SPRING REGISTRATION
Priority starts

What is Late Start?
Late start is a reduced number of weeks in which full semester courses are offered. This results in the courses
meeting for longer on meeting days and material being covered at a faster rate. This spring late start courses will be
held for a 10 week period as compared to the standard 16 week semester.
Only students who are not registered for full term courses may register for late start courses. This includes
continuing, transfer, returning and new students. Students enrolled in late start courses will have their financial aid
dispersed later in the semester than full term students receiving financial aid.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Students are responsible for being informed of all
policies and procedures required for continued
attendance at Georgia Piedmont Technical College.
Policies and procedures are generally found in this
Catalog and in the Student Handbook. Other policies
pertaining to specific student rights and regulations
are found in the Employee Manual located in the
Admissions Office, Office of the Registrar, Division
Chairpersons, Academic Deans, Dean of Student
Affairs, and Vice President of Student Affairs. Georgia
Piedmont Technical College’s regulations will not be
waived because a student pleads ignorance of
established policies and procedures. A student who is
4

unsure of any policy or procedure should seek
clarification from one of the offices mentioned above.

This document primarily addresses student enrollment
and registration at Georgia Piedmont Technical College.
The Georgia Piedmont Technical College Catalog and the
College website at www.gptc.edu contain a wealth of
information not found in this Guide. The Catalog and
college website display content for the Programs of
Study as well as basic information concerning Campus
Regulations, Admission Policies, Academic Policies,
Student Fees and Costs, Definition of Legal Residence,
Student Records, Students with Disabilities, and Library
Services. Students are encouraged to consult the
Catalog, and/or the College website for details

Dropping/Withdrawing from a Class
(See calendar for specific dates)

Did you know that dropping a class might affect more than just your grade?
• Dropping and/or withdrawal from one or more courses may affect
your financial aid.
• Dropping a course b e f o r e o r during the “Late
Registration/Add/Drop” period each term is considered a “drop.” The
course will not show up on your official transcript and you will not be
charged for the course. If you paid for the course prior to dropping it you
will receive a 100% tuition refund.
• Withdrawals after the “Late Registration/Add/ Drop” period and prior to
60% of the term will result in a grade of “W” on your transcript. Withdrawal
after 60% of the term and before final exams begin will result in a grade on
your transcript of “W” if you are passing the course at the time of
withdrawal or a grade or “WF” if you are failing the course on the last
date you attended class. A “WF” is computed in your GPA the same as an
“F.” If you withdraw from a course you must still pay all t uit io n and
fees for the course regardless of when you withdraw.
• Students are responsible for their own records and should withdraw from
a course through the Registrar’s Office to ensure tit is properly recorded.

Online Learning
Online learning is a convenient alternative to taking courses in a
traditional classroom setting. It allows the student to learn
almost anywhere and anytime according to his or her individual
schedule. To achieve the best results in an online learning course,
students must be able to work independently with little or no
supervision. The online learning courses are no different from the
regular courses taught on campus in the amount of time it takes
to do the lessons and assignments. Students have ample
opportunities to interact with the instructor and other students
through electronic means. Students must be well organized and
have a basic understanding of computer functions to be
successful in a distance learning course. If you cannot log on by
the 3rd day of class, please contact the Online Learning Help Desk.

