a significant
danger or threat of physical harm to the student or to the person or
property of others; (b) causes the student to interfere with the rights of
other members of the college community or with the exercise of any
proper activities or functions of the college or its personnel; or (c) causes
the student to be unable to meet institutional requirements for admission
and continued enrollment, as defined in the Student Conduct Code and
other publications of the College. The VPSES may consult with the college
physician and/or the student’s personal physician, if any.
Except in emergency situations, a student shall, upon request, be
accorded an appropriate hearing prior to the final decision concerning his
or her continued enrollment at the college.
After the mid-term date of the semester a student may request a
voluntary medical withdrawal when the student has a physical, mental,
emotional, or psychological health condition that prevents him/her from
completing the semester. Requests for voluntary medical withdrawal
should be submitted to the Office of Student and Enrollment Services.
90
Documentation substantiating the request must be received in the Office
of Student and Enrollment Services directly from the attending physician.
Classification
Students are classified according to the number of semester hours of
credit earned (exclusive of institutional credit):
1. A freshman is any student who has fewer than 30 semester hours
of earned credit.
2. A sophomore is any student who has 30 to 59 semester hours of
earned credit.
3. A junior is any student who has earned 60 to 89 semester hours of
earned credit.
4. A senior is any student who has earned 90 semester hours or more
of earned credit.
Grading System
All institutions in the University System of Georgia use a 4.0 grade-
point average system. The following grades have been approved for use
by Middle Georgia College and are included in the determination of the
grade-point average. Note: exceptions are listed elsewhere in this catalog.
Letter Grade
Grade Points
A Excellent 90-100 4.0
B Good 80-89 3.0
C Satisfactory 70-79 2.0
D Passing 60-69 1.0
F Failure Below 60 0
WF Withdrew failing 0
The following symbols are approved for use in the cases indicated, but
will not be included in the determination of the grade-point average:
―I‖ This symbol indicates that a student was performing

satisfactory work, but for non-academic reasons beyond the
student’s control, was unable to meet the full requirements for
completion of the course. An ―I‖ not removed the succeeding
semester automatically becomes an ―F‖ (summer semester is
not counted as a succeeding semester).
―W‖ This symbol indicates that a student was permitted to
withdraw without penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will
not be permitted after the mid-point of the total grading period
(including final examinations) except in cases of hardship as
determined by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
91
―IP‖ This symbol indicates that a student’s work is in progress. It is
assigned when a student enrolled in a learning support course
makes progress during the semester but fails to reach the
competency required to complete the course. The student is to
enroll in the course again the next semester.
―S‖ This symbol indicates that the student successfully completed a
course. This grade is given for courses which award institution
credit only.
―U‖ This symbol indicates that the student was unsuccessful in
completing a course. This grade is given for courses with
award institution credit only.
―V‖ This symbol indicates that a student was given permission to
audit the course. Students may not transfer from audit to credit
status or vice versa.
―K‖ This symbol indicates that a student was given credit for the
course via an approved credit by examination program (CLEP,
AP, Proficiency, etc.).
Grade-Point Average (GPA) Computation

The formula for computing a student’s GPA is as follows: Total
Quality Points Earned ÷ Total Semester Hours Attempted = GPA. Quality
points are calculated on college degree credit courses, not institutional
credit courses. A semester GPA is computed for each semester’s courses,
and a cumulative GPA is computed, using the same formula, for all
courses ever taken at Middle Georgia College.
To arrive at quality points, one should multiply the semester-hour
value of college-level courses (all courses numbered 1000 or higher) by the
point value of the grade earned. A sample computation of a student’s one
semester’s academic record is shown below:
Semester Grade Grade Quality

Course Hours Earned Points Points
ENGL 1101 3 B 3 9
MATH 1111 3 C 2 6
SCIN 1105 4 C 2 8
POLS 1101 3 B 3 9
MGCS 1101 2 B 3 6
AERO 1101 1 A 4 4
16 42
42 ÷ 16 = 2.625 Grade Point Average
Repeated Courses
In order to improve academic background, a student may repeat
courses in which the student has previously been enrolled. Both the
92
original course grade and the repeated course grade will be recorded on
the student’s official transcript. However, the last recorded grade for the
course will be used to determine the Middle Georgia College (MGC)
cumulative grade-point average (GPA).
If a student repeats a course at MGC and makes a lower grade, the
higher grade can be used for graduation purposes as long as the higher
grade meets requirements for the student’s degree program. However, the
lower grade will be included in the student’s cumulative GPA.
If a student takes a course at another institution and transfers it to
MGC, then repeats the course at MGC and makes a lower grade, the
higher grade from the transfer institution can be used for graduation
purposes as long as the higher grade meets requirements for the student’s
degree program. However, the lower grade will be included in the
student’s cumulative GPA.
NOTE: The above policies related to repeated courses are specific to
Middle Georgia College. Other institutions may carry different policies.
Students should check the college catalog from institutions to which they
wish to transfer to determine policies related to repeated courses that are
specific to those schools. While the above policy may adjust a student’s
Middle Georgia College cumulative grade point average, it does NOT
adjust the grade point average used for financial aid eligibility
determinations. These policies may not affect the grade point average an
accepting institution uses to determine admission acceptance of students
transferring from Middle Georgia College. The above policies do not
supersede policies related to U.S. Constitution and Georgia Legislative
requirements and policies related to American Government and U.S.
History courses taken out of state. See page 97 for policies related to those
requirements.
Grade Reports
Final Grade Reports may be viewed by students via BannerWeb.
Instructions for accessing Final Grade Reports can be found at the MGC
website on the Registrar’s webpage under ―Grades‖
(www.mgc.edu/registrar/).
Transcript of Record
Any person who has attended Middle Georgia College is entitled to a
transcript of their academic credits. However, no transcript may be
released if the student owes the college money or if there is a hold on the
student's record (i.e. parking tickets, returned checks, financial aid
problems). Complete the Transcript Request form located at
www.mgc.edu/forms on the Registrar’s webpage for obtaining
transcripts.

