OFTC - FY13 Handbook - 13 - Admissions General Admissions Policy The admissions policy and procedures of the State Board of Technical and Adult Education and Oconee Fall Line Technical College assure the citizens of Georgia equal access to the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for them to secure personally satisfying and socially productive employment. In accordance with the Statement of Equal Opportunity, Oconee Fall Line Technical College (OFTC) does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, political affiliation or belief, disabled veteran, veteran of the Vietnam Era or citizenship status (except in those special circumstances permitted or mandated by law). OFTC is committed to an “open door” admissions policy. The “open door” policy means that any qualified applicant able to benefit from our curriculum will be served by the College on a first-applied, first-qualified basis. Entrance requirements are flexible enough to allow a student opportunity for admission into a specific program. This can be accomplished when the student demonstrates aptitude and ability for these programs as determined by satisfactory academic performance, placement tests, and other appropriate evaluations, when deemed necessary, to determine general fitness for admission. The president of the College may waive the GED/high school diploma requirement for those secondary students or those pursuing a GED who are otherwise eligible to enroll in a specific program of study. Eligible Applicants Any individual 16 years of age or older who seeks access to quality instruction designed to develop or improve occupational competencies is eligible for admission. The president of the College may waive the “16 years of age” requirement for secondary students who are participating in an articulated program of study. Required Academic Criteria A General Education Diploma (GED) or high school diploma (verified by an official transcript including graduation date and diploma type) will be required for admission to the College unless otherwise specified by the program’s standards. High school diplomas from unaccredited institutions, Certificates of Attendance or special education diplomas are not recognized for admission purposes. Home school students may follow an alternative path for admissions, described below. Students with diplomas from secondary schools located outside the United States must have their transcripts evaluated for equivalency by an approved outside evaluation organization. Applicants who have successfully completed (C or better) a minimum of 30 semester or 45 quarter hours at the degree level may submit official transcripts from all previously attended colleges accredited by an accepted accrediting agency in lieu of a GED or high school diploma. In order to be accepted by OFTC, the applicant must have been awarded a high school diploma from a secondary school that is on the Technical College System of Georgia approved accreditation agency list. Graduates of unaccredited high schools and applicants with certificates of attendance or special education diplomas must obtain a GED. Applicants of home schools located in Georgia who did not attend a recognized accredited program must adhere to the following alternative path for admission: • Submit a letter from the local superintendent’s office verifying that (1) the parent or legal guardian notified the superintendent of intent to home school and (2) that the parent or legal guardian submitted the required attendance reports to the superintendent’s office on a monthly basis as required by O.C.G.A. § 20-2-690. • Submit annual progress reports or a final transcript for the equivalent of the home-schooled student’s junior and senior years. The final progress report should include the graduation date. Applicants of home schools located outside the state of Georgia who did not attend a recognized accredited program must adhere to the following alternative path for admission: 1. Submit annual progress reports or a final transcript for the equivalent of the home-schooled student’s junior and senior years. The final progress report should include the graduation date. 2. Submit SAT or ACT scores that meet the TCSG system minimum requirements.. Admissions Procedures Applicants are processed and the names of applicants are placed on a list of programs on a first-come, first-served priority, except in competitive admission programs. Because of the increasing demand for technical training, the chances of being accepted in the desired program are better if a student applies early. Admission steps include: 1. Submit a completed application and the $20.00 application fee. 2. Submit an official copy of your high school transcript or GED transcript to the Admissions Office. (Transcript request forms are available in the Admissions Office.) 3. Submit an official copy of all postsecondary transcripts to the Admissions Office. (Transcript request forms are available in the Admissions Office.)
