You should contact the college directly regarding the status of your college application.

There are numerous ways to pay for college. Please make sure you apply for financial assistance well before the beginning of the semester you wish to take classes.

Course credit may be awarded for courses completed with a “C” or better from a college or university accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Full credit will be awarded for courses taken under approved standards within the Technical College System of Georgia, subject to the receiving institution assuring that accreditation requirements are met. Technical Colleges must validate student competencies before awarding articulated credit for competencies learned in high school by administering the final examination/exemption examination for the course to be articulated.

Typically, course credit may be awarded for courses completed with a “C” or better from a college or university accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. However, it is the decision of the college to which you are transferring whether they will accept credit from another college.

A TCSG education is one of the best academic values in the Southeast, costing approximately $3,200 including tuition and fees. Students who receive a HOPE grant paid only an estimated $1,200 per year for school. Georgia technical colleges have many avenues to help pay for college. Convenient locations less than 30 minutes away from most Georgians eliminates the need for room and board, saving thousands of dollars. The ability to receive your certificate, diploma, or degree in less time also results in major cost savings.

If you do not understand something, the first thing you should do is speak to your instructor. If speaking to the instructor is not sufficient, you may wish to check with your college’s Student Services department to see if there are tutors available to assist you.

All colleges that receive federal funding are bound by a Federal Act call the Family Educational rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The general purpose of the act is to ensure students access to their education records and to protect such individuals’ rights to privacy by limited the transferability of their records without their consent. (Joint Statement in Explanation of the Buckley/Pell Amendment, 120 Cong. Rec. 39,858, 39,862 (Dec. 13, 1974)). “Generally speaking, parent of children who attend or have attended a school that received federal funding has rights under FERPA. However, parents transfer their rights under FERPA to their child when he or she ‘has attained eighteen years of age or is attending an institution of post-secondary education.’ 20 USC1232g(d). “(2003, FERPA Answer Book Supplement 10, page 1:2.)

All student records are housed at the college the student attended. Because the Central office does not retain any student records, please contact the technical college you attended. Make sure to provide the college with your full name, prior names if appropriate, current address, dates of attendance, student ID#, birth date, and an address as to where you want the transcript mailed. Your college may charge you a processing fee for this transcript.