Grade Appeal Policy and Procedure

Instructors are responsible for informing students of the basis on
which grades in each class will be assigned. Assignment of grades is the
responsibility of the instructor and presumes fairness and best
professional judgment. It should be understood that the student who
chooses to appeal a grade must assume the burden of proof concerning
any believed error in the grade assigned.
1. The student must appeal directly to the instructor within 20 school
days after the beginning of classes in the term following the one in
which the grade was reported. Every reasonable effort should be
made by both parties to resolve the matter as expeditiously as
time and circumstances permit.
2. If the question is not resolved by step ―1,‖ the student may file a
written appeal to the Division Chair within five school days after
an attempt to resolve the matter with the instructor. Within ten
school days of receipt of the written appeal, the Division Chair
will schedule a conference with the student and the faculty
member in an effort to resolve the grievance. The student and the
faculty member will be notified in writing of the date, time, and
97
place of the conference. Within five school days of the conference,
the Division Chair will prepare a report of the disposition of the
matter with copies to the student, the faculty, and the Divisional
record.
3. If either the student or the instructor wishes to appeal the
disposition of the matter in step ―2‖, he or she may do so in
writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs within five
school days of the receipt of the Division Chair’s report. If, in the
Vice President’s discretion, the appeal and record of previous
actions indicate further consideration of the matter is not
warranted, the Vice President for Academic Affairs will so notify
the student, faculty member, and the Division Chair within five
school days of receipt of the appeal. In this case, the Division
Chair’s decision shall be upheld. If the Vice President decides to
hear the appeal, the Vice President will schedule a conference with
the Division Chair, instructor, and student within ten school days
of the receipt of the written appeal and notify the student, faculty
member, and Division Chair in writing of the date, time, and
place. Within five school days of the conference, the Vice
President will prepare a written decision with copies to the
student, faculty member, and Division Chair.
4. Either the student or the faculty member may appeal the Vice
President’s decision to the President. This must be done in writing
within five school days of receipt of the Vice President’s decision.
If, in the President’s discretion, the appeal and record of previous
actions indicate further consideration of the matter is not
warranted, the President will so notify the student, faculty
member, Division Chair, and Vice President within five school
days of receipt of the appeal. In this case, the Vice President’s
decision shall be upheld. If the President decides to hear the
appeal, he or she will conduct a hearing with all involved parties
within ten days of the appeal. Notification of date, time, and place
shall be made in writing. Within five school days of the hearing,
the President shall issue a written decision with copies to all
involved parties. The President’s decision is final and binding.
Time Limitations for Grade Appeal

Extension of Time. It is important to good relationships that grievances
be initiated and processed as rapidly as possible. Every effort shall be
made by all parties to expedite the process. The time limitations specified
herein may be extended only by written mutual agreement by both
parties. The appeal process may be condensed and steps omitted by
written mutual agreement by both parties. This may be especially
important when a decision is necessary prior to the next semester’s
98
registration. When an appeal is in process, the student may continue to
attend classes as if the appeal had been decided in the student’s favor. If
the final outcome of the appeal is not in the student’s favor, the student is
to be administratively withdrawn from any class(es) for which the student
is not eligible to enroll.
Effect of Failure to Appeal Within Time Limit. If there is no written

mutual agreement to extend the time limit set herein, and if the decision is
not appealed to the next step of the procedure within the specified time
limit, the grievance shall be deemed settled on the basis of the last decision
rendered.
General Provisions for Grade Appeals

Identification. All written appeals shall include the name and position
of the aggrieved party and a brief statement of the nature of the grievance
and the redress sought by the aggrieved party.
Advisor/Attorney. If a student so desires, he or she may engage an
advisor or employ an attorney at his or her own expense to provide
council at any level of the appeal procedure. However, the advisor or
attorney may not participate directly in answering or asking questions
during the hearing process. If either the student or the faculty member is
to be accompanied by an advisor or an attorney to the hearing, each must
notify the other at least 24 hours prior to the hearing. The notification shall
include the name, occupation, and relationship of the advisor or attorney
to the party.

