Unusual Enrollment History

The Department of Education prevents fraud and
abuse in the Federal Pell Grant Program by identifying
students with unusual enrollment histories (UEH). The
UEH is a specific enrollment pattern in which students
attend an institution long enough to receive Title IV
credit balance refunds, leave without completing the
enrollment period, enrolls at another institution, and
repeats the pattern of enrollment just long enough to
collect another Title IV balance without having earned
any academic credit. There may be cases where
students have a legitimate reason for enrollment at
multiple institutions. However, such an enrollment
history requires a review to determine whether there
are valid reasons for the UEH. After a complete review,
a determination will be made on whether or not a
student is eligible to receive further aid.

Time Limitation on Direct Subsidized Loan Eligibility

for First-Time Borrowers
On July 6, 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the
21st Century Act (MAP-21) added a new provision to
the Direct Loan statutory requirements that limits a
first-time borrower’s eligibility for Direct Subsidized
Loans to a period not to exceed 150 percent of the
length of the borrower’s educational program. Under

PAYING FOR COLLEGE

certain conditions, the provision also causes first-time
borrowers who have exceeded the 150 percent limit
to lose the interest subsidy on the Direct Subsidized
Loans. Only first-time borrowers on or after July 1,
2013 are subject to the new provision.

Program and Course Transfer

CGTC participates in cooperative programs with
multiple colleges and universities. Articulation
Agreements apply to Associate Degree graduates
from CGTC and allow those students to receive
transfer credit toward specific degrees at receiving
institutions. The aim of these agreements is to allow
our students to transfer the knowledge they have
gained at CGTC into programs at other institutions
of higher learning. Complete information regarding
CGTC’s articulation agreements is available at www.
centralgatech.edu/articulation.

Course Transfer is an agreement between Central

Georgia Technical College and other Colleges and
Universities to accept specific courses that students
have taken at CGTC as substitutes for courses required
at those institutions. For more information about these
agreements, contact the Registrar at (478) 757-5294.

The Mini-Core agreement is an agreement between

the Technical College System of Georgia and the
University System of Georgia. It guarantees the
transfer of the courses from the BOR Transfer Chart
(with a grade of C or better) from any TCSG college to
University System of Georgia colleges and universities.

Space for certain health science program cohorts is limited by the
number of available clinical slots and/or the requirements of the
program accrediting agency; therefore, a competitive selection • Associate of Science in Nursing (AN43)

average number of students selected to each program, highest and
lowest test scores and GPAs, and highest and lowest total selection
scores for past cohorts is available at www.centralgatech.edu/competitiveselection.

Progression Requirements
Students are subject to a background check and/or drug screening based on the respective clinical/medical
facility’s requirements. If the clinical/medical facility finds the student’s background check or drug screening to be
unsatisfactory, the student will be prohibited from participating in clinical activities and will be unable to complete
his/her program of study.

Successful completion of a course requires that students receive a passing grade. It is vital to the success of the students
to maintain passing grades in all courses for all programs. To pass, students must make an A, B, or C in each course
taken.

A 90-100 4.00
B 80-89 3.00
C 70-79 2.00

Unsuccessfully completing a course would mean any grade of D, F, U, or W.

D 60-69 1.00
F 0-59 0

Should a student receive an unsuccessful grade in any course work, in any Health Science program, he or she may be
suspended from that program.

Students wishing to re-enter a Health Science program after suspension must submit an application for readmission
by the deadline date for each semester. Students wishing to return into an upper level course will be selected on space
availability and grade point average from all courses that apply to that particular major.

WITHDRAWAL FROM ANY COURSE AT ANY LEVEL MAY AFFECT PROGRESSION IN YOUR CHOSEN PROGRAM OF STUDY.

requisite must be taken prior to, or concurrently with, the course. In individual cases, prerequisites or co-requisites may
be waived upon recommendation of the instructor or approval of the department chairperson.

For a list of suggested courses in specific programs of study, refer to the appropriate program in the Aerospace, Trade &
Industry Programs; Business & Computer Technologies Programs; Health Sciences Programs; Public Safety & Professional
Services Programs; and General Studies sections of this catalog. One semester equals a minimum of seventy-five (75)
instructional days. One contact hour equals a minimum of seven hundred fifty (750) minutes of instruction.

One (1) semester hour of credit is defined as follows:

1. Lecture - One contact hour of class per week for the duration of a semester equals one semester hour of credit;

Lab 2 is defined as instruction which emphasizes teacher-assisted learning activities. Lab 2 instruction normally
requires some out-of-class preparation by the student and may require some out-of-class practice assignments.
3. Lab 3 - Three contact hours of Lab 3 laboratory per week for the duration of a semester equals one semester
hour of credit; Lab 3 is defined as instruction which emphasizes structured activities requiring the application and
practice of occupational competencies. Lab 3 instruction normally requires only limited out-of-class preparation by
the student and no out-of-class practice assignments.