Is an Online Course Right For You?
Students often wonder if an online course is right for them. Please
consider the following items when deciding if this is the right
instructional format for you.
1. Online courses definitely require strong student motivation
and very strong student discipline.
2. Research shows that active learners are most successful.
3. Students who are good readers and writers will perform
better in online courses. Three different reading skills are
required. First, students must be good readers--the amount
of reading is often doubled in web courses since students
must read a text and online material. Second, students
must be self-starting readers. All assignments, due-dates,
and instructions are available on the web, but students must
seek them out. Third, students must be good detail readers
and proofreaders. The slightest spelling or syntax error can
mean hours of frustration. Failure to read and follow
directions can seriously harm student performance. Students
may also have bad habits contributing to superficial reading
such as “hitting” a page, or “checking it out.” Course web
pages contain too much information for this—students must
go to the page, stop, and read the page with understanding.
4. Online courses tend to require more hours per week
than regularly scheduled classes. Students may save
some time by eliminating driving, parking, and getting a
baby-sitter, but the time to organize study, to complete
assignments, and to review for exams adds up to a
significant commitment.
5. Online courses are not self-paced. It is not possible to
enroll at any time, take tests at any time, etc. Some
courses may require students to go to the Assessment
Center for exams. There is flexibility, but all online courses
require some scheduled events. It is the student’s
responsibility to meet these due dates for each course.

Internet Courses not for you?
Still want face-to-face time with your instructor? Check out our
Web-Enhanced and Hybrid courses. A Web-Enhanced course
combines a regular classroom schedule with material placed on
the Web and available to you 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. A
Hybrid course is a blend of classroom and online learning. They
require regular attendance on campus but not as much as a
traditional or web-enhanced course. The classroom time is
supplemented with required online assignments.

10

What is a Web-Enhanced Course?
Web-enhanced classes are offered on-campus and use the
Internet in addition to the traditional face-to-face classroom
activities. The web site can include: Information, ElectronicLecture-Notes (ELN’s), Assignments, Quizzes, Tests (multiple
choice and free response), and other learning and collaboration
features. Students access these features before and after class to
further learn and reinforce what is taught and discussed in class.

What is a VIDEO CONFERENCE Course?
Georgia Piedmont Technical College is committed to utilizing and
offering the most current in educational technology to its
students. Our Video Conference courses are conducted between
our DeKalb and Newton campuses using a live, two-way audio
and video network. Fax machines are provided in each Video
Conference Lab to facilitate exchange of handouts and student
work.

What is a Hybrid Course?
Hybrid classes combine the best of online and face-to-face
classroom educational experiences. The classroom component
enables the student to have personal contact with the instructor
and the online component permits flexibility to best suit the
learning style of the student. Hybrid classes involve required but
reduced seat time for the student. Students should check with
the instructor the first week of classes for specific details.

Are you taking an online class?
If so, GPTC uses a website called ANGEL. To access it go to:
http://gptc.angellearning.com.
There is no www in the address. The address MUST be typed
EXACTLY like it is here. If it does not come up, check the spelling.
Your username and password changes from time to time so the
best way to find your current username is to go to our website,
www.gptc.edu > ANGEL > Login Info/Orientation. Always go to
this website before you attempt to login on the first day of
classes. Any changes to online course login information will be
published here first.
If you cannot logon by the 3rd day of classes, please contact:
Office of Web-Based Learning: 404-297-9522, ext. 5043, or e-mail
gptconline@gptc.edu.

This spring late start courses will be held for a 10 week period as compared to the standard 16 week semester. Only students who are not registered for full term courses may register for late start courses. This includes continuing, transfer, returning and new students.

Georgia Piedmont Technical College’s regulations will not be waived because a student pleads ignorance of established policies and procedures. A student who is 4 unsure of any policy or procedure should seek clarification from one of the offices mentioned above.

Dropping/Withdrawing from a Class (See calendar for specific dates) Did you know that dropping a class might affect more than just your grade? • Dropping and/or withdrawal from one or more courses may affect your financial aid. • Dropping a course b e f o r e o r during the “Late Registration/Add/Drop” period each term is considered a “drop.” The course will not show up on your official transcript and you will not be charged for the course. If you paid for the course prior to dropping it you will receive a 100% tuition refund. • Withdrawals after the “Late Registration/Add/ Drop” period and prior to 60% of the term will result in a grade of “W” on your transcript. Withdrawal after 60% of the term and before final exams begin will result in a grade on your transcript of “W” if you are passing the course at the time of withdrawal or a grade or “WF” if you are failing the course on the last date you attended class. A “WF” is computed in your GPA the same as an “F.” If you withdraw from a course you must still pay all t uit io n and fees for the course regardless of when you withdraw. • Students are responsible for their own records and should withdraw from a course through the Registrar’s Office to ensure tit is properly recorded.