The Georgia Academy of Aviation,
Mathematics, Engineering, and Science
100
Introduction
The Georgia Academy of Aviation, Mathematics, Engineering, and
Science (GAMES) is a residential, joint-enrollment program for top-
performing high school juniors and seniors. Originated fall quarter, 1997,
GAMES allows students who meet the strenuous admission requirements
to obtain high school and college credit simultaneously while enrolled
full-time in college courses.
Enrollment
In most cases, students will enter the GAMES program at the
beginning of their junior or senior year of high school. In rare cases, a
younger student exhibiting remarkable abilities may be considered for
admission (see requirements below). While some GAMES students will
remain at MGC to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation Management, most
will obtain an associate degree with approximately two successful years of
study. Therefore, through the awarding of joint-enrollment credit, it is
possible for students enrolling at the beginning of their junior year to
receive an associate degree from Middle Georgia College and a high
school diploma (awarded by the student’s high school) simultaneously.
Some majors such as engineering may take longer to obtain the associate
degree due to the number of credits required and depending on the initial
placement of the student in the required math sequence. Due to this, many
students pursuing a career in engineering will elect to major in physics
while enrolled at MGC. This enables the student to earn an associate
degree and then begin the engineering sequence at the transfer institution.
Admissions Requirements
Students wishing to apply for admission to the GAMES program must
complete the GAMES application form. Application forms for the regular
Middle Georgia College programs will not be accepted. The application
form for GAMES may be obtained by contacting GAMES at 478-934-3471;
printing an application off the web at www.mgc.edu (click on GAMES);
via e-mail at games@mgc.edu; or by mailing a request to GAMES, 1100
Second Street, SE, Cochran, Georgia 31014. Admission is competitive, so
early application is recommended.
Minimum requirements for admission to the GAMES program are as
follows:
1. A cumulative 3.5 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale in academic
core classes taken in high school;
2. A composite critical reading and math score of 1100 on the SAT
examination (ACT composite score of 24) with minimum
subscores of 560 on the math section (ACT math score of 24) and
530 on the critical reading section (ACT English score of 23) – the
essay section of the SAT is not included at this time;
101
3. Enrollment in an accelerated college prep curriculum;
4. Submission of three recommendation forms provided by GAMES
(one must be completed by the student’s math instructor, one by a
science instructor, and the third by the student’s high school
counselor), an essay, and high school disciplinary record;
5. Completion of on-campus interviews of the student and at least
one parent or guardian is required.
In rare cases, students may be considered for admission without

meeting the college preparatory course requirements if they have obtained
an SAT score which places them in the top 5% nationally. Each year the
University System of Georgia will set the requisite score to qualify for such
consideration; the average score is 1370 but varies each year. Many other
factors will be carefully considered in determining the suitability of such a
student for admission to the GAMES program.
Majors and Degree Programs

While most GAMES students choose majors in mathematics, science,
or engineering, GAMES students may major in any degree program
offered at MGC.
Residential Life and Regulations

GAMES students are required to live on campus and are housed in
Anderson Hall. College officials provide supervision for the GAMES
students. A full-time residence director and assistant residence director
live in the residence hall. Anderson Hall is one of the most technologically
advanced residence halls on campus with direct Internet connections in all
rooms and a separate Academic Center housing space for both academic
and social interaction. Rooms are double occupancy with four students
sharing a suite with bath. Inter-visitation between genders is not allowed.
Housing applications are supplied in the student’s acceptance package.
As is appropriate for the age of the GAMES students, residential life
rules and regulations are more stringent than those applied to other
Middle Georgia College students. Potential GAMES students should read
the GAMES student handbook and the Middle Georgia College student
handbook and carefully review all requirements, regulations, and
disciplinary procedures. GAMES student handbook regulations take
precedence over similar general student handbook regulations. Both the
GAMES and MGC Student Handbooks are available at the MGC website
at www.mgc.edu.
Academic Policies
GAMES students overall are subject to the academic policies which
apply to all Middle Georgia College students. Therefore, students should
102
carefully review such policies. Many of these policies are listed in another
section of this catalog and elsewhere. Policies particular to GAMES
students are listed below.
A GAMES student will be placed on academic probation if the
student’s semester GPA falls below a 2.75 on a 4.0 scale. The student shall
have one semester to improve the cumulative GPA to 2.75 or higher. If the
student fails to do so, the student is subject to dismissal from the program
and the college. A student will be immediately dismissed if his semester
GPA is 2.5 or below.
A GAMES student, in most cases, will simultaneously work toward a
high school diploma and an associate degree. Students have the primary
responsibility for ensuring that appropriate progress is being made
toward the high school diploma by communicating and coordinating
efforts with their high school counselor. The Director of GAMES and the
GAMES Academic Advisor will assist the student and counselor.
Advisement forms, completed with the assistance of the high school
counselor, will be placed in each student’s advising file, which lists the
courses required for high school graduation and their college course
equivalents. A list of suggested high school-Middle Georgia College
course equivalencies will be provided to students and high school
counselors and is also on file with the State Board of Education.
The Georgia State Board of Education and the University System of
Georgia permit GAMES students to take more college-level courses than a
typical joint-enrollment student in which would normally be their junior
year of high school.
GAMES students will be required to complete all sections of the
Georgia High School Graduation and/or End of Course test. The test
sections will be administered on the Middle Georgia College campus by a
testing specialist from the local school system, and results will be
forwarded to the student’s high school. Juniors are encouraged to take the
PSAT examination in October of their first semester at MGC. GAMES
students should take the SAT no later than fall semester of their last year
to meet application deadlines for their transfer institution.
Fees and Financial Assistance

GAMES students, in spite of the enhanced level of opportunities and
services provided, are subject only to the fees required of all Middle
Georgia College students. These fees are listed in another section of this
catalog and are subject to annual changes.
Given the exceptional quality of educational opportunities provided,
Middle Georgia College fees are quite reasonable. State assistance is
available to GAMES students jointly-enrolled with high schools in Georgia
in the form of Accel/HOPE. This program pays tuition, mandatory fees,
and provides a book allowance. College credit hours taken under the
103
Accel program will count towards a student’s maximum allowable hours
paid for by the HOPE Scholarship.
Scholarships are available on a limited basis and can be printed from
the MGC website or requested by called the GAMES office at (478) 934-
3471.

Programs of Study
105
Middle Georgia College offers the following types of instructional
programs in keeping with its mission and goals. Classes and degrees are
offered on the weekends as well as weekdays and evenings.
Baccalaureate Programs: The College offers the Bachelor of Science in

Aviation Management with options in Flight, Air Traffic Control,
Airport Management, and Logistics. The College also offers the
Bachelor of Science in Education (Early Childhood Special Education
General Curriculum) as well as the Bachelor of Science in Criminal
Justice beginning fall semester 2011.
College Transfer Programs: As the names suggests, the college

transfer programs consist of the first two years of four-year college
degrees (baccalaureate degrees). A student who intends to earn a
baccalaureate degree will take the freshman and sophomore courses at
Middle Georgia College and then transfer to a four-year college or
university to complete the degree. Middle Georgia College awards the
Associate of Arts (AA) or the Associate of Science (AS) degree for
completion of these programs.
Career Programs: The second major type of programs offered at

Middle Georgia College is the career program. These one- or two-year
programs are designed for students who wish to graduate and
immediately seek employment. Career programs concentrate on
specialized training to prepare the student for employment. A number
of general education courses (English, math, science, social science) are
also required to ensure that the student develops strong basic skills,
communication skills, and a well-rounded education. Although career
programs are not designed for transfer to baccalaureate degrees, many
of the courses taken, and in some cases the entire programs, will
transfer. Students should consult with their advisors if interested in
transfer. Middle Georgia College awards the Associate of Science in
Nursing and Occupational Therapy Assistant; the Associate of
Applied Science (AAS); or a Certificate for completion of career
programs.
Distance Learning: Middle Georgia College offers a number of its core

curriculum courses online. The college also offers online associate
degree programs of study in Business Administration, Criminal
Justice, and Liberal Arts as well as an eighteen-hour online certificate
program in Surveying.
Study Abroad: During the last few years, Middle Georgia College
professors have taken students abroad as part of their courses. The
106
process of studying a foreign country and then traveling in it broadens
a student’s horizons and helps the student to gain new perspectives.
Getting to know another culture and way of life can make one more
employable in our global society.