Online Learning Online learning is a convenient alternative to taking courses in a traditional classroom setting. It allows the student to learn almost anywhere and anytime according to his or her individual schedule. To achieve the best results in an online learning course, students must be able to work independently with little or no supervision. The online learning courses are no different from the regular courses taught on campus in the amount of time it takes to do the lessons and assignments. Students have ample opportunities to interact with the instructor and other students through electronic means. Students must be well organized and have a basic understanding of computer functions to be successful in a distance learning course. If you cannot log on by the 3rd day of class, please contact the Online Learning Help Desk. SPRING 2014 • 404-297-9522 • APPLY OR REGISTER ONLINE AT WWW.GPTC.EDU 9
  • 11. Is an Online Course Right For You? Students often wonder if an online course is right for them. Please consider the following items when deciding if this is the right instructional format for you. 1. Online courses definitely require strong student motivation and very strong student discipline. 2. Research shows that active learners are most successful. 3. Students who are good readers and writers will perform better in online courses. Three different reading skills are required. First, students must be good readers--the amount of reading is often doubled in web courses since students must read a text and online material. Second, students must be self-starting readers. All assignments, due-dates, and instructions are available on the web, but students must seek them out. Third, students must be good detail readers and proofreaders. The slightest spelling or syntax error can mean hours of frustration. Failure to read and follow directions can seriously harm student performance. Students may also have bad habits contributing to superficial reading such as “hitting” a page, or “checking it out.” Course web pages contain too much information for this—students must go to the page, stop, and read the page with understanding. 4. Online courses tend to require more hours per week than regularly scheduled classes. Students may save some time by eliminating driving, parking, and getting a baby-sitter, but the time to organize study, to complete assignments, and to review for exams adds up to a significant commitment. 5. Online courses are not self-paced. It is not possible to enroll at any time, take tests at any time, etc. Some courses may require students to go to the Assessment Center for exams. There is flexibility, but all online courses require some scheduled events. It is the student’s responsibility to meet these due dates for each course. Internet Courses not for you? Still want face-to-face time with your instructor? Check out our Web-Enhanced and Hybrid courses. A Web-Enhanced course combines a regular classroom schedule with material placed on the Web and available to you 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. A Hybrid course is a blend of classroom and online learning. They require regular attendance on campus but not as much as a traditional or web-enhanced course. The classroom time is supplemented with required online assignments. 10 What is a Web-Enhanced Course? Web-enhanced classes are offered on-campus and use the Internet in addition to the traditional face-to-face classroom activities. The web site can include: Information, ElectronicLecture-Notes (ELN’s), Assignments, Quizzes, Tests (multiple choice and free response), and other learning and collaboration features. Students access these features before and after class to further learn and reinforce what is taught and discussed in class. What is a VIDEO CONFERENCE Course? Georgia Piedmont Technical College is committed to utilizing and offering the most current in educational technology to its students. Our Video Conference courses are conducted between our DeKalb and Newton campuses using a live, two-way audio and video network. Fax machines are provided in each Video Conference Lab to facilitate exchange of handouts and student work. What is a Hybrid Course? Hybrid classes combine the best of online and face-to-face classroom educational experiences. The classroom component enables the student to have personal contact with the instructor and the online component permits flexibility to best suit the learning style of the student. Hybrid classes involve required but reduced seat time for the student. Students should check with the instructor the first week of classes for specific details. Are you taking an online class? If so, GPTC uses a website called ANGEL. To access it go to: http://gptc.angellearning.com. There is no www in the address. The address MUST be typed EXACTLY like it is here.