LEARNING SUPPORT
Middle Georgia College offers Learning Support courses for students
who need to improve basic skills in order to be successful in college. Middle
Georgia College is committed to meeting the individual student at the
student’s level and providing the necessary assistance to help the student
succeed.
Placement
Middle Georgia College recognizes two groups of college applicants
which might need the assistance of this program: (1) entering students who
have a total SAT score of less than 830 or ACT composite score of less than
17, and (2) students who enter with a total SAT score of above 830 but with
a score of less than 430 on the Verbal or 400 on the Mathematics portion of
the SAT or with an ACT composite score above 15 but with a score of less
than 17 on the English or 17 in Mathematics. Students who have a total
SAT score of 830 or less or an ACT composite score of 17 or less will be
asked to take the COMPASS Examination to determine placement.
Successful performance on the COMPASS Examination leads to
enrollment in the regular college program. A student who scores below the
acceptable level on the COMPASS Examination will be placed in Learning
Support.
The Program
1. Learning Support courses include one level of English, one level of
reading, and two levels of mathematics. In addition, a first-year
experience course is recommended of all Learning Support
students.
2. No degree credit is earned in Learning Support courses, but
institutional credit is awarded. Grades in Learning Support
courses are not included in the calculation of the grade-point
average, but are included in calculations for HOPE.
3. Until Learning Support requirements have been satisfied, students
are not permitted to take credit courses which require the content
or the skills of the Learning Support courses as prerequisites.
4. A student may not accumulate more than thirty (30) hours of
college-level credit before completing all Learning Support
requirements. A student who accumulates thirty (30) degree credit
hours and has not successfully completed required Learning
Support courses may enroll only in Learning Support courses until
all requirements are successfully completed. A transfer LS student
with fewer than three semesters and twelve semester hours in an
area may be granted an additional semester (up to a total of fifteen
semester hours at all institutions) if that student was making
111
appropriate progress at the sending institution and is ready for the
exit level course at the receiving institution.
5. If a student withdraws or is dropped from a Learning Support
course before the mid-term date, then the student must withdraw
from all non-learning support courses. This will result in being
withdrawn from school.
Exit Requirements
1. In order to exit Learning Support, a student must satisfy the
college’s requirements for each required area. In addition, the
student must score at or above the required score on COMPASS in
order to complete the requirements.
2. A student is allowed two attempts in English and Reading and
three attempts in Math Learning Support subject areas. If the
student does not successfully complete the Learning Support
requirements within the time limit, the student will be suspended.
All time spent in Learning Support course work within the
University System of Georgia counts towards the three-attempt
limit.
3. There are no appeals for further attempts in Learning Support.
HEALTH SCIENCES PROGRAMS

The information provided in this catalog for Health Science programs
is current as of this printing. For updated information, go to the Health
Sciences webpage at http://www.mgc.edu.
Nursing
The Associate of Science in Nursing program at MGC requires a
minimum of two years of study. Nursing courses are offered in sequence.
Advanced placement is available for LPNs on an individual basis.
Students are advised to complete as many core courses as possible prior to
entering the Nursing program.
The graduate of the program receives an Associate of Science in
Nursing degree and is eligible to write the National Council Licensure
Examination (NCLEX-RN) for licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN). The
Nursing program is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing and
accredited by the National League for Nursing. (National League for
Nursing Accrediting Commission, 61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006,
(212) 363-5555, ext. 153)
The Associate of Science in Nursing program is designed to prepare
graduates for entry-level practice as a Registered Nurse. Practice as an RN
occurs in a variety of acute, chronic, and community health care settings.
The Georgia Statewide Articulation plan provides direct access for MGC
112
RN’s to baccalaureate completion programs, without repeating Nursing or
general education core courses.
Nursing Academic Requirements

1. Students must comply with guidelines published in the nursing
student policies. Students are provided with these policies on the first
day of class each semester.
2. A minimum Nursing Core grade-point average (NCGPA) of 2.5 is
required to enter the nursing program.
3. Nursing courses are sequential. If a student fails a nursing course, that
course or its equivalent must be successfully completed before the
student can progress in the sequence. All Nursing course and clinical
requirements must be met in order to earn a grade of C or better. The
theory grading system is: A=90-100, B=80-89, C=75-79, D=60-74, F=
below 60. Grades will not be rounded. The clinical grading system is
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. A clinical grade of Unsatisfactory results
in a clinical failure and a grade of ―F‖ for the course.
4. A student who is unsuccessful in NURS 1711 will have two options for
re-entry into the Nursing Program:
a. Reapply with a nursing core GPA of 2.5 or higher.
b. Reapply with a nursing core GPA of 2.0-2.5 AND
successfully complete NURS 1221 with a grade of ―C‖ or
better.
5. A student who has failed one Health Science course at another
program may be allowed to apply, provided the student is eligible to
return to the transferring program. A student who has failed two
Health Science courses will not be allowed to enter the Nursing
program.
6. Students planning to return to a nursing course, in which they
received a grade of ―D‖, must have met the following criteria:
a. NET score of >or= 60 in reading in math.
b. Maintain a Nursing Core GPA of 2.0
c. Participate in a remediation plan for success in the
program
7. The nursing program must be completed within 4 years. Students
applying for reentry will be required to repeat any nursing courses
that will exceed the four-year limit as of the projected date of
graduation.
8. Successful completion of a Dosage and Solutions Qualifying
Examination is required each term. One rewrite/reattempt is allowed,
if necessary.
9. Each course in the nursing program may involve standardized testing.
Requirements for this testing will be explained in the course syllabus
distributed to students on the first day of class.
113
10. Exit Examination requirement: Students enrolled in NURS 2741 will
be required to take and pass an Exit Examination. The examination
will be given at least 3 weeks prior to the end of the semester. Students
who fail to make the required score of 850 will be given remediation
activities to complete prior to repeating the examination at the end of
the semester. Students who are unable to make the required score
(850) on the second opportunity will receive a grade of Incomplete (I)
for the course. The student will be given an individualized
remediation plan to complete. A third exam will be given no earlier
than one month after the second attempt and only if the remediation
plan has been completed. Students who are unable to make the
required score (850) on the third attempt will receive a course grade of
―D‖.
If a third attempt is necessary, the student will be required to pay
for the cost of the exam. If a third program exit exam attempt is
required, the student will be ineligible to participate in the Nursing
Pinning Ceremony and/or Spring Graduation. Passage of the third
program exit examination will delay graduation until the end of
summer semester and therefore delay sitting for the NCLEX and
licensure proportionately.
11. Nursing program costs, in addition to regular MGC fees, include
(approximate - subject to change):
Student Uniforms and Accessories (2 years) $ 250.00
Textbooks & Supplemental course materials (2 years) $1,850.00
Clinical Facility Requirements $ 250.00

student.
Occupational Therapy Assistant Program

The Associate of Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA)
Program at Middle Georgia College requires at least two years of study.
The OTA program may be completed on a full-time basis in two years or
on a part-time basis in three years. Occupational Therapy Assistant courses
are offered sequentially beginning in the fall. Some general education
courses are recommended for the summer prior to the fall start of OTA
courses and BIOL 2114 is required prior to fall for freshman students on
the two-year track. Students can only start the OTA program in the fall
semester which begins in August.
114
The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program prepares graduates to
provide entry-level services under the supervision of an occupational
therapist. These services include the use of purposeful activities to develop,
maintain, or restore for individuals whose functional activities are
impaired due to physical or psychosocial disabilities, developmental
deficits, aging, poverty, or socio-cultural differences.
The graduate of the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program receives
an Associate of Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant degree. Middle
Georgia College’s Occupational Therapy Assistant Program is accredited
by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education
(ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA),
4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220, (301)
652-2682. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the national

Therapy (NBCOT), 800 S. Frederick Avenue, Suite 200, Gaithersburg, MD
20877-4150, (301) 990-7979. After successful completion of this exam, the
individual will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA).
Georgia requires licensure to practice as a COTA. In addition, most states
including Georgia require licensure to practice. However, state licenses are
usually based on the results of the NBCOT certification examination. A
felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT
certification exam or attain state licensure. Contact NBCOT at (301) 990-
7979 and the Georgia State Board of Occupational Therapy at (478) 207-

program or by December of the third year, whichever occurs first.
Students who fail a level II Fieldwork course must retake the course
the next semester that the course is available. Students who are
failing may request to withdraw from Level II fieldwork courses one
time only.
7. Students can have only one failure of any OTA course, including Level
II fieldwork courses. More than one failure will result in dismissal
from the OTA program. Continuation in the OTA program after
failure of even one OTA course is at the discretion of the OTA
faculty. The student must be eligible to return to the OTA program
and to MGC.
8. The grading system for all OTA courses is: A=90-100, B=80-89.99,
C=75-79.99, D=60-74.99, F=below 60.
9. Students must complete at least one individual and one group

Fieldwork sites with the student’s permission. Students must receive
a minimum score of 75% on each section of the assessment. Students
will have 1 retake attempt. Failure on the 2nd attempt will result in
delay of Level II fieldwork by at least one semester. Students who fail
the 2nd attempt must develop a written remediation plan for the next
semester to be approved by the OTA faculty. Upon completion of
remediation activities during the next semester, students will be
allowed to test on the overall Pre-fieldwork Clinical Skills Assessment
one last time. Students who pass the final Pre-fieldwork Clinical Skills
Assessment will be rescheduled for the next available semester that
Level II fieldwork experiences are offered. Fieldwork experiences will
not be offered summer semester. Students who do not pass 75% of
each section on the final attempt of the Pre-fieldwork Clinical Skills
Assessment will be dropped from the OTA program and will not be
readmitted.
117
14. Students must complete all academic requirements and all required
OTA core courses prior to attending level II fieldwork.
COOPERATIVE PLAN IN ENGINEERING

Middle Georgia College offers the first two years of study in traditional
fields of engineering and in related areas. A large majority of graduates
continue their education at accredited senior institutions.
Cooperative study-work arrangements are available for a limited
number of students in most engineering areas. Co-op students study the
same courses and curricula as do regular students. In addition, however,
the cooperative student schedules industrial work semesters; that is, the
student alternates between study at the college and work at the industry of
assignment. Thus, the student is able to earn most, if not all, of the college
expenses while simultaneously gaining valuable experience in a chosen
profession. All fees, rules, and regulations apply to co-op as do to regular
students.
Cooperative students are selected on the basis of scholarship and
physical fitness. They spend the first two semesters pursuing regular
requirements of the curricula in which they are enrolled. Based upon their
academic progress (completion of Introduction to Engineering and a
minimum grade-point average of 2.5 are required for consideration), they
are selected for recommendation to a cooperating industry or
governmental agency for possible work assignment.
A student who is accepted into the cooperative program agrees to
remain a student at Middle Georgia College long enough to complete the
required program of study in the student’s chosen field. Normally, the
student will remain with the same employer after transferring on to a
senior college.
To remain on the cooperative program, a student must maintain a
minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 and perform with to the
satisfaction of the employer.
Interested students should apply to the Director of Career Services as
early as possible during their first semester at college.
HEALTH 1101
A major portion of the mission and philosophy of the Department of
Health and Exercise Science is to provide courses that promote the
development of physical, intellectual, emotional, and social health and
wellness of an individual.
Unless waived (see Waiver Policy below), Middle Georgia College
requires HLTH 1101 for the Bachelor of Science (BS), Associate of Arts
(AA), Associate of Science (AS), and the Associate of Applied Science
(AAS) degree.
118
Unless a waiver is granted, all students enrolled in six (6) or more
credit hours are required to enroll in Health 1101 each semester until they
successfully pass the course and thus, satisfactorily meet the requirement.
HLTH 1101 Waiver Policy

HLTH 1101 is automatically waived for students seeking an Associate
of Science degree in Nursing or an Associate of Science degree in
Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA). However, if a student changes
their major from Associate of Science in Nursing or Associate of Science in
OTA to another program of study, this waiver does not apply towards
completion of the new major’s curriculum and the student will be required
to take HLTH 1101.
CORE CURRICULUM
In keeping with the policies of the Board of Regents of the University
System of Georgia, Middle Georgia College has established a Core
Curriculum which is designed for students who wish to transfer to a four-
year college upon graduation.
The Core Curriculum offers students a broad general education
covering the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences, and the social
sciences. In addition, students are given the opportunity to begin study in a
selected major area of concentration. The Core Curriculum was established
to provide the same general education for students throughout the system
of public higher education in Georgia to facilitate transfer among the
various units of the University System of Georgia. Successfully completed
Core courses will normally transfer with full credit to any other University
System of Georgia institution.
To complete all Core Curriculum requirements, the student must
complete at least sixty semester credit hours as follows:
Area A: Essential Skills 9
Area B: Institutional Options 4
Area C: Humanities/Fine Arts 6
Area D: Science & Mathematics 11-12
Area E: Social Sciences 12
Area F: Majors (Courses appropriate to the student’s
Program of Study) 18
TOTAL 60-61
It is the student’s responsibility to discuss thoroughly with his/her

assigned faculty advisor academic plans and desired course selections in
order to determine exactly which courses should be taken. All students are
to consult with their faculty advisors in planning their course selections
prior to registration for each semester. Students who plan to transfer to a
119
college or university other than a University System institution should
refer to the catalog of the senior college to which they intend to transfer.
The general requirements for Core areas A, B, C, D, and E are
presented on pages 121-124. The specific requirements for each individual
Program of Study are listed on pages 126-227.
Please note: All electives are to be chosen from the courses listed on
pages 121-124. Courses taken in fulfillment of Areas A, B, C, D, and E
may not be used again in Area F of the Core Curriculum. Courses
taken to satisfy requirements for Area F may not be used again in
Areas A, B, C, D, or E of the Core Curriculum.

while also working on an engineering transfer program they may do so. In general,
engineering students wishing to earn an Associate’s degree are encouraged to take courses to
complete the requirements for the Physics Associate’s degree.
A student may select from the following engineering transfer programs as their major:
Aerospace Engineering
Agricultural Engineering
Biomedical Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
General Engineering

REGENTS ENGINEERING TRANSFER PROGRAMS
Qualified students seeking a bachelor of engineering degree may begin their college
studies at Middle Georgia College through the Regents Engineering Transfer Program
(RETP). Upon successful completion of the pre-engineering curriculum, students may
transfer to the Georgia Institute of Technology to complete the degree requirements. It is
expected that students in this program, like other Georgia Tech graduates, will normally
require four to five and one-half years to complete the degree requirements, depending on
their pre-college preparation, involvement in extracurricular activities, and engineering
major.
There are three different methods for admission to the Regents Engineering Transfer
Program at Middle Georgia College:
1. Entering freshman students must have achieved at least:

a. A combined SAT score of 1090;
b. Minimum of 440 on the verbal portion of the SAT;
c. Minimum of 560 on the math portion of the SAT; and
d. high school grade-point average in academic courses.
2. Entering freshman students who do not meet the requirements above may still be
admitted to this program, if they have been accepted for admission to an
Engineering Program at Georgia Tech (based on high school academic
performance). Such students must provide proof of acceptance to Georgia Tech.
3. Students who do not initially meet the requirements of either of the above methods
may join the Regents Engineering Transfer Program at the end of their freshman
year, if they meet the following requirements:
a. Completion of Calculus I and Calculus II, with grades of at least ―B‖;
b. Completion of Principles of Chemistry I and Calculus-Based Physics I,
with grades of at least ―B‖; and
c. A Middle Georgia College grade-point average of at least 3.0.
This institution’s faculty members have worked closely with Georgia Tech’s faculty to
assure a curriculum which is well-coordinated with that of Georgia Tech. Specific times each
year have been established for students to visit the Georgia Tech campus and meet with
representatives of their anticipated major.
Regents Engineering Transfer Program students who satisfactorily complete the pre-
engineering curriculum and apply for transfer will be accepted to Georgia Tech. However,
admission to the most popular majors, as for other Georgia Tech students, will be based upon
overall grade-point average, performance in the required prerequisite courses, and
availability of student spaces.
Middle Georgia College offers the Regents Engineering Transfer Program in the
following programs of study:
Aerospace Engineering
Biomedical Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Industrial Engineering
204
Materials Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Nuclear and Radiological Engineering
If a student wishes to pursue an Associate’s degree from another program of study

while also working on a RETP program of study, they may do so. In general, engineering
students wishing to earn an Associate’s degree are encouraged to take courses to complete
the requirements for the Physics Associate’s degree.
Because engineering programs include a concentration of technical courses, as well as

calculus and physics courses, the student may decide to devote one or two additional
semesters to study at Middle Georgia College before transferring to Georgia Tech.
In addition to the courses listed, Middle Georgia College also offers other technical and
liberal arts courses which will transfer to Georgia Tech. For more information on these and
other engineering and technology programs, students may contact the Engineering
Department at Middle Georgia College.
Enrollment in the Regents Engineering Transfer Program is limited to those students

who meet the qualifications listed above. However, students who do not meet the specific
qualifications for this program may still enroll in the pre-engineering program and take the
courses that will prepare them to enter the junior year at Georgia Tech or some other senior
college which offers baccalaureate programs in engineering. These students should follow
the programs which are outlined in the ―Programs of Study‖ section of this catalog.
The following MGC courses are required of all RETP transfer students:
MGC Courses Required of All RETP Majors
Course Number Description Hours

ENGL 1102 English Composition II 3
ENGR 1371 Computing for Engineers 4
MATH 2208 Linear Algebra 3
The table on the next page lists additional required and elective courses for students
transferring from MGC to Georgia Tech under the RETP program. Required courses are
indicated with an R and elective courses are indicated with an E. Students transferring to
Georgia Tech under the RETP program must complete all required courses and the
required lab science elective(s) to receive the RETP recommendation. If no lab science
electives are shown within an engineering program of study, no lab science electives are
required or the lab science elective may be fulfilled at Georgia Tech. Industrial
engineering requires two lab science electives. All other programs indicating lab science
electives require just one lab science elective.
In addition to the required and elective courses, students must also complete Humanities
and Social Science requirements by taking Humanities and Social Science courses while at
205
MGC. Students are strongly encouraged to go to the appropriate Georgia Tech engineering
school’s website and research specific curriculum requirements as well as transfer credits.

The University System of Georgia
The University System of Georgia includes 35 state-operated institutions of higher

education located throughout the state--four research universities, two regional
universities, 13 state universities, eight state colleges, and eight two-year colleges.
The 18-member constitutional Board of Regents governs the University System,
which has been in operation since 1932. Appointments of board members are made by
the Governor, subject to confirmation by the State Senate. The regular term of board
members is seven years.
The chairperson, vice chairperson, and other board officers are elected by the
members of the board. The chancellor, who is not a board member, is the board’s chief
executive officer and the chief administrative officer of the University System.
Overall, programs and services of the University System are offered through three
major components—instruction, public service/continuing education and research.
INSTRUCTION encompasses programs of study leading toward degrees ranging
from the two-year associate level through the doctoral level. Each institution determines
requirements for admission of students to instructional programs, pursuant to policies
of the Board of Regents. The board, which establishes minimum academic standards,
leaves to each institution the prerogative of establishing higher standards. Applications
should be addressed in all cases to the institutions.
For students whose goal is a degree beyond the associate level, a Core Curriculum
of study for the freshman and sophomore years is in effect at each institution. The Core
Curriculum, which facilitates transfer of freshman and sophomore degree credits within
the University System, requires 60-61 semester credit hours: 42-43 in general education
and 18 in the student’s chosen major.
PUBLIC SERVICE/CONTINUING EDUCATION encompasses, primarily, non-
degree activities, including short courses, seminars, lectures, conferences, and
consultative and advisory services. Some college degree credit courses of special types
are also offered, typically through extension center programs and teacher education
consortiums.
RESEARCH encompasses on-campus and off-campus investigations conducted
primarily by the universities but also in moderate scope at some of the senior colleges,
for discovery and application of knowledge. Research topics cover a large variety of
matters related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general needs of
society.
The policies of the Board of Regents and the administrative actions of the
chancellor provide for each institution autonomy of high degree in academic and
administrative matters. The executive head of each institution is the president, whose
election is recommended by the chancellor and approved by the board.
State appropriations for the University System are registered by, made to and
allocated by the Board of Regents. The largest share of state appropriations
(approximately 52 percent) is allocated by the Board for instruction.
Matriculation and non-residential tuition fees for all institutions are set by the
board. All resident students pay matriculation fees; out-of-state students pay non-
resident tuition in addition to matriculation. Fees for student services and activities are
established by each institution, subject to the board’s approval.
